Quote:We are Australia. We are proud of our football - but we must remember our place. We are the scrappers, the underdogs, the team with the heart of a lion. But we are not a big-time team yet, and nor should we expect to be for some time. A brilliant analysis. Couldn't have put it any better myself. I definitely think that expecations are too high at the moment. I think it's also worth mentioning that at the last world cup we only managed to win one game (I know we should have won against Croatia, but that's not the point) I am hoping that Australia do well in the world cup, but I won't be too dissapointed if we bow out at the group stage. C'mon, there are plenty of nations who would love to just make the world cup finals, let alone win any games. To even qualify is a massive achievement which I think we should all be proud of. What do you think about the FourFourTwo blog Managing Expectations?
If, like myself, you find yourself in the vicinity of the modern corporate workplace where bureaucracy, politicking, and corporate doublespeak are more important than getting things done, you ...Have your say. Edited by Dugongs: 27/5/2010 09:02:12 AM
