Ireland don't win four games in a row.

Ireland don't win five games in a row.

It's almost the sequence, the remarkable sequence that it would represent.

In isolation, there's nothing terrifying about this fixture.

So you have to believe that it's...

Plausible.

Yeah, I've always had this niggly feeling that Ireland could maybe get through this game.

My prediction about the next game wouldn't be as positive.

That to me is like a scenario that I feel like Denmark are the best team in this section, you know, and they are the team to beat in it.

I think this could swing either way.

So, yeah, I don't know.

I think there's a real... This is my point about... I'll go back to it.

We're painting a picture of potential Czechia disharmony here.

And the strange thing is that I almost feel like you have to prey on that a little bit and not be too conservative in how you approach it as a consequence because you might end up regretting it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it's hard to condense it into just one anecdote.

Like, it was sort of a three-day trip to get to... I've heard so much about Hamer being from an island somewhere, and that sort of loosely existed in the consciousness of where he's from.

But actually just going there, I mean, it is an extraordinarily remote place.

I mean, what strikes me more than anything, I got to meet some of Hamer's family, some of his...

Some of his friends, you know, heard about his, you know, his life story.
