- 0:00Speaker 1: Drone gate. It's all anyone is talking about it at the Olympics, really,
- 0:03Speaker 1: isn't it. We've just lost to the Canadians by the
- 0:05Speaker 1: way to one in the women's soccer this morning, women's football,
- 0:09Speaker 1: I should say, imagine being that assistant coach and the
- 0:13Speaker 1: analyst who were caught, who were busted. You know, you
- 0:16Speaker 1: go to the Olympics, it's one of your proudest moments.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Your family is behind you, your kids are cheering you on. Wow,
- 0:22Speaker 1: it's incredible they're over there. And then imagine the shame
- 0:26Speaker 1: of flying home before the games have even begun. I mean,
- 0:30Speaker 1: I could think of nothing worse. And you're coming home
- 0:32Speaker 1: basically a spy. You know, you've broken the rules. Imagine
- 0:36Speaker 1: that plane ride, and imagine facing your family and facing
- 0:39Speaker 1: your country when you go home. The shame of it,
- 0:42Speaker 1: and why apparently they're way better than us anyway, the
- 0:45Speaker 1: reigning champs and they've just beaten us to one over
- 0:47Speaker 1: in Paris. The head coach, Bev Priestman, is staying on.
- 0:51Speaker 1: She sat out the match this morning. But I don't
- 0:56Speaker 1: know if you dope, you get disqualified, don't you. Isn't
- 1:00Speaker 1: isn't spying? Isn't cheating the same. And you can't tell
- 1:03Speaker 1: me the coach didn't know. You know, if the assistant
- 1:06Speaker 1: coach is involved, surely the head coach was not would know.
- 1:09Speaker 1: And if the head coach knows, surely the players would know.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Did they see the footage? You can't unsee the footage,
- 1:16Speaker 1: can you. I know I might be biased because I'm
- 1:19Speaker 1: a Kiwi, but I say send them all home. Send
