Then everyone abandoned the plan, arrogance kicked in, people bombed up and started going for glory, and that was that. Little bit of a disservice to Jamaica. They saw their weakness and one of ours they could exploit (not enough options in midfield). They made a sub and attacked that.

A little perhaps, but up 3-1 in aggregate going into the 2nd half and playing at home that collapse was a tactical failure. There should have been an adjustment for the start of the 2nd. Jamaica has quality up front but that still doesn't excuse how Biello approached the 2nd half. gkhs, WestHamCanadianinOxford, Sal333 and 11 others 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One does not exclude the other, we could have made our own adjustments. My point was: it was not just us being arrogant. Ours to lose but they did things to win it.

They brought into midfield an extra player who began blowing things up (Lowe) and the coaching staff dithered on the tactical adjustments needed to deal with it, which is why I am leery about how the game management decisions may look in this one.

I agree. My orginal point was about giving them credit for their changes. We would have deserved the same credit if we had adjusted as well. We didn't.

dyslexic nam Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Just found out that my bro is throwing his wife a bday party that absolutely conflicts with this game.

I am going to be at a Mean Girls live musical in downtown San Jose from about HT of this game onwards. I'm going to need text updates from my friends. I dragged my wife to Qatar. Then we went to Taylor Swift. Then we went to nations league finals. I guess this is the natural escalation if I want to go to WC2026.

Sometimes it is also better to not even share your emotional engagement with the sport, it really does not benefit anything. Recently I asked my wife why she was so interested in the scandals with the Spanish women's team but had never cared to see them play or paid a dime to support them? And the result was we went to a good women's game, in a packed stadium, but only because I shamed her into it. When I met my wife, from a family of guys all hardcore Barcelona fans, I asked her to name one player, and she said Pirri, who played for Real Madrid in the 60s and 70s. I was shocked, then she explained: when she was a kid her neighbour had a big dog named Pirri and she used to ride it. That's what we deal with.

She'll come to the big games, but has had no interest in vacations that revolve around soccer so If if I can slip out for cheeky weekend away trip, then we are both happy. Although she is open to the Vancouver group stage games and has already committed to Spain.Portugal, Morocco 2030! I think she's coming around.😃 Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
