Point taken Pelerud in eight years has failed to find a player who can work in the mix and turn the ball and shoot in one fast ..smooth motion, as the annoucer is saying the Norge team is more skilled ..Pelerud has no excuse to not match up women to women after eight years...where has the development been ? Lang should be faster on the ball at feet..so should Sinclair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenfield Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Canada's best spell so far of the second half min 75 ... consisted to me of two throw-ins, and a decent cross taken by the keeper we hoof the ball upfield so fast when we finally get it, that there's no one there to get it except Norwegians.

Trillium Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Wilkinson in the 78th minute...wiffs a wide ball...sometimes our players seem to lack vision to see the help they have ..or maybe its that they dont trust....to pass ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trillium Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 well thats it...we sit back and get caught the norwegian pushes the ball in with her body ..and we did not have a defender in front of her... again a pretty fundamental breakdown ..in terms of marking on a set play....

The true, realistic, test is against Australia. I still think this team has the ability to play in the final. The players seem to have decent ambition, so I think this game was the real test. Lets hope it sparks a decent response. Foul by Norway, decent free kick taken by the keeper. min 88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trillium Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I will have to watch the game again ..but it really seems to be the same old same old in terms of tactics and success..our target players lack first touch to hold the long balls..too many balls are sent on a hail mary basis with out ...real tactile ..analyis of where to play the long ball..too..i would like to see Robinson start the next game wide on wing instead of Lang...let her attack defenders with speed and good ..foot skills. Bring Lang in as replacement for Sinclair if she fails to produce in the middle. I would argue..that the second goal...was a coaching failure why Matheson on the post ..at five foot nothing versus Lang brought back to take the pole on one side ...and another tall player on the other ....

Duane Rollins1555362254 Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Now I have to go and try to pull off a protest against the CSA! Wear black!! Look, I'll actually make the argument that we are in a better place than we were in '03. The Germany game was a real eye opener then. Today, we had moments against one of the powers of the women's game. Ghana shouldn't be a problem. It will come down to the game against Australia. That we only lost by one helps too. Hopefully, Norway can put a few past the Aussies and we can beat the Africans by more than three. Then, a tie will be enough. The quarter-final is the key game for us. Like '03, one win there and the tournament is a success. Lastly, I think the Olympics will be where this team has a real chance to go deep. They aren't quite there yet, in my opinion. A quarter-final berth would be a success here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenfield Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 CBC's coverage is good ... I really hope they put some effort into developing a Canadian commentator so we can be done with what seem to be old, English guys. They do a great job compared to Steve Armitage though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
