No really, did they miss out on some sort of technicality? I remember reading an article that the number of teams in each group are uneven so they're determining the qualifying using some arbitrary formula.
They thought that a draw would be enough to see them through so played for the draw only for someone to win and go above them.

Well then they should learn to bloody well count! Frankly I don't buy this playing for a draw nonsense - you should always go for the win because either way the other team will make you work.

Also, it serves them right for doing a stupid little dance routine.
