TT Under 16 vs US Select Team - Game 2 Saturday August 5th, 2006.
UWI Ground, St Augustine
Yow peeps,
Jus a quick note about the U-16’s today….
I dropped in for a while to watch their training games at UWI, they were playing 4 twenty five minutes quarters.
I only took in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, the score was 4-0 when I left, we were on top.
To be honest, the US team were not much of a test for the guys. They were bigger and stronger, but our players had them running in circles under the blistering 12 noon sun. Even under a tree I was sweating plenty.
A general summary of the game:
Keepers look comfortable, the a lill weak in goal kicks. The uS keeper was much stronger. But they were not really tested too much to guage.
The defense, not really tested too much either, when they were call into action, they look real professional, and were always looking to distribute the ball with some quality.
The midfield worked a lot! Under them hot conditions, it was non stop running from men who all playing for pick. A couple players real stand out, including a white boy, who was finding holes and chooking some nice passes, also some cross field passes, and he could shoot good with both feet, he stand out above everyone else. There were no jersey numbers nor names, just white tees, so iaint really know who was who. The only thing is that our crossing from the wings was a lill weak, we hadda work on that for sure.
Forwards – look ok, I hear people talking about Husbands, he score one goal when I was there, he look sharp.
But in general, the US team didn’t really provide that much opposition, they just very strong and can defend.
But the fellas looking decent man, the main thing that ketch me was everyone keen to want to play the passing game, no voom ball and run behind it….The midfield looking good.
Don’t know how the final score end up though….
My guess would be a 6-0
