plenty negative comments based on no true facts but pessimism and fear...I just waiting for when they win and ah whole bunch of specialist/experts will come out and give their analysis like they always knew.
Boy, the fact is that these are all youths and this will be the biggest games of their careers up to now, and that goes for all teams...
Seems to me the coach put together a T&T team to give them an opportunity to face most situations 'at this age' and qualify...which means his team has size, speed and strength first, then enough set skills in certain areas of the field to get a positive result.
Now this is only my observation and a coach has to go with what he feels most comfortable to execute his plan and tactics.
It should also be remembered the core and most of this squad selected, playing and training together over a year, so that has some value.
My only concern, if any, is if we have enough quality for the better skilled teams that have quick touches and movement off the ball. I more afraid of Guatemala than Jamaica, because their style can present problems if we only playing counter attack style and not holding the ball enough. Jamaica will be straight ahead at pace, so it will be a speed and size match up, and with the big Tobago boy Dario and Damani, they can match up well with that style of play.
The captain Muckette will bring composure and quality, with Jomal being unpredictable but capable of special moments. The wingers have plenty speed and forward (Henry) a hard shot.
Remember, Jamaica playing in front of their home crowd and for youths, that can be a lot of pressure, not necessarily an advantage.
I giving T&T a 2-0 victory...GO WARRIORS!!!!!
