[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 709563, member: 72205"] Different team I know but when we hosted in '91 we reached the final as an unfancied side. We did pretty well at the Olympics @ home with the medal haul. The last time the football team performed at a tournament was Euro '96 To me that's suggests it doesn't put undue pressure on the team and most thrive under it. But yeah loosing 2nd in Pool A is pretty much a death sentence almost certainly a path of SA, NZ, followed by whomever you lost to in group A, Ireland or France. I say one thing if the runner up of group A wins the entire thing and they do have to play that gaunlett of top sides nobody can argue whether they are deserved champions or not. [/QUOTE]
