Bill Belichick is probably in a good mood today. After all, the New England Patriots’ head coach just watched the country of his ancestors knock the big favorite out of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
After a 1-1 draw at the end of extra time, Croatia was able to beat Brazil 4-2 on penalty kicks.
Because of the penalty shootout, Belichick arrived a few seconds late to the Patriots’ Friday practice. And when he did, he left no doubt about his allegiances: “How ‘bout that,” he proclaimed when walking up the stairs to the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium.
