RS Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Stalteri rounds the keeper again, and then gets muscled off the ball in front of a wide open net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Corazzin with a great ball that is almost put into the net by a Cuban defender. Somehow McKenna can't get a foot on the rebound. This is unbelieveable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Cuban player with a horrendous playacting job after deflecting a Hume cross. He waited about a half a second to go down and now he's rolling around as if he had been shot. Should have been a yellow. 5 Minutes of injury time.

RS Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Cubans flopping all over the place now, much to the ire of the now much larger crowd. IT's just not meant to be for Canada tonight, I'm afraid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Final whistle. Cuba 2 Canada 0 I don't like Cuba's chances against Costa Rica on Wednesday, as the Ticos are sure to be fired up over this result, and Cuba hardly did anything to convince me that they can defeat CR. I'll give them credit where it's due, as they took full advantage of Canada's defensive miscues and buryed them. Still, one has to wonder what the scoreline woulld have looked like with a real striker up top and perhaps Menezes organizing the backline. No excuses, though, as Canada got what they deserved.

Guest Jeffery S. Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Thanks a lot Rudi, good work on the thread. As it stands if Costa Rica wins by 1, 2 or three we are out. Effectively Cuba can go through losing 3-0. Not too optimistic really, though at least the Cubans will want to avoid the States and may actually play for something. Though I think, as is, we are out, as I don't expect the Ticos to fail their next match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a great showing by Hume, who got a full second half to show what he can do for Canada at the right mid position. He acquitted himself very well, with intelligent runs down the flanks and some great probing crosses that really should have been buried by the Canadian frontrunners. Amidst all the negative in this game (and there's plenty to go round), Hume stands out as a very bright positive. Can't wait to see him and the U20s in UAE in November.

Duane Rollins1555362254 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Blah. I have NEVER felt worse about our Nats. I don't care how many chances we had in the last ten minutes, I don't care who we didn't have playing (injuries/unavailable players are a reality that you have deal with). I don't care about the excuses that are sure to follow this post. We just had our asses handed to us for 80 minutes by **CUBA**. Our MNT program is a bloody mess. Period. I HATE the fact I had to sign up for this forum. HATE. HATE. HATE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian B. Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I'm upset. No excuses are acceptable. We were playing one of the weakest Concacaf team. Not Brazil or France!!!!! The cuba defence was wide open...... I know that we beat Costa Rica (But luckily) I don't think that in the long run we can qualify for the WC right now. We can win a game in a while but we are not consistent enough. Radzinski might be the solution but I don't count on him to be with us in every game. Poor finishing. That our number 1 problem and our defense is not anymore what it's used to be. (Gold cup 2000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was begging to be shredded by some speed and overlapping play. BLOODY HELL. BLOODY, BLOODY, BLOODY HELL. "Minority of one" Precisely. I was screaming at the TV every time the back three booted another long ball up to McKenna, only to have a Cuban defender step up and head the ball clear. If it didn't work the first 50 times, why the hell did they thinkit would work the 51st time? This team needs to have players like Brennan and Menezes at the back, because hoofing the ball upfield Fenwick-style just ain't gonna cut it, as tonight's debacle showed.
