And wasn't it a classical Australian ambush?

I tell you, it took me back to cricket, the 1987 World Cup, which Australia won from nowhere in India with an unfancy team.

And Bob Simpson got them together at the start and said, we are in a beautiful position here.

No one expects us to win.

We are the fittest team in the World Cup and we're filthy rotten hungry.

We're ready to go.

And that's an Aussie ambush then.

And the narrative is so rich again.

That sort of feeling is, boys, be free.

No one expects you to do anything.

You don't have to carry the burdens of France and Brazil.

You know, it's wonderful.

Oh, it is.

And, you know, I looked at the – when the team's running out, I looked at where the Turkish players had come from.

Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan, superstars of the game.

I was at a function yesterday, Gerard, with a lot of real diehard soccer fans, and they were the ones who were really giving credit.

They were saying, hey, this is the biggest moment in Australian soccer history.

This is outstanding.

You know, I think Australia were $4.50 to win, but once again –

If you get them fit and you just release them and he's gone, Tony Popovich, with youth, it's a great gamble.
