Transcript
00:00How is Flo doing and what did you make of the red card?
00:03Yeah, it's tough. Those circumstances, I'm not sure if it calls for a red card.
00:09Obviously, when you slow something down, it always looks worse than it is in real time.
00:12I know the Bosnia player was hurting pretty bad, so I don't know,
00:16but I looked at the video of it again.
00:18I think he's looking at the ball when he goes to change direction for the ball.
00:21I don't think he intends to obviously stomp on someone's leg.
00:24I've seen a couple of plays like that throughout this tournament that didn't result in the same,
00:27but the other cards were given.
00:30Have you had a chance to watch that back? What do you think?
00:36I don't think I'm going to say anything, but I think from my reaction, you can probably tell
00:40when I think.
00:40How is Flo in the changing room?
00:44Yeah, of course, he's bummed out he got a red card.
00:46He's happy we enhance more than anything.
00:51Obviously, Sportable will help us get through, so the club's great.
00:55Hoxie's Thanksgiving won't be available for us in the next game.
00:59We have a very, very great squad, and whoever goes in for him will be ready to go.
01:03And then, yeah, the red card is just unlucky.
01:06I think he didn't do it with an intention.
01:09He just landed on his foot.
01:13It's unfortunate, but that are the rules.
01:16What did you make of that incident?
01:19I mean, it's a hard one to take, to be honest with you.
01:24He's been bumped.
01:26They've both gone in for a ball that's bouncing.
01:30They both make contact, and he's got to put his foot somewhere.
01:34It's not like he's looking to step on the back of somebody.
01:37So, yeah, unfortunate the way that it played out.
01:41I haven't seen it back too many times, but I think, yeah, you can see it's not intentional.
01:46There's two guys kind of pulling each other, and he's just trying to take a step,
01:49and he's accidentally stepped on them.
01:51I don't think it's serious foul play.
01:54I've seen fouls that, well, I think the fouls that are worse than that,
01:57worse challenges that haven't been punished.
01:59So, it's disappointing.
02:00It's really disappointing for him as well.
02:01But, you know, it's lost and it's done now, and we've got to move on.
