Boyce said the intensity, compressed schedule and unfamiliar climate exposed shortcomings in preparation and conditioning. He also credited the squad’s discipline and support for one another. These are the coach’s assessments, rather than medical findings or an independent performance audit.

He called for longer preparation, regular matches against different playing styles and closer cooperation among the TTFA, schools, clubs, academies and coaches. He proposed using more small-sided, high-intensity football in local youth development.
