We may do well to recalibrate our hope for national team. No team has God-given rights to win every single time they play and no team can do much against bigger, better team every time. We keep sky high every time we play, wishing for the magic of some so-called individually gifted players only to get disappointed at the end. So re-evaluating the strength of our team and realigning our expectation will go us world of good and the team. At least the poor boys will have some pressure off their shoulders.
