After Italy lost to South Korea, the South Korean striker who scored against Italy was fired by his Italian club team Perugia, an act that Dr Szreter called "extraordinarily infantile".
The English, with their lower expectations, have so far been graceful in defeat, consoling themselves with the thought "we did not do badly," and, with such a young side, hoping that in four years time, England will be as mature and formidable a team as Brazil is now.

well, i believe that you play to win, and that anything else is a failure. lowering expectations will get you nowhere, not now, and not in 4 years time. thats why they havent won the WC since '66.
