So, yeah, I don't know about you, but it does that there is kind of almost a looming disappointment about the way that not just, you know, the way the match played out that forced the Socceroos hands to leave this tournament, but also just kind of the way the tournament played out as a whole after such a good start against Turkey.

Yeah, absolutely.

And I think that that's the contrast compared to 2022, is that I think if you compare the two World Cups, because it's important to remember the end of 2022 compared to where we're at now, they feel vastly different.

If you actually look at them, we're like, well, we got out of the group on both.

So kind of on paper, maybe there shouldn't be much of a difference.

But I think there is.

And I think the comparisons are that, like you said, so we already got out of the group in 2022 and I think the way that that tournament went how it started off quite poor with France and then the fight back so after kind of having our backs against the wall it was what we hear so much where it's that Australian spirit and things like that and we got out of the group and we gave it a decent crack against Argentina and then Going into this tournament, I feel where the differences are is that, you know, most football fans in this country knew.

So it would've been absolutely astonishing for me had Salah not lined up.

Um, and to be honest, I think the, the Australian coaching staff probably would've been in the same mindset.

Um, I, I believe that, you know, they probably would've had a game plan with and without Salah, you know-

And then Haaland's was just a great, great piece of team play, so.

Absolutely.

And, and I think when...
