After Swaziland what next for Sierra Leone’s Leone Stars?

Witnessing the Sierra Leone national team, Leone Stars, on home ground was not impressive enough to repose confidence in them.  The first half was impressive enough to have put them ahead of the visitors.  This was the half that showed team work and control of the game. T he referee robbed our boys of a clear penalty against the visitors for some reason known to the referee who overruled it.

The second half actually showed how disorganized our boys were.  There was no team work and the visitors narrowly missed many chances that would have seen them victorious.

I am not familiar with most of the players or the new coach strategy, but whatever tutelage was given to the Leone Stars seemed poor.

I am a strong advocate for our boys playing in foreign teams.  I think the coaches and trainers need to look at teamwork other than individual skills.  I might be wrong but permit me to say that from the eye of a footballer and one that would want to see victory for the Leone Stars, our strategy has to be changed.

The Leone Stars have to be more aggressive for goals than just being defensive.  More team work that requires a fast moving forward is required than a midfield that depends on back passes to their goalie.

The goalkeeper did not have any threat except once in the entire match but did show an acrobatic save that put him ahead for placement in future matches.

I would say congratulation Leone Stars for qualifying into the next stage but more would be needed to raise your standard to stay in the race.
