00:00I think, yeah, maybe leading up into the tournament there was, you know, a situation especially
00:04with probably fitness towards the back end of the season for quite a lot of players and,
00:09you know, even in the selection that the manager had to choose between players who were injured
00:13and not quite fit. So, yeah, maybe leading up there's been a bit of a difference. I think,
00:19yeah, in the past two tournaments especially, you know, we've been on the same amount of
00:23points, the same kind of, we won the first, we drew the second. But, yeah, I don't think
00:28we played well in the Denmark game. I think we dropped below what we know we can. But,
00:35yeah, overall I think, you know, we are calm. We have been here before. We've got a lot
00:40of experience, you know, so it's not a time to panic, of course, but it's a time to obviously
00:46try and improve. And I think, yeah, for me, I think always in these tournaments, especially
00:51these early stages, it's almost, you know, I love my other sports, it's almost like a
00:55boxer in the first couple of rounds, just seeing where everyone's at, seeing how you
00:58feel. Or a golfer in a major tournament, just kind of, OK, it's the first round, don't play
01:03yourself out the tournament, just be calm. And that's kind of where I think where we're
01:07at, you know, we're looking where we can improve. And, of course, we know we can improve, but
01:11it's not a time to panic and think we need to change everything and change loads of stuff.
01:14We just need to, you know, a few fine details I think will help us.
