Please don't call me dear, I am not that way inclined. And 'pom' is a term
reserved for Aussies, are you an Aussie?

I'm sure they are, but we are getting stronger and you cannot discount us.
I'd prefer us to do our talking on the pitch, I don't really go in for
wars of words. Germany are known for falling at the last hurdle and are
not the force they were.

Hopefully any mistakes would have been made in the qualifiers and we will
get stronger as the competition goes on. Should be a good tourny, bring it on.
