That's what is going to be on the front of one of the newspapers in the morning. That, or 'DISGRACE'.
And rightfully so. We were poor. Very poor. But why? It has to be something along the lines of pressure.
Think about it. We played incredibly well as a team, and gelled up until the point of arrival at the World Cup. Yes, these over-paid idiots should be prepared enough for the pressure, but what kind of an impact does a waiting nation and the impatient media have on them? It can be nothing but negative.
Having a reporter in your face the minute you go out for a training session. Having the WAGS splashed across every newspaper (thanks Mrs Heskey), even though Fabio told them where to shove it. It just seems like a massive over-reaction. Maybe we should let them get on with it in 2012 and 2014, and then go mental if we win the thing.
Some things need to change. Some don't. But the press need to get their heads out of a camp where they're not wanted.
