Emmy-winning sportscaster and Telemundo Deportes host Miguel Gurwitz joins Jesús Quiñónez on this episode of ‘Fútbol y Soccer’ to talk about his previous experience in Qatar and what it will be like to host its seventh FIFA World Cup.
Gurwitz shares some of the storylines he thinks will be the most interesting to come out of Qatar: “I think Cristiano Ronaldo’s last World Cup, Messi’s last World Cup is… If he’s able to compete in this debate who is bigger, Maradona or Messi? Maradona, because he won a World Cup, Messi… you know… So I think it’s… for me, this is the most important conversation of the World Cup.” .
He also goes back in time to one of the 2014 World Cup’s most memorable moments, the Netherlands’ controversial penalty against Mexico: ‘It was painful. I spoke to Arjen Robben maybe four years later. I went to Germany, had an interview with me and he said… come on Arjen, tell me the truth… and he said no, it was a penalty, and you know what? I think it was,” he said.
