Talking about the patient, the Dailymail report says that he underwent surgery on his “lower regions” in Kielce on November 25. At that point, Wales and Iran were playing each other with the Asian side pulling off a 2-0 upset against the Europeans. During the match, the unnamed man reportedly asked the doctors if he could watch the game.
After giving him spinal anesthesia, the doctors let him watch the World Cup on the television placed in one corner of the operating theatre. The procedure, which lasted up to three hours, gave the man ample time to watch the Wales team get defeated. Talking about the teams in question, they crashed out in the Group stages. However, Iran created history after beating Wales and has made a name for itself.
On the other hand, Wales couldn’t recover from the loss and lost to England badly to crash out. The tournament has reached the quarterfinal stage, which will start on December 9. The winners will head straight into the semifinals.
