Amistosos: vs. Honduras, enero 18 (R) (News, etc...)

Bottom line, utilero lost a lot of the respect he had rightfully earned the past couple of weeks.

In regards, to the game, Wanderers saved my weekend by winning the derby.

 

I didn't watch the game but I've been reading comments and summaries of it and all that I can gather is that this game was a lot like:

-The game we lost vs Paraguay.
-The game we lost vs Israel.
-The game we lost vs Turkey.

We need to fucking STOP losing these games. Is it any good to impose such a quick pace if its gonna end up biting us in the ass every time our defense is vulnerable?

I feel we are not progressing. Bielsa HAS to take note of this.

 

We left one small major factor, we played with 10 players since the 35th minute of 1st half.

 

Post in the Wanderers thread now, will you?!

God dammit!

 

Had to drive to Virginia and back to Houston... I've been disconnected with everything futbol related for the past two weeks

 

Hugh that sucks. Right before I came to Chile I took a bus from Daytona Beach to New York City. Thought it would be a "nice" experience. It was the worst 24 hours of my life.

 

I think the press is to blame for the shit talking both Chilean and Honduras press, controversy is their goal and and they got it.

I was at the game. Great crowd I would say 90-95% Full Stadium.

First half Chile deserved more and I would even venture to say the deserved to be ahead by at least one. Chile players abused individual play to showcase skill, I believe this was their biggest mistake, they should noticed that the Honduran lineup was also a technically full squad as well. Rough play was a hopeless reaction that made the game ugly at times(mostly form Chile). Honduras experiment of Mario Beata and Eric Norales did not work. They made too many rookie mistakes in the first half, way too much back passing that absolutely failed and put Valladares in constant danger.
Second half they improved but if Chile woulda had Humberto Suazo they woulda easily scored in the first half.

Second half the expected changes were made, Pavon to give power and strength up front. Dani Turcios in the midfield to finish the forward projection, and Hendry Thomas to block that hole in the middle. honduras deserved more then 2 Goals in the second half. Boneike improved and combined better with Hendry and Turcios

In conclusion it was a fair result although Chile coulda of earned a goal but in football you don't earn you score.


(I posted this in CA thread but I thought it be nice if you guys saw the view from some one that was in the Stadium)

This is very true, sometimes I feel that when these players get a chance to show off in the National Team they take it too personally and want to run over opposition all by themselves...which usually backfires horribly.

If we are going to have these friendlies with alternative players, Bielsa should warn these kids before the match starts, remind them that this is a team sport.

 

Ahí nomas la barra...veo mejores barras Chilenas en partidos de tenis.

 

I don't really wanna be a... "metido" here but, why did you end up playing with 10?

 

If the ref was any better we should have ended with 9!

 

Yeah, but one problem i saw was that y'all wanted to play at our speed and that is what brought y'all down, i think a more technical style would have probably neutralized us, that is what Mexico does...

 

I think the main problem was many of these guys wanted to show off in front of Bielsa so they would get called to the NT. They tried to get past the defenders on their own...in the end it backfired.

Had we played as a team I think we could have closed this match in the first half and the players wouldn't have gone mental after being one goal down...

 

If there's something wrong with the way we play it's probably that we play with TOO MUCH speed. There's no balance and it leads to crucial mistakes at the back.

Oh well, a friendly's a friendly... still, nobody likes to lose. Can we stop calling guys like Acevedo, Millar, Fuenzalida and Cereceda to the NT please?

 

Didn't you see the game?

Fuenzalida fouled some player.

 

Out of these four Fuenzalida and Cereceda will return.

Can someone please tell me where I can find the complete game to see once again. I tried looking in rojadirect.org and justintv but no luck.

 

If There is something I(maybe all other Hondurans) take pride in is our speed, and if y'all rewatch the game you can see how tryin' to be cracks and instead of stopping us, Chileans wanted to be faster than us,that failed and is where the 1st goal came from, and the second thanx to our young prospect Marvin Chavez...our speed is hard to match...

I dunno, I think...yeah, thats it, i think i was tryin' to be sarcastic... just maybeee...

 

So 2 out of the 3 articles kinda (not conclusively) prove your point.
This is supposed to represent all Chilean press/journalism?
Not to mention that the Austral Temuco is barely read outside its city (Temuco).
La Nacion is also not really popular, but that's beside the point.

 

But I read them and they didnt disrespect Honduras at all
One said that Honduras was kind of unknown but thats as bad as it gets and thats hardly disrespecting Honduras.

 

Yeh but normally someone is sarcastic to prove a point. You said
"I don't really wanna be a... "metido" here but, why did you end up playing with 10?" , that was kind of random thats y
