jpg75 Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Panama post again, this time off a FK. Then they sky the rebound over from 6 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklefan Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 No wonder Panama has only one goal so far. God, how did he miss that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj52 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Might be big coaching mistake bunkering. 16-17 kids should be attacking, not enough time together as a team to be playing like this. Panama could end up putting in a sitter yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panama could end up putting in a sitter yet. The changes made by Canada suggest me that the coach is trying to do things in attack. We changed a striker for a striker and then a mid for mid. The coach is trying to get fresh legs in attack but the team is not responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 87th minute. I'll guess 3 or 4 minutes added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Thank you Crepeau. Must say, Hamilton has done a decent job holding the ball up...conversely, Cain has been a turnover machine - both he and Nanco. That right side hasn't been good to us today.

canucklefan Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 We are lucky Panama doesn't know what a goal means because our defence looked very awful at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThiKu Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Well done by Panama. Typical latin-style possession. Showed our naivety I think. Because technically I think we're the equals to Panama...? The physical coordination and athleticism coupled with organization got Canada through this one. Well done guys!!!! Gonna have to have the front foot forward in the final though....likely v. USA...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklefan Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Boys must show more attitude and more ball possession against USA or Jamaica because they won't miss lots of chances like Panama did..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 The kids were exhausted and Panama played excellently. Between them, it made for a tense game but we were lucky to come out of it on the right end. I think that Panama's extra day of rest turned out to be a huge advantage for them.

loyola Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 You just see what 15-16 yrs old often do, a very different team from what I saw wednesday. We couldn't build on some possession and turned the ball over too much but we still won, and that's great TBH. Congrats guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFCRegina Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Tough game but we edged it out. Still haven't conceded. We're in the final and that's one more important game for this group to play in (good for development). Fantastic for the kids, and it helps build a winning attitude for this group of youngsters (something we need at the Senior level). Quite impressed and excited. I might have to get twitter soon to start firing these things around the interwebs to my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killgod Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So win the final and were a top seed at the World Cup? 2nd place would mean a 2nd or maybe 3rd seed? Anyone know how that works. The announcer mentioned it but I was distracted and didn't get to hear all that he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Definitely wasn't impressed with that second half, I think after the end of the first half we needed a new approach lets face it they could have tied that match up. We needed to push on for a second, our boys were getting ahead of themselves with possession instead of making the smart pass they were fighting the ball up field and it was rebounding right back to where it came from. The ref wasn't a help to us today either, I know he may have been from Barbados and been a little upset but some of those calls were shocking.

The announcer mentioned it but I was distracted and didn't get to hear all that he said. dont count on it. FIFA tend to make things up as they go along. the women won their qualifying tourny and were not given a top seeding. Beside, the places are fairly spread out amongst regions and will likely go into the same pot so you will see all UEFA teams in one pot, all concacaf and likely NZ in another and so forth. Canada will probably end up in a group with one Euro side, one SA or African side etc etc. Seeding is less relevant for the U17 and U20 WC's even though there are the usual powers at the level like Bra, Arg, Ghanna etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from what we heard (ie.: cards being carried over to the WC) its a big bonus to get through the final of the qualifying tourny with no cards at all. I didnt think the ref was bad to be honest. Although I did only catch second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 They've also only scored 1 goal. I predict a tight, 1-0 win for the good guys. Well done jpg75... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Crepeau has looked like a solid keeper however, I don't know if I can fault him for anything. He was brave in net coming out for balls, made good decisions, communicated with his back line well, is a great kicker of the ball, smart with his time wasting tactics... the Impact look to have a keeper there (had to).
