I think it would have had a big stain and I related just that feel I didn't tell him what to do I can't tell him what to do but and I don't believe he made the decision I think it was a committee that made the decision and they made the right decision because number one it wasn't a foul and you want to see a game with your best players you don't want to say how would you feel if I took you know we take Messi out look you know he ran into somebody or we took Ronaldo, Ronaldo, you bunked into somebody. We're going to take you out of the game. He's great. Well, Harry Kane, Harry Kane, we're going to take you out of the game, Harry, because you happen to hit somebody a little bit harder than you can't. You can't do that. If you would have taken him out, I think it would have really stained this incredible champion. We've got to have our best players, and they've got Belgium's got a great team, by the way. We have our best players, and they have to have their best. And if we win or we lose, it's fair. Otherwise, let's say we lost him and we lose the game. It would be a terrible thing. So I think they made a really brilliant decision. I think the referee's call was horrible. And nobody talks about that. They talk about the red card like it's fine. Nobody talks. The referee's decision.
