Canada U-23 to face Trinidad and Tobago
canadasoccer.com


The Canadian Soccer Association has announced that its men’s U-23 Olympic team will face Trinidad and Tobago in a Men’s U-23 International Friendly match during a preparatory camp in mid-March. With both sides preparing for the upcoming 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying tournament, the two sides will be based in the state of Florida in mid March.

The Canadian camp dates are 13-19 March, with the date and location for the Canada-Trinidad and Tobago match to be announced in the coming week. The Canadian team travels to Nashville, TN on 20 March 2012.

In Nashville, Canada’s three group matches are 22 March against El Salvador, 24 March against USA and 26 March against Cuba. Two teams will advance to the semi-final and championship stages in Kansas City, KS.

The roster for the upcoming men’s U-23 Olympic pre-tournament camp will be announced in approximately one week’s time after all players have been officially released by their clubs.

The 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying tournament runs 22 March to 2 April in Nashville, TN (Group B), Carson, CA (Group A) and Kansas City (semi-final and final stages). While Canada, Cuba, El Salvador and USA are featured in Group B, Honduras, Mexico, Panama and Trinidad and Tobago are featured in Group A. From the eight teams competing in the tournament, only two will qualify for the London 2012 Olympics.

Canada's men's Olympic team will feature players born 1989 or later. The team is coached by Tony Fonseca, the Association's High Performance Director and Men's Olympic Team Coach.

Seems like the powers that be are finally beginning to get it. Let's hope that they stick to this formula. More high level exposure is always good.

You would expect that if the coach rests at least 7 starters, the fringe players would put in a shift to earn their place..right?

On set pieces we look exceptionally good, especially around the opposing box.  Free kicks for the most part elicit a save or are very dangerous.

Our mid field play is poor.  We knock the ball around the back line very well, but there is little outlet for the ball as we have no supporting midfield.  This results in a long ball down the field.

Running off the ball when transitioning into attack is flat, a straight line...that allows the opposing defense to step up and easily shut the play down.

Again, I will concede that there were fringe layers looking to make the squad, e did not play our best 11, BUT....you would expect the pool players to fight, fight and fight for a place on the team.

Around the attacking third we too predictable.  Not one problem to Canada in the ENTIRE second half.

I saw the 2nd half and was bitterly disappointed.

First off we play with a back 3. I don't know of anyone else in world football doing that now. Positioning defensively was a problem as a result. There were always gaps wide as the wide midfielders were clueless defensively. When the back 3 went out to challenge, more gaps were created in the middle. Why reinvent the wheel? Having said that, we are good in the air, however our defenders go to the ground a little too much and tracking our attackers needs to be better.

Our midfield is a problem. There is too large a gap from back to front at all times, both offensively and defensively. That is a coaching problem as Eve needs to prepare the team to be more compact. The midfielders, except for a #4 did not routinely show for the ball from defenders. That resulted in our defenders hoofing the ball to the forwards. Nobody seemed capable of holding the ball and controlling the play.

I question the tactical awareness of the coach and the players. Things never changed or improved during the course of the match. From a technical standpoint, we are not very good either. Our touch was not good and we were not well organized. Players did not look like they understood their roles. Canada was not very  good but they were well organized.

Maybe the team was tired from a hectic schedule or Eve was looking at different players but this team has a lot of work to do to stand a chance.
