Following an end to a disappointing display against one of North America’s sides, Mexico, the coach alluded to his team’s loss in a post-game interview to defensive errors, which made coming back from two goals down very difficult.
“The balance is if you don’t cope well enough in that period then at least you’ve got to be secure enough and not give away goals,” he said.
“I thought both the goals that we conceded, I think from our point of view were two poor defensive goals.”
“Then it became an uphill battle and I think we rallied around a little bit and I think in that final period of the game, you know, I saw a good effort from the players in trying to get back into the game.
“I think it was it from that stage it was going to be very difficult.” he ended.
