The Germany one's easy.
Don't get humped.
The Czech Republic one's a little bit different.
That was a football game that just didn't go our way.
The Germany one was obviously more disappointing because we didn't get anywhere near the level that we can get and they obviously, as a host nation, they played a great game.
Team selection is always difficult.

I still haven't picked a team yet, if I'm being honest.
The players don't know the team, so I still haven't done it.
