Breds, yuh preachin to de choir, I is de man dat post the thread below for which every man jack cuss meh out.... After watching the game a 2nd time, I now am comfortable saying that Bahrain is a sh!t side. They have a few good players and frustrate their opponent with their defensive and nasty play but overall, I am not impressed.
Everybody, HUSH allyuh damn mout!

The overconfidence on this board is a sure sign of arrogance and is the exact recipe to failure that Bahrain wants. The last time we sounded like this was Strike Squad in 1989 especially after Jack Warner announced, "When we get to Italy, we will be a force to be reckoned with".
Look, I like many here have dedicated at least two decades in supporting TnT. It's been a long and painful journey and I doh want no more heart attack with a loss against Bahrain. But the only way we will beat Bahrain is if we approach the game with the respect they deserve, we must approach this game giving that team as much respect as we did to Mexico prior to the last game. Stop all de Bullsh!t dat is a "sh!t side" and we go "mash dem up" and all this nonsense, haven't we been down that road before, what's the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me", fellas, please get off allyuh phu*uing high horse and do not repeat the same arrogant mistake we made in 1989. This team has already beaten Panama 5-0, even though it was Panama's B side, it was also Bahrain's B side, the fact is they already have a good taste of Concacaf football, and I know Panama is no TnT but 5-0 is an impressive win no matter how yuh skin it. All this talk from Latas on "Vibes it up" like is a phu*uing lime we going to, no, we not ready for that, and I am not taking anything away from the Warriors last win, but Mexico didn't have anything to play for and we got past Guatemala in the last 5 minutes but a win is a win; our team more than deserve 4th place but we eh all dat tuh be torking like we is boss and Bahrain is nutten. Don't get me wrong, it was clear that Mexico wanted to beat us badly, they gave us a good fight, and in all fairness, that game was one of the best I ever see TnT play but it is different when the team you are playing also has the same dream as you do and it's a winner take all situation. Bahrain is a good team, do not underestimate them, we must approach this game as we did Mexico but all I am hearing here is it go be a walk over and we must give dem 4 - 0 in TnT, wake up, and many people read this website, including players, let's not get stupid and drunk with arrogance, please come down to earth realizing how difficult and serious this game will be.
Beenieman is returning on 11/4, I hope he doing his homework overseas, the team as late as the 7th, Yorke on the 8th (he might not recover from that Australia flight jetlag until the 10th), we don't have any practice matches with Uzbekastan (or however you spell it) or any other Asian team, they already have a leg up on us. And phu*ue Nahkid and all dem odder bullahmen trying to mess we up. We need to FOCUS and respect the difficult road that lies ahead.
Anyone going to the game, please, if we down a goal, doh get quiet nah, TnT is the only country where we down one goal, is then the crowd does get quiet whereas every other nation realize that dais when the team needs your voices and support. Also, since Bahrain wearing red, I hope we get anuddah 2nd uniform because we did not look good the last time we played in white, yeah, call meh paranoid…. Lastly, I am happy FIFA did not wipe out the yellow cards because I think we play best when we play our natural style and not depend on the physical game and according to the man himself, "we let the ball do the talking", play more ball control/skill than physical play, like we did against Mexico, dat was an incredible display of TnT magic on the field.

This is my assessment after watching the game today!
1) Bahrain is a SH!T side and do not deserve to be playing on this level!
2) We did not play as bad as I thought we did. Yes, we did not have the energy and hustle of the Mexico game, maybe the players were too tired/nervous.
Points I and 2 are troubling if we drawed 1-1 at home with this team. Either you are giving our team too much credit or not giving the opponent any. I would stop at saying we did not play well and would be much more improved against Bahrain on Wednesday.
Most of the other points I have no problem with. Birchall needs to take some of the set plays. Carlos crosses are poor, but I think he should continue his runs into the area rather than holding up to make the cross to one player (Stern) in the area. He is definitely breaking down the wing backs but the service afterwards is not the greatest.
The road to Germany is not easy but it should not be. We will carry on.
