Now they have to put their heads down and play as a team… Parreira said it right:
“We know the World Cup is a treacherous competition. There are just seven games, it’s knockout from the fourth game onwards and the technically weaker teams can spring surprises. We have to treat each game as a final and give each opponent our full respect, otherwise anybody could surprise us. We don’t allow negative thoughts anywhere near us. Nobody is prepared for a defeat, we are prepared to win.”
