England vs. Norway gave us **The Phantom Cable**...did the ball really hit the camera drone cable, or are we being sold a ghost story? Meanwhile, **VARgentina** is now **8-for-8** on VAR calls…
Oh, yeah.
And what-- 'cause we haven't even talked about it a little bit.
We texted-
Yeah
... like an inkling, but I knew we would talk about it here.
What do you think? Is this, is this cable gate, drone gate? Uh-
[laughs]
Ugh
...
Well, I mean, so yeah, I didn't get to watch the game live 'cause I was working, so I was like running back and forth.
Okay.
You know, popping in here and there.
Um, and then as I was like on a break just kinda catching up on what I had missed, I saw, yeah, talk of, of, well, I guess it was the video that Fox and Rebecca Lowe put forward of, you know, here's this video of it hitting the cable and, uh, I mean, even watching that I was like, I c- that's a terrible angle.
Your zoom in is like now three pixels.
Like- [laughs]
You're right
... it's really hard to tell.
So that was my initial view of it.
But, um, it seemed to have some traction, so like that's when I reached out to you like, "The hell just happened here, and how was it not called back?" [laughs]
In real time, didn't even notice it.
Um-
Uh, uh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And what-- 'cause we haven't even talked about it a little bit.
