I think that we are maybe a little further ahead of where we thought we were. Apart from Pat Noonan, I didn't really see anybody breaking down fitness-wise. The first thing that goes is the legs and then the brain but we didn't really see that.
"Paul Mariner" is an English Association football/football Coach (sport)/coach and retired player. He was most recently the head coach and technical director at Major League Soccer club Toronto FC, until his dismissal in January 2013.
A centre forward during his playing days, Mariner began his career with Chorley F.C./Chorley. He became a professional player in 1973 with Plymouth Argyle F.C./Plymouth Argyle, where he scored 61 goals in 155 appearances and is considered to be one of the club's best players. He joined Ipswich Town F.C./Ipswich Town in 1976, where he achieved domestic and European success under the guidance of Bobby Robson. He was called up to play for the England national football team/England national team during his time at Portman Road, and went on to represent his country at the UEFA Euro 1980/1980 European Championships and the 1982 FIFA World Cup/1982 World Cup. He spent two years with Arsenal F.C./Arsenal and then Portsmouth F.C./Portsmouth before finishing his career abroad. He played for clubs in Australia, the United States, and Malta.
More Paul Mariner on Wikipedia.We had some good sights at goal last night and would like think we could have put one of those away but it didn't happen. I firmly believe that we will create chances down there and we need to be clinical with them.
Do we think that Pat, Taylor and Clint can score goals? Yes, absolutely and so does the rest of the league. The law of averages says that we're going to score goals.
(Rolando) Fonseca, who plays high, and (Wilmer) Lopez, who sorts out on the right but then drifts inside. The movement can cause a problem and we need to be alert and aware of that. (Brian) Ruiz also had a very good game when I saw them. They are just a very good unit with good, steady players.
We haven't conceded a goal in the two matches we've played. Yes, we've only scored one but the signs are bright for us. It's unusual for a Revolution team not to score any goals and that's why, I think, people are making a point of it and quite right too.
Players need confidence. Playing for your country is no different from going from high school to college or from college to MLS. There are different tiers of international soccer too, from the so-called also-rans through the middle group up to the teams that can win the World Cup. It's a little quicker, players are a little faster, the passing is better and the timing of the runs is more acute.
