Discussion on Soccer Match Controversy

It was a bad decision. They shouldn't even be reviewing these things on slow motion, right?

It should be reviewed in live action. I think it was the right decision to rehearse it.

And if you're Belgian, why would you want to play a game like winning a match,

and then you win this match, and then everyone will argue you didn't really win it

because their best, their leading scorer was not on pitch during the match.

So, it's kind of unusual, because generally speaking, I mean, if you're playing,

you want the other side to be at its best, so that your victory is not tainted in that way.

So, I think it was the right decision. Obviously, there's a lot of drama around it and so forth.

But I think it was the right decision to rehearse it, because that decision initially,

from everyone I've heard, I'm not an expert, you know, I don't claim to be an expert on soccer,

but from everyone I've heard that knows about this, they all say that, you know,

the guy's head wasn't even looking down. It wasn't like he knew where he was stepping.

So, look, maybe it's turning into an international incident. I don't know.

Maybe we'll bring it up at NATO tomorrow, where there were the Belgians and everybody else.

But I just hope the match will go on, everyone will be at full strength, and the winner will be the winner.
