Add another game in September and 2 in October then I will be impressed ... It's a good start but the fact is 4 games are on offer , 2 in each window. We have to play 4 , it's as simple as that
You have an opponent to offer them? It never fails to amaze me how people like to bitch about the TTFA not scheduling games, like they could just walk into a supermarket and pick games up off the shelf.

4 matches..its World Cup time...

Excuse time done, WCQ's later this year , no more sympathy from anyone.
Get it done, 4 games of good quality, hopefully at least 1 at home in the HCS where the TTFA won't forget this time to book it and let's give the senior team a f**king chance to get the best prep for qualifiers. They deserve that.

Yes Bakes...that Supermarket is called ' Planning "...just as all other federations..these windows there for the past 2 years...even more...
4 matches..its World Cup time...
What is the state of the MNT? In a tight international window, why should one of the top teams in the region... not even the world, the region... why should they play Trinidad and Tobago, of all teams. When you have a good answer come back and tell me all about yuh "planning." Allyuh men apparently clueless as to how Trinidad is perceived by would-be opponents. Arranging a friendly is a two-way street, and 'planning' is but a very small component in that process.

It's not about excuses or mediocrity, it's about being realistic. There isn't money to host a team in Trinidad, and any team which agrees to play you abroad has to pay you. So why should a quality team spend money hosting the Soca Warriors? But it have more pokers in the fire so we'll see what fruit their efforts yield.

Despite not yet having named a new coach or officially announced a team, Mexico has recalled Spanish Primera Division players Jonathan dos Santos and Guillermo Ochoa, their respective clubs confirmed on Monday.
Mexico has yet to make an official announcement, but Villareal announced on its club website that El Tri have recalled midfielder Jonathan dos Santos for the two friendlies set for Sept. 4 vs. Trinidad-Tobago at Salt Lake City, Utah, and Sept. 8 vs. Argentina in Dallas, Texas.
Argentina's call-up includes Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez in the same squad used for Copa America.
Malaga, meanwhile, confirmed that goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa has been recalled for the matches, which are FIFA dates. Ochoa helped Mexico to Gold Cup victory.
The Mexico Football Federation on Monday announced its restructuring program at the hands of incoming president Decio De Maria, who took over for outgoing chief Justino Compean on Aug. 1.
Former national teams director Guillermo Cantu was named general secretary while Santiago Banos, former auxiliary coach to Miguel Herrera, will head up the national teams. Hector Gonzalez Inarritu will take Rafael Mancilla's post as president of the referee's committee. Banos confirmed on Tuesday that he will not be coaching in an interim role.
"It is a complex project," De Maria said during a news conference amid questions about the coaching search. "Today we can't make any comment about who will be the next coach, but we are working to improve this project."
De Maria said the federation has already done an analysis but added that the decision regarding a new coach is not being taken lightly and said coach would be contracted with the 2018 World Cup in mind.
Mexico, the 2015 Gold Cup winners, face a 2017 Confederations Cup qualifying playoff on Oct. 10 vs. the United States, which won the 2013 Gold Cup. The grudge match will be played at the Rose Bowl, in Pasadena, California.
The United States missed a chance to qualify directly for the CONCACAF region's lone Confederations Cup berth after being eliminated in Gold Cup semifinals last month. The 2017 Confederations Cup will be played in Russia.
"Our goal is to get the best project for national team direction in place," De Maria said. "We are not closing the door on an interim coach. All of us care about winning the Confederations Cup qualifying match in October and that is what we are working on. This administration's priority is to get to the World Cup and play well there."
Critics faulted Mexico's performance at the 2015 Gold Cup, where they finished second in group play and advanced to the final against Jamaica only after winning two knockout-round matches with the help of late penalty kicks awarded in controversial calls.
Two days after the win in Philadelphia, Mexico's first major tournament victory since 2011, De Maria's administration voted to sack coach Miguel Herrera after Herrera scuffled with a TV reporter who had been critical of Herrera.
Herrera told ESPN he still believes he is the best candidate for the job. Michael Laudrup, as well as former El Tri coach Ricardo La Volpe are reportedly in the picture, after Marcelo Bielsa and Jorge Sampaoli have reportedly distanced themselves from the position.

Mexican television station Televisa Deportes will have a crew in Port-of-Spain next week to record a documentary on football in T&T ahead of the September 4 international friendly between the Soca Warriors and Mexico in Utah.
Mexico and T&T has a long rivalry and recent string of impressive performances by T&T, in particular the 4-4 draw with El Tri at the CONCACAF Gold Cup has brought much interest to T&T.
Among those Televisa will feature include Everald “Gally” Cummings, Steve David, Clayton Ince, Stern John, Angus Eve, Dwight Yorke, Russell Latapy and TTFA president Raymond Tim Kee. The interviews will be conducted by Alberto Lati, a journalist and writer who has interviewed characters such as Dalai Lama, Madonna, Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Schumacher and Roger Federer.
The documentary will be aired to millions of viewers through Televisa’s main platforms in Mexico, Latin America, United States and Canada.

Mexico interim manager Ricardo Ferretti included veteran defender Rafa Marquez and omitted Giovani and Jonathan dos Santos from his 23-man squad to face Trinidad & Tobago and Argentina next month.
Tigres UANL boss Ferretti revealed his first squad since his unveiling as temporary El Tri manager on Monday. His selection drew heavily from the Mexico squads compiled for the Copa America and the CONCACAF Gold Cup as expected, but his decision to leave out the in-form dos Santos brothers ensures at least two significant changes at the start of his four-game tenure.
Villarreal midfielder Jonathan dos Santos excelled in the center of the park for Mexico during the Gold Cup last month, while LA Galaxy forward Giovani dos Santos is in the midst of a fine run of form since joining the MLS side earlier this month.
Their absences create some clarity up front -- regular selections Javier Hernández, Raul Jiménez, Oribe Peralta and Carlos Vela will vie for two berths -- and leave room for alterations in midfield. Ferretti named Tigres wingers Javier Aquino and Jesus Dueñas and FC Twente winger Jesus Corona to offer more options in the wide areas, while Luis Montes returns to the side to strengthen the central midfield choices.
Marquez is perhaps the most notable change in defense. The seasoned Hellas Verona defender captained Mexico at the Copa America and missed out on the Gold Cup triumph. His restoration ensures plenty of options in the heart of the back four with Héctor Moreno and Francisco Rodriguez both included as well.
Ferretti made his most sweeping changes in goal with Club América goalkeeper Moises Muñoz and Toluca starter Alfredo Talavera preferred to Gold Cup number Guillermo Ochoa and regular number two Jesus Corona. Ochoa has not featured for Spanish side Malaga in league play this season.
This group will hope to use the upcoming friendlies against T&T (Sept. 4 in Sandy, Utah) and Argentina (Sept. 8 in Arlington, Texas) to prepare for Confederations Cup playoff against USA on Oct. 10 in Pasadena, Calif.

Cyah see the 2 playing without serious club drama fallout and subsequent player persecution.
Time for Carlysle Mitchell to be reassessed since his recovery
Jonathan Glenn & Rundell Winchester need a taste of the ball as strikers.
Struggling Guerra has to be told this is it! Produce!!!! ... and 2nd to last chance to show the pedigree that Big Mag saw in you.
This will be a HIGH profile game on prime time American and Central American TV
Our gradually recovering but fragile brand is at stake
On the one hand we must experiment but our future progress will be determined by how much we instill fear and demand respect from our future opponents
Therefore we cyah afford to overuse green players to be eaten alive in a 80,000 sold-out stadiumt teeming with fanatical tricoloristas in in behind-God-back UTAH with only 3 Trini juhseys in de crowd..
Fellas, Mexico bringing out dey navy seals. We hadda be ready for this one
Good luck BraveHart. Hope you sign a respectful contract so you can get what you want as you have more leverage now to demand what you want and insist on your staffers geyyin' paid.

Those guys have to get their passports first. Plus they must make themselves available. I can tell you that those who say they are interested in public to play for T&T are consistent in the actions. The coaches are on it and have contact or scouted EVERYONE that has been raised as a potential naturalized player with promise.

This not a bad side. Apart from KJ, JJ, who else is missing. Let's hope he give J. Glenn a run, and we will see if he ready for prime time. These "fringe" players will need to step up and impress the coach that they deserve to be on the team. And playing against a top rank team like Mex. you can't ask for anything better.

T&T Guardian Reports.
Soca Warriors coach Stephen Hart has recalled the quartet of Marcus Joseph, Trevin Caesar, Gavin Hoyte and Neveal Hackshaw to the national team for Friday’s international friendly against Concacaf powerhouse Mexico at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Salt Lake, Utah, from 10 pm.
It will be the second meeting between both teams in less than two months after their 4-4 Group C draw at the Concacaf Gold Cup on July 15, which has been described as the best ever match in the tournament’s history. The quartet who were not part of the T&T team which reached the quarterfinals of tournament will now have their chance to impress coach Hart after being named in the 20-man T&T squad announced by Hart at a media conference held at the T&T Football Association’s head office at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo, yesterday.
In the recent past, the 24-year-old Joseph, who has played seven times for the senior national team and is now attached to T&T Pro League champions Central FC after leading the frontline for Pt Fortin FC for a number years to great effect was said to be overlooked for national selection because of indiscipline.
However according to Hart, both him and the La Brea-born striker player, the 2013/2014 Pro League “Golden Boot” winner have held discussions and Joseph knows what is expected of him if he wants to be a fixture on the team.
According to Hart, Joseph, who last don the national colours in a 1-0 friendly loss to Panama on March 28 earlier this year, knows he has a lot of talent and is just for him to focus on his football.
The 26-year-old Caesar is currently attached to North American Soccer League club, Austin Aztex and last played for T&T against Antigua & Barbuda during the 2014 Caribbean Football Union Cup semifinal round in T&T
The 25-year-old Hoyte, who played just twice in two years under Hart, is the younger brother of 30-year-old T&T defender Justin Hoyte, and pulled out of the Jordan match last month, will now have another chance to impress Hart while Hackshaw who has one cap, last featured against Curacao in July.
The team which departs tomorrow for the Mexico contest includes regular goalkeepers, Marvin Phillip and Jan-Michael Williams, Daneil Cyrus, Yohance Marshall, Radanfah Abu Bakr, Mekeil Williams, Khaleem Hyland, Kevan George, Andre Boucaud, Joevin Jones, Cordell Cato, Keron Cummings, Willis Plaza, Jonathan Glenn, Rundell Winchester and Aubrey David.
Among the notable absentees were regular captain, Kenwyne Jones and Sheldon Bateau as well as Carlyle Mitchell and Lester Peltier.
In explaining their omissions, Hart said, both Jones (Cardiff City) and Bateau asked to be excused because of their situations with their clubs while Mitchell has only recently started back playing after returning from injury, and with regards to Peltier, he wanted to see how much depth he had in that position.
“Jones (Kenwyne) is trying to sort out his future with Cardiff City and Bateau has now joined Russian Premier Division club FC Krylia Sovetov Samara and have both asked to be excused,” he said.
The encounter between Mexico and T&T will be key to both teams as they look ahead to the start of their 2018 Russia FIFA World Cup Concacaf semifinal round qualifiers and will be the first time El Tricolor, who are under the care of interim coach, Brazilian-born Ricardo “Tuca” Ferretti will be playing in Utah.
Ferretti takes over on a temporary basis following Miguel Herrera's firing last month for an altercation in Philadelphia International Airport, with the primary goal of winning a ticket to the Confederations Cup by defeating the USA on October 10 in a Concacaf playoff at the Rose Bowl.
The match at Rio Tinto Stadium will mark the 20th encounter between the nations with Mexico leading the series with 12 wins, four draws and three losses.
Following the Mexico match, the Soca Warriors also has a confirmed engagement with Panama on October 9 and according to national teams Operations Manager, discussions are still ongoing over another possible international engagement (October 13).
Wallace also noted that the TTFA had also written to Concacaf requesting word on the possible dates for their Copa America 2016, the 100th edition, home-and-away playoff matches with Haiti which could well squad plans for the second friendly in October ahead of their semifinal round Concacaf 2018 Russia World Cup qualifying Group C opener away to the winner of the Third Round tie between Guatemala and Antigua & Barbuda on November.

I like both players eh and yes, we need them, but we need depth for down de road, because man could get injured, suspended and even block by their clubs.
We didn't need to call Marshall, Jan, Hyland and Mekeil.
Hart shoulda use this to see a few different players, Levi Garcia, Greg Ramjitsingh, Kareem Moses, Alvin Jones and Ricardo John.
Hyland is playing regular for his club now and will be fit, so we dont have to call him, keep him for the qualifiers. Same for Marshall and as they now sign for their clubs, leave them to settle in.
Levi shoulda get call, he just came back from Holland and he fit, he coulda be there just to train with de team if anything, like Corbin for de Gold Cup.
Even though Jan is de best keeper we have in T&T, we should really try and look for extra coverage, because he is inconsistent. Give Ramjitsingh a try, he already in de US, it woulda cost much to try him as we number two.

Good luck T&T.

Absolutely no problem with this squad.
Just the right balance of pedigree for this formerly Goliath-like opponent with revenge and revisionism of recent history on its mind
and just the right amount of injection of newbies to learn from the pros. Other peewats can be introduced in a friendly gainst El Salvador or so.
Omissions of top players like KJ & Bateau for good reason, conveniently a time for forwards to step up without Kenwyne Jones.
Guerra smartly dumped as he will be realizing that he is approaching discardibility if he continies at this rate.
Peer pressure put on Marcus with a 2nd chance after his alleged attitude problem before Jordan. He will produce this time
He can show how hungry & disciplined he is, as now Guerra is out in de dog house looking in, and whoever is more hungry will get the spot.

Is long time Guerra and Peltier is passengers. Clearly talented but not producing. Cummings come in and take Guerra place, Cato took Peltier's. Plus if Molino is firing on all cylinders after his recovery; or Marcus Joseph, T. Ceasar and Winchester impress they'll be further down the pecking order.Jones, Bateau, Peltier out Mexico friendly.

Trinidad and Tobago’s senior men’s team are in Salt Lake City preparing ahead of Friday’s International Friendly with 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup champions Mexico at the Rio Tinto Stadium from 8pm.
Members of the team arrived in Salt Lake on Sunday evening and will be part of a five-day training camp which falls into the preparations for the upcoming 2018 CONCACAF World Cup qualifying semi-final round which commences in November.
The local-based players along with European-baseds defenders Aubrey David and Radanfah Abu Bakr traveled from Port of Spain with Stephen Hart and the rest of the backroom staff while US-based quartet Kevan George,Joevin Jones, Trevin Caesar and Rundell Winchester joined the team later on Sunday night.
Also arriving on Sunday were English-based midfielder Andre Boucaud and Mexican-based defender Yohance Marshall. Scheduled to arrive on Monday and Tuesday are Khaleem Hyland, Jonathan Glenn, Mekeil Williams and Cordell Cato. Barnet defender Gavin Hoyte will not travel for the game after the T&T team received news on Sunday night that his club had turned down a request for his release.
“We’re here and we’ll try to get in a decent amount of preparation ahead of the match,” Hart told TTFA Media. “The important thing is being able to access the players and have them together for a few days because this is what the program is going to be like when the World Cup qualification comes around. Getting the players together is vital and we’ll use these few days to go over some things in relation to the game and our general state for the campaign coming up,” he added.
The T&T team trained once on Monday evening at Lakeside Park and is based at the Downtown Marriott Hotel.
The Mexico team arrived in Salt Lake City on Monday. Their thirteen European-based players met the rest of the squad in Mexico City on Sunday before traveling. Veteran Rafa Marquez has been recalled with Carlos Vela keeping his place and Tigres trio Jorge Torres Nilo, Jesus Duenas and Javier Aquino being selected by interim head coach Ricardo Ferretti. Mexico will also play Argentina on September 8th.
T&T goalkeeper Jan Michael Williams, who missed the 4-4 draw with “El Tri” at the CONCACAF Gold Cup due to a hamstring injury, is back in the squad and is spoke about the values of such a high profile international friendly for T&T.
“This is another step in our quest and preparations to qualify for the World Cup. We are looking for continuation after having such a good showing at the Gold Cup. It’s our first friendly after the Gold Cup and I think playing against a team like Mexico is good for us,” Williams told TTFA Media on Monday.
“I think the game will be an attractive one and obviously people will be looking to see if we can maintain the kind of form we had from that previous game (against Mexico). We will be looking to put on a good showing but again the bigger focus is on the preparation for the World Cup qualifiers,” he added.
The temperature range is around 30 degrees celsius in Utah which is 4,327 feet above sea level. Here is home to MLS club Real Salt Lake and NBA team Utah Jazz
The Rio Tinto Stadium holds just around 22,000 and is sold out for Friday’s game. There will be live television coverage in the US on UniMas and Univision Deportes Network in Spanish, and ESPN News in English.

Club America forward Oribe Peralta and Leon's Luis Montes will both miss Mexico's upcoming friendlies against Trinidad and Tobago and Argentina after picking up injuries this past weekend in Liga MX play.
Peralta picked up a back injury during America’s 2-0 win over Mexican City rival Cruz Azul. While Montes picked up a right thigh injury during Leon’s 3-1 win over Toluca on Sunday.
Peralta will be replaced by Club Tijuana’s Henry Martin. The twenty two year old Mexican gets his first call up to the Mexican National team. Martin has spent the majority of his professional career in the second division of Mexican soccer with Venados F.C.
Montes will be replaced by Tigres Israel Jimenez. Jimenez makes his return to the National team. With six caps to his name the call up isn’t all that surprising since he plays his club soccer for interim coach Ricardo Ferretti.
Martin and Jimenez replacing Montes and Peralta means that neither LA Galaxy forward Giovanni Dos Santos, nor younger brother Jonathan of Villarreal will earn a spot on the national team for the upcoming friendlies. This may lead to speculation that interim Mexico coach Ricardo Ferretti doesn’t see the brothers as options for the playoff match against the United States on October 10th.
On the field, Martin will join the attacking front of Raul Jimenez, Javier Hernandez and Carlos Vela. Joining the three European based Mexican attackers means that Martin’s chances might be slim and he will have to make the most of his time given. As for Israel Jimenez, the right back will be battling for playing time with Mexican regular Paul Aguilar. The former Olympic gold medalist joining the squad as a defender to replace the midfielder Montes means that club teammate Jesus Duenas will move from a right back option to the midfield for El Tri.
Mexico plays Trinidad and Tobago on Friday in Salt Lake City and Argentina on Tuesday September 8th in Arlington Texas.

Mexico’s Televisa to film documentary in T&T.
By Shaun Fuentes (Guardian).
Mexican television station Televisa Deportes will have a crew in Port-of-Spain next week to record a documentary on football in T&T ahead of the September 4 international friendly between the Soca Warriors and Mexico in Utah.
Mexico and T&T has a long rivalry and recent string of impressive performances by T&T, in particular the 4-4 draw with El Tri at the CONCACAF Gold Cup has brought much interest to T&T.
Among those Televisa will feature include Everald “Gally” Cummings, Steve David, Clayton Ince, Stern John, Angus Eve, Dwight Yorke, Russell Latapy and TTFA president Raymond Tim Kee. The interviews will be conducted by Alberto Lati, a journalist and writer who has interviewed characters such as Dalai Lama, Madonna, Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Schumacher and Roger Federer.
The documentary will be aired to millions of viewers through Televisa’s main platforms in Mexico, Latin America, United States and Canada.
Can anyone get a copy of this?

‘Warriors” in Salt Lake City for Mexico friendly
By Shaun Fuentes (TTFA)
Trinidad and Tobago’s senior men’s team are in Salt Lake City preparing ahead of Friday’s International Friendly with 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup champions Mexico at the Rio Tinto Stadium from 8pm.
Members of the team arrived in Salt Lake on Sunday evening and will be part of a five-day training camp which falls into the preparations for the upcoming 2018 CONCACAF World Cup qualifying semi-final round which commences in November.
The local-based players along with European-baseds defenders Aubrey David and Radanfah Abu Bakr traveled from Port of Spain with Stephen Hart and the rest of the backroom staff while US-based quartet Kevan George,Joevin Jones, Trevin Caesar and Rundell Winchester joined the team later on Sunday night.
Also arriving on Sunday were English-based midfielder Andre Boucaud and Mexican-based defender Yohance Marshall. Scheduled to arrive on Monday and Tuesday are Khaleem Hyland, Jonathan Glenn, Mekeil Williams and Cordell Cato. Barnet defender Gavin Hoyte will not travel for the game after the T&T team received news on Sunday night that his club had turned down a request for his release.
“We’re here and we’ll try to get in a decent amount of preparation ahead of the match,” Hart told TTFA Media. “The important thing is being able to access the players and have them together for a few days because this is what the program is going to be like when the World Cup qualification comes around. Getting the players together is vital and we’ll use these few days to go over some things in relation to the game and our general state for the campaign coming up,” he added.
The T&T team trained once on Monday evening at Lakeside Park and is based at the Downtown Marriott Hotel.
The Mexico team arrived in Salt Lake City on Monday. Their thirteen European-based players met the rest of the squad in Mexico City on Sunday before traveling. Veteran Rafa Marquez has been recalled with Carlos Vela keeping his place and Tigres trio Jorge Torres Nilo, Jesus Duenas and Javier Aquino being selected by interim head coach Ricardo Ferretti. Mexico will also play Argentina on September 8th.
T&T goalkeeper Jan Michael Williams, who missed the 4-4 draw with “El Tri” at the CONCACAF Gold Cup due to a hamstring injury, is back in the squad and is spoke about the values of such a high profile international friendly for T&T.
“This is another step in our quest and preparations to qualify for the World Cup. We are looking for continuation after having such a good showing at the Gold Cup. It’s our first friendly after the Gold Cup and I think playing against a team like Mexico is good for us,” Williams told TTFA Media on Monday.
“I think the game will be an attractive one and obviously people will be looking to see if we can maintain the kind of form we had from that previous game (against Mexico). We will be looking to put on a good showing but again the bigger focus is on the preparation for the World Cup qualifiers,” he added.
The temperature range is around 30 degrees celsius in Utah which is 4,327 feet above sea level. Here is home to MLS club Real Salt Lake and NBA team Utah Jazz
The Rio Tinto Stadium holds just around 22,000 and is sold out for Friday’s game. There will be live television coverage in the US on UniMas and Univision Deportes Network in Spanish, and ESPN News in English.
but this is a fifa date .....

Love these vids that we get to see on their travels.
T&T getting more love than back home !
But a suggestion tho, sometimes in the sessions or even highlights, maybe NOT using music over the original audio is a good idea.
Hearing the sounds of the game or training adds a nice feel to the vid as well.

Trinidad and Tobago’s Soca Warriors will be part of an event that saw the fastest sellout in Rio Tinto Stadium history setting the stage for a hopefully action filled International Friendly with Mexico on Friday at 8pm (10pm TT time) in Salt Lake City.
The game will serve as a World Cup qualifier warm up for both teams but the significance is high as “El Tri” will be playing for the first time under new manager Ricardo Ferretti and the “Soca Warriors” will be looking to push on from their strong Gold Cup showing and build upon their performances which included a spirited comeback in the 4-4 draw with their opponents in Charlotte.
There were some initial fears that the game might get lost in the haze of Labor Day weekend here but the game’s sell out in a flash proved otherwise. Soccer United Marketing (SUM) and Real Salt Lake reported that just tickets sold out within 48 hours for the venue which holds just under 22,000.
"I just don't think anybody thought we would do it in 48 hours," said Trey Fitz-Gerald, Real Salt Lake’s vice president of media and communications.
"It's really fun to be able to bring other kinds of sports and teams that otherwise you normally wouldn't be able to see here," Jeff Robbins, president and CEO of the Utah Sports Commission added.
There is no Kenwyne Jones, Kevin Molino or Sheldon Bateau in the T&T squad but Keron Cummings is a name that the Mexicans will remember and the likes of Cordell Cato, Joevin Jones, Kevan George, Andre Boucaud, Yohance Marshall and Khaleem Hyland are notable faces. The incoming Trevin Caesar and Marcus Joseph will be looking to make an impression as well.
The competition for the goalkeeping spot is stiff with Jan Michael Williams back to full fitness and Marvin Phillip, who saved in the 4-4 draw with Mexico in July also in good form. Forward Jonathan Glenn will be hoping he gets a chance to shoulder some of T&T’s attacking responsibilities while defenders Daneil Cyrus, Aubrey David Radanfah Abu Bakr, Mekeil Williams, forwards Rundell Winchester and Willis Plaza will look to add more to the T&T line up.
“There is no number two at the moment,” Hart said. “They are both fighting very hard for that first position in goal and that’s how it should be. The other positions are also up for grabs and I think the players all realize this. This game will be a good one to see how much they respond and of course it’s all in relation to our preparation for the World Cup qualification.”
Williams has been made captain on this trip and he is anticipating a tough encounter.
“We all know what Mexico are capable of. I think the result in the last game and the way we showed up against them, in a way spoiling it for them, will make them more aware of us and they will want to show their class. But we have been making good progress and we will be looking to continue that in this game. We will not be intimidated and I think this is where matches like this ply a vital role in preparing us for the games we will play in the qualifiers. We have to be able to stand strongly against any opponent under any conditions,” he said.
T&T team trained on Thursday morning and also had a light session later in the day at the match venue which was once home to former T&T players Leslie Fitzpatrick and Marlon Rojas.
The Mexicans will look to starboy Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, who signed with German side Bayer Leverkusen from Manchester United on Tuesday. But it is uncertain how much of a role he will play as he was scheduled to arrive in Utah only on Thursday. Club America striker Oribe Peralta and Leon midfielder Luis Montes dropped out of the original squad after picking up injuries in Liga MX matches last weekend. They were replaced by Tigres right-back Israel Jimenez and Club Tijuana youngster Henry Martin.
Carlos Vela, PSV midfielder Andres Guardado and veteran Rafa Marquez are the other players to look out for in the Mexican team. Jesus Corona was also withdrawn due to visa issues. He signed for Dutch club FC Twente earlier this week.
Guardado said the Mexicans were aiming to start well under Ferretti. “We are hoping to start well under the new coach. Our intention is to prepare well and also go onto qualify for the Confederations Cup so these games are important for us,” he said, looking ahead to Friday’s game and their next friendly with Argentina in Dallas on Tuesday.
Both teams have met 20 times with Mexico leading the series with 12 wins, four draws and three wins for T&T.
The game will be shown live on GISL TV4, ESPN 3, Fox Sports GO, Univision Deportes USA, UniMas, Azteca 7, Planea Fútbol, Gala TV and on DirecTV.

CONCACAF.com
Although still patching his wounds following the latest round of Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League (SCCL) play, Central FC’s Marcus Joseph has found the motivation to rebound.
The 24-year-old and his Sharks teammates, in the club’s first-ever SCCL appearance, have found the early going challenging. Road defeats to the LA Galaxy (5-1) and Communicaciones (1-0) have left the Caribbean champion at the foot of Group D.
Despite Central’s struggles, Joseph’s play has helped him earn a Trinidad & Tobago recall for a friendly international against Mexico on Friday. The sides played to a 4-4 draw in July’s CONCACAF Gold Cup.
“It (SCCL) shows that I can play at that level,” Joseph told CONCACAF.com. “I just need to step up and make myself a better player.”
With the captain and lead striker Kenwyne Jones not suiting up for the Mexico match, a spot has opened up in the Soca Warriors offense. It is a void that Joseph hopes to fill.
“It is a great feeling to be back on the team and play against Mexico,” said the attacker, who was on the field for 90 minutes against Comunicaciones before giving way to late sub Kerry Baptiste.
A man of very few words, Joseph is content to let his talent do the talking. While as a member of Point Fortin Civic FC, he was the 2014/15 TT Pro League’s third leading scorer with 15 goals.
What can be expected of him come Friday? Joseph replied simply, saying: “I hope to do well against Mexico, maybe score.”
Keeping it simple, with a focused attitude, just might bring Joseph and the Soca Warriors more success.

RELATED NEWS
The march to Russia begins for Warriors.
By Alvin Corneal (Guardian).
This is the start of a journey which this country has travelled before, hoping that our senior footballers can get used to evading the humps along the way. For coach Stephen Hart and his squad, the level of confidence will probably be higher than previous occasions, especially in the last two Gold Cup tournaments.
The experts will always say that a team is as good as its last game, theoretically correct, but it is naïve to assume that we shall guarantee success at all times. Mexico is definitely one of the best teams in world football and despite that exciting 4–4 in the Gold Cup contest with the Soca Warriors almost two months ago, the onus is on the team to show that the previous result was no fluke.
It has been noted that a few of our top players such as Sheldon Bateau, Kenwyne Jones, and a few others will miss this warm up. However, this is yet another test for Joevin Jones, Kevan George, Atulla Guerra, Andre Boucaud and Johance Marshall. There has been very little by way of training sessions before leaving here, but they were safely in Salt Lake City, five days before the game.
This could be a factor since the weather will be slightly different in terms of temperature, altitude, and time difference. One thing is clear: the selected Mexican team includes a few players who were not in the Gold Cup. Rafael Marquez, Aquino, and Javier Chicarito Hernandez, are added to the already established strength of players like Andres Quardado, Velo, Peralta, superstar Giovani Santos and a group of fine players.
Surely, the team chosen by their coaching staff tells a story of respect for the Warriors. They are expecting another close encounter and coach Hart should treat that signal as important as a competitive game. Unlike the Fifa World Cup, these games provide a guideline for their coaching staff. It also exposes some valuable assessment for both sides.
Mexico will not wish to lose this game, as they will have to face Argentina four days afterwards, a fixture which would be top priority for them. T&T may find that the absence of the key players cannot allow the situation to change, and the challenge can be a tough one. From the looks of the Mexican defence, they have decided that T&T must not be exposed to space in and around the opponent’s penalty area, recalling that they conceded four goals in their last match.
Salt Lake City stadium is relatively small, when comparing them with LA, New Jersey, or Washington. Clearly, there is no room for taking this game lightly, and the professional approach will be to seek victory this time around, just to earn psychological points for future encounters. One must hope that the fans here will be able to witness the match in TV, so that we can all exercise our own assessment of our team.
Good luck to the lads. Go for the best result.

Mexico will be trying to restore superiority after the GC shock. They will be trying to show their fans that they are waaaaay better than T&T.
T&T need to play intelligent ball ALWAYS. This is the time to understand the moment. Of course we are preparing for a WC campaign. Part of that is understanding your opponent and playing to win in all circumstances.
Hopefully the confidence (not over-confidence) is there.

i am guessing we will not have a repeat performance as in the gold cup. there's no prior games and no build up. so i predict a comfortable mexico victory. these boys will go out there with all their bad habits and forgot what they have learned just months before, i have seen it too many times for things to go differently. but i am still happy to be playing a friendly on a FIFA date.
Why this negative assumption?
With the team spirit, momentum, and the coaching staff they have, I see no reason for them to adopt that mindset.
As long as they have confidence in themselves, know what they are capable of, they should go out their and perform for each other and for their country, and themselves.

De only thing, Cyrus and Jan in goal is we down fall.

Hyland look good to.
Boucaud should be made number 10, allyuh see de kinda pass he dealing with.
Jan to inconsistent, ah warning allyuh.
Post by: Peong on September 04, 2015, 09:02:33 PM
Excellent focus for the first goal, and great persistence to win the ball on the second.
The Mexico goal was a good header down just inside the post. He shouldn't have had a free header in the first place.
I hope we stick it to them again in the 2nd.
Don't let them get a chance to ketch themselves.

We only start to look calm after the 2nd goal. I am wondering so much respect for El Tri. We are too defensive. We should put them on the back foot. Attacking football. Whenever we go forward they are pressured.
J. Jones ain't getting enough service. And when he gets the ball he has to play square pass. No one up front. Too defensive.
Lets see wah Hart do in the 2nd

I am sorry but Cyurus aint ready for this league. Marshall needs a lot of work and I hope he gets it in the Mexican league. Jones MIA. Cummins is a revelation and Cato just grew into the game. Jan can't be the best in T&T.
I want to see SH changes for the second half.
IMHO Cyrus is one of our best left backs...I've never seen him get beat so...as i said...a rough game tonight! Glen is a hustler making something out of nothing! Every time we have the ball we look dangerous, I like how we have them bazodee with our cool knocks back and forth, very composed...talented bunch indeed!!!

Wha allyuh seeing that was a penalty? Man miskick and fall down as far as I see.
The interpretation is that the contact preceding the miskick created the miskick.
Anyhow, WICKED free kick. Party not quite done. 3-2 JJ!

Mexican commentators are of the opinion that Jan "no esta en buena forma". And for what it's worth, Felix Fernández should know.Jan's decision making scares me and we often concede goals due his improper judgement

A good result, not the best result but still we played well. and yes we should have done better. We need to work on our defense.
Our biggest problem for a long time. Was listening to Shaka on the ESPN commentary, he said he dont think Abu Bakr is international quality.
But it was an entertaining game and the team showed they have character.

if you think that this is negative then wait till after the game, i assure you that my post will pale in comparison.i am guessing we will not have a repeat performance as in the gold cup. there's no prior games and no build up. so i predict a comfortable mexico victory. these boys will go out there with all their bad habits and forgot what they have learned just months before, i have seen it too many times for things to go differently. but i am still happy to be playing a friendly on a FIFA date.
Why this negative assumption?
With the team spirit, momentum, and the coaching staff they have, I see no reason for them to adopt that mindset.
As long as they have confidence in themselves, know what they are capable of, they should go out their and perform for each other and for their country, and themselves.

I turned on ESPN3 after the 70th so im not sure what he said early on, but he didnt blame either GK for third goals. He said the wall was at fault for our third, and there was nothing Jan could do about the Herrera strike.

Switch back and forth with the U.S. - Peru game. Next thing I fall asleep. When I wake up, I seeing highlights of JA-Nicaragua. I surprised at that score and pissed that I missed the game. But I am pleased at the score. I am great full that Mexico accommodated us for that game.
It is a pity TTFA could not arrange a home game with even a Caribbean team with just the home players for the next FIFA date. Hart needs to have access to these guys more often. 3-3 away to Mexico in front a sell out is great. We slowly building a reputation as a tough competitor. Maybe Brazil will ask us for a game. I am pleasantly surprised. It is 1:53 and Univison deportees still analyzing the game.
I am so glad for J Glen. Perseverance is a hell of a thing. The bredder bided his time. And when he got his chance he made full use of it. He made Hart and me look like geniuses. ;D. Many of us have been calling for this yute to get a cobo sweat to see what he made of. He has proven his worth. Let's pray that he and the rest of the squad build that brotherly bond that can take then over the top when the tough gets going.
Aye, Univison repeating the game.

Wah he say bout the Keeper?
I turned on ESPN3 after the 70th so im not sure what he said early on, but he didnt blame either GK for third goals. He said the wall was at fault for our third, and there was nothing Jan could do about the Herrera strike.
OK Cool, thanks.
But not just the goals. How he marshals the area. How he exudes confidence in his players as Capt. How he doh make silly mistakes.
Dahis an assertion? Or a hope?
Neither! A Critique. I wanted to know Shaka's thoughts on those. Not just the goals conceded by JMW.

Jan is a very good gk. but he does not give confidence when a player passing back a ball to him. Everything has to be perfect or else ...... When Cyrus pass back a bouncing ball to him, and he kicked it with his knee. Today's gks have to be one than shot blockers. He has to be able to adjust his body and swing left or right feet. And I am a big Jan supporter. I don't think he had any chance on any of those goals. Header was well placed. The own goal. Then the golazo. No wY he could have gotten that. But yes we need some young blood. I like Jelani Archibald. Maybe SH can invite Ranjitsingh.
Archibald is Kittitian.
Jan is at best a good goalkeeper. Disagree as to "very good".
(Shot-blocking? He gets shot-blocking credit).
Why? Using just the context of your post I'll tell you ...
1. Footwork ... Honest to goodness issues exist here. Have you seen him address balls played to (his) feet in a manner that exudes a technical level that fills you with confidence? Add pressure into the equation and I doubt yuh could convince yuhself. Guaranteed that's in any opponent's scouting report.
Footwork in the context of his movement to get to balls (footwork in the traditional sense regarding GKs ... especially lateral movement) ... I wouldn't describe as stellar. Might be instructive to review the opening goal.
2. Sweeper-keeper ... In part requires effective, committed decision-making to support the back 4, particularly the central defenders. Also requires departure from the goal area (more often than not, requires departure from the penalty area) to execute timely interventions to interrupt/resolve dangerous attacking movement, to regain possession, to initiate a counter-attack ... to fill the void created by the absence of defensive cover ... to eliminate problems rather than create problems.
He's NOT going to get high marks in this area.
3. Deficiency on addressing crosses ... That header was the product of a cross. Doh jes pay attention to the quality of the delivery and the quality of header (dahis what supposed to happen: opponent delivering challenging balls). To put things in proper context, you have to examine Jan' s movement and decision-making in addressing the ball. Look at what's going on with him as the ball is in flight. Heck, I encourage him to review the footage himself. He go be vex.
Here's the overriding issue: having someone in place to preserve hard-fought-for advantages... recognizing those pivotal moments when the match is delicately poised, and where concentration is utmost and soft goals cannot be conceded. Someone with a mentality that influences where we keep the ball on the field.
Doh worry, ah building a Trini keeper in the robotics and artificial intelligence lab in meh yard. :devil:

Dunno about you guys but Keron Cummings is brimming with confidence since his Gold Cup debut. I know Hart had a problem with him falling too deep instead of being closer to Jones but last night he was brilliant. He played off Glen's shoulders and was willing to draw defenders into mistakes. His dribbling and first touch was absolutely sublime at times. If he continues at this rate Molino has to come good to regain hus no.10 spot and Guerra will have to be left out. Also Glenn was phenomenal, great finish for his first, then the hustle and desire to set up Cummings for the second bodes well going forward. Kudos to Hart for what he has achieved with this bunch of lads who are willing to die for the cause. Something I've not seen since the Strike Squad and to a lesser extent the '06 Team.
Cummings has it... Deft touch at times.. He needs to play in Europe... It will give him the exposure he needs..
Him and Molino in the mid would be a terror for top class teams

So, you tied twice with Mexico and that means you are a shoe-in for the 2018 world cup. Forget USA. Forget Costa Rica. Forget Panama. Forget Guatemala. You are so good all of a sudden. The ttfa football program is working. Everything is in place. Just a few more useful exercises and we ready for 2018. Sancho and Harrison f**ked up and now tiny tim is the Special Advisor to the ttff. Everything is copasectic. We going to Russia 2018 World Cup.

Nah, nobody said that but we seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. You go blame us after years of shi£ and being unable to get quality teams to want to play us?
Btw, how much did the TTFF get for that match? I assume we got an appearance fee.

I agree. We should not forget about Costa Rica and Panama. But I disagree with your comment that this is "all of a sudden". Few things to consider:
- After 2010 we hit rock bottom. Governance structure couldn't be trusted. We suffered poor results against Bermuda and Guyana. As a consequence our 2014 qualifying campaign ended prematurely in 2011.
- Harte is appointed 2013
- We reach Gold cup quarterfinals in 2013 .. lose 1-0 to Mexico after conceding a late goal.
- Some mediocre results from 2014 including a loss to Jamaica in Caribbean cup (Don't forget there were problems with compensating the team)
- Mediocre results continue in 2015. Things go from bad to worse after the 3-0 loss to Jordan.
- We beat Guatemala and Cuba convincingly in the Gold cup
- Tied Mexico after going down 2 goals.
- Lose to Panama on penalties
- Ties Mexico again 3-3 without having key personnel i.e Jones Molino Bateau ( We scored multiple goals without Jones and Molino)
Altogether, these are not false positives. The recent results are a result of having a dedicated coach, maturation of players and team resilience. This is two years in the making.
I agree that we should not get ahead of ourselves. There is still some work to do. But the recent results and steady progress is a sign that something special is beginning to brew in TT football.

Came late in teh first half as I was working.
However, was impressed with TT's one touch. At one point they were passing ti around in the defense, I got worried but it reminded me of a brand we had back inthe 80s and 90s, where the touch was deft and intrinsic.
I have never seen JJ have a bad game for TT and this may have been his best yet. He had those defenders coming and going.
He was a bit lucky withthe FK. It's as if the man said "Open Sesame." And the wall just parted.
Cummings really surprised me. He usually seems invisible in a TT game the exception being the Mex game at the GC. He showed me he could shield, dribble and tackle as well as shoot.
If only he could be consistent.
Glen - what can I say, the yute and can score, dribble and tackle.
For a hefty man, Caesar showed some good speed and the ability to torment defenders. We need players like this on the flanks and middle.
Consider Molion, Boucaud, Jones and Bateau weren't there.
I see a formidable team slowly taking shape.
Now Garcia and Winchester just need a chance to properly show their wares.
Maybe Hart should organise a Probables vs Possibles back home.
I would pay to see that.

Thats awesome! Building a relationship with Mexico will benefit us greatly in many ways. As for the two forwards linked to Mexican top clubs please if u can link the source or else it's just speculation/rumor. Very pleased with the result though, good match overall.
