[Goanet] Goa's abysmal performance in Lusofonia Games
Dear Bernado, I have often wondered why on many teams the goalkeeper appears to be the better player. And on many strong teams also one of the older players. Dino Zoff of Italy comes to mind, and in that World Cup also the Irish goalkeeper. venantius > > From: Bernado Colaco > Subject: [Goanet] Goa's abysmal performance in Lusofonia Games > > The 2nd Lusofonia games in Lisboa... > > The only good thing was that they kicked the ball all over the place when > attacked by the opposition in other words there were 8 defenders plus the > goalkeeper (probably? was the best player for the Goa team).
[Goanet] Goa's abysmal performance in Lusofonia Games
The 2nd Lusofonia games in Lisboa started off with the match between Goa and Mozambique. The only highlight of the match was that the Goans did not sing the bharat anthem. Game wise the u-21 Goa team lacked the basics such as trapping, leading and dribbling. The only good thing was that they kicked the ball all over the place when attacked by the opposition in other words there were 8 defenders plus the goalkeeper (probably was the best player for the Goa team). Mozambique scored two and could have doubled the lead. Goa did not construct one single move from the midfield but missed two easy sitters. Goa performed better in the first Lusofonia games in Macau then they had a Portuguese coach. Now they have Mauricio Afonso once touted as Goa's best player now a clown coach of the Goa team. In the second match Cabo Verde trashed Goa 7-1. The worst performance must have been the women's volleyball they were trashed by Macau. Looked like the girls were playing shetanle volleyball. They could not muster one spike during the match. http://www.lisboa2009.org BC
