Ellis has spoken much of the anxiety the team is feeling‚ and how they cannot wait for the football to begin. That they face daunting opposition in their group is no understatement‚ but the only way they can tackle what is before them is to embrace the challenge and face it head on. The buildup has been difficult for the side‚ perhaps a portent of what lies ahead‚ culminating in last Sunday’s 7-2 defeat to Norway in which they were 5-0 down at the break.
Saturday’s game against Spain will set the tone. A positive result and all things are possible‚ but a heavy defeat and they will be on the back foot.
