Guest speedmonk42 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I say send a message. You dive against us and grab your face in pain, you are going to pay for it very seriously by not playing for a year. Lenarduzzi should have sent someone out to take out that El Salvador player at Swangaurd years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The team is out of sync & aren't matching the fire of SA for this game. However, given the officiating I think the 2nd half plan should simply be to dive on the box as much as possible. If we care about a result, that is.

Tyson M Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 de jong has to be coming on now with the weak play on the left! btw, although that PK was a bad call i think they should've got one earlier in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeta Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Ahhhh. OOH, I love this commercial. Anyway, well. I guess we'll get a look at what Mitch has to bring out of the locker room. RSA wants this match, that's clear. Don't know who's off more, Simpson or Diesel. Whole side is a bit dis-jointed. Look great for 60 seconds at a time against a team which is very, very, beatable but then everybody goes back to seperate pages in the play book. Piss and a beer time. This may be a good thing. Get to see if Mitch can rally an adjustment out of the lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Penalty or not. 60 caps or not, Stalteri is not a captain. No leadership whatsoever crying to the ref. He was an inch from a red. What is this ****? Mitchell better show some management here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't think it should have been a penalty, but the guy did smack his head pretty hard on the ground on the fall so I am not sure that the face grabbing was simulation. In any event, I don't thik 2-nil down is particularly unfair to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyola Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I'm not sure it was a PK but it was stupid defending by Stalteri, running at someone like that who's in the box and going in the opposite direction. PLaying Hume as a lone stiker up front is something I can't agree with, play Occean over there. Hume needs to be pair with another striker in a 4-4-2. We have no real target up front. The only player who's playing well is Radz IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 When you're losing, blame the ref it seems. Like the WNT where it's all the coach's fault and the players are blameless for poor performances. Canada is being outplayed all over the park in Durban. We can only hope for a big improvement in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a fair scoreline as far as I'm concern, we aren't playing well at all and our defense is looking shacky once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the players should start making the divers pay. The refs just can't call it, it's not possible. That is unless FIFA grows the balls the Scottish FA has and go after them retroactively. Then it could change in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 This is dreadfully poor stuff from our tema! We are second to almost every ball and seem to be clueless when we do get into good positions! McKenna was terrible the way he turned away from the faked shot on the first goal! Stalteri has looked slow and out of sorts, you can tell he's not playing at Spurs! Also, although that was a brutal penalty call, as team captain you have to be able to control your emotions, he should have been sent off and that really would have killed this game! In saying all this I still hold out hope with Mitchell being the brilliant tactician he is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niagara Hammer Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 They would have to be able to reach the box to dive in it. The mid field is not playing up to snuff. Long passes to the keeper not the striker. except for a 4 minute period ending at 36' the play was below par. SA is attacking keep the defenders on their back foot. I hope Mitchel has a good fire and brimstone speech for half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Radz a lot but I think de Guzman is the only I guy I can trust for Canada not to just give the ball away or make a stupid play - you can really tell the quality he plays with, it's so obvious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
