W Connection They leave the Estadio Jalisco (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estadio_Jalisco) impressed. From 10 thousand spectators to 70 thousand, there is a great difference, and for the players of the W Connection it will be another factor against in the game against Chivas.
The players of the Connection had the opportunity to attend Wednesday the Jalisco Stadium to see Chivas, their rival in Concacaf Champions Cup (http://www.concacaf.com/competitions/match3.asp?id=1&year=2007), which besides the game, could appreciate the monumental Colossus of Calzada Independencia. “Its a fantastic Stadium, and what pleases me the most is that it is an only soccer stadium, is specifically for use of that and nothing else, all my players are very happy to be able to play in this stadium, since it is a field that has much history and they are pleased in having the opportunity to play here, and in addition the field is in perfect conditions”, commented Stuart Charles, Coach of the W Connection.
Its every Brazilian dream to play in such stage, mainly because we saw Pelé (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pel%C3%A9), and not only for us but for all the young players, since this team brings many young people, but hope to do a good game knowing that all people will be supporting Chivas”, Gefferson Goulart commented, one of the best players of the Trini's side.
*Jalisco Stadium was home to the Brazilian NT during the 1970 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_FIFA_World_Cup) and 1986 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_FIFA_World_Cup) World Cups celebrated in Mexico.
The Trini's where impressed to see themselves already on the main sport pages of the newspapers and the attention the sport gets on this side of the hood.

Nice thread design Flex.
As said on the 95.5 FM show today, it needs to be reinforced, that for W Connection to advance, because of the home and away goals rule, T&T must win or draw with certain favourable mathematical scenarios.
Would somebody like to review this? I was going to start but ah doh want to make a mistake. :'( . For example for the new follower wha' happens if we lose 1-0 :-\, .... and if we lose 2-1 (where in this case we would both have scored identical away goals)?. Wha's de story with extra time and penalty kicks and other final deciders?
Good luck WC. :beermug:
-
I think if W Connection lose 1-0 they will be eliminated as Chivas will go on a 3-2 aggregate.
If Chivas win 2-1 then the game will go into extra time and penalty kicks if needed.

Sounds right...and furthermore, if we lose by a difference of 1 goal in any other score (ie a high scoring narrow-defeat 3-2, 4-3 etc), we advance. Of course, the obvious...any draw and we advance. :beermug:

Champions Cup QF Report: Pachuca Ease Past Marquense
Feb 23, 2007
Goal.com
Pachuca 2, Marquense 0
PAC - Alvarez, 13'
PAC - Caballero, 58'
Pachuca did something fellow Mexican Primera Division side Chivas Guadalajara failed to do, the Tuzos didn't lose. In fact, Pacuhuca tasted victory in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal, 2-0 over Guatemalan outfit Marquense.
Pachuca, the 2006 Copa Sudamericana champions, got a goal from Damian Alvarez inside 15 minutes, but the Guatemalans got stellar goakeeping Ricardo Trigueno to stay within a shout and set up a potentially rocky return leg for the Mexicans.
Trigueno's, and Marquense's, resolve, though, lasted less than an hour, as Gabriel Esteban Caballero doubled the Tuzos' advantage in the 58th minute.

Connection players held up by visa delay.
T&T Guardian Reports.
Visa delay for two of his players is causing anxious moments for W Connection coach, St Lucian-born Stuart Charles-Fevrier.
South Americans Ronaldo Viana and Christian Viveros are to play for Connection in a Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal against Mexico’s Chivas in Mexico today.
Team owner David John-Williams, who did not make the journey with the team to Mexico, said that both Viana and Viveros left Trinidad on Monday for Colombia, where they were expected to obtain Mexican visas.
John-Williams noted that because Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were Carnival days in Brazil, Viana, who was in Brazil, had to fly to Colombia to get his visa application done.
Viveros, Colombian-born, could not get a Mexican visas in T&T and had to return home.
W Connection beat Chivas 2-1 in the first-leg at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella, on February 13 and flew to Mexico on Carnival Monday to prepare for the crucial second-leg match.

Champs pleased with stadium
Source: - Trinidad Newsday
W CONNECTION, the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) champion club, will be looking to seal a spot in the semi-final round of the 2007 Concacaf Champions Cup when they oppose Mexican league kings Club Deportivo Guadalajara (Chivas) in their second leg quarter-final tie tomorrow.
Connection, the “Savonetta Boys”, earned a come-from-behind 2-1 win over the Chivas outfit in the first leg at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella on February 13, and will be aiming for a win, or at least a draw, in the return leg at the Jalisco Stadium, Guadalajara.
In an interview in the Soca Warriors website, Connection coach Stuart Charles-Fevrier was high in praise over the venue where they will oppose the Mexicans tomorrow.
“It’s a fantastic stadium,” he said, “and what pleases me the most is that it is an only football stadium – is specifically for use of that and nothing else.
“All my players are very happy to be able to play in this stadium, since it is a field that has much history and they are pleased in having the opportunity to play here,” Charles-Fevrier continued. “In addition the field is in perfect condition.”
And team playmaker, Brazilian-born Gefferson Goulart, added, “it’s every Brazilian dream to play in such stage, mainly because we saw Pele.
“Not only for us but for all the young players,” he continued, “since this team brings many young people, but hope to do a good match knowing that all people will be supporting Chivas.”
Connection is making their first appearance in the tournament since 2004. The three-time Pro League kings eliminated Hoppers FC (Antigua), Puerto Rico Islanders (Puerto Rico), Harbour View (Jamaica) and fellow Pro League rivals CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh en route to the Champions Cup.
Guadalajara were the winners of the inaugural Champions Cup in 1962 but the 11-time Mexican title-holders will be competing for the first time in ten years.
The quarter-final winners will advance to the Champions Cup semifinal series, scheduled for March 13-15 and April 3-5. And the semi-final winners will compete for the Concacaf Champions Cup in April, with the overall champ qualifying for the 2007 FIFA Club World Cup in Japan while the runners-up will be one of the three Concacaf teams to the 2007 Copa Nissan Sudamericana.

I think if W Connection lose 1-0 they will be eliminated as Chivas will go on a 3-2 aggregate.
If Chivas win 2-1 then the game will go into extra time and penalty kicks if needed.
Uhm in contrast to the first part of your comment Flex if W Connection lose 1-0 wouldnt the Aggregate score be 2-2 instead of 3-2 seeing that Connection won the home game 2-1? If they lost by that score they will still go through on the Away Goals rule if the aggregate score is 2-2 cause they got the crucial away goal at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium.
Am I right so far?

I beg to differ in matches like these the Away Goals rule does come into effect remember the Champions Cup is Caribbean equivalent to the UEFA Champions League. I believe that a win or a draw for Connection will see them through to the semi-finals. Chivas needs to win by 2 clear goals to advance. So I hoping that Connection gets the draw or the victory tomorrow.

"Close the door "
Was a recurrent word used this morning at the Universidad of Guadalajara campus
were the trini squad had its trainig session, trying determine the strategy they will use
to retain the advantage they got on the previous match
the coach asked reporters for privacy with the promise to give interviews after such session.
Chivas recovers "Pato Araujo" and Omar Esparza"
from the U20 NT after conquering the pass for the U20 WC
while losing Ramon Morales and Magallon to the NT
for the friendly vs Venezuela in San Diego.

Hector Reynoso ( Chivas CB )
W Connection it's not a "piece of cake"
as some might think
they may not be technically advanced but their players are strong and fast
they also got a couple of talented players ( Seabra and Jean Earl ) and can cause damage at any time,
on the last game we were relaxed and thinking that goals were just going to come at any time
then they had a couple of chances and scored, so for this game we cannot give ourselfs
that type of luxury, this time we just have to come out to earn the result, said the defender.
-
Dreamer i just remember something, i remember Max Bretos on fsc say we need a draw to go through was he correct or the away goals rule really doh count. i am kinda confuse ???
Yeah die hard,
ah watching all these comments as plenty opinions conflicting in this thread. All I know is the source I typed (saying no away goals rle) to warn the forumites, as I will be glued to the TV Wednesday and I want to have my facts straight before any panic set in towards the end of the game. Hope this is resolved tonight.
-
Dreamer i just remember something, i remember Max Bretos on fsc say we need a draw to go through was he correct or the away goals rule really doh count. i am kinda confuse ???
Die hard, Max Bretos is right in saying a draw will get W. Connection thru, simply because we won the first leg. A draw in Mexico still leaves us ahead on aggregate, away goals have nothing to do with that. :beermug:

"Money does't win matches"
"if it was the case Chivas would win the game by a stuffing"
We know there's a big difference between them and us but on we are going to be 11 vs on the pitch
and thats what matters; said brazilian, Jose Luis Seabra.
The trinis earn an average of about 3k monthly to play the game.
Yestarday the W. had a chance to visit the pitch at Jalisco Stadium
"we are going to play with the rules, we are a goal ahead and we are going to try and conserve the result
and if we can, score one more on top of that, said Saebra.
the Caribean team knows that Chivas has't won a game at home since the start of the tournamet and
the Connection has not lost a game in 19 matches:
We know they have't got the results at home, and we plan to do what other teams have
done here, stay back and look for a counter attack.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/chivas/07/1181703.jpg)
We are going to play as if it was a Champions League Match.
We have to leave any arrogance behind, and if you have
to go for the ball, don't think twice about it...
and just do what we've been doing and acctually play
the match, we have to learn from this mistakes now
days you can't underestimate anyone and we promise
our fans to play this game as if it was the UEFA Champions League
there for all the meat will the thrown to the fire this time. ( Rodriguez CB )

-
one commentator say we not technically sound because we from the caribbean,now more than ever ah want we not just to win,but by a wide margin,them mother f**kers..........
yea i just see that dey on the tv nah. looking for we to hand them a good cutarse. If we keep shutting down their offense it should force them to start making more mistakes cause they looking for that first goal to give them some breathing space.
-
bautista get a close one for chivas..
-
Come on Connection!
-
West Connection have to do a better job with there passing and touches. Don't know if its the nerves or what but i hoping they calm down and focus a bit better.
-
jah
-
damn! defensive mistake make us concede....
-
chivas 1 West Connection 0 21st minute
-
hector yet to make a good pass.
Connection need to mark a little tighter.
-
only Jah could bless ! ;)
-
pressure we need a goal :-[
-
what happening here is trini football is usually a conceding style of game, with spurt offensive moves...but when concede to team like this....is trouble....but we could reroute after the half, get the coach to shake things up.
remind dem de could be like whitley pulling bull if de get a big contract
-
well its tied up now... CONNECTION WE WANT AH GOAL!!!!!!!
-
did toussaint start ??....or is he power subbing ?
-
Penalty for Chivas. overbar please
-
bless. That go work.
-
Dat is justice!!
JAH doh sleep!!! Keeper hadda protect heself
-
God is ah Trini. What a horrible decision by the referee to award a penalty.
-
OMFG......u beleive that shit. The keepr was in the right. That penalty was uncalled for and great save by that young trini
-
wow! chivas penalty! it get saved!
-
that ref get pay off
-
sweet save, no matter what commentators say
-
first goal was de keep fault. lil bit of inexperince showing. he get catch in no mans land. the ball bouncing...steups
-
Ref make a shit call...real horrible
and ah even worse penalty. keep did what he had to do. but dais a horrible penalty
-
Come on W Connection, take it to them
-
Aight I read where connection say they would be pacing themselves.
I hope the pacing done. They need to get more into the game.
-
Connection have no link from Midfield to Fowards. I don't know what Jean doing, Jean is a waste a time, bring Touissant on, Jean slow not effective at all we need Touissant in there and Pacheco. That is my two subs.
-
somebody say conneciton knock lookin better...
ya watchin d game on channel 60 jed??
that one forward eh workin
toussaint STILL injured???
need him bad...jean go kill himself with all that runnin and winning them headers for nothing...
no PK in my opinion...and he shoulda do better on the goal...was in no man's land there...
he young...but guess is his size and possible athleticism have him dere(eh see him make any real saves yet since i see him play)
and when we play dem we eh make him save either...
-
Question....how come Pacheco not there??
isit him and Viveros that were held back cause of Visas(which is real shi...)
they on d bench at least?
heard Viveros was arrivin today or something
-
Aight I read where connection say they would be pacing themselves.
I hope the pacing done. They need to get more into the game.
ok then....well they cnat be any slower cause right now thye hand break up.
i hope they pacing they level of technical ability also.because if dais as good as it gets. they will do good to get anythign out this game.
best ah luck fellas..cause they will need ah whole heap ah luck

Viveros on for Olivera i think
-
Shit, just saying noboby closing in on Chivas forwards, giving them all kind of room to play.
-
That remind me of England goal. The man with the cross had time and half to pick out somebody.
-
come on guys..... let's do it here
-
Caligiuri in ah mess. He offering NOTHING to the commentary. Yuh woudda though ah man with that kinda experience would provide some better match analysis, but he void of any technical input.
-

viveros not gettint hat visa sour d plan....
but pacheco shoulda start...
-
Jean is ah GOAT I don't care what nobody say This man is a waste a time. He have no touches whatsover. Not creative he does nothing on the field.
-
Them fellas looking real bad in de last 10 minutes
u watchign the same game last 10 misn alone
WC is showing a bit more purpose in their play in the last few minutes. Thank you.
-
Why we does look like we frighten so sometime.........
-
Who is dat left winger for Connection? Dat man swinging on some stones boy
-
chivas take thier foot off de x for 5 mins.
now look what going on. man getting brush likeit free
-
juuuuuuhhhh
-
When yuh consider that W is the best (or close to the best) the pro has to offer...yuh really can't get vex when Wim and them say the local league
is shit not cuttin' it....
The most agonizing thing about Trini football is that they'z give yuh a lil glimpse of promise every once in a while that will keep yuh glued to the game when yuh probably better off goin in yuh bed and sleep cause yuh have work in de mornin....
-
this will be an invaluable leanring experince for the conenction youngsters.
hoepfully they relaise how hard they have to work. to raise thier level
-
Chivas 3 - Connection 0
-
Ah cyar take no more :(
I gone
-
Never give up! :D
-
The left back in a hot mess. Come Connection pull back at least one.
-
Ah notice de leon getting killed all night,plus ah notice he hobbling like he injured,but dem mexicans shorter but they out jumping us,we looking bigger but they faster and stronger..........
-
Toussaint is the first W Connection player to look like he belong on this field.
-
we need a miracle now to go into extra time but as far as I can see it there is no way that will happen. Good effort Connection but tonight isnt our night.
-
this will be an invaluable leanring experince for the conenction youngsters.

couldn't agree any more with you. What i don't understand is why we wait till last 20 minutes to play like we come to win the match when the part almost done. WHY IS THAT? We should have had them by the throat from the time the whislte blew? the team shows promise but tonight they played like they did not want to take the bull by the horns at all.
-
maybe Chivas take they foot off the pedal.
One goal is all I want
-
Toussaint is the first W Connection player to look like he belong on this field.
Yeah,but he does complain to much for everything.
-
One goal. One goal for Connection please.
-
*sigh*... :-[
-
This remind me of Intercol and Naps in my early days dread.
Ohhhhh $hit. Ohhh $hit.
Next year for sure. :waiting:
-
We club football was better when we wereen't pro. Trintoc, Defence Force and Police did us proud. These fellas real lacking in terms of composure. Ah wonder when teams in Trinidad will start looking for a big target man who could hold up play. That is important when yuh on the road playing against good teams. Nothing up front. Nothing in the attacking third. That is arguably we best local team and coach. We got some ways to go.
-
If a fat Brazillian and St Lucian is the best we could do for midfield and forward line then we in trouble.
Toussaint, Pacheco and the Rasta in the back were the best players.
-
No heart in this performance, which is the most disappointing thing of all, they had no intention of keeping ball possesion
-
I could bring ah side right here in florida,that could beat that connection team,but hard luck still.
On one note doh if you don't bring yuh A game to any team in mexico yuh dead,plus if that doh kill yuh dem commentators go finish yuh off........
-
Thats it the final whistle has blown an by the look of it we didnt have much of the possession, a couple of shots 1 which was on target and the passing between the players were awful we gave away the ball too many times in midfield.
-
Pure licks :-[
-

Who the same rasta that give the ball back to bravo in the box when tried to clear it,is that rasta yuh talking bout..........
-
good game fellas,( actually pretty boring) it's tough to lose but in losing you learn from yourself
and gain experience. its a long process but it's better to get it started than crawl in a nutshell
Trini football is growing and I holy hope the best for it, as it will help the concacaf raises its competition level
Cheers to all a ya, the game it's beautiful and meant to develop friendship and not hate.
unless it's the USA of course ;D
saludos !
-
Connection need to organize a sweat with the other teams that get knock out. Obviously playing only in the PFL not allowing us to develop fast enough. How come they only play some semblance of decent football in the last 20 mins?
Jean purge today. I disappointed. The defensive marking way too loose.
If Wim think he going and talk from off far and defensive players will magically appear he have a harsh reality in front of him.
-
thaks for the heads up Touches....
Sorry Connection and PFL...Good effort still...keep working, cause yuh can't ever give up....Thanks for the represent still
-
Jean is ah GOAT I don't care what nobody say This man is a waste a time. He have no touches whatsover. Not creative he does nothing on the field.
ah tink jean and olivera does look good in the pfl like king
-
:o :o :o :o
??? ??? ??? :'
:'( :'( :'(
>:( >:( >:(
oh yeah tousaint and hector play good ;D ;D ;D
next year conn
-
Triniman LOL!!!!!!! Well if Jean and Olivera does look good in the PFL as true as that may be it shows the standard of we football in the PFL. I mean I love Triniidad football I want it to grow and develop, I want the local sides to be a force to reckon with, but staying in the PFL with mediocre players not cutting it. Wim say we get better when our British players play with the local boys and I guess that is true thye draw from their experience and confidence. But these foreigners we have here from Brazil and OH St. Lucia ain't doing a dam ting. They look good against we inexperienced players and under exposed guys. SAD indeed. Only Pacheco, Toussaint, Drayton look Ok at times but other than that them Brazilian toots theyself and the list goes on.
-
Very disappointed that Connection lost this game. They showed no creativity and no individualism throughout except when Toussaint came on.
The defence was responsible for goals 2 and 3. The keeper Beckles has to take the blame for goal no1. I will forgive him because he's only 20 yrs old and was playing the biggest game of his career thus far. He still has a lot to learn but I think he's a good GK. He's better than Jan Williams in my estimation.
Chivas passed the ball well and they looked inventive. Players were running into spaces and they knew where each other was and I think that was the difference. They looked really comfortable on the ball. I think Connection tried to hold on to that one goal lead for too long. That puts pressure on your defense what they needed to do was to hold the ball and frustrate Chivas.
Anyways good luck to Connection next year. Their academy is good. they have very good young players. :applause:
-
I go give Toussaint something. Hector nah.
What happen to the good old teams of old where blade was the order of the day to soften the opposition and instill some respect?
No heart no urgency etc etc etc.
-
I saw the games in patches. Yes Connection did not play well. They were outclassed. But I still give them the benefit of the doubt. It easy for you guys to pontificate from behind your keyboards that you could bring this side and that side to beat Connection. But I want anyone of you to just make two sprints without the ball in in that high altitude and see what happens. Very few teams go to Mexico and come out win a win. 3-0 is a respectable score. Connection just have to play more teams from Mex if they need to progress. No team from the Caribbean will advance until they are able to match the Mex. toe to toe. The only way you can do that is to make more tours to Mex, period.
Go connection. There is always next year!!!!
-
We go be dead and gone and most likely there will still be next year.
I was really hoping to see a couple of players shine in this game. Toussaint show he have something. Other than him I ain't really see nothing. I am a Connection supporter cause I went Naps and live by the Mannie but I feel jabloteh going through may have benefitted the country more because at least locals would have learnt something.
-
Jean is ah GOAT I don't care what nobody say This man is a waste a time. He have no touches whatsover. Not creative he does nothing on the field.
ah tink jean and olivera does look good in the pfl like king
Jean is 35 yrs old and Oliviera looks too small to play that position. He was always getting bundled over and losing the ball. W Connection is only an 8 year old club and the PFL isn't even nearing 10 years yet some posters expect the standard of play to be similar to that of the MFL. Check back in history to see how long the Mexican Football League has been around? Better yet do the research on how much history clubs like Chivas, Cruz Azul, Pumas, Necaxa, and Pachuca have ::)
-
I doh mind yuh getting licks but you have to fight going down. I will take 11 birchall over 11 Hardest any day.
It have TV and have internet to bridge that history gap. You could watch and hear men analyse football all day. I doh care how old the MFL is. All I want to see is some level of improvement. Finding your self in space and giving a man an outlet to pass to have nothing to do with skill. Running down a man when you loss the ball have nothing to do with skill.
11 man behind the ball and nobody marking. Nobody putting in a tackle. Very little to do with skill. Free headers in the box consistently. Lack of coaching.
-
The good:
1. Toussaint come out looking very very skillful under tight marking, better than I expected from him. He can definitely remake the national team as he didn't quite shine in Digicel and people were thinking he was hyped up a bit too much. Well he proved himself
2. Pacheco improved from his poor showing in the first game. He has something that can be developed and seems to have a power shot just waiting to be unleashed
3. Drayton makes mistakes but is somebody to watch for possible blooding in defense for the olympic or national team with a little more coaching out of his mistakes. Is good in the air and tries hard. Might have more potential than that Joe Public right back who played in Digicel
4. Penalty save was admirable. One thing about Beckles. For a li'l young fella with no exposure to big football, he doesn't get flustered at all in big occasions. He is a courageous fella and I admire that
5. Connection got a look into a world that will change them all for the good. They will cry for a few days then hopefuly geh a li'l philosophical and re-commit to individual and team improvement. Look out for Pacheco, Drayton to improve next year.
The bad:
1. Oliviera just could not get it right today. He was pushed up into midfield where he certainly can play but.......maybe the tight midfield was just too much. He settled better in the 2nd half when he stopped trying to beats and take on man 1 on 1. I know Fevrier was disappointed in his performance. He was missed at left back because he was very good at that in T&T. Maybe that is where he has to stay even though he is allowed to roam in T&T games. I doh want to be too hasty as he is usually the rock of the team
2. Don't like how Beckles seems to be seeing dem crosses coming in and he not coming off his line unless is a high floating cross. Well men was talking plenty goal keeping technique recently so ah go listen for opinions on dat.
3. Beckles's kicks continued to be atrocious in the first half. I guess it got a little better in the 2nd but still not good. He won't be able to go very far with his awkward kicking technique as it detracts from any other talents he may have.
4. I didn't see the value in Hector.
5. Never got to see Viana, didn't notice Viveros if he came on in the end at all
And the ugly:
1.Left back was eating some serious beats. Not sure if he was that slow or the dazzling Mexican right winger was that fast...but the beats was bad boy and getting left behind by yards.
2. The final pass by T&T in the first half especially was very poor. Ah couldn't understand it. Occasion too overwhelming? Stadium too intimidating? Too much noise to cope with communication? Too much tacos last night?
-----------------------------------------------------------
But anyway, thanks Connection for the chance to witness this historic moment. T&T football will gain in ways that we can't quite understand now while the pain of a whipping lingers. Chivas is a reminder of what the Socawarriors will face (even more daunting) when we have to play Mexico in the Gold Cup and World Cup qualifiers. So Jones, Stern, Glen, Scotty, Roberts, Samuel, Carlos, Baptiste, Spann, Birch, Theobald, Toussaint, Sancho, Tallest, Telesford, Gray, Avery, Daniel, (?Drayton ;D ) Ince, Jack, Jan-Michael, Warner (and one more stopper dat ah cyah find right now :'( ), take note and geh ready. Presshah!...but still doh frighten.
-
The field was too big hence the poor passing :o.

Running down a man when you loss the ball have nothing to do with skill. 11 man behind the ball and nobody marking. Nobody putting in a tackle. Nothing to do with skill.
That's exactly my point. It's easy to say that you can watch tv and look pon di internet, but football isn't played over the internet or on tv. It's done on a football field. Better players in the league will improve the standard of play. This club is in its initial stages. Every league in its early inception had the same problems as the PFL. MLS did and so did the old english first division and the early part of the premiership.
-
I don't think Hardest will ever be fit enough for the kinda intensity that is required of midfielders these days with the pace so fast. Sorry TI

We club football was better when we wereen't pro.
You stay there and feel so......
Maybe and only maybe relative to the rest of the region (and some parts of the world).....because the game was not as advanced as it is today.......but our club football was never significantly better in absolute terms......poor technique, and inadequate overall development was always a curse in local football...take off yuh blinders.

A man in a next thread say that we master flowing footballlong time ago and referred to small goal.
Sometimes we does really sound like island people as if nobody else does play football where man does share beat and skills off on a football field.
I really wonder what people see when they see other countries and clubs playing football.

Buen Partido THERE UNION. Well it showed we still have a lot of work to do to be on par with the rest of the region but I thought Chivas was holding possession extremely well and did a good job closing down the options when W connecton had the ball. Our guys had more attack in the second half but clean passing and finishing is still a problem
-
Shit like dirt. Dem man look like dey carry doubles and KFC for de pregame meal. ah know de pace faster, but lack of meaningful technical ability was mostly absent in that performance. Ballmen, take pride in yuh game and work on yuh basics please. Lawd have mercy :-\ :-\ :-[ :-[
-
The players that looked the best for connection,showed promise in thier attacks and strung together passes and defended well;
Oliveira
Seabra (ist Half)
Goulart (1st Half)
Toussaint

great report dreamer, tousaint really step up just needed a little help
#43 came on and played good 8)
in my view the brazilians kill our game >:(
joesph was w conn best player on the night :)
tousaint showed that chivas isnt hard to beat with a faster forward like barthlomew majic could of happened ;)

The good:
1. Toussaint come out looking very very skillful under tight marking, better than I expected from him. He can definitely remake the national team as he didn't quite shine in Digicel and people were thinking he was hyped up a bit too much. Well he proved himself
2. Pacheco improved from his poor showing in the first game. He has something that can be developed and seems to have a power shot just waiting to be unleashed
3. Drayton makes mistakes but is somebody to watch for possible blooding in defense for the olympic or national team with a little more coaching out of his mistakes. Is good in the air and tries hard. Might have more potential than that Joe Public right back who played in Digicel
4. Penalty save was admirable. One thing about Beckles. For a li'l young fella with no exposure to big football, he doesn't get flustered at all in big occasions. He is a courageous fella and I admire that
5. Connection got a look into a world that will change them all for the good. They will cry for a few days then hopefuly geh a li'l philosophical and re-commit to individual and team improvement. Look out for Pacheco, Drayton to improve next year.
The bad:
1. Oliviera just could not get it right today. He was pushed up into midfield where he certainly can play but.......maybe the tight midfield was just too much. He settled better in the 2nd half when he stopped trying to beats and take on man 1 on 1. I know Fevrier was disappointed in his performance. He was missed at left back because he was very good at that in T&T. Maybe that is where he has to stay even though he is allowed to roam in T&T games. I doh want to be too hasty as he is usually the rock of the team
2. Don't like how Beckles seems to be seeing dem crosses coming in and he not coming off his line unless is a high floating cross. Well men was talking plenty goal keeping technique recently so ah go listen for opinions on dat.
3. Beckles's kicks continued to be atrocious in the first half. I guess it got a little better in the 2nd but still not good. He won't be able to go very far with his awkward kicking technique as it detracts from any other talents he may have.
4. I didn't see the value in Hector.
5. Never got to see Viana, didn't notice Viveros if he came on in the end at all
And the ugly:
1.Left back was eating some serious beats. Not sure if he was that slow or the dazzling Mexican right winger was that fast...but the beats was bad boy and getting left behind by yards.
2. The final pass by T&T in the first half especially was very poor. Ah couldn't understand it. Occasion too overwhelming? Stadium too intimidating? Too much noise to cope with communication? Too much tacos last night?
-----------------------------------------------------------
But anyway, thanks Connection for the chance to witness this historic moment. T&T football will gain in ways that we can't quite understand now while the pain of a whipping lingers. Chivas is a reminder of what the Socawarriors will face (even more daunting) when we have to play Mexico in the Gold Cup and World Cup qualifiers. So Jones, Stern, Glen, Scotty, Roberts, Samuel, Carlos, Baptiste, Spann, Birch, Theobald, Toussaint, Sancho, Tallest, Telesford, Gray, Avery, Daniel, (?Drayton ;D ) Ince, Jack, Jan-Michael, Warner (and one more stopper dat ah cyah find right now :'( ), take note and geh ready. Presshah!...but still doh frighten.
My thought were quite similar...I liked Beckles(3 goals notwithstanding :D ) he is definitely someone to groom for 2010. He will only get better with the right training regimen. Toussaint too.
Since so many of Chivas' lineup is made up of Mex nationals, I kinda like our chances against them in the upcoming WC qualifiers since our best players are playing abroad and would give them a good run for their money. Connection was outclassed but 3-0 is not too bad for a young inexperienced team(especially with a win against Chivas). Next year fellas...we run tings in the Caribbean!! :beermug:
-
W Connection will not be there next year. It will be JW's Joe Public FC.
-
Connection will be in the CFU club championship. They were runner's up.

The players that looked the best for connection,showed promise in thier attacks and strung together passes and defended well;
Oliveira
Seabra (ist Half)
Goulart (1st Half)
Toussaint
Oliveira???????? He was pretty bad on the night, especially in the first half. But you could see he fight as hard as he could. He put in his shift for a good spell, but nothing went right for him when he was on the ball. Late in the 2nd half he looked better going forward, but his lack of defense in the 2nd was criminal and exposed the left back time and time again.
Goulart have some skill and composure, but he is not a professional athlete. He just look like a retired baller with some touches.
Seabra is probably better off coming off the bench. Wanted to make thngs happen, wanted the ball to feet, but he is a bit slow and ran out of steam. My MOTM in the 1st leg. He is a fighter but it was not enough against Chivas.
I knew people would like Touissant. He have some touches and energy, but looks like he plays with his head down and therefore ends up dribbling a little needlessly. Or maybe he was just trying to make things happen. I will give him the benefit of the doubt and let those who have seen him play more give a more informed opinion. One thing..he frustrated the Mexicans to the point that they were trying to kick him down everytime he got the ball. But we wasted almost every free kick.
Look...I not hating. Everybody want to hear something positive, but that was a mess last night. If we were Chivas and WC was a squad from St. Lucia or some country that we doh respect in ball, and played like that yuh know everyone on this board would have thought they were absolute shite.
But I disagree with those who say WC did not go down fighting. They just have no clue what it is like to play against a team that is miles ahead of you technically and tactically. I find the fellas put in a shift. And young Beckles look unfazed by the occasion. His head in the right place to go far. He has to keep developing his game and he could do something. De Leon in the back (I think that was his name...kinda short fella)..he was a Lion in the back until he and the rest of the back line ran out of gas and lost all shape in the 2nd half. Ras, when he was on the right wasn't bad either...Chivas really didn't trouble us too much on that side even though the Chivas left wing was really trying to gallery. Oh well...next time
