Unnamed Trialist Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 It is asinine that they have a major tournament at a critical moment in everyone's season--except the players in US clubs. It also happens to be the NWSL pre-season, a bad time to do it. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe 12 of Guyana's 23-women squad are Canadian, so more than half the team! 😁 🍁 I will have to cheer for them by default I guess! ---- Plenty of Canadians in Haiti's squad as well. The coach tried to call Lourdjina Etienne (awarded Best Player of the U17 tournament that just took place) but she was unable to travel due to visa issues. https://www.concacaf.com/under-17s-women/article/etienne-fuller-lead-honors-at-women-s-under-17-championship/ Edited February 17 by Olympique_de_Marseille Canuckia and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) In the 1st half of El Salvador vs Guatemala: El Salvador have been dominant [even before the Guatemala red card (you can't punch a player in the back!)]. Two goals by Brenda Cerén who looks a class above any other player on that pitch. On 1/31/2024 at 2:15 PM, Olympique_de_Marseille said: El Salvador are slowly improving their player pool and have just recruited a quality USA-dual in Samantha Fisher who plays with Chicago in the NWSL. Fisher also hit the post in that first half and has combined well. She is another player that has brought this El Salvador team to another level. Respect to their coach Eric Acuña (and his mega-beard). This El Salvador team looks well coached and very cohesive. Lots of very quick incisive accurate passing. Fun game to watch so far. In the 2nd half Guatemala finally settled into the game but it was too late as they were already down a player. Guatemala's Ana Lucía Martínez got to show her quality by hitting the crossbar twice; the second time it bounced in for a goal. El Salvador were still strong in transition. Brenda Cerén took two penalties. The first one was the goal that gave her the hatrick for the night, the 2nd she kicked into the sky. The #CanWNT should easily deal with El Salvador's defence but 🇸🇻 have enough quality that they could keep the match interesting and cause problems for Paraguay and/or Costa Rica.

red card Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 El Salvador looked the best of the 6 play-in teams. At times, their attacking pace & quickness was above some tier 1 countries. Unfortunate Guatemala didn't advance as they looked like a top 3 team. Though, they were a bit disappointing after Mont Vic said to watch out for them on Footy Prime. It seemed like they didn't scout El Salvador or got their tactics wrong in the first half. And contrary to the view cited by some that women's football is better than men because there is no diving & other shenanigans, it was good to see the dark arts on display from both El Salvador and Guatemala. Unfortunate to see Haiti out since they were missing a number of their top players due to the match being outside of the FIFA window and player injuries. With Aramco now a Concacaf sponsor, I would expect the Saudis in both women & men's Gold Cup. Canuckia and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
