red card Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) First point at u20 World Cup since the 2014 edition hosted by Canada. France was there for the taking as their performance showed they were missing 7 of their first line players. But Canada was undone by bad first touches and lackadaisical play by keeper and central backs. Markensini scored a goal but was the culprit twice in the run of the play in France's second goal. Not entirely new as this group did give up quite a few goals to the 3 top teams in qualifying and in spring friendlies. And as in qualifying, midfield was largely absent and too often passed back rather than take advantage of transition opportunities. Bright spot was two golazos by Nyah Rose (Jade Rose sister) and Annabelle Chukwu. Allen had some moments while Smith wasn't as involved but did get an assist. It is the first FIFA tourney with Football Video Support (FVS). They did have a test run in a Swiss youth tourney earlier this year. All the Canada/France challenges failed while if this was VAR calling the official over, I would say France's second goal would have been called off and Canada would have gotten a penalty.

red card Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) Looking at FVS a bit more, it could be the ideal system for CPL/NSL as FIFA views it as simplified and lower cost alternative to VAR. It isn't a VAR replacement. VS does not use dedicated refs but needs an on-pitch review operator. The onus falls on the 2 managers to make 2 review requests per match by twirling their finger and giving a review request card to the fourth official. If the original decision is changed, the team retains the number of requests. Extra time matches provide an additional review request. Players are also entitled to ask their manager to make a review request which was the case for the first France challenge. Requests are for obvious errors such as goal/no goal, penalty/no penalty, direct red card or mistaken identity. The fourth official will inform the referee of the review request and, if play has stopped or ball is in neutral zone since the incident, the referee will go to the referee review area (RRA). After a goal has been scored, the fourth official will also check the footage on the monitor and inform the referee if a clear and obvious offence was committed by the attacking team. Unless the decision is factual, the referee will then review the incident and make the final decision. This happened in Colombia v Australia as a foul in the build up cancelled a Matildas goal. In the Swiss youth tourney trial, one set up used 3 human-operated cameras. Another set up had 7 automated cameras.

I think it's probably wiser to rest the top players and bring them in past the 75th minute mark.

Kent Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 After each team has played 1 game, Fiji is bottom of tournament. If they are as bad as one would presume and as the Brazil scoreline seems to imply, that gives Canada a great chance to advance out of the group stage. If we can similarly win by a big margin we will be looking at at least 4 points with a healthy goal difference. That would likely be good enough for one of the 4 best 3rd place finishers at a minimum. So hopefully we can go out there and take care of business tonight.

Kent Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 For anyone wondering, goal difference doesn't matter for placing vs Brazil, but it will come into play for tie breaking between France and Canada if Canada loses to Brazil (with the safe assumption that France beats Fiji). Presumably we've already done enough for winning a tie breaker for best 3rd place finishers, provided we don't suffer a heavy loss to Brazil (which I guess is possible, with France losing by 3 to them).
