Can you be reasonably excited? voice-verified

No. voice-verified

Feels like a yes or no, either or. voice-verified

There's this question of whether England can get over the line. voice-verified

I think to get over the line, you've got to be at the line. voice-verified

And that's actually the hard part. voice-verified

Putting in the processes, putting in the systems, putting in the work, building a culture and a squad. voice-verified

Tuchelpil, I tell you, I'm Tuchelpil. voice-verified

But that's the hard work. voice-verified

And honestly, I think the last decade in my lifetime watching England has been the most successful decade of my lifetime and since 66. voice-verified

And I think it's just edges. voice-verified

It's just edges now. voice-verified

If Rashford's penalty is a couple of inches to the right in the final against Italy in 2021... voice-verified

then that penalty shootout ends up quite differently. voice-verified

I think at 2024, the edges kind of went England's way and the performances perhaps weren't quite there and still got to the final. voice-verified

And I don't think they would have deserved to win that tournament. voice-verified

But you can look at the last three tournaments. voice-verified

Certainly they've been at that line and it's about getting over it. voice-verified

2018 was a little bit different. voice-verified

I think, you know, none of us expected that. voice-verified
