i just curious.. what is allyuh expectations?
the team fight hard, and give sweat and blood.. we compensate for our inferior skill with superior fight.
we score a disallowed goal, when the man was offside on a technicality.
we rock up dey cross bar.. we test their keeper a few times well.. we bore dem to equalize and at that point was still pushing forward.
what more it is allyuh want again?
lawd i really feel i not from here dread. werent u one of them who was talking in disgust of the spanner hyland rest on gerrard but lost d ball or something like that?so we rock their post so what? thats what u all feeling proud of?. losing a game that we should of won? inferior skill? what game u was watching. u all are seeing ITaly and like a wild animal in a head light allyuh freeze. inferiority complex. that is a weak weak italian side who paraguay shoulda well brush up. expect egypt to boobolize them.
what i am gathering is the fact that u ask what was our expectations means yours for the team was very low. i expected this team to b in contention for the 2nd rounds and i said that b4 the tournament started. so 4 u the team is exceeding expectations 4 me they have underperformed badly. in that case i wouldnt spew flith on the board anymore, after all a mentality does not come over night.
BE CHAMPIONS ( insert sarcasm here)
when you compare player for player, and squad for squad the teams in our group.. Exactly what makes you
expect that we would make the second round?
I feel you under some illusions yes..
lemme tell you where i coming from.
the team cant exceed my expectations because i have none.. I
hope for the side to do some damage, just like I was hoping for good results at the world cup in germany. but at the same time i not so blind as not to see that our team is not on the level of the other teams in our group. Imo, for me to
expect anything more than the side to put its best foot forward is just fanatical delusion..
i vex we lose the game too... and especially under the circumstances where we were really in with a realistic chances of getting points from this game; and the manner in which we gave up the last goal. The references I made was just to highlight that we match them stride for stride. Where did I say I proud we hit post?
freaks, because we loss doesn't mean i can't see and applaud de fight.. I not in this business of fighting down my side at every opportunity. I will leave that for the other posters on this board who like to revel in negativity (by the way how come we never hear much from you guys when our team performs well??). I quite conscious of who we are and what we are capable of.
the boys played well.. and given that our players traditionally are generally outmatched at the youth level, but peak at comparatively later ages, their performance fills me with alot of hope and confidence for the future of football... and thats something I haven't been able to say for a looong time!
