Look at the score from the Germany- Saudi Arabia game. Men behaving like we accustom being at the Wc and we lapsing. Is we first time don't expect miracles, because we had our miracle already by qualifying. Remember the story of "The Dog and The Bone."
So just becasue we reach we have tuh have fun ... dat is tata ... so settle for mediocraty ...just beacuse we reach we must use that as an excuse to not push ourselves to a higher level ... just becasue we reach we must accept that this is the best we can do and curl up in a ball like timid kittens ... an just beacues we reach we should let the players get away with being on vacation ... if it was just enought to qualify we should ahve taken a team made up of intercol players so they will get the experince and strive for better ...
Hey...read what I say and don't turn it around. I am not saying that we should just relax and site see. But we have to know where we are and cannot expect to be a World dominant football nation just like that. If you have been reading you will see that I have asked questions of the team. But I am also realistic in what we can actually do and not what I HOPE or WISH we could do.
By claiming the miricle is in qualifying does a great dis service to the team ... i am also advocating realistic expectations ...but not at the expense of hard work that got us here ... miricles my arse ... hard work got us here and it is harder work that will take us further ... and just like other world class teams ...ours has to enjoy the victories and endure the pressure from fans and press when we get licks ... this is not a time to let up in anyways ... bu to keep the pressure on and really shake out the team ... if u want to win you have to sweat blood, be very disiplined and take stick, learn from it, and go do better ... this talk about icing on the cake is a draw or win at the WC is utter nonsense ...the work now start
