wrong day to get into this negative vibes, but eve "nobody expected us to get out of this group" comments after the jamaica loss.... reeks of same old "excuses eve". smh. moved his lips to the tune of "taking responsibility" for the loss, but never really did -- is the players who shittier than their jamaica / us counterparts etc. [eve are you shittier than your jamaican / us counterpart?] Where is the we? win and lose together.

the fans looking to you and we believe in you to lead us all the way.
eve is a rubbish coach hands down, and by your logic nobody expects us to get out of the group so just throw caution to the wind and in the process get routed by jamaica and a second string MLS team, that is where we reach, is that acceptable?
he had the same game plan as he did with jamaica, hope to score first then fall back and defend, when with a team like the usa you have to play with three defenders and flood the midfield with tacklers. every one knows that TT plays horribly with a 4 line back defense, and you could see the pattern of how they conceded in every game.
it's either they have too many players in the box or not enough at all, and that's because they never had a coach to properly organize their defense.
as it stands what we need is for those monkeys down there to revisit the advice of benhakker and wim and properly develop players and their league, just as how the usa did, and it took them 30 years to accomplish their goal, but now their labor is bearing fruit.
so stop with the excuses, angus, hate to say it mate but you're not ready for this level of competition, just like lawrence and latapy, so go back and gain some experience in a proper league and come again. hiring these inexperienced OJT local coaches just to cut corners has been a feature of our lazy cluelss federation heads, and it has proven to be a total embarrassment to our nation's image and the morale of the players and fans, that's why our stadiums are empty.
what we need is to develop our own players, build a solid league and spend money on the sport....which includes getting an experienced tactician to coach our MNT, and it will in turn pay back dividends down the road, as the saying goes, no pain no gain.
