Mira lo que Cantor ha dicho esta sera: Del NYT live blog (probablemente traducido):

Cantor lets rip

Andres Cantor didn’t hold back at the final whistle, visibly frustrated but careful to stop short of the politics:

💬 “I hope there’s clarity about where this game was lost. Belgium was the better team, but the U.S. showed a different attitude — this wasn’t the team we saw in previous World Cup matches. The Balogun issue, we said, could have repercussions, all the noise around his situation. So much so that there are complaints, enormous discomfort from UEFA, from national associations and confederations.

“We don’t know whether the Balogun issue affected them or not. Today the United States, perhaps not by coincidence, played their worst match of this World Cup. A national team that earned, through no fault of its own, the antipathy of the world.

“Today, people will keep saying justice was served, in the football world and in the world at large. The taste in our mouths, beyond the defeat, could have been a different one.”

For a broadcaster who chooses his words carefully, that was about as pointed as it gets without crossing into open commentary on the politics behind it.

Makes me think I’d enjoy football commentary if only it were done by Leko and Polgar.
