Last week we played against Equador and I promised to make a section for tactics. I've seen the match then and I can make a tactic after a match but that isn't fair. This week I will tell how I would play against Dominica. There will also be a list of banned and injured players.
Today we play against Republica Dominica, some info then :)
❏ Info about República Dominicana.
The Dominican Republic (Spanish: República Dominicana, pronounced [reˈpuβlika ðominiˈkana]) is a nation on the island of Hispaniola, part of the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean region. The western third of the island is occupied by the nation of Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands that are shared by two countries. Both by area and population, the Dominican Republic is the second largest Caribbean nation (after Cuba), with 48,442 square kilometres (18,704 sq mi) and an estimated 10 million people.
Inhabited by Taínos since the seventh century, the territory of the Dominican Republic was reached by Christopher Columbus in 1492 and became the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Americas, namely Santo Domingo, the country's capital and Spain's first capital in the New World. In Santo Domingo stand, among other firsts in the Americas, the first university, cathedral, and castle, the latter two in the Ciudad Colonial area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After three centuries of Spanish rule, with French and Haitian interludes, the country became independent in 1821 but was quickly taken over by Haiti. Victorious in the Dominican War of Independence in 1844, Dominicans experienced mostly political turmoil and a brief return to Spanish rule over the next 72 years. The United States occupation of 1916–1924, and a subsequent, calm and prosperous six-year period under Horacio Vásquez Lajara, were followed by the dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina until 1961. The civil war of 1965, the country's last, was ended by a U.S.-led intervention, and was followed by the authoritarian rule of Joaquín Balaguer, 1966 – 1978. Since then, the Dominican Republic has moved toward representative democracy, and has been led by Leonel Fernández for most of the time after 1996.
The Dominican Republic has the second largest economy in the Caribbean. Though long known for sugar production, the economy is now dominated by services. The country's economic progress is exemplified by its advanced telecommunication system. Nevertheless, unemployment, government corruption, and inconsistent electric service remain major Dominican problems. The country also has "marked income inequality".
International migration greatly affects the country, as it receives and sends large flows of migrants. Haitian immigration and the integration of Dominicans of Haitian descent are major issues; the total population of Haitian origin is estimated to be 800,000. A large Dominican diaspora exists, most of it in the United States, where it comprises 1.3 million. They aid national development as they send billions of dollars to their families, accounting for one-tenth of the Dominican GDP.
The Dominican Republic has become the Caribbean's largest tourist destination; the country's year-round golf courses are among the top attractions.] In this mountainous land is located the Caribbean's highest mountain, Pico Duarte, as is Lake Enriquillo, the Caribbean's largest lake and lowest elevation. Quisqueya, as Dominicans often call their country, has an average temperature of 26 °C (78.8 °F) and great biological diversity.
Music and sport are of the highest importance in Dominican culture, with merengue as the national dance and song and baseball the favorite sport.
❏ Geography
The Dominican Republic is situated on the eastern part of the second-largest island in the Greater Antilles, Hispaniola. It shares the island roughly at a 2:1 ratio with Haiti. The country's area is reported variously as 48,442 km² (by the embassy in the United States)[2] and 48,730 km² (by the U.S. CIA), ) making it the second largest country in the Antilles, after Cuba. The country's capital and greatest metropolitan area, Santo Domingo, is located on the southern coast.
There are many small offshore islands and cays that are part of the Dominican territory. The two largest islands near shore are Saona, in the southeast, and Beata, in the southwest. To the north, at distances of 100–200 kilometres (62–124 mi), are three extensive, largely submerged banks, which geographically are a southeast continuation of the Bahamas: Navidad Bank, Silver Bank, and Mouchoir Bank. Navidad Bank and Silver Bank have been officially claimed by the Dominican Republic.
The country's mainland has four important mountain ranges. The most northerly is the Cordillera Septentrional ("Northern Mountain Range"), which extends from the northwestern coastal town of Monte Cristi, near the Haitian border, to the Samaná Peninsula in the east, running parallel to the Atlantic coast. The highest range in the Dominican Republic — indeed, in the whole of the West Indies — is the Cordillera Central ("Central Mountain Range"). It gradually bends southwards and finishes near the town of Azua, on the Caribbean coast. In the Cordillera Central are found the four highest peaks in the Caribbean: Pico Duarte (3,098 metres / 10,164 feet) above sea level), La Pelona (3,094 metres / 10,151 feet), La Rucilla (3,049 metres / 10,003 feet) and Pico Yaque (2,760 metres / 9,055 feet).
❏ Climate
The climate of the Dominican Republic is mostly tropical. The annual average temperature is 25 °C (77 °F). At higher elevations, the temperature averages 18 °C (64.4 °F) while near sea level the average temperature is 28 °C (82.4 °F). Low temperatures of 0 °C (32 °F) are possible in the mountains while high temperatures of 40 °C (104 °F) are possible in protected valleys. January and February are the coldest months of the year, while August is the hottest month. Some snowflakes can fall in rare occasions on the top of the Pico Duarte.
The wet season along the northern coast lasts from November through January. Elsewhere, the wet season stretches from May through November, with May being the wettest month. Average annual rainfall is 1,500 millimetres (59.1 in) countrywide, with individual locations in the Valle de Neiba seeing averages as low as 350 millimetres (13.8 in) while the Cordillera Oriental averages 2,740 millimetres (107.9 in). The driest portion of the country lies in the west. Tropical cyclones impact the country every couple of years, with 65 percent of the impacts along the southern coast. Hurricanes are most likely between August and October.[54] The last time a category 5 hurricane struck the country was Hurricane David in 1979.

Would be great to be there, it's cold and wet in The Netherlands.

❏ Earlier encounters
Cyprus never played against Republica Dominica.
❏ Current ranking of Cyprus
1141.81 place 75 nine places higher then Republica Dominica.
1 place lower and 64,11 points lower then last week.
❏ Banned and injured
República Dominicana U21:
Injured:Adrian Montaño slightly injured
Red card:Lupo Polanco
Kypros U21:
Injured:none
Red card:none
❏ Tactic
I'm not that good with explaining things but I will do my best.
It seems that their manager is not one of the greatest tactical genius. Usually he is playing with RD.04, there are a lot of flaws in this tactic. Players are to spread out and the defenders are way to low. Also their is a gap between there offence and defence.
My tactic would be a 4-2-1-1-2 or, 4 Defenders, 2 DEFmid, one central mid (in the gap between offence/defence) one winger and 2 strikers, right between there three defs.
The 4 defs should stop there attackers, I will not place them to wide, because they don't play with wingers. The 2 def mid's should be the first line of defence after they captured the ball they can pass it to the free man in the center or the winger. But short passing should be the key here, because we dont have the best players in the world and short passing is much easier for them.
If the winger gets the ball he probably wont get much recistance, because the DEFs of Dominica are static and don't move with the ball. Only for and backward, not sideways. If the winger gets a ball few balls to the ATT there could be a goal or two. The two strikers should get some room because they play between there defence. Wich consists only of three DEFS, but there defence is quite strong. avoiding there DEF-MIDs is a key part, but you know where they are. And managing this is not that hard.
Not the hardest tactic to beat and I should be really confident of beating Republica Dominica.
I would would play almost like Cuba did, only the middle DEFMID would be placed as a DEF.

bah ! i dont like this miss, poor country !
Yeap! I agree!
Quite good analysis by Gadfly! I would play the same way he suggests, but most probably I would put two midfielders in the center to get clear advantage of opponents gap.
