In response to some of the comments made,as a Hurricane player. thought we should give some insight
1) We started the game missing and resting a lot of our guys. Our centre mid played center back. Our left mid played left back. All of our role players played and some of our started didn’t start.
2) Campo tried to play and had three in the back. We exposed them over and over. If they wanted to they could have left 8 behind the ball but they kept wanting to play and kept getting exposed. Normally a team would adjust but they didn’t. They did not have any coaching on the sidelines. None of their players cared. At half time they were laughing.
3) This is the Prem league. The highest league in amateur soccer in the Province. This is not div 2 or div 3 or beer league or kids soccer. We are all men playing in this league. In La Liga Barcalona and Madrid hammer teams 8–0. 9-1. They don’t stop becuase they shouldn’t run up the score or apply the mercy rule. At any point Campo could have told the ref to stop the game. They didn’t. They kept playing and so did we. We asked the linesman if they wanted to stop and they did not.
4) At half time we put a central defender to play upfront and moved guys around to positions they don’t normally play.
5). I agree with Gilly. The league should consider dropping the number of teams in Prem. It is watered down.
6) We don’t apologize for the score line. Yes we felt sorry for the Campo players as they had no structure, no guidance, no system. However this is a competitive league. At Nationals, Yukon lost 11-0 to Manitoba. They didn’t decide to let up. As players we just want to play. Winning a game 17-1 is not fun. We are competitors and just compete regardless of the opponent and score.
