I find Sam was a lil hard on Hyland. Even Joevin too.
JJ was the class of the field, although there was a very big period in the middle when he disappeared.
All in all a very good performance by the players individually and as a team.
My real surprise was the shift KJ put in. Wow, this is what we want from him. Great job.
Not sure why we still harping on Stephen Hart, can't say anything that has not already been said, he did improve us, we all liked him personally and for his work, but he has a cap. And he and the team reached it. No coach in the world works under ideal circumstances.
I am not sure DL has the ability to surpass Hart as a coach, in theory he is more equipped to do so given his playing and coaching experience in Europe with better coaches. But these things are never straightforward.
What was clear about last week's game was that we came our the blocks red-hot, then after 30mins or so you could see we start to fade. The boys got a wind in their sail in the later part of the second half. It will be interesting to see how we approach Mexico.
Good result vs Panama. We always seem to beat them as they are less "latin" so we matchup better against them.
To have a sniff of a chance in this round, we need nothing short of 6pts against them. And we already behind the 8-ball with Honduras.
