Six (6) Years Ago

[Savant]

Just to put things into prospective, if you were to ask yourself in the summer of 2002 (after the World Cup) how you would feel about our team tying Argentina at home.

I don't think I'd feel nearly as satisfied about that scoreline then as I do now. I know we don't have the most talented players in the world, but I don't see our current coach getting the most out of our players.

Argentina didn't exactly light it up in WC2002.

If you would've asked me six years ago if I thought we would be where we are now...

...we have more players in Europe.
...we have a much deeper player pool.
...we struggle to put away much weaker opponents.

...I would have thought that 1 and 2 were true. I would have also thought that 1 and 2 becoming true would result in us playing better soccer. :o
