[JRtheWriter]

Alright guys, I need ya help!
I'll be in New York the day we play but my flight is in the morning. I live in ATL and would get to see Trini play if we come at least 2nd in the group.

So do I take my chance and hope we come in 2nd or do I delay my flight for a day and see them play at Red Bull Arena?

Delay your flight boss

If we happen to come 2nd in the group you'll see us play twice.

I tried to get 2 tickets for New York in section 128 but it seems like they're all sold out? Are a good number of people in 127 or do you know anyone selling tickets for 128?  Also, anybody tailgating before the game?

Thanks! I did. He hasn't been on in a couple of weeks but hopefully I'll hear something.

I did not see the last friendly so I will not speculate  nor comment on the quality of play base on here say . However I have been advocating for months for better planning and preparation. I don't buy in to Player's alleged apathy against the coaching. From a player perspective , getting an opportunity for international recognition and to be scouted could pay dividends . Which player would not jump at that ?

On the other hand , the right coach has a lot to do with eliciting this desire and motivating the athlete. It appears to me that at the onset of this campaign, under Coach Charles, the team had a fighting spirit. From the games I witnessed, we seemed more cohesive and the building back appeared to be on. With the addition of Shabazz. The team appears to be taking a backward dive to how things were done: we back to experimenting - hastily out together teams- lack of meaningful preparation and a reliance on brining in so called talented players  and thinking that a well groomed team will evolve.

How long have we had to prepare for GC? How many of the core players remain a constant for all friendliest? With less than a month prior to tournament when will we witness a team that is playing at a level that would at least challenge beyond the preliminary stage?

Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. It is not too late to change our fortunes but we need a change of approach attitude and leadership to make it all seem possible and to give us a respectable chance of representing our selves with dignity in my humble opinion.

Hold on now...there was
"Defence Force striker Devorn Jorsling has been added to the 19-man squad with Philadelphia Union midfielder Keon Daniel unavailable and Vietnam-based midfielder Hughtun Hector ruled out due to injury. Vancouver Whitecaps defender Carlyle Mitchell is also out because of injury." in addition, unavilabilty of Carlos,Hyland, Primus.KJ, too, some like KJ, who ppl don't even want to see..I can't remember anyone else..7 ranked starters..tha leave about 4 possible returnees...all of which debateable, as well as replaceable...we can't expect continuity..but we may get a larger pool with knowledge of the basic premise of what the coach/es want.. so any of them called they have an idea of the plan of the coaches...provided the coaches have a plan eh...unless they change the plan and/or we change coaches, which we tend to do, everytime we settle on something..in many countries National team players seem to return forever, in TT we have only Bleeder..Good or him..he must be doing something proper to be the only consistent...barring coach, selectors, club and health  ...everything else is like a lottery

We have this thread to talk about our  Cup preparations  why do we need this one
Trinidad & Tobago Gold Cup
« on: Today at 09:01:46 AM »

[AB.Trini]

I see that men talking about players when we still experimenting. What are we basing our sections on?  This thread has been tracking all those issues  why is the  new one repeating all that has bee. Discussed?

[davyjenny1]

Allyuh still studyin Gold Cup ? We cyah do nothing in dat tournament....not when yuh have people like Shabba  tryin  to coach.

Now if we have new coach, new young players.. then it would make sense to discuss this ting but otherwise ..this Gol Cup prep ting is a waste  a  time.

I think a new Coach taking over for the GC tournament

Aye! this is what i said on May 27, 2013, "a new Coach taking over for the GC tournament"

[AB.Trini]

Watching Julius James playing now for Carolina versus FC Edmonton. The man holding he own playing with pace and intensity . Hope he gets ah call up for Gold Cup. Could help out on defence

[KND2]

is honduras bringing a B squad to the gold cup.

Looks like mexico and Usa are doing B squads.

If the other Hex teams are bringing B squads then this may be an opportunity for TnT to do better.

Gold Cup: Philadelphia Union midfielder Keon Daniel called up to Trinidad & Tobago squad
MLSsoccer staff
MLSsoccer.com

Another MLS player will leave his club to play in the Gold Cup this summer, as Philadelphia Union midfielder Keon Daniel has been selected to the Trinidad and Tobago national team roster ahead of the tournament.

The Union announced Monday that Daniel (above left) will be away on international duty from June 25 to July 16, with the possibility of spending more time away if T&T advance out of the group stage in the Gold Cup.

That means he will definitely miss at least four of Philadelphia's matches, against FC Dallas, Real Salt Lake, Houston Dynamo and Chivas USA. Since he has appeared in all of the Union's league matches this season, his loss could prove significant during that stretch.

READ: Gold Cup - Preliminary rosters revealed, MLS heavily represented

Daniel, 26, has made 53 appearances since 2007 for Trinidad and Tobago. He has scored 13 goals in that span for his country.

T&T open group-stage play in the Gold Cup July 8 against El Salvador at Red Bull Arena. They will then face Haiti July 12 in Miami at Sun Life Stadium, and finish up against Honduras July 15 at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston.

[Tallman]

Maybe just a copy and paste error. 

[soccerman]

LOL but for real, who made that error though and can we replace that person....we need either Peltier or J Lloyd on the roster, we can't afford to give away a spot like that.

[Flex]

soccerman, good question, the TTFA could always say they made a mistake and select Peltier !!

I will send this to the TTFA.

[Tallman]

I believe the missing player is John Bostock.
