That doesn't prove anything necessarily but still I wager this was nearly 100% on Davies. Ignore my earlier Borjan hot take As a keeper, Borjan should know the law at least as well, if not BETTER than Davies. He could easily have hoofed it out with his foot but chose to catch it.

villus Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I've played in games against people who did that and had no idea you couldn't. I've never seen it come up but apparently the ref got it right, I don't think its a big issue, clearly neither Davies or Borjan had any idea and I can't really blame them either, its pretty damn obscure law.

Yeah, if I am ranking all the things that went wrong, that's pretty far down the list. I am more worried about how we played and what our gameplan was.

sstackho Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 FWIW - after the loss, the players shook hands and came to applaud the travelling fans. Then they reconvened in a big circle huddle at the centre of the pitch for a solid 1-2 minutes. I found this to be an interesting moment. Maybe it says something about team unity, or maybe it doesn't. apbsmith, JamboAl, gator and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addona Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) I just re-watched the highlights ... I know there were multiple players at fault on a few of the goals, but am I correct that Henry was majorly culpable on the first Zardes goal and the Long goal? On the first Zardes goal, he seems to hesitate to check if someone is behind him, but let's Zardes get position on him, and Zardes was the clear threat there in my eyes ... on the Long goal, DH just seems to lose him ... I don't want to be overly harsh on DH, but given that the first goal was partially the result of a fluke bounce and the 4th goal was likely in part due to the circumstances at that point in the match, those two errors were MASSIVE!

Kent Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Am I the only one that thinks the first goal isn't the result of a flukey bounce? It was a result of leaving players completely unmarked inside the box. We should have been able to deal with that, flukey bounce or not.

It was the result of a fluke bounce but it should have been dealt with. Just look at a still picture of the moment when the ball gets to Morris. Our guys are just standing there not marking anyone - poor defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about this...on #1 David is beaten to the low cross into the box, and Davies lets his man go, not covering the left side and thats right where the ball ends up, #2, Vitoria blows the header, then doesnt attack the crosser and both defenders (mainly Henry) let Zardes go between them. Goal #3, Henry misses the header this time but it looks like Long was Vitorias man, either way screwed up set piece that everyone owns a piece of. #4 Cornelius blows the header and Piette chests it to Zardes who buries it. At the end of the day, Vittoria and Henry did not seem to be on the same page at all, harsh to hang it all on Henry. Some of that even has to go to Herdman, as cornelius and Vittoria seemed to be working well, maybe had better communication etc. Probably even Henry and Cornelius would have done better together. But Herdman is watching them in camp, he should know who pairs up best etc. Maybe if we played more games we could figure this stuff out.

Yeah, I still haven’t watched the game replay, but love it looked like someone was on the scorer before the kick was launched in and then completely let him run in alone to score. It looked like complete non-marking to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFBF Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 In my opinion people aren't focusing on our midfield enough. Many of the goals and chances came from poor passing going forward. In the first game we played through the middle and were very clean in our passing. In the second game we were sloppy in our passing and we paid for it. Our defense sucked, but so did our midfield.

The first thing that comes to mind are misplaced passes from a tired Osorio and an out of form Piette. Kaye misplaced a pass to David and Arfield was forced into a turn over or two. We decided to square up to a motivated USA side away from home and paid the price. A more conservative approach would have been wiser, but we have the players to ball and they are eager to prove they are equals to the USA. I get it, because I honestly believe our midfield matches theirs in terms of talent, but there is a place and a time. Away from home with only a point needed was not the time. Foolish approach. h coach, rightback, dennis and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtlMario Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I was in Cuba last week for a family vacation. When I got to my room, turned the TV on and was very happy to see that the resort carried ESPN2. So I missed the Friday family supper to watch the game. I should of went for supper. Like everyone here very disappointed with the play and result but nobody mentioned the missed penalty call for us in the 12th minute. Even the US commentators thought it should of been called. I not saying we would have won or tied the game for sure but it could of changed things. PS. That game cost the all inclusive resort a few extra drinks. johnyb, gator and Addona 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he got fouled 2 or 3 times leading up to that and the ref did not call it. We had a lot of calls go against us, but this is concacaf for you.

costarg Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Nice to see some faces, spend soo much time on here but haven't met anyone yet. I was in Delray for the Orlando game, I was close to driving up and trying to meet some of you, however 3 month old baby held me back from asking the wife. Hope to make it happen soon.

Apologies for not remembering the other guys right now. (Perhaps it wasn't the greatest idea to wait 20 months to post the photo) I'm sure someone will fill in the gaps here eventually. Obviously though the result of the game wasn't what we wanted, it was a great time and I enjoyed getting to know some of the V's a little bit!
