SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras- The [British] Virgin Islands Women’s Football Team had a rough start to their campaign in the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers, going down 0-14 to a ruthless Cuba at the Francisco Morazan Stadium in Honduras yesterday, Saturday, February 19, 2022.

The young and inexperienced team simply had no answer to the dominant play of their more experienced counterparts and were unable to stop the goal-fest that ensued.

Cuba’s Yeranis Lee tallied six goals in the 14-0 victory of the Group E affair.

Lee scored in the 26’, 32’, 39’, 56’, 63’ and 83’ and was joined on the scoresheet by Rachel Pelaez, who notched a hat trick (10’, 23’, 45’). Also joining the goal-scoring action were Eliane Valdez (57’, 79’), Maria Perez (68’), Yerly Palma (77’) and Eunises Nunez (87’).

The VI women will now be looking to get over the crushing defeat and put on a much better showing against hosts Honduras on Tuesday, February 22, 2022.

    For all the fire callers go fire you tails, hiney burro. Do you guys know anything besides softball. Have any of you ever played the game. You believe without proper development from young to include teams and league you can just go and compete? Well it’s a competition but actually compete means to be on a certain standard. Btw what have any of you done to help uplift the sport besides blog on the defeat? Nothing nada zilch. Your call for sacking has no foundation so go siddung.

      Truly I am a born bv islander

      And truly and it is sad to say. A lot of people love to comment negative things than good


      Take a look at positive posted on any news site of Facebook or any social media forum and look at the blogs

      Than compare to blogs of those have a shooting, fight murder or other.


      People love violence and negative things.


      Truly mankind heart has gone cold and wicked.


      Ignore the negative people and they way if thinking and encourage the ladies to practice more and do more internal meets in other Caribbean region as the these matches are done.


      The key to success is continuous practice.


      Football is not a know sport and it will take months if not years to get to Cuba or Brazil level.


      But we can do this GO TEAM BVI

    Know y’all that Cuba is tough to beat in many sports. Our young ladies are just that, young and do not have the experience of the more seasoned Cuban team. Keep honing your skills, study the game and train hard. YOU WILL DO BETTER THE NEXT SEASON THE QUALIFIERS COME AROUND. NEXT 4 YEARS PERHAPS.
    Best of luck in the future
