And it changes the dynamic because you suddenly think, oh, if we go too high and condense Ireland, Hungary did.
And then there's an out-ball over the top.
It just drops it and it just allows you as a defence on the other end of the pitch to get up there.
It'd be fascinating, like you're right, in terms of where we are, fitness levels.
But it's such a massive game.
We talked about servicing to Troy as well.
So the dynamic of that midfield set-up is going to be fascinating because you need that combative nature in there to kind of stay in the game.
You'll need physicality because the Czechs are quite a big team.
