Congrats Tappa, Jff and Rboyz

[TheDread]

Jawge is an easy thing Tappa needs to select his team based on the team he is playing against. He needs to add more talent to the squad. ANyone remember when Downswell used both Andy and Hue together in the gold cup?

[Jawge]

you speak of halves, I speak of wholes. I look at the whole picture.

[Jawge]

So we are not talking about whether Hue is creative or not? The target has been shifted.

[Jawge]

Tilla you are an educated man; surely you must know the difference between when someone exploits space as opposed to creating it. Are you trying to be difficult or setting some kind of trick question?

[Jawge]

"Tappa needs to select his team based on the team he is playing against."

Well that was my point hence my argument about Hue.

[HL]

Stoni, have you been to game--where the current squad played against an opponent?

I find it tough to draw objective conclusion about players based on TV coverage.

TheDread gave you an x-cape hatch King Jawge!!

Hey no problem one has to disagree at times. If you noticed the last game against Panama; Tappa was still experimenting with the defence. Nugsy and map (sp) didn't play. This alone says a lot because the Rboyz still were able to rally overcome the middle and force an equalizing goal. We now know for certain who will marshal our central D. Rboyz tighten up and apply there athletic and physical presence and Panama will cave (hey they did it to the US in the office).

On Mexico: Yes we respect their game but our strength, concentration and team work will prevail (if applied properly). Remember when they came to the office in 90s? Oh yes the office field was substandard but with their superior technique I was impressed with their slick passing on a sub par field. In the head pepe rose with all his strength and headed home that corner. Ja must be ablle to concentrate fully for 90 mins against them though. I can recall another qualifier when the coach of Mexico said they will defeat us with their superior technique. A defender dived to clear a ball and missed (poor technique) the ball came over to Blanco who did not even control but half volleyed in the goal (superior technique). Ja just can't afford these mistakes in the Hex.

Ja is more athletic and faster than Mexico. Ja should bring them in our game; let their defenders sprint hard to clear balls form our quick running forwards (or chase hard after them). I know we can over power them in the middle, hence make them uncomfortable bring them to our game. Let see how well they come with the game of speed

HL the TV covers a lot more than the eyes. There is also a thing called replay.When you turnn your head to speak to a friend you miss something. I was at the last Brasil game just to really see Messi and Neymar physically. I missed a lot but as a fan it was fun.

To really assess players it's a combination of both. So far I have a 93% accuracy when evaluating players via camera.

[Jawge]

Mi nuh really need none cause is di truth mi ah come wid. Look if mi nuh say it in a mi initial post.

[HL]

I won't ask you about your measurement techniques.

Anyway: next time you watch a game on TV, notice the fraction of the field that is covered by the camera... the number of players in the frame at that point in time....

What are the other players doing who are out of frame?

Nothing...absolutely NOTHING beats going to a live game King Jawge!!

[Muadib]

ahright.. look at the whole picture..

do you want someone in the middle that can control and pass the ball accurately, putting pressure on the opposing defense ?

[Muadib]

Your argument is specious.. we currently don't have the luxury of choice in the middle to have a player like Hue on the bench..

When we do.. I will advise you..
