Sometimes I does wonder about men in this forum and their convenient objectivity.
For the past month all we hearing is about the level of play from the national teams and PFL teams.
Most men admitting that the level is a notch or two below top internationals teams.
The NT coach make a statement that the PFL level is low and men take him to task for that, at the same time admitting that we know it low, but we had to keep it in context in terms of resources and culture, politics and whatnot....but is still not okay for the coach to tell it to us the way he did. Apparently now in this forum we could only accept criticism if it not harsh and worded kindly. Sometimes you can't only take the words at face value, you have to look at the deeper meaning too.
Now one ah we own forumites expressed his view having seen the game and men again take him to task for it.
Is it that we can't take negative criticism even when we know it to be the truth ?
The main point the man trying to make is that there was a clear distinction between the level of play from both sides. Yes, fortunately WConnection won the game, but the performance was below par for whatever reason.
So if we are to accept that goals win matches, and be naive about the quality of play during the game, then is best we forget about team building, grooming players, improving the PFL and NT, and all the talk we talking for the past month. Hell, we might as well stop training...all we have to do is show up for the game and let Lady Luck take over...mix that with some prayers to the Almighty (it cyah hurt) and we all set for 2010.
