Florinthian players Vincent Loumier (background) and Thomas Reidy (foreground) lament their teams performance against Mordvania as the final whistle blew.
Florinthus has been knocked out of the World Cup in Angiris after failing to win their first two matches in the group stage -- failing even to score a goal. This is considered by many to be the worst Florinthian team fielded at a World Cup in its history, and plenty of blame has gone all around.
Manager Owen Smitley, who was appointed following the resignation of Oslanburgan Alf Olhouser has taken the brunt of the criticism. His defensive-style tactics did not match well with the Florinthian talent pool, whose pace encourage a more free-flowing attack. His emphasis on role players as well put the squad in a tough position when a few injuries piled up. Main striker Frank Lewand fell to a twisted ankle in pre-tournament friendlies, and center defender Paul Lawrence went down in the first match against Arrenland.
The FA has not yet commented officially on the results, and many expect, as per custom, they will wait until the tournament is finished. There are rumors that Smitley may be retained, however, as he was given eight years to produce results and improvement from his crop of youngsters.
For now, the Manager said they were on to Sainam, their opponent in their final match. "We want to provide our fans with something to enjoy, even if our overall performance has left much to be desired" Smitley said. Only time will tell if he succeeds in that respect.
