I went to see Dc play last night against that El Salvadorian team... I see their coach afro (that look closely like pancho's) I really thought it was him (that fro traumatize meh) and I was like dammmmm... corbeaux brans still alive oui... I had to make meh way closer to the tunnel at half to see if it was really him, because the El Salvadorian team was not looking too bad...
"The team has started to come together as I wanted," Mourinho said. "The defence is settled and we have an excellent group of strikers with Samuel, Diego Milito, Mario Balotelli and even David Suazo with his speed.
"I now have great trust in this squad."
next up...toure from arsenal to man city.
i doh understand this move since he is not a striker.
Even if there is no clear resolution to be had from proceeding with the inquiry at this late stage, there remains value in putting into the national record the remembrances, recollections and turbulent history of a time we have been too eager to allow to recede into the past. While understanding security issues that are now 19 years old may not bring value to the needs of law enforcement today, those who suffered and those who died during that week of terror deserve to have their story told and understood. The national psyche can only benefit from an open, clear and balanced analysis of the crisis T&T faced on July 27, 1990.
My point exactly.
I doh understand why indians always claiming discrimination when their race/group is generally more successful than people of african descent.
Boss,
Don't bracket a whole subsection of our country because some jokers who happen to be of the same ethnicity pushing race talk to an extreme. They do NOT speak for the informed populace, only the ones who excel within the context of tribal politics.
While there may not be an overt conspiracy against "indians" as claimed by the collective jackasses, there exists prejudice across the board (ALL races) in Trinidad and Tobago. Its not hard to come on this board and find posts that border on ridiculous. Nothing is ever said because we have this illusion that we are a nation of great tolerance and a prevailing attitude of "if you cyah take picong, you eh no trini". One consequence of all of this is that we never have honest discussions bout race matters in T&T.
Something else to note, people of all races have succeeded in spite of perceived discrimination. Success is not a measuring stick for whether discrimination exists or not. But I digress.
Good post. Trinbagonians don't organize their lives around hatred and ethnic difference but very subtle discrimination exists. Case in point: "If you cyah take picong you eh no Trini". I'm almost certain "taking and giving picong" is a African derived cultural trait that we transposed onto part of the core of what it apparently means to be "Trini".
In fact most of what we consider Trini is based on Afro-European culture, with a smattering of superficial Indian references. We don’t even come close to incorporating the stories, the great texts or even the ayurvedas of India into mainstream culture. The closest I can recall to authentic Indian spiritulism being brought into the mainstream in and of itself was when Lord Shorty sang Om Shanti in ‘78.
I’m not excusing Gopeesingh and his nonsense. But discrimination is always invisible to those who form the cultural majority. Gopeesingh might be talking shyte, but if we smart we will reject him but take a long hard look at ourselves and how we do we business.
Defensive organization and tactics:
El Salvador played with a flat-back four and the defenders generally marked and covered each other well. Their individual defensive skills, particularly heading and challenging in one-on-one duels, also were competent. Over the course of the three matches, however, lapses in concentration inside the penalty area allowed goals by Costa Rica's Warren GRANADOS (No. 19) and Canada's Ali GERBA (No. 9), and Jamaica's Omar CUMMINGS (No. 22).
Like its group opponents, El Salvador relied heavily upon organization and pressure defense to protect its goal. Depending on the match and the opponent, the line of defense changed. Costa Rica was subjected to immediate pressure all over the field when El Salvador lost possession, but the team adopted a deeper defensive position against Canada and Jamaica. All players worked hard to quickly transition to defense and to maintain a compact team structure. The lone forward, Williams REYES (No. 19) exerted limited pressure up front to delay counter-attacks, sometimes supported by a midfielder. It was the five-man midfield, though, that assumed the main burden, working intensely to reduce space and time on the ball in the middle third.
Attacking organization and tactics:
El Salvador's midfield included several players with excellent technique to launch its attack. With quick transition, both centrally and wide, they caused serious problems for Costa Rica in their opening match, exploiting each zone for a goal apiece. However, despite its success in scoring the first goal against Costa Rica -- when Osael ROMERO (#8) ran on to a long goalkeeper clearance played on by Williams REYES (#19) behind the Ticos' defense to score with a brilliant individual effort -- El Salvador seemed content to pass the ball in front of opposing defenses and never consistently sought to explore space behind the defenders.
El Salvador benefited from Ramon SANCHEZ (No. 7), an excellent passer who initiated the attack and controlled its rhythm. The other central midfielders, Osael ROMERO (#8) and Christian CASTILLO (#17), played a more attacking role, using the lone forward Williams REYES (#19) or Rudis CORRALES (No. 9) as a foil to penetrate deep positions. It was exploiting this tactic that enabled Osael ROMERO (#8) to score twice against Costa Rica.
Key Points: El Salvador
1) Good links between team lines
2) Midfield Pressing
3) Constructive build up play
4) Rapid transition for defence to attack
5) Attacks through the middle
6) Attacks using the width
7) Influential individual players
8. Comfortable in possession when under pressure
9) Good individual technique
10) Mental strength/attitude
How can people judge without actually seeing the game?
None of us know what took place. Maybe the staff was satisfied with what they saw of
the starting 11 that were up 2-0 and decided to make wholesale changes to the backline and give others experience against Brazil!
I'm pretty darn sure Brazil played with it's 'Z' team.
Guess Leston was correct in his stepping up comment.
scroing 2 goals on Brazil is great...but taking 3 in 10 minutes is pititful. Z' team indeed.
I think part of the teams problem is highlighted here

Could somebody explain why the Mexican had to come off the field and wash his pants???
Cause he had blood on his pants...
An Ivory Coast football official has been sent to jail for six months for printing fake tickets for a match marred by a deadly stadium stampede.
Albert Kacou Anzouan, head of the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) match organising committee, was also fined $1,000 for manslaughter and fraud.
....
Thousands of "parallel" tickets were printed, the state prosecutor said. Faustin Aka, responsible for printing the tickets, was also given the same sentence.
The state prosecutor primarily blamed the deaths on fans without tickets who forced their way into the stadium.
A reported 36,000 fans tried to cram into the Houphouet-Boigny stadium, which has a capacity for 34,600, to see Ivory Coast beat Malawi 5-0.
Our reporter says Anzouan was also found guilty of theft by the correctional court.
The state prosecutor had called for a one-year sentence, reports the AFP news agency.
Two other people from a sub-contractor involved in the printing of tickets were given three-month suspended sentences.
FIF Director General Ardjouma Kone was found not guilty, along with chief accountant Andoh Beugre and three others, AFP reports.
Three members of the police and security forces will be judged by another court, our reporter says.
On Wednesday, football's world governing body Fifa fined the FIF $47,000 following the enquiry into the stadium tragedy.
It imposed a series of safety measures and also announced a donation of $96,000 to a fund set up for the families of the victims.
She seemed very nervous on the first day and the few words she spoke didn't come across too well. The Palin comparision did cross my mind though, but who knows, maybe with a little polishing up she'll surprise us.
She really mastered the beauty queen wave though...
...is she like a trini Sarah Palin??? what's up with not letting her speak to the media??
