Appreciate they're disappointed but having having accepted all the plaudits for getting there I think a bit more dignity could be shown after losing to a better team. See Wimbledon runners-up for instance.
Not harsh at all, in fact it is spot on.

Not an ounce of humility, it's petulance and arrogance.

Why should people feel proud of their achievements when none of them felt pride themselves.

I would feel embarrassed if I was their parent.
