@peong, 

I hear yuh bredda...we are the only "footballing" country in the world where a player like him can sneak onto the field in such a crucial match, and after we LOSE, some fans focus is on changing the nick name of the team?

Kalvin Phillips and Pep probably said WTF when they see him run on the field...I know when I saw him in the tunnel, I said, "well dais it right dey, we lorse.".

But yeah leh we get ah new name for the team...I won't even bother to post a link of the nick names for all CONCACAF teams.

So yeah we were beaten by the Canucks/The Reds who move on to play The White and Sky Blue...both nicknames -- on their own -- causes teams to quake in their boots

What is the latest with the NC and the new TTFA, if anyone knows?

And seeing that this is the Nations League thread, can anyone more knowledgeable than myself explain to me what a perennially-overweight Neveal Hackshaw adds to the team, that a normal-weighted player doesn’t?
Living abroad, there may be info!insights that I’m not privy to?

The way Real Gill playing and scoring, this means Malcom Shaw is sure to start against Canada while Real sits on the bench!

Also Mr. Muckette, with his goal-scoring, tempo-keeping midfielder self will NOT a see second of playing time against Canada...unless it's a lost-cause late in the game, and still even then I'd be surprised...smfh.

There has to be at least one midfielder in the TTPFL right now who is good enough to replace Neveal Hackshaw in our national team?

I'm not talking about players like Poon Angeron who are already on the team, but other players who will be match ready and fitter than Hackshaw when the Canada game comes around. I know that not every player that looks good, or who you might like, is actually national team material, but there has to be at least ONE that Eve could draft in?

From the little I know playing Futsal is not going you to make you match ready for Canada.

Thanks for taking the time to enlighten us who don't know Thomo.

Ent Cardines already in the fold at youth level, but I never hear bout the other two.

Maybe Eve already have them on his radar and we just don't know...or maybe the next coach will bring all of them home to at least have a look at them before Copa America and WC Qualifying starts

Seems as though he's playing for the U-21s right now?

I don't think we'll draft in any players for that one game in March, unless we find someone who is ripping at whatever position they play.
People like this Hackford kid will (hopefully) be on the new coach's radar for World Cup qualifying, if he's better than players we already have i.e.

Angus needs to focus on selecting the best team and approach to beat Canada.

Why would he be given a new contract BEFORE the Canada game (and the exit of the NC???), that's mad people thinking.

The new TTFA may be of the view that he is not the coach to get us thru qualifying and to the 2026 World Cup?

He also needs to be reminded of the bacchanal that was created at the GC that caused Molino to come forward. After that, all of a sudden we rebuilding? All the non-payment of money and the -- alleged -- plea by him to the players to "not bleed the NC" or words to that effect?

If Molino hadn't come out in public, he, Joevin, and Kareem them may still have been there moving in slow-motion on the team. When he finally started selecting the right players, all of a sudden we getting results.

How does Tyrone Charles factor in to a team that's being rebuilt, and WC 2026, he's 35 (I think?)

He should focus on beating Canada, and hope the new TTFA give him ah lil bligh to keep getting all that big money the NC now throwing at him.

Ent yuh know that jogging back he did come just like when keepers don't even bother to dive when they know they can't reach the ball...the best players does do that too though.

Mr. Kounty had to highlight the little jogging from the seven minute clip, he eh mention when he forced his man to play it wide, and when he blocked the surety-goal!!!

Fighting down peeps is not in my personality, and I know players miss waaay more goals that they score...but oh gosh Levi you coulda score at least of those three or four chances!

The last attempt to lob the keeper with his right foot, reminded me that he's just back from injury though, and he did something after that, that made me think he felt something...sure enough he was subbed out soon after.

Wasted opportunity to advertise himself in England, still love him, just keeping it ah buck

So he's 23, no Canada caps, surplus to Toronto's first-team, is he potentially another Malcolm Shaw?
He must be seeing as he has his own thread...what's the feed-forward on that though?

I checked Sporting-II before the last two games and never saw him on any game-roster.

I had to try and calm down ah man on IG by reminding him about Kaïlé's dad, and the solid guidance/advice he getting from him...also reminded him that a certain also-diminutive local legend fella, also played in Yard for a hot second before going to Portugal, back in the day

Thomo is ah man after my own heart on this!! I was laughing hard, hard, hard

I wanna add Mr. Bateau -- who cannot make a decent 7 yard pass to foot, or to lead the person he's passing to -- to your list!!

IMFO, Hackshaw is the main reason why Eve doesn't deserve to be the coach...for glaringly obvious friggin reasons.

Mr. Moukoko is the latest on my radar who professes to be 18...though he's from Cameroon.
Having said that, when it comes to FIFA's big competitions they now have a wrist MRI to figure it out.

It's a good sign that he was nowhere around last year's USA U-20 when they won the CONCACAF championship, that gives us some hope

The man asked, "when does a coach ever change a winning team"...that said it all for me but I continued reading anyway
Alvin Jones is a baller, not sure if he's a 'goal-scoring' right-back...think Shannon has the upper hand for that right back spot.
Hodge is a tidy player (who talks to the refs too much) but he can't play in front of Keston...unless I'm missing something?
Rochford is also a tidy player, not really sure who he starts in front of in this team.
Justin Sadoo the man say yes...not because you know someone and they are a decent player, does it mean they are national material.
Clearly this fella hasn't followed Joevin since he went to Inter Miami and showed he's not up to playing left-back in the MLS...far less against Latin competition.

TTFA took that post from the esteemed sports minister FB page and shared it, they might have left out her/their accompanying comments:

'Happy to bring the games to you once again! ⚽️ ❤️🙌🏾💯🇹🇹
