I think for a lot of people, what they first found out about you is obviously the goal call, right?
Gold, but when Kolo Muani is one on one with Emi Martinez, did you want to yell no?
How did you, how did you handle that?
How did you restrain yourself?
That is such a, that is such a good observation because I, I'm gonna share something with you that I haven't shared too many times.
I did not want to watch, uh, the replay of the World Cup that I called.
I, I think I watched it in the first year anniversary because I did not remember.
I was so, like, into my emotions that I didn't remember how the rest of the 123rd minutes went from, you know, my, my style and such a big occasion, such a big game.
I was thoroughly relieved.
Uh, when I listened to every single word that I said during the 123 minutes and the penalty kicks, that was a very well-balanced, uh, broadcast.
Um, and then I didn't remember what the heck I said when Kolo Muani was one on one, and I thought I had missed the call, and no, I did not.
I said these are my exact words, Lovagane Francia.
All I remember when I saw.
Otamendi missed the, the clearance on his bicycle kick.
I was, I, I mean, I was dying inside.
I was ready to cry for the wrong reason.
And I said on the broadcast Lovagane Francia, which means France is going to win him and I, but your brain was saying I cannot.
I don't know, but I don't even know if I saw the save.
I did because obviously I referenced it, but I was like, man, that final, that moment, that, that everything was like something else.
