Missing In Action: Guts and Character

I recently moved to Canada, so I was unable to see Wednesday night's football debacle. However, I did follow it via the BBC Web site.

How is it that a team, which is representing its country, plays with so little commitment, conviction or character, whilst my local ice hockey team - average age: 17 - displays so much effort in every game?

The New Hamburg Firebirds play twice a week - often on consecutive days - and yet I have never seen them deliver anything less than a whole-hearted performance.

What is it that teenage schoolboys know about teamwork that pampered multimillionaires don't?
