Thanks for the head's up, and that is a good match tracker. I see Lang has been subbed out at the half, either Bridge is angry with her play or she has a knock or injury, as that is an odd move when down a goal with one player more. Canada seems to have pressed since the US are down to 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jeffery S. Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Bull. We see that the US did all their changes early in the half, had fresh legs, while we have just made one and our advantage of an extra player has diminished as the half has worn on. Very typical subbing by Canadian coaches: leave everyone on to the end and sub as little as possible. Even in friendlies. Never sub with tactics in mind, either. Holger was poor in this regard, Yallop too, and it seems to wear off on the rest of the coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ref Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 I have to stop and start taking note on some of the criticism coach Bridge has been getting. Surely we did not get embarrased by the U.S. but we still lost after going ahead and having numerical advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Lang was subbed against Jamaica too when it was only 2-1 for us. Bridge sais that we were not playimg to our full potential who job is it to make sure or find out why we were not playing at our full potential? poor tactics is what holding our teams back not the players we were lucky against Mexico. is bridge still evaluating his players? Put Lang on any other team is the world she would be a starter upfront all the time and that even at the senior level. looks like our national either coach does not know evaluate quality players or does not know how to use them to their full potential and one wonders why so many are missed and end up being picked up by other countries.

Lynxster Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Lang was subbed at halftime, cause she had to catch a flight back to L.A. Has an important exam to write tomorrow and there was no later flight. She suffered with Salmonella poisoning (they think?) during the Jamaican and Mexican games. Alot of the team were not feeling 100% the last few days. Congrats to the team on qualifying for Russia. Lot's of work to do in the upcoming 6 months.

sj Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 poisoning seems to be the latest excuse of choice remember the boys u-17 game against Mexico and what was the reason we lost against them in victoria ? what we are seeing is team below us in this region are catching up to us at a faster pace and teams that are already ahead of us are widening the gap. what are the differences in programs that allow those other teams to improve at such a faster pace. when you get score upon twice in the last 20 mins of a game by a team playing a player short either that team is light yrs ahead of us or the tactics use by our coach was amateur.

Earlier you said Mexico were more skilled than us, and we beat them 3-2. Now the US (one of the top teams in the world) beats us 3-2, and they are light years ahead of us or our tactics were amateur. So, by your "logic" (assuming you saw the game since you are able to make these comments) we are light years ahead of Mexico? Another with some sort of axe to grind. Why can we not just congratulate the girls for reaching the U20 World Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 the USA scored two goals in a ten minutes span the 74th and the 84th minutes and that with one player short either we had a complete meltdown or the American team are just way too strong. the girls did great and its more of a tribute to them that they are going to Russia. my concerns are,are they being given the proper training and coaches to reach their best which obviously they were not in Mexico. with their raw talent they are still good enough to compete at this level for now but unless they get quality not just quantity preparation it wont be too long before before we a start to play catch up to teams in this region like the men's team. most of this team has been playing together for more than 3 yrs. some are even starters at the senoir level with that kind of experience they should have own that regional tournament. they were not comfortable against Mexico and so against Jamaica. both games could have gone either way Jamaica could have tie it late in the game the goal that Lang scored was the difference against Mexico and it was a great individual effort still we did not do much for the next 45 mins. now that the girls has earn the right to play in Russia it is up to our national association to make sure that the girls gets quality training to be at their possible best comes kick off time in Russia for sure Mexico and the States will get better by then and if we want to be better than them we must give them the best training and support which we fail to do in Thailand and for the boy's u-20 in Holland. where we had the poorest show of all the concacaf teams involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sj Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Bridge was simply outcoached in the US game. one lone striker means damage control the US even after they went down to ten never resorted to such tactics they still left 2 upfront that is why they won the game and the reason why they have become a powerhouse at all level in this region.

Ivan Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 how do you know we were outcoached did you see the game we were not the worst concacaf team at the U20 honduras got smoked every game they played so who do you suggest take over the program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Sophie schmidt, Kara Lang,Veronique maranda,Amanda chiccini,Aysha Jamani,Emilly Zurrer, that half of the senoir team right there. Zurrer was only brought in the game at 90th mins. with that kind of experienced players did we really had to play a 4-5-1 formation with only Robinson as striker when we have proven strikers at the highest level in Lang and Jamani. Jurrer was always standout in defense playing for Canada why was she reduced to bench warmer in that game. we have more than enough fire power upfront to play a 4-4-2 formation with a player of the quality of Chiccini in midfield we did not need to sacrifice a striker. the US played a 4-4-2 formation and 4-3-2 when they play one short. they still stick to their two strikers to keep our defense busy. with Robinson as our lone striker their defense had all the freedom to joined in the midfield and outnumbered us in that department thus defeating the purpose of the Bridge's desperate 4-5-1 formation . AS for the program the CSA is doing a better job of providing training camps and exhibition games for those teams. the effectiveness and efficiency of those depends was being taught and executed in those camps.
