THE ROAD TO SUCCESS

With failure to qualify for Russia 2018, is The Technical Master Plan still on track and is the vision 2022 still a vision or just a dream?

If Russia was the final destination one would have to say the plan has failed, however Qatar 2022 has always been the final destination. Under the guidance of Stuart Baxter there are signs of growth and a style of play is starting to develop that a nation can be proud of but he will need time to instill this style of play into the players.
