Joey Mulinaro is a comedian, radio presenter, and impressionist, with an ever-increasing mastery of American college sports figures. In this sketch, he’s put that knowledge of sporting tropes to excellent use.

You could drop these phrases straight into a post-match interview with any number of coaches.

“That’s always a little bit of a tough challenge.”

“It’s still early. Still a long way to go.”

“I should have known, going in. I felt like I stumbled a little bit out of the gate.”

Joey’s “interview” has picked up almost 50,000 retweets in less than 48 hours, and has been viewed well over five million times.

Here are a few of the many comments.

Much respect. There’s beauty in the struggle. Take that 22% laugh rate, use it as fuel, and knock that shit out of the park next time, Champ. You got it.

Keeping it honest and holding yourself accountable is the key to the post-game interview. Handled like a pro. https://t.co/s2ORnoVUUU

Can’t believe no one asked about putting his hand on mom’s thigh under the table. The cameras caught it clear as day.

Why do reporters always try to ask these loaded questions right after a tough match. "How was moms cooking?" C'mon Karen you're better than that. Have some class.

Finally, Sky Sports commentator, Gary Taphouse, gave his expert opinion.

He's nailed the footballer body language and "serious response-quick jovial bit-back to serious" answers. Superb. https://t.co/q1f0HEExJM

Looks like he’s had a more promising start to the season than he realised.
