Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 4454894, member: 523"] Euro prime, SA prime. Not US prime. There are still 2026 spots for younger guys that didn't play or make the squad. I see the age breakdown as a plus and is one of the things GG got right. They met expectations though they did it the hard way. Needing a point vs England and holding off Iran until the final whistle was not how anyone would have mapped it out. Maybe avoided disappointment is more accurate given how pathetic the attack was, though the defense as weak as it was held up until they found a well-organized and disciplined Dutch side. England could have done similar, but I feel they had too many options and were a bit afraid to lose. Absolutely need someone to be the talisman on the field and not just in social media promos. Relying on anyone on any day didn't work. [/QUOTE]
