Yeah, really good, Mike.

I think a great start.

Clearly a couple of things to tidy up defensive-wise, but great to score a couple of goals and get some points on the table.

Look, I think it's going to have to be Mike.

We're probably going to have to just raise the quality right across the pitch up another level.

I think the Egyptian side will be very, very strong and tough to beat.

Having said that, I think the boys will be in a good space, take some real confidence out of that first game and hopefully take it to a slightly different level and get us three points.

Quite outstanding, really, Mike.

I think there's always that question around should it be 48 teams and the extension of different numbers.

But for me, goals are being scored.

Very competitive.

I think there's only probably been a couple of blowouts.

So nothing too much on that spectrum.

But, no, super exciting.

I'm in Vancouver.

The mood is healthy.

People everywhere just loving the game.

Good.

And stadiums have been pretty full too, mate.

Yeah, very much.
