coz if you read my post above yours, you'll see the mentality and game plan branko is often fond of , is to be cautious, restrict damage and generally , play an ultra-defensive game.
like having many players with defenseive duties than offense.
and the team's center of gravity way towards defense .
now, with such mentality, game-plan and player selection, how do you think we can expect to score against teams like protugal?
hell, if we meant to defeat teams like portugal, branko wouldnt be running away from meeting bigger teams for friendlies.
he wouldnt be applying ultradefensive methods against teams like panama, lybia, macedonia, korea's B team .... !
how will playing such defensive and frightened games, help us in conquering teams like portugal , who eat our friendliy opponents for breakfast ?
let me put it this way:
if we are planning to improve driving ability, you dont waste your time practicing cycling!
and if for more than a year , you have been practicing cycling, .... no matter what u say & claim ( to feed some teenagers ) , when the time comes, your driving wont be worth sh*t !
