Wow factor.
Do you wish you could play?
Yeah, times like this it hurts a little bit.

Welcome to the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, Peter McDowall here,
alongside Jason McAteer and John Aldridge as we look forward and get to grips
a little bit with the nervousness that I think has embraced us all
over the last couple of days. The waiting, Aldo, is almost over.
It is, you're looking forward to it, but now it's starting to kick in.
You come here, look at the lads on the pitch,
and tomorrow morning, then it really kicks in.
John said, I think when you come to the ground and you smell the grass,
you see the lads, and all of a sudden that game mentality -
certainly for me, I'm sure Aldo as well -
the game mentality kicks in. And this is the bit that, as a player, I hated.
I hated the build-up, I just wanted to get on the pitch, it's, like, the wait.
You can smell it, you can feel it, it's there, and the anticipation of wanting to do it.
When you come on the pitch now, you're excited.
APPLAUSE
Yes!
Yeah!
