Like everyone was like, oh, where is this goal?

And I had to pull out the map all the time and say, oh, down there.

Yeah, there was something I had to realize.

Yeah.

Because obviously I was playing kids from Heaven and Boy High School, Auckland Grammar, all that type of stuff.

And I was like, okay, I have to actually realize that because I remember sitting in the changing room sometimes and I was like, well, geez, am I good enough to be here?

Yeah.
