Actually is the defence that kept us in all the games. We had flashes of brilliance in all 3 games, but all 3 teams had better ball control, movement and possesion. Yes, our guys had good counter acts at times but those were not enough to keep those teams off balance. The problem I have with our team is composure when they had the ball. The 2 wing backs especially made bad passes and was vooming the ball a lot. At times they could have control and tried shorter passes, but when you on the field is a different matter. The Uruguay goal appeared soft, but that ball skipped off the turf, plus the GK was kind of outa position. But he made some grand saves to keep us in the game.

Good effort. This was a good experience for them. Now back to the TTFF.

Excellent tourney guys. Nuff respect Angus. Ah hear the boys singing your praises. Ah have a feeling you are the real deal as far as potential for greatness in coaching.

Thanks for the effort

Well done boys!!! Three quality oppositions and three good results, use this experience to build forward from here.

On another note, I was watching Sports Nation last night on espn. They usually have a segment called "3 Jeers" meaning like bloopers and our very own Caesar was number 1 with in missed kick/half volley at a cross in the last game ;D

I now see the penalty kicks in that women's final.
Check the Canadian keeper's movement on the kick, She save that last one standing up.
