An analysis of Guyana’s U20 football programme

Guyana’s return to local shores and the subsequent praise afforded to the team for a successful campaign in the CONCACAF Men’s U20 Football Qualifiers, though justifiable, has piqued interest from many pundits in a thorough analysis of their performance.

The keyword in this analysis, which will compare the team’s performance against their previous campaigns, is perspective. After all, the team acquitted themselves well, registering a record of three wins and a loss. Their lone blemish to the hosts sealed their exit from the tournament.

In some circles of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF), the team has been credited, as best to ever to represent Guyana at this age group due to their results and overall success. In a results-driven environment, the aforementioned record might present a valid and justifiable case for such a proclamation.
