Dominica went down 1-nil to St Lucia, in the first friendly football match at the Windsor Park Stadium on Saturday night in front of a huge crowd.
Eden Charles scored a beautiful free kick in the 70th minute of play to give St Lucia victory going into Sunday’s match.
Both teams lacked coordination and composure in front of the goal and will be looking to do much better in game two.
Dominica has been struggling in front their home crowd and will have to play much better in game two, to have any chance of leveling the friendly match series.
Game two is scheduled to begin at 6 pm on Sunday and organizers are asking Dominicans to come out in large numbers to support the national team.
Man does always pull up on de side and run their mouth when they cannot do any better than the players on the field. Why don’t we learn to support our local boy? Atleast they have the love enough for their country to go and represent us for free. these guys are not getting paid to play but yet they are criticized by man that cannot do any better
Hush your mammy talk.bout man run mouth so much good players I see that get trial n all.they do is cut there neck because they not from.town or they don’t know somebody that know somebody what u know
Dominica has been going down to St. Lucia and all Caribbean islands for 10 years now. We go down to them in football, cricket, financial growth, employment, place to do business, tourism, stay over visitors, agricultural export, human growth / migration. The only category we lead St. Lucia and other regional leaders in is corruption. There we lead and others follow
Perfect idiot indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the best soccer player in Dominica(S A J) is not on the team so they cant win.
As a fan of football & a Dominican who watched the game at the stadium, I would like to share a few thoughts on this game.
– Overall, let me just state that the game in its entirety left much to be desired.
– Though I realize it is a friendly and these opportunities should be used to try different players and styles, the dominican team seemed to lack movement overall as well as spacing which is imperative regardless of the formation or players for a senior national team.
– Composure and Decision making is another point that I believe needed to be addressed as there were numerous times at which the coaching staff should revisit. Players seemed to eager to attack into spaces too often without any support & when support provided itself most times a more audacious pass was chosen.
– The St.Lucia team were lucky on a over hit cross in my opinion, however, the goal keeper I believe was slightly to close to his near post from the get go.
– Dominica created the two best opportunities to score in the game; the free-kick to the top of the box in the first half & the left foot shot mis-kick in the second half by the left winger #13.
A posted team sheet for these friendlies would be a good idea.
Dominican players of note: Curlson, Skele, Dowad, The two center backs & the right half. Great performances.
I do commend the team and wish them the best for today;s friendly.
Close but no cigar, better luck in todays game.Down# but not out!! Good luck, my prediction Dominica 2, our Lucians friends, 1.
At that level, conditioning makes all the difference. Yes our fellas are talented but they’re just not fit enough.
we need to improve in all aspects of our game.
Dominica need to put all the five NCS Bombers players to play at the same time because they are having a very good season with there club come on coach stop what u doing think about dominica football not your self
That Dominican Team there eh, if these are our best I dont want to see the worst..
No no no I disagree with the both team lack coordination. When u got a forward man just there watching others hustle for ball n just waiting to get it. When u have a forward man dribbling as he loose it is give up put his hand on his waste n go back to his position to.wait for another n some Dominicans claiming he the best making him believe he the best shit Mr not no damn the best buy pure crap hell b10 Stupes Mr is crap shit pure shit n DFA need to.change that team around cause dem to bias town man alone so much footballers that on the island from south and the east. Just have a bunch a high leaf on d national side we can never win
Joke you making man boss. maybe you were watching a different game over the weekend. b10 was not even on the team but yet you are talking about him. why don’t you go and contribute to football and play for national team so we will win.
From the south to the east they don’t like we players so they cut our neck very quick. N I know he wasn’t playing he is part of the team he is the best they said cap as well so he got to take it on or the field
So, I take it that the score was 1 – 0, or it could have been 2 – 1 or 3- 2 or 3 – 4 or 5 – 4…right?
Dominica has a new team and young too. I find they still put up a good fight. I thought the forward-midfield area seemed a bit soft.
dominica national football team hopeless!!!!!
More than hopeless.
I disagee, the team has very good potential and is quite e good. They need practice and cricket is casting shadow on football in Domininca. If you would focus on football and give it more attention you would produce more good players. Think Thierre Henry from Guadeloupe. He would have gone nowhere if the Guadeloupans would have been playing cricket all the time :-)
