I'm not really fond of Shakib telling fans to "tone down" their dreams and aspirations. Believing that you can win the World Cup is the very first step in actually winning a World Cup.

The last para is sensible. Belief is the step to big achievements but we emotional fans need to be realistic. Lets face it - the cup wont stay at home and we need to accept that and move on..and hope we perform outstandingly anyway!
