Weight of expectation is very true. Israel 2 years ago was different as we had games in the bag had that gone wrong.
Romania and the Blackpool play off final are the 2 games I’ve very nearly shed a tear.

Some poor little lad about 8/9 was crying his eyes out at the final whistle hugging his dad. Like so many generations before him.

Israel we were flying and team still weren’t paying us the respect we deserved.

Now we do get more respect it’s created a different problem on we find it hard to break teams down.
