The Ref Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Final was 11-1 for Canada naturally. I wonder if playing teams where you win by double digits is a strong enough preparation for the much tougher opposition in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should do wonders for the team and individual confidence. Plus the tough competition is coming. The next 3 games should be challenging enough (especially Brazil and US 20).

georg Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 No mercy Excerpt from the following: http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20070719/sports/sports1.html Over at the Zico Football Centre it was a tale of woe for an injury-ravaged Reggae Girlz team. Canada showed no mercy to the walking wounded and the game was over as a contest at half-time with the red-and white-clad Canadians up 7-0. Girlz coach Charles Edwards said his team came into the game with a lot of disadvantages. "At the start of the game we could hardly find 11 fit players. We had two thigh injuries that were strapped up and the players could barely move, while we had two players out there with flu," Edwards said. The coach added, however, that with all the problems Canada were not 11 goals better than Jamaica. "It could have been a lot less but I think the goalkeeper had a poor game in dropping a couple of balls that ended in the back of the net. All in all, the end result was a poor performance. I do not know the history, but in my recent time of listening and watching the Reggae Girlz this has got to be ranked as the worst ever defeat and it is a very disappointing moment for me coming here expecting a better performance." Christine Sinclair found the back of the net four times in the first half for Canada who were 8-0 up before Venecia Reid pulled a goal back in the 60th minute for the Reggae Girlz. Jamaica ended the preliminary round with four points from four games and are out of contention for a place in the semi-finals. and another point of view... http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/sports/html/20070718T230000-0500_125425_OBS_BOYZ_SHOCK_ARGENTINA_.asp .....It was, however, a different story for the depleted Reggae Girlz, who trailed 7-0 at half-time before suffering an 11-1 hiding by world No 8-ranked Canada at the Zico Football Centre. Christine Sinclair scored a four-timer (17th, 24th, 39th, 46th); Katie Thorlakson (61st and 84th) netted a brace, while there was a goal each for Kara Lang(49th), Andrea Neil(73rd), Kristine Kiss (32nd), Any Vermeulen (42nd) and Rhian Wilkenson(41st). This is the Reggae Girlz's biggest defeat at the international level in recent times as prior to yesterday's clash, Canada's best result against the Jamaicans was 3-0 at last year's CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup in Los Angeles. So dominant (58 to 42 per cent ball possession) were the Canadians that Jamaica's second-string goalkeeper Petrina Campbell had to cope with 21 shots on her goal, much like shooting practice. Jamaica, who were on the defensive for the better part of the game, created four chances of which Venecia Reid converted one in the 60th minute after Canada had already scored eight times. "On the starting XI today (yesterday) we had two (players) with thigh injuries that were strapped up and could barely move; we had two players out there with flu, and we had one player on the bench," a visibly disappointed coach Edwards told the Observer. "It was a very pathetic situation for us and very difficult," added the man who replaced Vin Blane as head coach in April. Nicola Bell and Diana Hue missed the match due to suspensions; captain Hishamar Falconer and Jody McGreggor struggled with flu-like symptoms, while Omalyn Davis (knee), Christina Murray (knee) and No 1 goalkeeper Paula Jackson (wrist) were ruled out due to injuries. The result means that Canada have moved into the last four, along with Brazil - who crushed Ecuador 10-0 at the Joao Havalange Stadium yesterday.

CanadasBest Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Poor Jamaican Keeper: Goals at: Min 39, 41, 42, 46, and 49. 5 Goals in 10 minutes. Not bad. Brazil is going to be no push-over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
