Caught the second half of the temple/Sapp game yesterday. I heard, as Freestyler states, that Sapp was unfortunately not to be up at half. However, during second half (the trend with temple) Temple seemed to wake up and put on some pressure. They were able to bag one goal but missed a couple of great chances to put the game away. In the last 15 they fell apart and Sapp and their vetern team finished them off. Although in the write up it may seem temple deserved some points, I really think that Sapp played the game well and were full marks for the 3points. And I really do think experience and poise paid off for Sapp.
Temple has a great amount of skill and speed and if they can put it together for a full 60 minutes and then they will be a dangerous team for anyone in the league to play. However, individual skill and speed does not win games in premier and the coach has not been able to get them to play with poise and structure. Once they do that, the points will come in. In my opinion a couple of bad subs by the coach in the 2nd half really hurt the team. Also, and it is only my humble but critical opinion, if the coach can't get points with this very very talented squad...something is wrong with the coach. This team made up 65% of the 2006 Team India nations cup sqaud that won the tournament. They should not be 0-2-2 in premier.
Also caught some of the metro ford/Akal game. 1-0 Metro-ford. I really do like the metro ford team...despite what mid-pack record shows, I think they will go far this season.
