SkuseisLoose Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) New Zealand gk saved them today respect to him; we should have been more clinical with the amount of chances we had. On a positive note Nelson is fucking magic. Edited November 2, 2019 by SkuseisLoose rightback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He saw the keeper off his line and tried to grab one. When we needed at least 2 goals in a short period of time, I don’t think that is a bad gamble to take.

When he gets stripped of the ball by the 3rd or 4th guy with a wide open man on the wing, I don’t think that is smart play. SkuseisLoose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ref Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Fatso Olivieri succeeded in eliminating Canada. I hope the CSA will succeed in giving Olivieri a big boot where he deserves. Charlesmazzz, SpecialK, xabuep2 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 That VAR call back was disgusting. It can’t be clear and obvious if it takes four minutes and you don’t have an angle from along the line narduch, The Ref, Bdog and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 So this campaign brings our historical U17 WC record to 0W-17L-4D. almost impressive how bad that is hamiltonfan, Kent and CanadaFan123 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid-Tone Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Obviously the finishing isn't quite there yet, but the boys have put together some decent touches. They were absolutely snake-bitten in the final 3rd tonight. With the kiwi keeper making a bunch of great saves and a BS offside call taking one off the board. This will be an exciting group to follow as they progress onto the u20's and even further, as these guys develop more chemistry together. aloyol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Well the positive to me is that its clear that there is some fantastic individual talent on this team. I am confident that at least half a dozen or more players look like they could develop into quite impressive players in the future. I just hope that, they receive some quality coaching in the future.

Aird25 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Robbed by VAR and a great performance by the keeper. Still, we need to do better than this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccMan Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 The talent is there but when you have a useless coach guiding the ship what do you expect? Get some bloody new coaches in there it’s always the same 3 or 4 guys coaching these youth teams, think outside the bloody box and get some new guys in there who can instil a winning mentality with these youth national teams. It’s 2019 they should not be losing to bloody New Zealand at any age group! The Ref, SpecialK, xabuep2 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colliedor Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Better performance this time around. Especially from Nelson. Just a shame the NZ goalkeeper went into beast mode. Team wise, there was issues in this tournament, but individually some players did show their potential and played well. Still really excited by some of these players and really hope they continue to progress. Edited November 2, 2019 by Colliedor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 My sense of Olivieri is that he’s... uncomplicated. Kind of like the fans at the hockey game that yell “shoot!” for 60 minutes regardless of the situation. Not sure it’s a winning mentality these boys need but a professional mentality — one that recognizes that talent must always come second to a tactical plan that everyone buys into. I’m not convinced from these three games and the qualifying games that Olivieri is the guy to provide that. Certainly there was talent on display tonight, but not tactics and that’s almost a worse combination for us going forward than only a little of each.

Bdog Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 On the disallowed goal - I saw it was an MLS ref on VAR duty tonight and thought "I'm sure he'll find a way to screw us over with misuse of VAR tonight", can't say I'm surprised lmao. People will disagree with me but I've always thought that very minuscule offsides in the build up to a play (that aren't caught right away) isn't really what the "spirit" of the rule is for. Think of the NHL where we're now seeing goals disallowed because a player's skate was a millimeter high when he crossed the blue line, the play goes on for a minute before the goal is scored, and finally after 5 minutes of reviewing it the goal gets disallowed. It's not why the rule is there. I feel like I can explain it a bit better but I'm too lazy. Anyways I have to see another replay of that goal but it's obviously not "clear and obvious" if it takes that long to look at it. Like everyone is saying, there are definitely some players who have tons of talent but there seemed to be no cohesion at all. Habibullah is crazy good for being the youngest(?) player there but at times he held on to the ball way too long. I think it was near the end where he had Rea open on the wing but just kept ignoring him and everyone else. Nelson wasn't as guilty of doing this as some people are saying imo.

CanadaFan123 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) At the end of the day who cares at this level? But we shouldn’t have expectations if we don’t even prepare. That’s on the CSA and not the kids. The record is pathetic and speaks for itself. Edited November 2, 2019 by CanadaFan123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one stood out for me as well. Guy wide open on the wing, and he just dribbles into a group of 4 or 5 guys in the middle. Rea went from moving into space, to looking frustrated, to basically giving up and walking away. Must be annoying as a teammate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
