Easy, possession. Other teams swing the ball around and probe looking for an opening. We just grab the ball from the opponent run down the field at break neck speed and instead of shooting in the final third, decide THEN to pass the ball around looking for the perfect shot and get stripped.
Our style worked at first without possession because everyone took shots when presented the opportunity but we are taking 1 too many touches in front of the goal.
The Morroccan goal came off a breakaway which was due to bad coaching as our coach pushed up all of our defenders except the smallest two whom were somehow left to defend 4 players. The ball was fed to a wide open Morrocan side who had time to force our keeper flatfooted and finish him off. And before that play even happened the coach had taken off one of our larger defenders who was dominating the game.
Still over all teams just pass around us keeping the ball. If we ever learned how to keep possession of the ball we would improve, I believe we are going to be embarrassed. Friedel was our ticket to fame.........
