Look at what GirlySports said. There is the belief that we are not qualifying due to our reluctance to reduce our sportsmanship and this is an issue that needs to be tackled. If you then focus on tackling this issue you can quite easily begin to lose your focus on the important issues, i.e. player development. In Canada, there has been a lack of focus on the core issues.
As such, I strongly believe we need to ignore the smaller issues that become irrelevant once you fix the larger and more pressing issues. For example, their propensity for time wasting becomes irrelevant when you have enough skill to take the lead early.
