Go on.

I think certainly, Rick, I think what they've looked at this week is maybe, I don't want to call it a low block because I think anyone will go into the game and want to be on the front foot and actually be proactive in trying to win the game.

But from what I understand, I don't think it makes sense in them chasing the game from the very off.

I think, as Dion said, they need to choose their moments and sort of preserve as much energy as they can.

So to go hell for leather from the first whistle, that's just unsustainable.

So they're going to have to be clever about it.

They're going to have to go about the game in a different way than perhaps...

We would recognise a Thomas Tuchel side would be on the front foot and sort of press and be proactive.

But in the conditions that they're going to be playing in, it's sort of 2,240 metres above sea level, you know, needs must.

And they're going to have to adjust their style according to those energy sapping conditions.

I guess the key

development, Rick, out of training today was the return to training of Jarrell Kwanzaa.

So he hasn't featured in training or in any of the matches since coming off with an ankle injury against Ghana in the second game.

But he made his first return to full training today and he's available now for the game against Mexico.

He's only got that one training session under his belt.

But that does...

sort of lessen, I guess, the right-back crisis that Thomas Tuchel's got at the moment.

We know Rhys James, he hasn't trained today, so it looks very unlikely that he's going to be available for the game.

So at the moment, it's looking like a toss-up between Jed Spence, perhaps Esri Konza goes back into right-back, and now maybe Jarrell Konza, if...
