Does KSB not like passing the ball?

It's hard to comprehend how some of these kids are still on the pitch 

[Ivan]

3 changes, Ciccarelli, Costa, Cameron.

[dyslexic nam]

Just to clarify, this James Cameron is not the famous director of Titanic or Terminator.

Has Biello played a single progressive pass...

DR hasn't looked bad playing on it. 

[Shway]

Please someone, I need some kind of perspective.

WTF are we playing.  Why am I now seeing Costa in the RM position. We didn't see this formation for the senior side so why are we seeing this now.

Why is CDM/CM playing on the RM!? Did we not bring enough outside guys?

Bah, he couldnt move, too close...shouldnt be a penalty.

 

[dyslexic nam]

Never should that ever be considered.
I don't know why that took so long.

[Shway]

It was coming....subs came in with fire.

[imoffside]

lets goooo

[dyslexic nam]

Now:  FUCKING FOCUS! 

[dyslexic nam]

6 minutes.  Hmmm.  That seems a bit long.  

[solsous]

Why can't they close down on a shot around the 18????

There have been 6 minutes of stoppage in the last 10. I would have expected more.

[74 Whitecap]

Kind of an ugly win, but I'll definitely take it. I think DR used up all their luck on the last tournament in 2022.

[dyslexic nam]

Wasn’t the prettiest game but it gets really key points.  

[P-O]

We are so naive keeping 2 forwards & a wide open autoroute in the middle of the park while winning in extra time.

I hope these tactical adjustments will be done one day.

 

Once again a Forward to replace Lopez. Wow

[Mihairokov]

I'll take it but can't help but feel like we got lucky. Would have been down after the first half if not for Swiderski. We were a lot better in the second half and the subs did help despite the formation.

Basically my thoughts about it. With some luck Honduras vs Salvador will end in a way that would allow us to be first of our group with a tie and we'd have a fairly winnable match up to qualify for the U-20 world cup, which is by far the most important IMO even if a deeper run would be nice.

[Ivan]

Yes, lucky, but we were unlucky not to get 3 points last game.

[gator]

A nice win albeit sloppy as hell at times, as I posted earlier DR are much better than I expected after all this isn't baseball! I think our keeper was MOTM for me which is never good but we pulled it out! I agree with @Shway about the subs making us better and perhaps they have claimed a starting role because we certainly struggled to create much for a large part of the match!

[Kadenge]

Gotta feel bad for DR. They really played well and if not for our keeper would have scored multiple goals. We need to be much better. Honduras & DR outplayed us. We are lucky to have 4 points.
