Good morning to all in the good old USA! I hope all is well. So, this morning we had our second game in group stage against Great Britain. We did not play particularly well the entire game, and for some reason we lacked focus for 90 minutes. However, we hung in against a very tall and extremely physical team. With about 6 minutes remaining in the game and the score still 0:0, we made a tactical decision to go from our 3 back defensive line, to a 4 back line in order to hold the score at 0:0 and get out with a draw and get the one point. With 4 minutes remaining we gave up a corner from the left side and they sent in a ball to their 6'5" striker who was left unmarked and headed it home on our near post to make the score 1:0 for Great Britain. We then pushed forward to try and get the equalizer, but with about 30 seconds remaining, we hit a great shot from distance that hit the post and the game ended at 1:0 for Great Britain. We are now in exactly the same situation we found ourselves in before our final group stage game against Mexico in 2013. We had to win to advance to the quarter finals and we did and the rest was history. Our backs are again against the wall and all we need to do is win to get to the quarter finals. We certainly can do it, but we have remain concentrated and focused for 90 minutes, because Australia is very similar to Great Britain in size and in how they play both offensively and defensively. If we play simple and let the ball work for us with runs wide and off the ball, we will win the game. We just have to focus on the task at hand in this all or nothing game. We play Australia at 9:00 am, on the same small field we have been playing on in Bait Vagan. So, until tomorrow I will say goodbye for now with hopes that I will be writing tomorrow about our victory and securing our quarter final spot. Take care all, Coach G.
