Straight red. I knew my Uzbek ref would come through. The Croatian coach should be the enigmatic opposing coach in every sports movie from now on. ---

Regarding chants, this is one of my favourites: > **[Andy Goram](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Goram)** > > Andrew Lewis Goram (13 April 1964 – 2 July 2022) was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Born in Bury, Lancashire, England, he started his career with Oldham Athletic and Hibernian, but he is best remembered for playing for Rangers during the 1990s, when he earned the nickname "The Goalie". In a 2001 poll of Rangers fans, Goram was voted Rangers' greatest-ever goalkeeper. > Goram appeared in 43 international matches for Scotland and was selected for their squads at the 1986 an... “After it was reported in the press that Goram had a mild form of schizophrenia, fans responded with a chorus of “Two Andy Gorams, there’s only two Andy Gorams”.[8] This chant quickly gained popularity, and became the title of a book documenting humorous football chants.” ---

CBC commentator completely missed it, even when they paused it and drew a line. My take is that CBC just picks someone who sounds British to commentate.
