I think from the sounds of it, they were traveling kind of right as these discussions were ongoing, which is, I think, even less ideal.

And probably the last thing they want after quite a mentally draining game as well in the round of 32, I think that it's kind of a lot to deal with psychologically.

But their whole kind of mentality to this, I think, has been things are going to come up.

You have to just kind of roll with the punches and ride with it.

And if you let it kind of get on top of you, then it's going to be detrimental.

Enjoyed the rehashing of the Wayne Rooney tweet as well from what is more than a decade ago now of the kind of footballers hate trying to wolf down pasta at 9am for a noon kickoff.

So that was good fun.

I think they have to.

They'd be silly not to.

It's such a different test psychologically to what they've had this whole tournament and in previous tournaments and in future tournaments.

I think very rarely do you tend to play a host nation kind of anyway and to play them kind of at a ground like this kind of with the atmosphere as well.

You'd think that a lot of players are well prepared for this kind of having gone on deep tournament runs at club level and plenty of players with previous kind of tournament experience as well with England.

I think in many ways, this might be theoretically one of the hardest games of the tournament because kind of you look at kind of the teams you might face in deep rounds if you get through.

Okay, there's kind of high quality in Argentina, Brazil.

But as a psychological test, that is a lot harder to prepare for.

You can, you know, Tuchel can create a good match plan, a good tactical plan.

But if your players are scared under the pressure, there's not kind of a lot of easy solutions to that.

Let's just see how we go.

Well, if you plan to get to the final, right, we're talking eight games and three of those are in the group stage.
