[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s obvious that no one is going over the synchronized movements and proper positioning to maintain a compact, organized defense. As a poster above me said, they’re clearly just being told what essentially amounts to “you’re gonna line up at xyz, go play” when it comes to roles and assignments [/quote]

Yeah, I'm sure the coaches don't bother with, you know, coaching. 
It has nothing to do with having a back like that has barely played together getting used to each other.

I can the the staff of the US team reading these comments right now and taking notes. [/quote]

You are just parroting what US "soccer" media says when you blame the back line.  As for the coaching, the guy who currently runs the team was an assistant coach on the coaching staff that mangled the qualifying campaign and even managed to lose to T&T's B team.  In other words, we have the same incompetent coaching crew (minus Bruce Almighty) that sunk this ship in 2017.   [/quote]

I’m not the OP of the back line comment, but he has a good point, whether it’s a media copy or not.  It takes a while playing together for players to get on the same page.  That has nothing to do with coaching and everything to do with chemistry.  It sounds like you’ve never played a team sport let anyone soccer. [/quote]

At the team national level, if a team is disorganized, the primary fault is with the coaches, because they select players and provide them with tactical instructions.   To say otherwise, deflects the responsibility.  This coaching staff had the team for over a year so I am not buying the excuse that the players were not together long enough and need to gel.   This is recreational soccer mentality.  Also, it is stupid to blame the back line for a loss in a game, where we were under siege for most of the game, had no midfield play and struggled to maintain possession and create chances (only 2 shots on goal in the entire game).    The narrative that the loss was the fault of four defenders. because they did not play long together, simply deflects the responsibility away from coaching staff and the federation.  [/quote]
