He tries to argue that some of the footballers view the World Cup as “an unattractive alternative to a well-earned beach holiday”—I don’t agree. I actually find it cheering that very rich footballers care so much about the World Cup (for which they are not paid at all): they really want to play, they really want to play well, and they really want to win. So it’s about sport, it’s not about money. I suppose this is the way one has to be, if one is to be a great at (any) sport. 14:37
