Brutal PK.

Terrible

[Gian-Luca]

Canada misses pk after being made to wait 5 minutes to take it, which pretty much happens every time there is that long of a delay 

[Big_M]

Misses the penalty

AND GUESS WHATS HIS NUMBER????

 

 

YUP 19

It would be ideal if we scored here.

No, seriously: we should really try to score on PKs going forward.  Someone send a message to the CSA.

What was the delay waiting to take the kick for, that was brutal and certainly can't help the kid waiting to take it?

Waited for the T&T player to leave the field. Hardly an excuse for the bad PK.

Were they waiting for the red card player to leave?

[narduch]

T+T coach got a yellow

[Soccerpro2]

The team has controlled the tempo and dictated the game but lack sharpness.

Best guess is that they were double checking to see if T&T’s keeper is Weston McKennie since he looks just like him

Also seem to always look for that long, breakaway pass.  That's an Olivieri hallmark.

[gator]

There we go!

[narduch]

Goal!

[Gian-Luca]

Goal scored by the Pk misser!

[El Hombre]

Vojvodic makes up for the PK.  Good.

[narduch]

The pk misser got the goal.

He's a fantastic coach with a proven track record. I hope we bring Valerio Gazzola back for the u20s while we're at it.

[gator]

That was a nice ball played over the top down the left flank although the T & T player may have miss judged it!

[Soccerpro2]

I'm disappointed with the early red for T&T. This game won't show us anything for future matches.

Worst coach I've ever seen with the national team at any level.  Good call.

There have been some real candidates over the last 20 years for that title with the CSA.

[lamptern]

Any link guys?

 

[Soccerpro2]

This team seems less athletic than in previous editions.

It's not a comment on their ability, just the fact that we usually have several athletic speed merchants at this level. Youth coaches usually can't resist them.

He was exceptional though.  Pretty sure I remember a game with the U20s where we just gained possession at half and he starts yelling "NOW GO SCORE!" at the top of his lungs.  Beautiful tactician.

Not speed per se, but Chukwu looks like a beast for a 14 year-old.
