...Japan, Croatia and ourselves shared the same zone and of the disparity that has occurred between the progress over the years since.
In '98 we lost to Croatia 1 - 3 after putting up a great attacking fight. We defeated Japan. The class team in our group was Argentina...and until one of our players lost his mental strength and deserted TEAM we were valiant and giving as good as we got.
Look at us now - Croatia is not at this World Cup...but look at her place on the FIFA ranking charts? ...Japan is at this World Cup living evidence to how her football has moved in 'lock set' with advances in the world game. Argentina is Argentina!
Have you really looked at how our collection of individuals attempt to play? It makes, when you consider our players talents...the talents of our players on the field, our stomachs churn!
Just these words to our players and local coaches, "It is the ball stupid" and "TEAM"!
