It's not so much the loss that hurts, but the lack of tooth in pretty much all departments. I don't expect this team to win anything - and that's where the problem is. We should have been better than this by now, but we effectively took a few steps backwards from the time we played in the '07 world cup. This team can't win s**t and I'm beginning to think we need a new coach after 2011.
I think we'll have to wait until a whole new generation of players show up to be able to hit the #5/#6 spot in the rankings. Maybe the twelve-year-olds of today will do it for us. This group is just bridging the gap between the past and the future.
