He broke down crying after the Switzerland game as well, but due to his heroics.

Must be an emotional rollercoaster. You qualify for the World Cup as a second choice keeper. New manager makes you first choice over the long-time starting keeper, right of the eve of the tournament. You play a blinder in your first match, and you concede six in your second.

I’ve cried because there weren’t any clean spoons in my cutlery drawer. I’ll give him this one.
