And it's so difficult because I think the higher you get in the higher level you get to in any sport, I guess, there is an element that goes beyond your control and you can account for tactics, you can account for...
everything to try and give yourself the best chance to restrict these guys.
But in the end, sometimes it's, it's the reason why they're the greats because they find a way to produce in the biggest moments when they have to, and they only need a sniff.
And they are just so devastating.
And, yeah, that's, you know, ultimately they were the two players that decided our tournament in terms of, you know, the two games that we didn't win.
Yeah, listen, it's not easy.
And as you said, it can happen against the best.
That's the reality of it.
And I think in our, I think the layout of our group,
was very favorable to us.
I think we wanted that game first for sure.
You know, to not because you think you're going to get them rusty or that they're not in full flow yet, but you know, even for us to just feel our way in and to do it against the best team first, I think is the best way.

You know, of course, the Denmark win was the deciding result in the sense and against, you know, our first win against the top 10 nation in a competitive tournament was an insane achievement from us.
And, you know, that game is...
you know, that will be probably the one that's more remembered.
But the Tunisia game was the most important game.
That's the make or break game, the second game.
If you go out there and you don't win or get a result in that game, then, you know, your tournament's over in five days and, you know, you have to go in โ a bit like in 2018, you have to go into that last game.
