So as a campaign as a whole, we are where we should have been.

That was the thing.

We were trying to get above Hungary and we just about did.

So what's your grading?

Is it an A plus?

Well, it's not an A plus.

You don't qualify.

Is it a B, C?

What do we think?

Like what percentage?

What are you giving him or the coach, staff, the players?

Green shoots, yeah.

And I suppose, just before we kind of wrap up here, like, that euphoric moment that we had in Budapest, this collective, yeah, moment of astonishment of just, like, the best, like, most, you know, unsurprising, or most surprising thing that maybe has ever happened in Irish football in that time, I suppose.

That, we kind of rode that wave all the way to Prague.

And...

I've seen people writing about it.

I've seen people speaking on podcasts and stuff about the kind of Prague experience and 6,000 Irish descended on Prague for what essentially was a World Cup semi-final playoff, which we ultimately didn't win.

But for you, has the feeling around this national team, has that changed?

Yeah.

Like it wasn't in a really bad place.
