T&T U-17s off to Peru for friendlies.

T&T U-17s off to Peru for friendlies.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).[/size]

Trinidad and Tobago’ Under 17 footballers will have another chance to test their readiness for next month’s FIFA Under 17 World Championship when they visit Peru for a pair of friendly matches against two of their First Division clubs later this week.
The team, under head coach Anton Corneal and manager Christopher Gouveia, will head off to Peru on Wednesday. A few weeks back, T&T played the Peruvian National Under 17 team in two games, losing 1-0 and drawing the second game 0-0 at the Marvin Lee Stadium. This time around they will play two Under 20 teams of pro clubs Sporting Crystal and Universidad on July 13 and 15.
A 24-man squad will head off for the two games before returning home and looking ahead to a trip to Holland before their arrival in Korea for its opening game against Ghana on August 20.
“Even though we have played Peru twice before I think this trip is another good opportunity for the team because it gives them a chance to play against teams of a similar style away from home. We haven’t played that much games away from Trinidad with exception of the qualifying series in Jamaica and the friendlies in Honduras. Peru gave quite a good account of themselves in their recent game against Colombia so again these games can provide us with a good measuring stick before our games in Korea,” Corneal told TTFF Media.
“We still have to finalise the 21-man squad to take to Korea and so this also gives us a further chance to see what we need to before making the final decision. Our staff has worked tremendously hard since the qualification phase and with the support of the TTFF I think we are on the right path. Of course everything will come down to how well we do in Korea but I can honestly say that we have stuck to our programme and taking everything in good stride.”
Corneal added that there are further invitations for matches but the team will return home on July 16 and undergo training locally before considering any other options.

Like we only preparing for Colombia or what, what about the styles of Germany and Ghana. We already play Peru, we should look to play Nigeria and England too. Change up de styles a little to see how our team will coup.

I think that this team is not playing enough games against quality foreign oposition.

What happen to the tourney that was supposed to be hosted here?

I constantly hear of age group teams like the USA play about 20 warm up games before tournaments. 

We need to play more games.

At the very least play a Euro and an African team as Sam suggested. Its a Global competition and the youths definitely not getting enough variety in the warm ups.

TTFF bankrupt and Jack gone with the rest ah de money.  We don't have the finances to send our team on a multi-nation tour.  That is how it always is with our preparations.  We hope for miracles.

would be nice. but do teams like England and Nigeria even want to play us? what is the budget? they might be doing the best with what they have. Who knows who was approached and who rejected us

Didn't I said on another thread that the team should be playing Pro league teams. Why go to Peru to play club u20?? That money could be used for something. Stay home and play pro league u 20s and u23s. I recommend an academy setup for u12,u16,and u18 and they in the school. In summer the tour the West Indies and play other schools and nationals team. Bush football need to stop.
