the Russians’ “endurance” advantage in extra time against Croatia.
I’m also surprised that the commentator today made a joke about the Russian coach either having a long stay in Siberia or tea at the Kremlin. That seems like a crack one would make during a remote broadcast. At least that’s what I assume. Otherwise ABC/ESPN would be wise to fly in another announcer just in case of an unfortunate accident.
He’s almost as much of a treasure as Derek Rae. If something happens to him, it’s war.
