But I suppose maybe it's a bit of a cliched answer whenever the players have been asked about that kind of thing.
in this tour they had the same question come up when they played azteca because obviously that's famously where maradona did the hand of god and scored one of the greatest um kane put it best himself you know we don't focus too much on it on the past it's about writing you know new history fresh history um for themselves and i do think these players are um
disassociated from those experiences long enough.
That happened a long time ago now, really.
It might not feel like it to me and yourself, but to these players, a lot of them were born around the period or even after any of those things happened.
So I don't see them being weighed down by the sort of the history behind this fixture.
But that doesn't mean it's going to be an easy one for them to get through.
Yeah, I mean, we've been there already for...
The DR Congo Games, that was the first knockout stage, the last 32.
Amazing stadium.
I mean, it's a roasting hot city.
At least it was then, and I imagine it will be again.
But it's all indoors and under a roof, which that's the great irony of this tournament from England's perspective, is they spent about two weeks in Florida trying to acclimatise to the extreme heat that they were expecting.
But the only time they've actually come across it
has been in Miami where it was just super humid rather than really hot because they've either played indoors or they've played when it's been raining.
I mean, Boston, it was, you know, very drizzly, 22 degrees.
It was totally fine.
And they'll be back under the roof here.
I imagine amongst the fan base, there will be a lot of nerves.
There always would be with that baggage that comes with those previous heartbreaking disappointments.
