CONCACAF U17 - Costa Rica vs Canada [R]

We rolled around on the turf injured, time wasted and scrapped like a real Central American team at the end of that game after scoring on corner, coming back from a goal down twice.

Jean- Yves Tabla has been outstanding. He must have cut ties with the Impact with his eyes on Europe.

Our two unattached players have been our best players.

This one was on a little too late for me so I've only seen the highlights but despite some of the poor defensive play, this is a great result. What amazes me about this squad is the depth. It seems we are able to replace quality with like for like when making subitutions.

I am hoping I to watch Mexico on Friday. Did the stream last night have sound?

Wonderful night for Kitchener players. Paton definitely made the mistake on the CR goal but oh boy did he make up for it. Provided the ball into Tabla and then sent in a wonderful corner to Sadiki (another Kitchener native). Mario Halapir and his team deserve huge credit for these players.

Munir Saleh was also wearing the arm band after Baldisimo left the game. Couldn't be more proud of those boys.

Paton made the pass on the 2nd goal...

 

I don't think you should blame him though...Why would the goalie give him the ball when he's completely surrounded by Costaricans? That was a very bad decision which ultimately led to the goal.

 

Baldissimo was extremely lucky that he wasn't send off, looked like a clear red card to me (the penalty call wasn't so clear, as the faul started outside the box).

Ok, maybe not the best choice of distribution but the defender has all the time in the world to pass it back to his GK who could boot it away. At this level he should be blame for that goal.

 

The foul looked outside the box to me.

 

Anyways, very good result for the boys and let's hope we can manage a result against Mexico!

I guess we could debate this all day long, as that was the ONLY option the defender had. So again, why put him in that position in the first place? Anyway, what is more important is that they came back and fought for a great result.

The Costa Rica penalty was a horrible call.  The foul was clearly outside the box and I can't believe no Canadians complained there.   The correct call was a free kick and a red not a yellow and a penalty.

 

Great play to draw the PK by our #9 and the run up to the PK was a veteran move, impressive to see from a kid that young.

 

Every Costa Rica chance was from a Canada mistake, they really need to get it together for next match.

I watched the final of the Canadian U-14 club championships a couple years ago in Lethbridge and Quebec had a kid who was the best 14 year old I had ever seen in Canada. Just realized that was Tabla. Huge potential.
