The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

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...

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

everything to try and give yourself the best chance to restrict these guys.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

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.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

And they are just so devastating.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

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.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

Yeah, listen, it's not easy.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

And as you said, it can happen against the best.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

That's the reality of it.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

And I think in our, I think the layout of our group,

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

was very favorable to us.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

I think we wanted that game first for sure.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

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.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

So then, you know, you move forward a couple of days and then,

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

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.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

And, you know, that game is...

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

you know, that will be probably the one that's more remembered.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

But the Tunisia game was the most important game.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

That's the make or break game, the second game.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

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.

The Howie Games
268: Jackson Irvine (Part B)

You know, I don't know.
