[Goanet] Goa's abysmal performance in Lusofonia Games

2009-07-13 Thread Bernado Colaco

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.

[Goanet] Goa's abysmal performance in Lusofonia Games

2009-07-13 Thread Venantius Pinto
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.

 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).
