Marcel was speaking at the hotel dining hall after
returning from the second game against the USA in which The Gambia again
conceded its second highest goals in the tournament 6-nil to the USA on Tuesday
night at the Delga Arena. Mr Mendy said by his observation “things are not
going well and a lot of things need to be improved upon”.

He attributed the defeat to lack of experience and
basic skills lacking in the team. He further said the USA team players are
better composed and fit than The Gambia, who despite benefiting from an
international training camp, did not show well at the FIFA tournament.
He however thanked the girls for their efforts,
saying: “It’s their first showing in a World Cup and the GFA is watching events
throughout to be corrected for future development of our football.”
“The GFA is very concerned about what is happening
but also very saddened about the outcome of the game, perhaps the girls did
their best but let’s hope that we can get at least points from our last group
game on Saturday against France.”
