Y’all are crazy watching a youth soccer away game against st kitts and expecting something cool. Anyone who cancelled their afternoon plans to watch paint dry so they could catch this game is crazy

The one thing I will say in our guys’ defence is that SKN is really packing guys behind the ball.  Not even just in their own half - most times there isn’t a player more than 30 yards from their one goal.  It is tough to get thought that sort of clogged area.

Emoting a bit here... indulge me please-  love soccer and hockey equally 

Every Christmas season the U20 hockey is played  for the WC and like clockwork, the narrative of the newly formed team is unity- players that compete against one another are together in the proverbial boat once this tourney begins

Footy- not so much- so I wonder if it is endemic in the nature of the 2 sports as the footy players are looking to grow themselves professionally anywhere in the globe whilst the hockey players have only an NHL path to succeed - or the, ahem, culture within the teams/sports

[canuckgbp]

[Soccerpro2]

So what’s the take on the team?

Is it purely down to bad coaching and tactics? Or are many of our players just not that good?

[toontownman]

10 in 30 minutes. We got time.
