At least WC coach have a neck. That Panamanian coach looking like Danny DeVitto and Sprangalang had a baby together.

Well Benjamin scored a very good goal and daiz something to be happy about. Extra striker still needed. Good hustle by W. They will eventually be rewarded with wins

Nice goal but it was not enough. I find our clubs travel terribly! I have to check our records but is like every away game is a write-off.

OutsideMan · « **Reply #305 on:** August 08, 2013, 10:12:05 PM »

They need to start making overlapping runs, and passing the ball in the spaces (not necessarily to the man) in the offensive 3rd.

Their passes in the offensive 3rd were too direct, and too predictable for the most part.

That's my $.02

For me Connection. They are the closet thing to a real pro team because of their management. But honestly, AIA Cali had the harder game. I give them pips for scoring a goal against Toluca. Very few Trini teams(clubs or National) have scored A goal against any Mexico team in the high altitude part of Mexico. Joe Public beat Vera Cruz, but at sea level. Plus that Joe Public team was a very good team.

I think Connection should have come away with at least a draw. Two defensive blunders clean them up. They , like Cali, have to win their home games to go forward. No ties, ifs or buts. Connection had equal share of the position in that game. Pretty good build from behind, good give and Go. But in the finally third they lack a strong penetrating forwards. Now I see why they could not beat DF and Cali last season. They weak up front. Arabe on the other hand, had a tall boy who scored the 2 goals. He gave Connection trouble the entire night. Plus they had speedy wingers who again, pressured our wing backs. The 3rd was scored because of the burst of speed by the sugar head guy. Connection scored on a nice counters. Benji had a neat clinical finish with the goal.

Honestly, I don't know what to say of these 2 teams now. They could win or lose at home, I don't know , I cyah tell. But I still feel Connection is better than Cali. That is my feelings.

The business community is behind this Panamanian surge in international and club football. This Arabe team is probaly sponsored by Panamanians of middle eastern descent. Good organization with money will do just that.

You know, some teams never learn. They just continue to make things difficult on themselves. A 3-2 lost, yeah I could understand that and accept it for what it is, but 3-1, you just made things very difficult on yourself.
Championship winning teams either win on the road or they draw on the road. If they are going to lose, they fight hard not to lose by a wide margin. They take away the other team's home field advantage. That's the mark of champions. They give the other teams and their coaching staff worries and problems.

Now that Caledonia and W Connection are the home teams, they must protect this house.

True talk...but with all the silly errors and poor execution, Cali and WC Connection did manage to do one thing correct in the away-matches. They pulled one back, thereby making it just a 'lil easier to erase the negative goal differences in the games at home.

Doh bite my head off...ah just trying to see de silver lining...lol

Just checking to see if anyone support that. I have to say, I have seen a definite change in W's approach to their marketing this season - its refreshing!
