00:15This week's been top and it's been top since I've just loved every moment of it
00:19because they train, they work, they show up and have that is like amazing, you know what I mean?
00:26It's like I don't have to, that today weren't good enough, no we need to be sharper today, never once had to.
00:32So they give you energy, do you understand what I mean?
00:35It's like, and whatever will be, like it rolls on if we go past, but it's going to happen.
00:44Do I live in fear of it? Not at all, not at all. I don't live that way.
00:49This game is like, I think I've had so much setbacks in my life, it's okay.
00:55I'm still here. And I'm actually, I just had the best year of my life and, you know, it's like, this has been the best.
01:03How did I get that to 45? What have I been waiting for?
01:07But at the same time, it's like, I don't know what's on the corner.

01:26Yeah, I feel like we've definitely played against each other a lot in the last few years, but it's always a tough game.
01:38You know, Belgium have got a lot of quality in their team and have always made it difficult for us.
01:43But like, we have to look at the past games we've played to take some confidence from it.
01:47But we know how big a task it is in front of us, but we have to face it head on.
01:52Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head there.
01:54They have a lot of very good individuals that on their day are playing at top, top level in world football.
02:03So, look, we know what we're up against.
02:06We know the individual qualities they have if we aren't on top of our game.
02:09But for us, we have to go out there with full confidence, hoping we can get the job done.
