Inspiring youth of future generations and "pedigree" are two different things.
Girly - stop, lol. Iran hasn't got out of group stages because they haven't had good enough squads. Quality of players and quality of coaching staff are what determines the quality and success of the team, not some magical pedigree. I think you're confusing "expectations" with pedigree.
Brazil have expectations as a nation. Canada have expectations in hockey. We have the success because we have the Sidney Crosby's and Jarome Iginlas, not because we won the summit series back in the 70s.
