Westy Love that the Loopmeister is so pumped up for this!!!
When my national side has been uber shit for so long, it’s hard not to be excited. We didn’t even score the last time around in 1986 and lost all three matches. I don’t think the likelihood of that happening again is high based on the speed and talent we have now.
Very few teams have managed to shut down our speed and attacks. It’s our defending that concerns me the most against the likes of Croatia and Belgium. I did say way back that I think we’ll get out of our group and remain hopeful, but if we do so it will be by just scraping through.
By all accounts we should be ranked higher than the US and Mexico based upon our performance against them, but FIFA rankings don’t work that way.
