TI
Lemme see if I can explain a lil...........Yes even doe Surinam collect 4 they were in the game.
Why.
Because TT did not stamp their authority on the game...Surinam had nearly the same amount of attempts on goal. Possession was even and when Suriname decided to play touch and knock the ball they created openings and were dangerous. Also When needed a lil pressure and it threw TT off their game causing the midfielders....not the defence...the midfielders to panic and hoof the ball away.
The ground was not as bad as many of you all making it out to be. There were no puddles or patches, the ball was rolling nicely and there was plenty grass. No kinda divets etc to give you a bad bounce or stuck in the mud scenario.
They hit a free kick that rattled the bar and one attempt that was cleared off the line.
At no point were they outclassed, outplayed or dominated by TT.
Thus when the game was 1-0 or 2-0. It did not seem impossible by any means to come back and win.
Even when it was 3-0 a fella behind me bawl...Alright Suriname could score 4 in the last 10 min....he was not being unpatriotic but rather he was lamenting the performance of the TT squad and rueing the missed opportunities by the Surinamese.
Alright if yuh was looking at other factors besides score and rating that...e.g possession, time on ball, accurate passes, completed passes, tackles etc. Suriname and TT would probably have the same stats.
Now I didnt mention it before..........But what if I said Suriname was not good and competent at best.
This is the difference between Big side and Small side.....Big side will punish you...beat you bad..and doe step orf the gas.
We lack that killer instinct at all levels...when we have side to hang we coast. It is then we does get bite in we arse.
TI yuh following football too long to know the score is not a reflection of the performance on the field.
I sorry I didnt mention it but fellas Congrats on the win.
Lemme put this in another perspective TI....yuh is the best football team in the SSFL zone....yuh top of yuh zone...But when Intercol reach and yuh move out yuh Zone and yuh in Big 8 or playing a team out of yuh zone yuh collecting LEVEL licks.
Come like a side from South or Central come up north and collect a DOSE from FATIMA
Its a tier thing...and we on a third tier when it comes to football at all levels and this side just maintaining the status quo.
