## Transcript

Yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I asked for a review because I didn't think it was a foul. And you know, again, I'm good at this stuff. I didn't think it was a foul. I thought it was two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled. That was not a that was not a guy punching somebody in the face or anything that, you know, would be different. And I think it's I think it's a terrible. If they wouldn't allow, you know, a top player, maybe the best maybe among the best players on the team to play, I think it would have had a big stain. How would you feel if I took a you know, we take a messy out look.

You know, he ran into somebody or we took Rinaldo. Rinaldo, you bumped into somebody. We're going to take you out of a game. He's great. I think they made a really brilliant decision. I think the referee's call was horrible.
