Mike Brown’s first moment on the mic as a champ:
“Who let the dogs out, woof woof woof woof” 🤣
Swiss coach Murat Yakin was pressed on the age of his squad and his lack of trust in younger players:
“Experience is a very positive thing… We have a good system….You have to deserve a place as a regular player… Not enough to have 1-2 good matches.”
Frustrating end for the Spurs. They’ve been in every game which is a testament to their talent. But they’ve also blown several late sequences which speaks to inexperience and/or limitations.
Lopetegui said the Qataris started adjusting their body clocks to the 12p kickoff time a month ago. Normally, his players are used to playing at night. He said the pitch was good and that both teams had to suffer the same in the hot weather.
First World Cup point in Qatar history. They’re loving it.
New York Post: “QATAR WIN 1-1”
Where’s the Qatari afterparty in Santa Clara????
Any hope that Julen Lopetegui's Qatar would have an advantage in this heat was quickly extinguished in the first half. No one can run. There is no pressure on the ball. The Swiss are playing right through them...
Quality should improve with the later kickoff times IMO.
How far is FIFA going with its brand restrictions? The condiments at the Levi’s Stadium press box have all been taped over 😆
