Never at a World Cup have the coaches attracted so much media attention. And often times for the wrong reasons. Two cases in point are Brazil’s Dunga and France’s Raymond Domenech, whose arrogance and hostility toward members of the press and fellow managers, respectively, have been met with harsh criticism from fans and the media alike.
Their attitude has been considered by many as uncalled-for.
The adjective uncalled-for is used to refer to behavior or attitude that we believe is inappropriate, offensive or insulting. A rude comment, unfair treatment or an angry attitude that we believe is gratuitous and unnecessary are all examples of behavior that is considered uncalled-for.
Therefore, one can say that Dunga’s swearing under his breath at a post-match press conference was uncalled-for. Domenech’s refusal to shake hands with the World Cup champion coach, Parreira, was equally uncalled-for.
Watch this scene from Two And a Half Men and decide whether Charlie’s attitude at 00:35 is uncalled-for.
That’s it!
