Sitting six seats away from tragic Grant Wahl put World Cup histrionics into perspective

When Wout Weghorst expertly turned in the Dutch equaliser in the eleventh minute of added time, Grant Wahl was as incredulous as the rest of us in the media tribune of the Lusail Stadium.

Sat half a dozen seats to my left, Wahl - a towering figure of football journalism - sent out a tweet, marvelling at the ‘incredible’ moment.

And moments later, he was dead.
