"There were some absolutely BRUTAL rallies!" - Farag v Elias - World Tour Finals 2019-20 - FGF

[@Moose92411]

That 13-12 rally was OBSCENE. Just an unbelievable level of determination from both young men.

[@vensevenhelijunkie]

You have crickets in your studio lol. Missed half a game searching for it in my room. Just had to pause the video and its gone 🤣

[@captainwaldo]

Hahahaha

[@dulcedespertar2348]

Now Diego Elias is the world champion 🏆 number 1 he is the Best Congratulations Diego for you and for Peru 🇵🇪

[@sanchitsinghiitg]

I could just play it and go to sleep and when I wake up next morning, these 2 will still be going on with their rallies.

[@oliverkerr5620]

wow your sleep schedule is bad

[@jediali221]

fantastic coverage of the court, nice skill, cleaned up nicely, pro mopper...squash was good too

[@nickyork8901]

The rally at around 28:00 is amazing.

[@pranaykapoor8508]

Elias is so good, I really want to see him win a few tournaments.

[@vedantjalan4124]

Well he did

[@ShellysAshes]

It's a good thing Elias is a talented athlete because he wouldn't get a gig as a pro mopper.

[@darkninja1693]

What's a mopper?

[@ShellysAshes]

@@darkninja1693 Someone who mops the floor of sweat.

[@ItsHeebyGeeby]

Top game. Some outrageous pick ups.

[@gruffyddgozali]

That was an incredible game. Wow

[@alborznekoeian4096]

In comparison to other top squash players like paul and ali and shorbagys i think diego gets tired a little bit sooner than the others . If he get phisically stronger then we will witness another #1 in the world

[@fern6114]

Perfect players and great video, thanks Ps can somebody smash that cicada 😎👍🇱🇺

[@jgallagher1359]

12-13 is prob the best point i've ever seen

[@kylemerenaandfinley]

When the ref said after his reveiw was shot down that "It doesn't matter how tight the shot is" ?? that is a very limited application of the proper rules, Elias had 2 winners from that same shot on the same side in that game That would have been frustrating!

[@yaboiicj94]

He needs to clear his shot though. He needs to move out the way

[@yaboiicj94]

The ball was high as well

[@johnrogstad1278]

I think the ref was just trying to shut down Elias's attempts at arguing. It certainly does matter how good the shot is, as I have seen virtually every ref (including this one) deny a stroke when the shot was a total winner (even if they blocked the other player). In this case, it was tight but getable (imo).

[@keva1700]

Wow.

[@jusesjimmybars]

typical wadi degla racists. massive long rally, the egyptian didn't win the rally so don't clap. same every year. great ambassadors for the sport so they are...

[@mujadidbutt6137]

@@martinjefferies666 Watch your mouth. Please.

[@liamlouw4643]

What's racist about clapping for a national player?

[@ShellysAshes]

I don't think you can say it's racist. It's just the Egyptian crowds are more like football crowds than your average squash crowd. They can be very stingy in appreciating the non-home player, whereas in other countries, if one player is a home player and the other from a different country, they'll clearly be supporting the home player but will clap respectfully for the away player too. Egyptian crowds can sometimes not clap at all when the away player deserves it.

@@mujadidbutt6137 you might not like what he’s saying, but he’s not wrong. They’re dreadful sportsmen in Egypt. The crowds in Europe, Hong Kong, US, etc., are so much better.

@@baseballgenius3 ok in squash or ... but I’ve been to to the states for a hockey game ... not obvious sportsman there. How about boo the other teams national anthem?

29:46 a comedy show

[@ericj.thibeault6039]

This mopping the court every couple of shots is ridiculous and an exploitation of the rules.

[@threethrushes]

I find it insane that in a professional sport, the athletes have to do maintenance on the court (mopping). Could you imagine top-level tennis without ball-boys, or ice hockey players driving a zamboni to clean the ice? Insane.

[@squashtv]

It's only during COVID times to avoid anyone else having to enter the court with them

[@threethrushes]

@@squashtv That makes sense! Great commentary guys. Keep safe.

[@777greglee]

Elias' gamesmanship here bordered in cheating. Squash is meant to be continuous play as far is as practical and he did everything he could to delay the game. I would have been happy to see John Mazzarella award a stroke against him in line with rule 7.6 (7.6 The Referee, on deciding that a player has delayed play unreasonably, shall apply Rule 17.).

[@jsstt]

Never seen worse refereeing than the one in this game... truly shameful decisions

[@stevehufford7431]

sure looked like Farag charged into Elias' back repeatedly near the end of game 1, and he was rewarded with a stroke repeatedly. Not great refereeing, in my opinion. There was a clear path to the ball, and he chose to charge into his opponent's back instead.

[@svenclaassen2364]

No one got the jokes in the beginning.

[@jazhou83]

lol literally crickets

[@pimeto]

wtf is this chirping cricket......... man, drives me crazy!

[@alborznekoeian4096]

Masarella should retired.

[@SpawnNL]

Either mop the floor quickly or continue playing, stop being so annoying..

[@BFAREY]

Elias VS Farag-Ref. Unbelievable in 2020 we are still being witnesses of such behavior by refs. That is another reason for squash not to be in olympics yet.

[@philgarrett5498]

What are you talking about?
