[quote=Anonymous]I agree with a lot of what has already been said about coaching quality, sport is not the top sport, scale of country, emphasis on winning, money grabbing culture etc. But what I can add to this is that we need better leadership in our country with respect to governing the sport. We have let politics and connections take over and it is killing the game. There are politics in every sport but because soccer is a sport for the wealthy here, the politics are on steroids because more people of influence have a say. Soccer also isn't a true meritocracy in our country. You can be average but get opportunities because you're connected. Unless this changes, we will always have subpar national teams because the true best players aren't ALL on the field. [/quote]
