Rboyz on their win recently. Better late than never 
Okay Tappa you got an –A from me on this one. Ignore those that say your team was boring.
The fact that you were able to have the team pass from out the back at all times and play
a possession game was impressive. I was impressed after Blake made a save; the defenders
calmly took the ball and transitioned into attack (by passing) all the way at the opponent’s end.
Let me say it now, I was not for Blake because I thought he was too small, hence baiting
attackers to fire at will on the goal. Blake stood up big time in this game; clearly man of the match.
I do hope he does everything the same way as he did in the last game (this way he stays in that zone).
In keeping with the Jakan saying “di same side ah di bed yuh sleep pon last night…..”
Ja doesn’t have a Neymar, Son of man, Paulinho, Marcelo, Willian, Dani…. (to name
a few) hence the talk of boring is moot to me. The result is what counts here. When Germany
plays their usual boring game and achieve their goals , it’s called efficiency . Ja does the same
it’s boring. Ja would have been stronger with the British contingent but Tappa has to work
with what he has.
These matches are practical exams and Tappa will be tested on a difficult exam tonight. Given
the way the Rboyz play (heavy reliance on athleticism) I don’t think JJ could start. Ja will run with
numbers to defend, then sprint back to attack in transition. This happened when Powell made that run in counter. Powell had to keep going because there was no pass for him (eventually wasting the run). Stoni spoke about this in his argument on metrics (players must be able to sprint certain distances in a given time). Speaking of passing; that two on one break away Ja had in the second half should have been a goal. The reason why it wasn’t a goal; was because the player didn’t release the ball early. This way Mattocks could run on to it. The player held on to the ball then came down on Mattocks, who in turn tried a lateral run (in order to stay on side) hence the fumble. This cannot happen against Mexico
seeing that that chances will be few. Rboyz cannot afford to press high on Mexico because the Mexican are better at passing and controlling in tight spaces. The Mexicans would be at the edge of the 18 in a flash. I say let the pressing begin just above the half line in Mexico’s half. If Ja relies on their belief in each other (the coach included), their athleticism and speed the game should be interesting.

. Focus on replays of fouls from angles that the ref can't see then things will be fine.
