Lacks good ball control, and tries to play outside of himself by dribbling too much. Not skilled enough to be a flashy player but makes an effort to try things that make you scratch your head.<br />A good player in the WCP fold but not a top player that you need to worry about. Dwayne is there and he'll do his job and sometimes do the job for the other team. <br /><br />Not as highly ranked as Big Nathan Reis would like to rank him, but not the worst player in the tournament. <br /><br />Keys to success for Dwayne: <br />Keep the game very simple. Don't try to do much with the ball.<br />5.5/10Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057172811780038014.post-80758081430834875142013-03-18T12:50:50.176-07:002013-03-18T12:50:50.176-07:00I get there are a ton of hacks in this tourney and...I get there are a ton of hacks in this tourney and the WCP game is not one that you will watch and the phrase "beautiful soccer" will not come to mind. But there still are a ton of quality players playing in WCP. If I had to make a list as to who I think are the top 5 hardest players to defend in the tourney and for what reasons here are mine:<br /><br />1) Brett Levis: <br />Strengths: lightning quick, slender but his core strength is amazing, best one on one player in the province and in can west/CIS. If he plays he is hands down the best player in the tourney. Most fans know he is good, but unless you actually play against Brett you don't realize how good he is. If he keeps progressing and continues to work and wants to he can play beyond university without a doubt.<br />Weakness: he gets fouled a lot as he is on the ball tons and he at times can let it bother him. Tends at times to get tunnel vision as he is programmed to attack and score.<br /><br />2)David Brown: <br />Strengths: Not only does he have a rocket but his accuracy is spot on. He also has size and is deceptiviely fast. He is best best pure striker I have played with or against. He only needs a second and the ball is banged into the back of the net. Once again, if you were able to train or practice with Brown you would understand how much quality he has at scoring goals.<br />Weakness: Has been known to be lazy. His off the ball work rate is not enough. Also recovering from a major knee injury so that is a major weakness as well.<br /><br />3)Tong Tong: <br />Strenghts: He is the best in the air striker in the tourney. Being good in the air as an attacker is not just winning headers. It is being able to score goals by properly timing and making good impact. It also helps that he is at least 6 foot 4. He is also a physical player and tough to knock off the ball.<br />Weakness: he is not nearly as skilled as the other strikers with the ball at his feet. He is capable but in this tourney he does not need to be that type of player.<br /><br />4) Tavis: <br />Strengths: Arguably the best dribbler in WCP. He can make something out of nothing. Jarvis his teammate is pure quality, but Tavis to me is almost as important to that team as he is their offense.<br />Weakness: He tends to go missing in games. I am not familiar enough with him to know if it is a work rate problem, but I find I watch Canada play and he does not show up as much as he could. <br /><br />5)Josip..<br />Strenths: his patience with the ball at his feet is great. He will set up a defender and or a goalie and make them look foolish. He has a great left foot and it is by no accident that he scores a lot of goals as he is a very good player.<br />Weakness: He is slender and not physical so he can be pushed off the ball. He has a temper and it can cause him to play poorly.<br /><br />DGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057172811780038014.post-7868245864873203472013-03-18T12:06:49.876-07:002013-03-18T12:06:49.876-07:00Garrett Peters is another player that should be ge...Garrett Peters is another player that should be getting mentioned.

In no particular order. <br /><br />1) Reis Cooper. He does a little big of everything for Norway. He also has the experience in WCP. <br /><br />2) Mike Veszi as previous mentioned in another post he plays heavy minutes on a good team and is important to their back end. <br /><br />3) Nathan Reis. Contrary to those who believe he is a "big" man he is not. Finds ways to score and is reliable on the field.<br /><br />4) Guy from France that is from Yorkton I believe (can't remember name). He is shifty and quick. Not Leon but the other guy who played on the wing I believe. <br /><br />5) Mitch Bauche. He is younger and many may not know him yet, but he is extremely skilled.<br /><br />6) Steve Irinici. Very skilled in the midfield and not easy to knock off the ball.<br /><br />7) Guy from Germany if he is playing again (can't remember his name, I think he is friends with Dave Brown). He played well in the quarters last year against ROI. He is a good dribbler and will be their offensive threat.<br /><br />8) Dane Mcdougall. I think he may surprise a lot of people this year with his all around game and ability to attack guys.<br /><br />9) Rolfe. I love the way Rolfe plays. He is slight but can anyone forget his back heel goal last year? He is a quality player.<br /><br />10)Boun. He is always someone you have to account for on the wing. He draws a lot of fouls and has good pace.<br /><br />DGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057172811780038014.post-43770206217555421502013-03-18T10:44:22.642-07:002013-03-18T10:44:22.642-07:00David Brown is easily the best player in the tourn...David Brown is easily the best player in the tournament.
