“As the Argentina squad drove sadly away from the stadium in Rosario on Saturday night there were no protests from the supporters who were still milling around. Despite the 3-1 defeat by Brazil there was applause and shouts of encouragement. So much for the team bus, but what about the coach?

How much responsibility should the little man bear for his team’s current plight?” (BBC – Tim Vlickery)
