Had the crowd doing the Icelandic hand clip whilst MVG was throwing.
Appeared to call MVG a w**ker on camera.
Mockingly imitated his fist pump.
Although he praised MVG in his post-match interview he kept messing around trying to steal the limelight.
Apart from that he behaved really well.

Maybe a bit desperation to try and put him off. MVG far too good for anyone right now.
