Post-match: USA v Belgium knockout game

Then the boys are not mentally strong enough to break into the elite level.

 

Must be pretty frustrating for Poch. After watching Argentina in the knockouts, regardless of what else you think of them, those guys just have this mental fortitude that is off the charts.

 

I wonder if there is any chance Poch might coach Argentina sometime in the future.
Would we want Scaloni? I wonder how much he would cost, assuming he would even come.

 

Oh, look. The UK government is clamoring to FIFA to investigate Argentina over a banner. Surely UEFA and the Belgian FA will come to protest the intereference by government officials "to protect the game" no?

 

They also aren't good enough in other ways.

 

As I pointed out several times, top coaches in other sports are concerned about distractions on their mentally strong elite athletes.

If they thought normally mentally strong athletes could ignore all distractions, they wouldn't mention it…
