While I have had issues with Dwight on his coaching thing, I am kind of in his corner on this. UTD has been looking for a high profile coach for so long. They got some and they flopped by UTD standards(No EPL or Euro). I heard Fergie wanted Pepe, but he turned it down. They had Jose. Moderate success. Van Gaal, moderate success, Ten Hag, moderate success. Ryan Giggs, David Moyes. Nothing going. Still can't get Pepe. Why can't they give Dwight a chance? But Radcliff will not pick him. He want someone who filters thru. the coaching system even though they have had no success. So Dwight, too bad You did not put yourself in the "higher then fire" coaches factory system.
Congrats to AC PoS. I would like to know about the ownership of the team. What they intend to do to this team a "real" PoS team. Do people of PoS have any passion for this team, etc. And I would like to see how they do in the Caribbean Clubs championship and hopefully the Concacaf Club championship.
Showtime should have been given a chance before Rundell and Malcolm Shaw...though he is old, I think he should be given a chance going forward...mis dos centavos
A buddy in TT told me that right now Showtime is the best center forward/striker in TT. However the age factor is an issue. But if push come to shove, and he outperforming every body, he should be on the team. Honestly I think he should get a try, especially against a so-called weaker team.
Did not know he joined the DF. I watched a couple of DF games last season and can't remember seeing him play for them. But I think it is a good move on his part.
If I was to argue with You about this statement, hit me over meh head. But Breds, I will take this over zero participation. Again the development has to start in primary schools. And I SINCERELY hope the current juniors athletes will be ready for LA. I don't see any 100, 200(Jareem ?), 400 men or women doing anything in Paris. We can never be ready for the 4 year cycle. Never.
Laventille united,Rsssr fc and Central soccer world do not have division 1 teams. Rc eagles(Real central eagles) according to their facebook page are meant to be playing in the division 2. However, it seem as though Eagles fc are playing instead of them. So how are these teams playing in the division 2. As far as I know there wasn"t a press release.
Breds, I can't answer that. But I just read that in the First Citizen Cup knock out competition, QPCC DIVII, defeated Caledonia. FC Phoenix Div One lost to Cunupia Eagles 3-1. All the other games the Div One teams won.
Does anybody know how the teams were selected for this year's ttpfl tier 2 division?
The club from the Div1 of the previous TTFA were assigned to Div.2 of the new TTFA. The pro-league clubs were assigned Div1. status. Some exceptions were Cunupia Eagles and 1976 Phoenix. They were assign to Div.1. Jabloteh and W Connection of the old proleague were given permission to sit out until they get their finances squared off. So Maybe next season we will see both clubs in Div1.
@g.o.p. I don't know what to say what we should do to improve in the Carifta games. A TT footballer who ran HS track at QRC complained that a substantial amount primary schools are not doing PE or sports curriculum. Many don't have sports day any more. When they do go to secondary school many or most have to do catch up. That is why there is a paucity of TF athletes from TT.
Every event in Carifta has a least two JA. Sometimes even Bahamas has two athletes in many events. We can't even field a 4x400 girls consistently. Very few hurdles. I have never seen a pole vaulter, junior or senior. This year I did not see shot put or discuss. Javelin.
Another things is the current gangsterism in TT. It is having an effect on lots of students. Especially AfroTT kids. Videos with fights in schools. Total lack of discipline. How do we expect these children to focus on TF. And I think TF is a much harder sport than team sports.
Well let's put it this way. He did say he training to beat the JAs because one JA said the competition is soft. So Mr. Chinapoo do know he has to back up his words with action. He knows he has to train hard and produce. Good luck and plenty Blessings to him.
Thanks for the list Maxg. Does Stars and Stripes make you fear the US. Friggin NO!!!!! We fear them because they better than we. The outjump we. The stronger and they run faster. But when we prepare properly, we does buss they arse. Like the game in Couva, and the game at HC stadium a month ago. I say we name we team Jack Spanyah. Allyuh ever play around a jep nest full Jack Spanyah
So in summary brother, to answer your question, the reason for sabotage of our football, was written before JW, continued with JW and is after JW as well.
Contro. I honestly admire your historical perspective on things and issues of TT. And I hoping I can meet You one of these days. But I am still a bit bewildered by your statement that even before Jack, FIFA and them wanted to keep down TT.
The only thing that impede us moving forward to upset the apple cart, IS WE. Not FIFA, is WE TT. All the successful football nations in Concacaf get backing from within. Business and government for finance and the citizens for backing in the stands. They have to work in tandem. That eh happening now. In 74 when the team almost went to the first Germany WC, who was TT president? Ken Galt. A former TT player who worked for Massy. He was able to get money for that squad. When the 74 Youth went Canada to play Concacaf U19, TTFA pull out all the stops to prepare the team. We came in third behind Mexico and Cuba. In 74 we won the silver medal in the CAC games. So the problem is We.
Allyuh real desperate. Blaming the the nickname. Soca Warriors is the name that took US to the WC. The name is not the issue. It is the lack of talent and poor quality of our game. Soca Warriors is or was about an underdog rising to the occasion. The smallest country in the world(in population and physically size) taking on the giants of football. If allyuh so desperate, why not TT Bullets. It is quite appropriate for the current times in TT. Real kill.
