Think you guys have been drinking Steve Sumner's Kool-Aid.
Not sure where people get the idea that all we need to do is "get the ball down and play" and we'll be competitive. If we'd tried to knock the ball around against Mexico it would have been worse.
They're just light years ahead of us, and we were poor defensively. This year's back three (Smith, Dura, Ivan) is light years away from 2009's (Smith, Nelsen, Winston) and the wide defenders (Leo and Lochhead) are four years older and neither of them are playing regularly.
We just aren't good enough.
But the tactics were the right ones: park the bus, look to counter, don't leave space in behind.
Not sure how you can argue tactics were the right ones when the personnel clearly weren't the right ones for those tactics.
Not just that Mexico are 'light years ahead of us' - some of our players on the pitch today were really poor.
