Seriously, dude felt angered and harshly treated over THAT of all team talks? Why do I get the feeling that the team talks are essentially random and don't mean much?

It could be "Win one for the fans" is a much more cynical talk than you're making it out to be. Maybe it's more like "you guys have quit on me so save yourself SOME dignity and at least try to win one for the fans." I've found several things in team talks, media interaction, etc. to be that way -- probably a UK vs. US English thing.

Or it could be the match was a friendly -- players don't generally like being told to go all out for a friendly.
