Acting as an official in any match, I personally don't speak to the players during the match at all. Homer is right, it appears as inappropriate behavior. I save all my compliments until the match is over.
It's always a good idea to get to know the coach and some of the players before the match. Introduce yourself, and inform them that the game will begin on time or be delayed due to such and such. Show confidence and knowledge of the rules enforced. Go over what you will be looking for, what is acceptable and unacceptable ball contacts.
