Cheers. It does seem hard to know for sure where to put the blame. In the context of this game I think the players offered to extend the old deal for one more game to save some face though, right? Not sure if it would have made any actual difference since they wouldn't have played against Wales anyway though.
I'm watching the game right now and the players look surprisingly good so far. They let in a goal that was more or less impossible to defend for a futsal player, it was all about defensive organisation, but they look tidy on the ball otherwise and not a single one seems overawed by the occasion.
