gator Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I am not real impressed with our play that half although in fairness DR are much better than I thought, they are putting lots of pressure on the ball and we aren't dealing with it well and losing many 1v1 battles! Each team came close to scoring, it's hard to say how the 2nd half is going to go and Lopez went from some questioning a senior call to being almost invisible!

We came on as the half went on, and DR couldn't sustain their press. But we looked a bit tired too, hopefully subs don't come too late in 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 No it a lot to get excited about there. Wasted a lot of possession and didn’t seem to have much fluidity in attack. I know these are still pretty much kids but considering we are playing a weaker opponent on a much better field I was hoping to see a bit more quality. rkomar, Ivan, 74 Whitecap and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are right to question that. Bison44 and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Spoiled by watching the senior team, I was expecting more UMPH!! out there. Not a lot of energy or direct play. Mb second half. Kadenge, Canuckia and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihairokov Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Team looks like they entered the match having already assumed the outcome. Poor giveaways and not enough effort. Formation isn't doing them much favour as Concepcion and Boatwright have far too much space wide in the attacking third. KSB looks tired, Biello is not involved enough. Have liked Dumitru when he's not tackling through people 74 Whitecap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueseeka Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Not a great half but they came on late Biello and Badwel looked great innfirst game and have struggled to get possession in this game Stewart looks jet lagged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 On 7/10/2024 at 7:44 PM, Olympique_de_Marseille said: Now that you mention that, it feels even crazier because the 21 player squad listed here: https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_at_the_2024_Summer_Olympics_–_Men's_team_squads actually has 3 guys born in 2005 or later, and so would be eligible for the CONCACAF U-20 tournament. I guess if you qualify for the Olympics, you need to bring your best, even if that means fielding a weaker U-20 team. ⬆️ 5 minutes ago, narduch said: Yes they are an improving nation in Concacaf.

Play Egypt tomorrow in Olympics after qualifying in last edition of u20. They outplayed El Salvador but missed penalty and then water logged pitch made any real play almost impossible.

I'm convinced this system/formation is stupid. We are playing with an inverted RM. Just watch where Theo is all the time. We play one way on one side and different on the next.
