Being Portuguese...

So today I got a break from my thoughts about an hour and a half. The Portugal vs Albania was on. The thing is despite the last minute victory, and the suffering, and everything, I need to say something. Football is one of the modern ways of clashes between countries, we have evolve from war, or at least we like to think so. But we still have the need to protect our colors and be proud of our roots, defend them... As such I want to say that I am behind Portugal regardless, however I don't support all Portuguese people, people are different, that is a simple and universal statement... As such we might disagree about the best way to bring Portugal forward. This is the thing, for me the coach of Portugal, despite being a smart, intelligent professor is not the best coach, I can't imagine this guy passing passion to is wife, let alone to a football team... Victory in war is based on strategy from the generals but also on the heart of the colonel, majors, sargents, lieutenant, etc. These officers need to pass the passion to the soldiers, since there is no victory without the confidence to win, even if unrealistic. This is the thing the current coach, is not a leader of men, he is a theoretic, a overviewer, a planner, but not a doer, a executor. This is a clear thing for anybody to see...
This is actually the same with the PM of the UK, Gordon brown is not a leader of people, and the thing is a leader should understand a it of everything, get advice from the best, but at the end of the day they need to find a way to pass the message to the people, and that by itself is a special skill. There is no shame in not being a leader of men, my question is why don't these smart people admit what they are, and use their skill set to help? I mean don't we all want the same thing? Or is their pride too big?
Well from my perspective they have no pride, because honestly if people don't want you why would you make a point to stay? To prove them wrong? Well if they are wrong if you leave that would be proven, seriously I have a issue with people clinging to power, simply don't get it... If you are smart you see the logic, so... Like someone said sometimes "no good can come of it", for my national team, we won but honestly with this coach, no good can come of it...

P.S.- If I am wrong I will gladly admit it, if not, well it doesn't leave this blog anyway. Like I said people are different, I guess that is the answer to all my questions :P
