The Beaver 2.0 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Guys, stop thinking we are even close to being the finished product. Young team with a brand new manager, totally new CB pairing, no more Atiba...Why are we expecting to be world beaters when our program has only just started showing signs of quality? We need many more games like this. Maybe not in the heat, but real battles that test us, force us to grow, force us to learn about ourselves. We started out better in the second half, perhaps because we shored up the center of the pitch by moving Kone out. Oso, old legs and all, was solid. And it gave Staq the support he needs to run things. Stag played a monster of a second half. Keep in mind this is a guy who has not had a ton of playing time for most of the past season. Still a fuck ton to learn. Bombito is growing but is still super naive in a lot of ways. Kone has to take his game up a notch. He's capable of it. But this team needs more experience, plain and simple. Oso and David and Staq played with the most composure as the game got a bit loopy at the end. Crepeau is the man! The Man! L'homme! We're okay without Borjan (but thankyou for your service.) David is probably our smartest player. What a finish! Shaff was incredible.

spitfire Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) In the end I really think the heat did us in the first half we came out strong in the first 20 mins and then we just dropped off. The heat killed the legs in the midfield... So honest hand up changes needed to be made and JM had the balls to do them. Right changes. Shaff and OSO did really well. Tami looked promising... what a finish for David Edited June 26 by spitfire kingvikingstad, jonovision, GasPed and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Peru beat up Argentina last day or something weird. If Argentina win tonight you can be assured a very different starting 11 in the final game for Argentina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that's just... wrong. We didn't play well. But it was close. It was tied for like 60 minutes before the card lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's actually no proper term for "diver" in Spanish, funnily enough. Just the gesture or the noun, "piscinazo" to jump in a pool. They didn't actually dive that much and this game was far less of a shit show than their first against Chile. An Observer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
