Edwards back in T&T squad as Warriors eye Jamaica.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF Media).


Trinidad and Tobago head coach Francisco Maturana will welcome Carlos Edwards back into the national team when an 18-man squad travels to Kingston on Monday to take on the “Reggae Boyz” in Wednesday’s friendly international at the National Stadium there.

Edwards was named in the 18-man squad and both he and Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones will fly in to Kingston on Sunday night along with three other invited overseas players – forward Darryl Roberts (Sparta Rotterdam), Collin Samuel (Toronto FC) and defender Osei Telesford out of the United States.

Following T&T’s 1-0 win over El Salvador on Wednesday night, Maturana confirmed his squad for the Jamaica  encounter. Twelve of the players who were in the squad on Wednesday will travel to Jamaica and they include goalkeeper Marvin Phillip, Glenroy Samuel, Kern Cupid, Keston Williams, Keon Daniel, Aurtis Whitley, Akeem Adams, Jamaal Gay, Khaleem Hyland, Makan Hislop, Randi Patterson and Kerry Baptiste. The only new addition is defender Keyeno Thomas who recently recovered from injury.

Maturana explained his selection, saying “The team is a mixture of what we had in the last game and then we have the overseas players coming in. It’s a good chance to see how well they can play together against a team like Jamaica who are very good at home. I was pleased with the effort against El Salvador and I hope that we can do even better against the Jamaican team. It’s an important game for our preparations and we will try to prepare well and take everything with us into the game,” he told TTFF Media.

“It is also very good to see Carlos Edwards back in the national team and it will be good to see how the other players fit in with players like him and the others from overseas who are coming in.”

Assistant coach Anton Corneal also echoed similar thoughts, adding “This game will be a good eye opener in the sense of playing a top CONCACAF team away from home that is very difficult to beat on their home turf. They will also bringing back several of their top overseas player so it will be a good test for us.

Jamaican striker Deon Burton, now with Sheffield Wedneday has been recalled Rene Simoes for Wednesday’s game. He will be joined by twelve other overseaspros including captain Ricardo Gardner (Bolton), Marlon King (Wigan), Donovan Ricketts (Bradford City), Demar Phillips (Stoke City), Luton Shelton (Sheffield United), Omar Daley (Bradford City), Ian Goodison (Tranmere Rovers), Demar Stewart (Royal White Star, Belgium), Jamal Campbell-Ryce (Barnsley), O' Neil Thompson (Nottoden, Norway), Khari Stephenson (AIK Stockholm, Sweden), and Tyrone Marshall (Toronto FC).

Meantime, a local-based contingent of Jamaican national team players returned to Kingston on Wednesday after a seven-match tour of Brazil where they won three games, drew three and lost one. They defeated Tigers 1-0, Parana Clube 3-2 and Atletico Paranaense 2-1; drew with Estacia University 2-2, Operario 1-1 and Coritiba 1-1, and lost 0-2 to Avai FC.

Everybody better PRAY to every single deity known to mankind (and some not known) dat Edwards come thru dat game unscathed.

Because if he get injured and cyah play fuh he club.....it go be a serious serious ting.

Carlos Edwards DID NOT HAVE TO PLAY THIS MATCH and I'm not quite sure why we're insisting that he does.  Especially in light of the fact that we allegedly have all these "friendlies" coming up.  He will have ample opportunity to practice with the team then.

Dis is essentially a fete match and is dis kinda ting dat does contribute fuh club managers to regard us in de way that they do. 

There was no need for this call up at all.  Especially so soon after comin back from injury. 

Watch and see how he go pick up a lil strain durin de Aston Villa match and eh go no way.  And me eh give Sunderland wrong fuh dat needah.

Promoters/Associations normally say which players must be in the opposing team for them to put out the money.I remember Burrell once said for a game in Jamaica,it will only happen if Yorke and Latapy playing for Trinidad.

Not totally sure of this but if that should happen, I believe TTFF might be able to request that he not be allowed to play in the game against West Ham the following saturday. So let we be careful what we wish for.

Its my opinion but I wish Jones and Edwards stay with there employer and not return for a friendly against Jamaica.
  First of all we should be playing friendly against quality non-CONCACAF teams.  I would recommend teams in South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.  We are playing the same teams for friendlies and WC qualification.  How is our football experience under these circumstances.

Edwards and Jones if the return to T&T should practice with the team but not play in friendlies where they risk their career because of wild tackling potential.

The English started this "Jamaicans are too aggressive type" because our slave ancestors would not simply lie down and be treated as such. And so it has been carried throughout the decades. ;D

But didn't I read a report Thursday on how the Soca Warriors were physical against the Salvadorans that the referee had to blow his whistle frequently. What's up with that?

Like Reggaefan said: Football is a contact. So on the 26th tell your Warriors "Nuh dish out whey yu caan tek. ;D

Is Carlos and Jones good enough to lead this youthful team? Carlos is still not at peak form and Jones is looking to regain his scoring poweress.


Jamaica:  more overseas veterans; experience.

TNT: a mix of youthful  inexperience and some veterans. Will this be enough?

It looks as if Jamaica is going for  results and TNT still in the experimental stage. No Ince? ( Stern and Scotty on another blacklist?); What  did Birchall ( who will forget his decisive goal?) do to  deserve this alienation and constant omission?

Are we strong enough in the midfield? will our youthful defense withstand the barrage?

Hey ahh I was wondering when the Jamaican club team (I forgot their name FSC didnt mention them much nice uniform though) played DC united and lost 4 I mean 5-0 you think this may have been because they were too subtle or maybe to aggressive or maybe, thinking and aggression is not something that yardie teams can do at the same time .....hence the setback?  ;D ;D

Solutions,
thanks for those two links
it makes things clearer now.

• Was the match won, or did it end in a draw? (M)
• How important was the match (friendly match to FIFA World Cup™)? (I)
• How strong was the opponent in terms of its ranking position and the confederation to which it belongs?
(T and C)
These factors are brought together in the following formula to ascertain the total number of points (P).
P = M x I x T x C x 100

It remains to be seen how long Carlos plays tomorrow, as he had an hour against Chelsea and thats all he has played in 4 months.  Surely even T&T cant expect a full match out of him, I am praying he doesn't get injured aswell.

I find it really strange how many people on here have gone on how important this friendly is, yet seem convinved that it is a necessity to have Carlos there, when in reality he is not yet in a position to show his true potential due to the injury.  If the friendly is that important surely a fitter alternative would of been found.

As for the injury thing Sunderland aren't that type of club.


Interestly the club held an open training session at the stadium today, first team squad for tommorrow, however  no Kenwyn for whatever reason, strangely.

Hoss, everything is relative. If you play 7 competitive games for the year against decent opposition and win all of them, you don't need to play one friendly to do anything for your ranking. Trust me on that.

Is years now me and FF bussing we liver string and nobody here does take we on - just check when the next set of rankings come out and you go hear the same ole refrain again...

This is a fallacy. USA and Mexico play a lot of frendlies because they ranking high, not the inverse. You also forget that they also get to play Copa America every 2/3 years on top of Gold Cup and World Cup qualifiers.

It will be a VERY hard game and I would have liked to have seen both Clayton Ince and Chris Birchall in the team. The two players likely to replace them, Marvin phillips and Khaleem Hyland could have both been 2nd 1/2 subs, so as to slowly break them into the positions. I will be watching BOTH of these two players' performances specifically , as I predict one or both will have a major impact on the game's final result.

Ah reading the Sunderland message board right now. It have a man on there who usually have reliable early info on the team. He saying KJ not playing tomorrow. Is either due to an illness or an "illness." He definitely wasn't at training today.

This might end ugly.

It looks as if Jamaica is going for  results and TNT still in the experimental stage. ....

ABTrini...like T&T and the rest of CONCACAF, Jamaica is still in an experimental stage so to speak...and will be right up until June. In Jamiaca's case, the local based players just returned from a three weeks training camp in Brazil, I am sure a couple of them will be in the strating lineup vs T&T, and others will be on the bench.  Players such as Deon burton have been called back in for a second look, the likes of fuller etc have not been recalled for this game. The point I'm making here is that the notion of using an "A" vs "B" team is getting more blured as we get closer to June. There is a pool of about 30 players, any of these can be in the "A"/"B" team at any given point between now and South Africa 2010.

and yes, Jamaica will be going for a results...and everything else that comes with it. I would be surprsied if its not the same for T&T.

I think Jamaica needs to concentrate on the bigger picture rather than bragging rights , results rather than impressions, psychological preparations for bigger teams in the world region rather than bragging about a 1 off win but above all a need to set up satellite dishes earlier to conveniently avoid a means of explaining how your team got "narowly edged out" by DC united  ;D ....beer? :beermug:

I think Jamaica needs to concentrate on the bigger picture rather than bragging rights , results rather than impressions, psychological preparations for bigger teams in the world region rather than bragging about a 1 off win but above all a need to set up satellite dishes earlier to conveniently avoid a means of explaining how your team got "narowly edged out" by DC united  ;D ....beer? :beermug:

Not sure why you think Simoes is going into the T&T game with "bragging rights" as his first priority.  Check the composition of the squads that Jamaica used in the previous 3 games, and then tell me how is this squad that is called for the Trinidad game different from the squads called for those games?  We can afford to roate players and still put out a strong team...not sure why its not the same case for you.

Simoes is still looking at players, hence the recall of Deon Burton and the none-inclusion of Ricardo Fuller(who has played in all 3 previous games). Other players have also been omitted, and two players being brought in from Scandanavian leagues to replace them.  The local based guys just returned from a 3 weeks tour of Brazil, expect a couple of them to force their way onto the bench at least.

They should leave Carlos the hell alone.

Blood the youngsters more for this game. We does constantly feed them baby food and then we call our players soft. Look how Gay went from SSFL to full international, how much more we have waiting in the wings? Who cares about bragging rights. A full strength Trini team will probably beat full strength Jamaica, but depth in the backline was a big problem for us last qualification. Constant hi-level exposure will substantially help solve that problem.

If we continue to have as many players exposed to the international game, we could win Digicel Cup with a "D" team at this rate. Let Gay and some U-20s play against big men. Then when we qualify for U-20 world cup, nobody go bully them around like last time.

Is Carlos and Jones good enough to lead this youthful team? Carlos is still not at peak form and Jones is looking to regain his scoring poweress.


Jamaica:  more overseas veterans; experience.

TNT: a mix of youthful  inexperience and some veterans. Will this be enough?

It looks as if Jamaica is going for  results and TNT still in the experimental stage. No Ince? ( Stern and Scotty on another blacklist?); What  did Birchall ( who will forget his decisive goal?) do to  deserve this alienation and constant omission?

Are we strong enough in the midfield? will our youthful defense withstand the barrage?

boy them same question u have i beating down my head to figure out to yes.

Football a contact sporttttttttttttt really thanks 4 d education.
Your Warriors certainly played hard contact sport against the Salvadorans, didn't they.

That's what your regular sports reporter wrote. Didn't he. ;D
Hey ahh I was wondering when the Jamaican club team (I forgot their name FSC didnt mention them much nice uniform though) played DC united and lost 4 I mean 5-0 you think this may have been because they were too subtle or maybe to aggressive or maybe, thinking and aggression is not something that yardie teams can do at the same time .....hence the setback?  ;D ;D
I didn't get to see the match. My boss and I were outside setting up a new satellite dish and we completed the job minutes to 2 am.

And reports won't be as detailed.  I did see the Harbour View matches from T&T though. What did you think of those matches?  ;D

I think Jamaica needs to concentrate on the bigger picture rather than bragging rights , results rather than impressions, psychological preparations for bigger teams in the world region rather than bragging about a 1 off win but above all a need to set up satellite dishes earlier to conveniently avoid a means of explaining how your team got "narowly edged out" by DC united  ;D ....beer? :beermug:
So what were the Trinis clubs doing in the Champions Cup ???

Where's Birchall? Stern? Scotland? Sancho? Spann? Theobold? We need a stronger experience midfield if we're going to make a push for the WC. I have not seen any of the younger players named, hopefully we can bleed new talent during these games "hopefully". Lord send us another Latas. :)

Edwards should have been left out of the squad.  Anyway he is a professional and he knows how to play under these circumstances.
