00:07tried to change the mindset from the start. We tried to be more honest about
00:13where we were as a football nation. You know I've traveled to World Cups,
00:18European Championships watching as an observer and watched highlights reels
00:25before the matches that are on the big screens and we weren't in any of them.

00:37change that. We had high expectations but they didn't match where we were
00:42performance-wise. Now the high expectations are still there but we
00:48have had consistent performances over you know certainly three of the last
00:53four tournaments, the quarterfinal as well in the fourth. So we've come through
00:58a lot of big nights now. You know a lot of records that we've broken but we we
01:04know in the end we have to we have to do this one. We have to get this trophy to
01:10really feel the respect of the rest of the football world I guess.
