Coop's and Baygo Boy, allyuh wastin' allyuh breath. I see we have a whole lotta men on the forum here that could tallk football and talk rings around people, but still just don't get it. Our culture lacks so many components of fundamental football, work ethic, sacrifice and professionalism that a country like (piss-ass, if you believe some of the comments posted here) Vietnam has, that most of us wouldn't recognize if it hit us dead in our faces. We tend to focus on the means and overlook the end and vice-versa when it's convenient for us, much to the detriment of our overall view of this game we call football: e.g. we took our good result against Sweden and our not-so-bad results against England and Paraguay to feel that our football and our players are all now at a world class level. Not so. The wide gap in class, execution but firstly in fundamentals was still evident; A lot of us are going to get carried away with the fact that Master Roberts has scored in his debut in the dutch Leage and not be as concerned about the d-e-v-e-l-o-p-m-e-n-t of his game and sense of professionalism as a whole and how it will benefit himself and, subsequently, our country, in the long run. Whitley never really impressed me for what it takes to be a great player and I am therefore, not surprised at his failings in the far east or of the coach's brutal honesty........Nor am I bothered by it. I rather be told the truth, no matter how harsh it may be, that to be flattered and deceived. (As long as what I am being told is actually the truth, of course.) There are probably a host of people that are involved in T&T football at some level that are members of this forum, whether it be playing, coaching, or adminitrating. What are you guys doing to make sure that you yourself or your players don't get "dissed" like Whitley did?
