Football / Pretty but Shitty...................
« on: April 05, 2006, 12:11:26 PM »
Pretty but Shitty, that is how they used to discribe players who had all the top facilities and latest gear at their disposal but who were woefull on the playing field.
After all the stadia, the World Cup qualification, the huge injection of petro dollars, a professional league, men on scholarships, coaching courses galore, Finta deal, and the Jao Havelange Center of excellence at our disposal, we let Haiti come and Dominica come in we back yard and Planarse we.
Somebody please let the powers that be know, that it is common knowledge that a great former player does not necessarily make for a great future coach....(Fire La Forest NOW!!!!!!)
Like the Dutch, the Brazilians, the Americans etc, we have to invest in great youth coaches to develop our future players. I am sorry, but a U-21 program is a precurser to your senior team, you cannot afford to fart-around with that squad.
From all accounts, the reasons for the failure have to be placed squarely on the shoulders of the technical staff, or should I say the lack thereof.
Again, like with Anton Corneal in the US recently, we were dismantled by CONCACAF opposition and found severly wanting. When will we learn?
Based on my sources the team selection is also a major area of concern, like with the Corneal selection for the U-17 and U-20, picking teams based on allegances will continue to be our downfall. T&T does not have enough quality players to afford us picking friends.
If you want to be a National Coach, you must be able to withstand the pressure (You cyar play mass but fraid powder). If you in charge, then do all in your power to ensure success, them pathetic excuses made by Corneal, La Forest, Corneal Snr, and Phillips, are getting old quickly.
So we will continue to be embarrased by St Vincent, Dominica, and Haiti until we are more inclusive with our selection process, and do quality prepartions along with effective leadership.
p.s. Next time Ron La, if you ever have one...
