Yeah if that's the case Ja doesn't have a good bench. Let's do a honest and constructive self critique. Yes we won the ball nicely at the edge of the 18 but what happened afterwards (talking second half that I saw)? The decision was poor, instead of making a decent pass that could transition into a counter
attack it was aimlessly booted up top with the hopes of the lone striker getting it. Possession of the ball waste time of the clock without the ref hounding you. Booting the ball to the opponent can result in a goal. Had the US been a more technical team they would have scored to tie the game. In the 88th to 90th min Ja had a golden opportunity. Where? Ja had 4 attackers at the 18 against two US players. Instead of exchanging quick one touch passes to be one on one with the keeper one pass was made and all stood and watched theplayer trying to go one on one. This brings us to another question: What if the ref had given the penalty to the US? Clearly it was up to his interpretation (he did not see it as a deliberate handball) but remember WC 94 when Baggio was kicking the ball to people's arm then getting penalties awarded? What if we played in Europe against a Euro team? The boyz must be discplined to know that the must hold their hands behind their backs in tose instances.
Now on to another subject. I kept speaking of the wealth of federations. The youth did not have the proper tools to work on the field. Why? Well Rboyz kept slipping all over the place and there was no rain. Notice the US players weren't slipping? It comes down to having the right gear for the grounds. It's not the first game either, check the highlights and you will see the same.
I saw a documentary on an academy in France where the coach suspended a player for not bringing the proper gear to play. His argument was he's training you to be a pro and one must know as a pro to bring the right tools to work. In Ja's case it could be lack of funds; in order for the boys to have the right shoe to play. Does the JFF have a memebr to inspect the field then report to the coach that X,Y,Z gear is needed?
As I see it Ja needs an indoor practice area for the teams. This way they can concentrate heavily on PASSING (in tight spaces too). They could simulate the situation where suddenly it's four against two then quick one touch to appear infron of the goals. This again takes money. Maybe the JFF could build one then rent it to the local clubs when they (JFF) aren't using it. Seeing that that the whole island needs to concentrate on passing.
