The Weekend Preview - 22nd November

0
We had the much awaited friendly with Argentina on Wednesday of course, a game which ended in a 1-0 win for the visitors. It's wasn't a great game, truth be told, though the goal by Maxi Rodriguez was a cracker. The score line surprised us; we had feared the scoreline would have reflected the South American's dominance in the game, but like we said earlier on in the week, Argentina ain't all that and a bag of chips.

Dull Days Ahead

0
More interesting than the SPL? Are we right to predict a dull season in the top flight? I think so. We know before a ball is kicked that its going to be a two horse race but we can hope that one of the "diddy" teams will make enough of an early run to cling to the green and blue coat tails for a time.

Three points is three points I suppose. But tonight's game unlike last months qualifier in Guatemala City has me very concerned about the state of play regarding the US Team. Against a side that in its own stadium last month gave up three relatively quick goals to Trinidad and Tobago, the US had to grind out a result again dependent on some clutch goalkeeping and quite frankly some mistakes by the Cuban team.
