tempo are you serious!!!!!!!!!!!!...our U21 playing the U.S. U17...and tieing...are you serious....well boy they are really at the bottom of the hill....i'm not going to accept that.....tempo i don't know... which other team in the caribbean, central america, mexico, U.S and Canada does that...i'm holding l the national football team at every level in Trinidad and Tobago at a very high standard.... so don't give me no in between tempo.....THAT JUNK...you keep on making excused for this U21 team...next thing you reading they getting lick all over the place
I didn't know that being objective and reasonable is making excuses. This is news to me. My point is that it should not surprise anybody that this u21 team, which a year ago was completely outclassed in LA, will probably continue to have diffculties against teams like US, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Did you even see or get a report of the u17 game? From what I hear, we threw away plenty 1v1s and hit the post several times. So the result probably didn't indicate the run of the game.
As for holding the entire national program up to a high standard, you think you the only one to do so? Everyone on this board want the teams to perform well. But the expectations have to be
reasonable, and like many results-based "fans" who don't care about history, you do not have a reasonable expectation. For instance. we have on one hand T&T who: 1) until last year, had never
implemented a youth development program, 2) does not have a true footballing culture, 3) has limited financial resources (no corporate, little government $$), 4) still takes a less than scientific approach to sport, and 5) has a less than stellar professional league. Now, you expect players that come from that environment and beat players from countries that do supply all of those things? Your belief that a u17 team from the US shouldn't be even on the field with our u21s is not only arrogant but shows you have little understanding in what is truly required to have national teams meet your high
standards. Is that serious enough for you?
