Panama vs. Guadeloupe June 7, 2011

Guadeloupe possible line up against Panama.

Grandel - Tacalfred, Viator, S.Zubar, Comminges - Gamiette - Loval, Fleurival, Auvray (c), Clavier - Socrier

2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup
First round
July 5th : Group C (Oakland Stadium) : Guadeloupe - Panama 2-1
Loïc Loval, David Fleurival for Guadeloupe. Nelson Barahona for Panama.

 

Come on Boys lets kick off the tournament with a win over Guadeloupe and get some revenge for the 2-1 loss last tournament. I Think Panama can make it out of the group and hopefully they play well enough to do so. It'll be tough but not impossible.

 

Part of me is rooting for Panama because of all the Colombian League connections.

Revenge against Guadeloupe should be fine motivation but that team is a hard nut to crack.

I am thinking a 1-1 tie but hope Panama wins.

 

vamos panama!!!! vamos a ganar!!!!

 

A captivating affair so far! The full house is totally into it! http://keepslive.com/live.php?v=event_id=51413&tid=183321&channel=0&layout=popup&Itemid=207.html

 

Not sure about that red. Was it deliberate?

 

Not sure it was a red too but the ref does not have the luxury of watching a bunch of replays. I can see why it looked to him that the player was deliberately trying to step on his leg.


So far so good for Panama. It is set up for them to get the three points. I am happy for them and the former Colombian League players who have scored so far.

 

not a surprising call, but a good ref would have given a yellow...it is concacaf after all

 

Man that was an ugly victory I am happy we escaped with 3 big points but the end of that match was rough to watch as a Panamanian supporter. Props to Guadeloupe for fighting until the end when they could have easily folded being 3 down they have proven to be a fiesty opponent the last couple Gold Cup's.

We have the USA next (I cheer for both as I am a dual citizen) and I don't know if we match up too well with them but if we can pull out a point from our next couple matches we really have a chance to advance. Most likely it will come down to our match with Canada for second place in the group. Anyways Viva Panama!!! Ugly but hey we got the three crucial points!

 

Happy for the 3 pts. but gosh what a way to almost give the game away by our backline, especially the young buck Dasent..

Dasent definitely looked shook out there, need Roman Torres back in a hurry on that Dline, in a hurry. and hopefully Machado is fine..cause if not then Cummings, another rook, will be playing, tho i'm not as worried with him as I am with Dasent.

Other than that, strikers looked good, missed some, made some.. the middle looked fine, but I insist that Barahona should be in the middle and not on the "bandas" (how u say bandas in english??) tho he does well on the bandas, just think he'd be better up the middle.

Also, thought JCDV should have put in Addles instead of Renteria...
