Oh hey Green Beret... ive missed you so... Dont worry about them... They just wish our country was as good at football as yours... Ive been devising some plans though... I though i'de suggest to our PM that we should strive to be like the US in other factions... like... Keeping Africa poor perhaps... or sanctioning starving people... how about... starting multiple wars in search of oil...   

Glad to see your so patriotic to your great country!  ....... AND RIGHTFULLY SO!!   

hey whats the name of the bird in your avatar... funny... i shot a bird like that in California once... I rapped it a strange flag I was given by the trial manager... It was red, white and blue and had many stars... stupid looking flag really...


anyway... I rapped it so that it wouldn't get fly infested... but in the end it did anyway... so i just burned everything....

They are talking about caps for the senior team. Most of the players in the squad have represented T&T at some level.

trinidad has been and will always be home breds

[dumpalewie]

I actually feel that this is good for our team. We have nothing to lose in this current scenario.

The "fringe" players that make up this team all have something to prove and I expect that they will play hard. That is what I want to see most. T&T playing with a chip on the shoulder.

If we win then the coach could leverage the atitude of this team with the senior internationals. If we lose the embarrassment should cause Jack, Boynes, the players, fans and other stakeholders to confront the insanity that the state of our football is in.

Anton Corneal unaffected.
T&T Newsday Reports.[/size]

Trinidad and Tobago assistant football team coach Anton Corneal believes the CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh players have lost an opportunity to represent their country. And he strongly feels the team selected still has what it takes to win the Digicel Caribbean Cup to be staged in Trinidad later this month.
“I guess it’s a lost opportunity for the San Juan Jabloteh players. They had an opportunity to represent their national team but lost out,” Corneal told ttproleague.com.
The former national striker however admitted that the Jabloteh players will be missed.
“Surely we would have liked to have the services of some of the Jabloteh players, as most of them have some experience at the higher level,” Corneal said.
Corneal conducted training sessions for the Soca Warriors for a week while coach Wim Rijsbergen was out of the country on holidays. He believes the team has the players to win the Digicel Caribbean Cup.
“We had 29 other players to choose from and it’s a good opportunity for these youngsters who have been in the camp to step up. I honestly don’t believe with Jabloteh players out, it is going to affect the team,” Corneal said.
“This tournament is going to show us which players have the potential to go on to bigger and better things. In the camp the players have shown commitment and dedication to practice and I believe they can win this tournament,” Corneal said..
San Juan Jabloteh pulled 12 of their players from the national training camp, due to club commitments, as they prepare for the upcoming Caribbean Club Championships.
Jabloteh face Baltimore Sportif of Haiti in the semi-final leg of the Caribbean Club Championships on January 26 at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium.
The Jabloteh players who were part of the national training camp were Duarance Williams, Keyeno Thomas, Ian Gray, Marcelle Francois, Nigel Daniel, Glenton Wolfe, Kerry Baptiste, Trent Noel, Jason Marcano, Pro League topscorer for 2006 Anthony Wolfe and World Cup players Cyd Gray and Aurtis Whitley.

One good thing about this green mostly uncapped T&T team is that for the first time in many years the whole team is in training in T&T weeks before the game, unlike when the foreign-based players arrive 2-4 days before. Ah trying to see the good within a worrisome situation.
Maybe Whim may get a good feeling from this.

[Bianconeri]

i tink the 2 main men that should prove they should be there r going to  be Sealy and J. W. Williams


woulda like to see Julius James there...

anyone know if he was in the training camp at least in the US?

So for those who eh know why dis important, dats why......all yuh wha we to be seen in the same light as Jamaica.....ah flash in de pan???

To de youths on dis squad...... ....give it all yuh best, is all we could ask for in this set of unusual circumstances......

Yeas Dreamer - just like it was when BSC had the team during we run up the rankings. That's why I am confident this squad will do well. Talented players training together for long periods within the right environment is a recipe for success - GO WARRIORS!!!

alyuh doh seem to be listening at all at all at all... If the whole training went down smooth ah could understand the point yuh making, but the fact is even that wasn't satisfactory. Seeing that the members of this team almost never play with each other before, we have to come better than that...

[trinbago]

This is a mini break down on our preparations for the tournament

(1) The coaching staff first named a 41 man squad to prepare for the Digicel cup. Practice/preparation for Digicel literally started a month ago (December 11th) with the first week not having all the players due to external factors (such as school, flight schedule etc). In the initial stages players got the weekends off so it was not even a full month of practice.

(2) That squad then ran into problems when San Juan Jabloteh pulled out their players from the squad. Coach Fenwick and his staff said that they need their players healthy/fit and readily available for the Concacaf club championship.

(3) The national senior team played two games against a college base outfit. In the first game the national senior team lost 2-0 to the college base outfit. In the second game the tables turned and the senior team won the game 2-0 (with the college base team not having the services of many key players for unknown reasons). That was the only game preparation they got.

(4) Some players have no confidence whatever so ever in their teammates and the team. In fact, this is a honest dialog that I had with 2 players.

player A - "honestly kingman, our team not good at all"
kingman - "why boy"?
Player A - "the defense and midfield is very weak" "the midfield especially!!" they only want to play when the ball at is at their feet but do not want to work hard off the ball" "The practice sessions are slow and with no intensity and everybody on the team feel they is big boys" "I really think we are going to get embarrassed kingman"
Kingman - "sigh" "so everybody want to do the masonry but no body want to mix cement and dig the holes for casting? 
Player A & B - 
Player B - I think the good think about it all is that the other teams in the tournament are even worst.
Kingman - "negative, Barbados and Haiti are teams that running decent ball we have to be careful of them"

(5) The senior team was then suppose to head into a live in camp on Friday 5th to fine turn the lads for the first game and tournament. It never happened. Players were then told on Friday to come prepared for practice  on Saturday 6th @ 4pm but also was required to pack their stuff to head into the live in camp immediately after. However, up to today (7th December) players are still not in that live in camp. Players told me that it  was put off until tomorrow (Monday December 8th).

(6) I was told that coach Wim was hardly ever present in practice (sometimes never present). Practice was run  by Anton and Wim assistant (whatever his name is).

Based on all this information provided, how do you favor Trinidad chances? I honestly very concern and pessimistic. I will however support the team (mainly because their are personnel on the team that are very close to me).
Kingman

[Midknight]

All misgivings aside, I wish all the best to the Soca Warriors young guns. Go out and show them all what you are made of, do your best, show some pride. We can't ask for more.

To Hardest who is fast becoming something of an urban legend, remind us of the malick days...

Wim gives new boys a chance
By: T&T Newsday

Monday, January 8 2007

TRINIDAD and Tobago football team coach Wim Rijsbergen says he is looking forward to the challenge of the upcoming Digicel Caribbean Cup.

And he welcomes another opportunity to see what the new players have to offer on the international stage.

Rijsbergen was speaking after yesterday’s morning training session at the Ato Boldon Stadium training pitch with the 20 players selected to begin the competition on Friday against Barbados at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo.

“We want to be on the positive side and think about winning the tournament and that’s good but we also have a lot of new guys who are getting a chance to show what level they are on,” Rijsbergen said.

“We will keep doing that for a while, looking at new players. It’s unfortunate that we will not be using the Jabloteh players but we needed to make a decision on that. We know those players so in a sense on the positive side it’s good that their absence gives us a chance to see some of the other players in the competition.”

The Soca Warriors face Barbados, Martinique and the winners of the Bermuda/Haiti play-off. From that opening group phase, the top four teams will contest a semi-final and automatically progress to the CONCACAF Gold Cup in June.

Winner of the Digicel Caribbean Cup collect US$120,000. But it’s not all about the first prize, Rijsbergen said.

“Looking at players and working on developing a team will be the story for more matches. This is exactly what other teams in other regions are doing when they are not playing World Cup qualifying matches.

“We have seen the whole league here and we have seen some of the US-based players. Now we are giving some players like Jemmot and Tinto and the other new ones a chance to show me and the rest of the staff what they can do on the field,” said Rijsbergen.

“One of the reasons we went to the United States was to look at players and now we can see what level they are on and then at the end we can say yes or no to if they can be on the level required for World Cup qualifying.
