its hard to win a game when you travel with a seven man team and the ref. in your ass. I agree that the home court should favour its players but then the fouls has to be distributed fairly. I could be wrong but check the stats.
I AGREE WITH YOU .i WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE NATIONAL TEAM ,IN PARTICULAR THE COACHING.iT IS TRUE THAT OUR PLAYERS HAVE A LOT TO BE DESIRED BUT THE COACHING OF THE TEAM IN THE FIRST GAME WAS PRETTY SHAMEFUL.wHY WOULD YOU PLAY A ZONE DEFENSE WHEN YOU HAVE A 12 MAN SQUAD AS APPOSE TO A 6 MAN aNTIGUAN SQUAD.bY HALF TIME THE GAME SHOULD BE OVER.rEMEMBERING ALSO THAT THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE THE BEST PLAYERS FROM DOMINICA AGAINST A CLUB TEAM FROM ANTIGUA.WHATB WOULD HAVE HAPPEN IF ANTIGUA HAD A FULL SQUAD?WE HAVE TO LEARN TO PLAY MULTIPLE DEFENSES AND PLAY OUR OFFENSE AGAINST WHAT THE DEFENSE IS GIVING YOU.oUR PLAYER SELECTION AND OUR COACHING STAFF SHPOULD BE REVIEWED!AS WAS SEEN bLAZERS A CLUB TEAM DID A MUCH BETTER JOB,WITH DIFFERENT COACHING STYLES.
cOME ON MICKEY TAKE A BACK SEAT AND LET SOME OF THE OTHER COACHES ON ISLAND DO THE JOB >yoUR TIME HAS ELAPSED.I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THEY CAN DO A BETTER JOB IN TEAM PREPARATION AND COACHING AT GAME TIME.yOIU MAY BE AGOOD MANAGE BUT CERTAINLY NOT A GOOD COACH.
mickey dislike ur comment… but what you are stating is true…
