Alright that may be true but playing in Canada would have been a good option to. That would be an away game and they would have to foot the bill for travel and accommodation. Anthony Harford says if we were to play in T&T we would have to fit the bill for our opponents expenses. The game would have sold out because it is a long time, 12 years i think since we last played a game in Canada. We would have got our share of the gates for a game like this in Toronto. A win win situation for everyone.
The link below is from a world cup qualifier played in Edmonton.There was a crowd of 25,000 to watch a match in Edmonton of all places.

There will be no cover charge and as such fans of the national team can attend the game and show their support,” Harford told TTFF Media.
“The difference in cost for renting the stadium with gates included as opposed to without is quite significant and we thought it would make sense to make the sacrifice.
Our national team needs the match practice at this time and we are striving to ensure we get in as much games as possible as we look further down the road. Hopefully the time will come when we can reap any possible profits.
“At this time it is simply too costly for the TTFF to stage any matches in Trinidad because of what it takes to fly teams into the country and also fit the bill for their accommodation etc.
It makes better sense to either play the matches at venues such as the one in Fort Lauderdale where it’s easier for teams to assemble or elsewhere depending on the match arrangements made by the host country,” Harford said.

What is in this for TNT? we ent going nowhere and it eh look like we serious about fielding a full strong contingent. Same sh..t different pile. When will we begin to take each and every game serious as if we playing for a world cup instead of 4cupping all over the place?
Come on people in charge all yuh never hear about wearing yuh Sunday best for the occasion? Why are we suddenly the whipping boys for every Tom DICK and Harry?
It never fails to amaze me that we brag about all these players who are on trial or who are playing abroad and yet when it comes to representing TnT we field a pee wee midget size team that look like dunces at a waltz; two left feet , cyar trap ; cyar pass ; cyar build a formidable attack cyar score.
If we are going to fly teh national colours, if we are going to represent... friendly or not this should be approach like it is the most important game for our nation, not a two bit game to give Canada bragging rights and to run a mock on we. Wake up people and bring the best of who we have. lets look at players who are bonafide in our defense... ah Achilles heel of our team.
Defense:
Julius James
Who is the player in Seattle or Vancouver?
There was talk of a youthful player in Britian with TnT heritage wanting to play fuh we on defense/
What about Deleon in MLS?
Come on TnT get serious and stop the tata

AB Trini...you hit the nail right pon de head coz like you I get the feeling that quite a lot crap is written and nothing comes of it.You ask for us to play the best side we can pick but it never happens that is why we always getting we arse cut up by everybody.We football is run by a whole load ah mouthers and windbags,all they do is just pose,I have time so ah go wait.

why not just name Hudson Charles as head coach
drop the interim tag...it will at least have some respect in it
so when the Digicel qualifiers come around....what will we do on the status on the coach ??

Because they planning to hire a big time coach when money start to run again.

Same S---- another day. Let us start naming a big time coach , at least we will have some say in the selection.

De Rosario, Jakovic set to play T&T.
By Steve Bottjer (Sportsnet.ca).
With Dwayne De Rosario and Dejan Jakovic set to play in an upcoming friendly against Trinidad and Tobago, two more key players have been confirmed for Canada's final warm-up match prior to two imortant World Cup qualifying fixtures against Panama in September.
Canada's all-time leading scorer, De Rosario is expected to continue to play a vital role in the Canadian attack as coach Stephen Hart's squad continues its quest to qualify for Brazil 2014.
Jakovic has not played as prominent a role as De Rosario recently due to injury, but the 27-year-old defender is undoubtedly an important squad player and his participation in the Trinidad game on Aug. 15 will likely be a positive for the Canadian team going forward.
If all of his players are fit in September, it is unlikely that Hart will be making any changes to the starting back four (David Edgar, Kevin McKenna, Andre Hainault, Ante Jazic) that earned clean sheets in a pair of World Cup qualifying matches in June. However, if one of those players is unavailable against Panama, Jakovic will step in for a Canadian side that has made defensive solidity its primary jumping off point towards earning positive results.
When the Trinidad contest was announced last month, Hart highlighted it as a good opportunity to give some minutes to players who had not seen action in recent matches. Jakovic fits that mold to a tee and his call-up for the friendly gives him a chance play some very valuable competitive minutes at international level.
Due to an unfortunate run of injuries in 2010 and 2011, Jakovic has not appeared often for Canada since forming a very effective central defensive partnership with Kevin McKenna at the 2009 Gold Cup. A broken clavicle and a hamstring injury limited his appearances for both Canada and D.C. United. However, when he is match fit, Jakovic has all of the qualities to be a very versatile and impactful defender for both club and country.
The 6-foot-3 centre-back is intelligent, strong and positionally sound, and his height makes him particularly effective defending aerial attacks and crosses sent into the box. Jakovic is also arguably Canada's most athletic central defender and his pace puts him in good stead in terms of matching up against lightning quick attackers. Lastly, the D.C. United defender is a strong passer who is exceptionally good on the ball, both qualities that make him ideal for Hart's system, which emphasizes possession and patient buildup play.
It's recently come out that several MLS clubs in the United States have previously declined to sign Canadians because they did not want to use one of their limited international roster spots on them.
As one of the few Canadians playing for one of the non-Canadian MLS clubs, Jakovic takes up an international spot on D.C.'s roster. But talk to anyone with D.C. and they will tell you he is a key part of their team's present and future, and that he has the potential to be one of the most highly rated defenders in the North American top flight.
Interestingly, while De Rosario deservedly received many of the accolades for spearheading United's resurgence last season, Jakovic was actually an equally important player for the one of the original MLS clubs. While he only played in fifteen matches for D.C. in 2011, it deserves noting that his team was in a playoff position until he went down with an injury that basically ended his campaign.
Jakovic has been equally effective playing for Canada. Now entering his prime years, Jakovic will be expected to be part of a core group of defenders who will have to further step up their games and assume leadership roles when McKenna inevitably ends his illustrious national team career at some point in the not too distant future.
Expect Jakovic play at least 45 minutes against Trinidad. He may be flying a little bit under the radar for Canada at the moment, but don't doubt for a second that Hart isn't fully cognizant of how much quality Jakovic is capable of bringing to the squad.
And if the unfortunate run of injuries are now fully in the rear-view mirror, Jakovic will provide Canada's chances of qualifying for the 2014 World Cup a considerable boost.

It seems to me that they will be going with a local squad. If we are serious one would think that they will be looking at a team for the Caribbean Cup, Then the Gold Cup with an eye for the next W/c.
As usual a pick up side- If we fail to prepare prepare to fail.

Look fellas let us just go and support the players. They need all the support they can get and in this post Jack warner era, where money eh coming from the government, we should do our best to help out.

De Guzman available for Canadian friendly
By John Molinaro (sportsnet.ca)
Canada will be able to rely on the services of Julian de Guzman for its upcoming friendly against Trinidad and Tobago.
Canadian coach Stephen Hart announced his 18-man squad on Friday, and included on the roster list was de Guzman, a mainstay with the national team who was recently traded to FC Dallas from Toronto FC.
De Guzman's participation was in doubt as Dallas plays the Vancouver Whitecaps in MLS action on Aug. 15, the same day Canada meets Trinidad in an exhibition match in Lauderhill, Florida.
Hart often has to negotiate with pro clubs in a situation like this, but the Canadian coach revealed Dallas was very co-operative in releasing de Guzman.
"(The Dallas coach) told Julian before we even came in for him that he respects the international date. We didn't have any problems," Hart told reporters during a Friday conference call.
The Trinidad friendly will be Canada's only tune-up match before it takes on Panama in back-to-back World Cup qualifiers on Sept. 7 in Toronto, and four days later in Panama City. After the Panama games, Canada hosts Cuba on Oct. 12 in Toronto, and visits Honduras on Oct. 16 to close out group play.
Other notable players named to Canada's roster Friday include goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld, defender Marcel de Jong and midfielder Nik Ledgerwood.
Although this is a FIFA international date where pro teams must release players, Hart said last month that he wouldn't field a full-strength side. Many European-based players begin their regular seasons the weekend before the Trinidad contest, while the MLS regular season is in full swing.
With this in mind, Hart selected a team that features some regular starters and players who have yet to feature or have seen limited playing time for Canada in the past.
Absent is D.C. United star Dwayne De Rosario, voted Major League Soccer's MVP last season and Canada's all-time leading scorer. De Rosario is nursing a shoulder injury.
Also missing are several European-based regulars, including Simeon Jackson and Atiba Hutchinson, who are involved in pre-season training with their pro clubs.
Even though Toronto FC plays the Portland Timbers on Aug. 15, Hart was able to call up defender Doneil Henry and midfielder Terry Dunfield.
Hart could have taken as many as four Toronto players, including defender Ashtone Morgan. But he came to a compromise about not selecting the young right back after speaking with TFC coach Paul Mariner.
"It's a bit of give and take in these situations when (the clubs) play on the same day as us," Hart explained.
Henry is one of four players who could earn their first senior team caps against Trinidad, along with midfielder Russell Teibert, and forwards Evan James and Lucas Cavallini. All four were part of the Canadian Olympic team that reached the semifinals of the CONCACAF Men's Olympic qualifying tournament in March.
Hart thought this international match was a good opportunity for him to further evaluate Cavallini, a player he doesn't get to see too much because he plays professionally in Uruguay.
"He plays in a different type of league. He's a player that looks like if he plays consistently and keeps his head on his shoulders he can develop very rapidly," Hart stated.
Also, Dunfield and Patrice Bernier have earned recalls (they didn't play in Canada's most recent matches in June), while de Jong and Jonathan Beaulieu-Bourgault are back in the national team fold after recovering from lengthy injury problems.
Bernier fell out of the national team setup over the past few years due to injury problems and a lack of playing time with his previous club. But since signing with the Montreal Impact last December, Bernier has played his way back into selection for Canada with his impressive and balanced performances in MLS this season.
Hart said Bernier is firmly in his future plans beyond the Trinidad game.
"If you look at my comments when he wasn't selected, he was coming off a bad injury and he moved to a new club, and I felt he needed to play and get back into the groove of playing. That's exactly what happened," Hart stated.
"Patrice has been playing and he's been playing consistently. He started off slow and now he is one of the most important players (for Montreal)."
Canada currently sits in second place in its CONCACAF semifinal round qualifying group with four points. Panama tops the group with six points. Honduras is third (one point) and winless Cuba is fourth.
The top two teams in the round robin group advance to "the Hex," the final round of CONCACAF qualifying where the best three nations in the six-team group automatically qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Canada is ranked 79th in the most recent FIFA world rankings released this week, one spot ahead of Trinidad. The two sides have not met since 2000 when they faced off five times, including in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup which saw Canada earn a 1-0 victory en route to winning the tournament.

Bernier leads off MLS-heavy Canada roster vs. T&T
By Gavin Day (MLSsoccer.com)
For the first time ever, all three MLS franchises north of the border will have representatives in the same Canada squad after manager Stephen Hart opted to go with a largely North American-based roster for the upcoming friendly against Trinidad and Tobago in Lauderhill, Fla., on Aug. 15.
The most notable returning name to the squad is the Montreal Impact’s Patrice Bernier (above), who has made himself an integral part of the Impact lineup as the season has progressed. Also receiving the calls from Canadian clubs were Montreal midfielder Evan James, Vancouver midfielder Russell Teibert, Toronto FC defender Doneil Henry and Toronto FC midfielder Terry Dunfield.
Hart seems satisfied that Bernier’s found his fitness – he leads Montreal in goals and is second in assists – and could have a big role when World Cup qualifying ramps up again in September.
“If you look at my comments, when he wasn’t selected, he was coming off a bad injury and he moved to a new club and I felt that he needed to play and get himself back into the group playing,” Hart said in a conference call with media on Friday. “That’s exactly what happened. He started off slow and now he is one of the most important players of that club. I’m happy that he took the time to play himself back into selection.”
Hart had a delicate balancing act in putting together his squad as coaches in the European leagues are less inclined to release their players for international duty in August, when most leagues are finishing up preseason preparations and beginning their season.
As a result, it’s a very young squad with many members of the Canadian Under-23 team that came close to qualifying for the Olympics included. Teibert is in his first senior national team camp, while Henry and James both took part in the Olympic qualifying run that ended in a 3-1 loss to London finalists Mexico.
James wasn’t originally in Hart’s plans, but an injury to Dwayne De Rosario prompted Hart, who sees the Montreal midfielder as a player that could add depth in a wide role, to call in the 22-year-old despite his not making an MLS appearance this season.
“I think we were becoming a bit thin in the wide position and [James] can fill that void,” said Hart. “I know he has not been playing often, but I have seen him at the under-23 level and Montreal were kind enough to let him come in and he gives us an option for a wide player.”
Also included in the squad is Dunfield, who has turned in some good performances since Paul Mariner took over as head coach of Toronto FC.
Hart said he could have taken four TFC players, but since Toronto play Portland on the same day as the friendly, he negotiated with Mariner to get Dunfield and Henry.

Are we the 'whipping boys' for everyone? from Guyana to Canada from St.Kitts to Grenada from Samoa to India

Come nah TTFF get the best players; what happen to Birchall to Julius James why not invite Nick DeLeon? ah mean we have all kinda players playing out dey whey dem? Lawd bring quality players nah
WHEN DE F**CK we go stop EXPERIMENTING and start getting some real players. This die heart bleeding self pity to drum up support just because people wearing the red white and black is what have we so..... we always complying and crying to support second rate teams.
Why are do we keep condescending to sub standard selection then we start cussing at the outcome? If yuh see the crap we doing in teh selection process one could predict what the outcome would be.
-
Like is only when is game time we does realize the state T&T Football is in,guys beating up on alyu selves does not make sense,it's not makeing the situation change or get better,we have to face the reality that our Football has gone to the dogs.
The only man who could and would do anything for Football in T&T is gone and that's reality,Fish does spoil from the head,everybody in the TTFF are in acting positions with the exception of may be Anton Croneal,we don't have a president,vice president,secretary,Coach etc etc Harford and them just trying to capitalize on the whole situation to make some money because Football has money in it.
All these game is not the TTFF it's Harford and his company organizing pick up games where ever they can get one,why we not getting any games at home?nobody interested in playing T&T,we will not even make money home because nobody going to see their own country play,our players are not interested in players for T&T why we can't get them,it's not an honour to play for T&T any more,we got rid of the man who used to get cuss when clubs don't want to release our players,nobody fights for us any more.
All i want to say is regardless of how bad things was and is we were not the whipping bag of Football in the region,we had the support of our people,we always had problems with the administration but our Football was good,i'm so sorry money has to distroy our Football and not the game itself.

AB i hearing your frustration,i guess you are speaking for all of us because we are all hurting to see T&T Football highlighted again.Nobody eh experimenting and all that stuff,this is what we reach too we can't do better,if you can't get players what you going to do?not play with what you have.
There are too many issues surrounding T&T Football for us to have a quality team,sometimes like we does forget the TTFF still in court,they were levied against and their office was cleaned out,they just got a new office,the TTFF to be disbanded,MOS in control of Football etc etc the thing is while all this going on we must have quality teams,programs etc going on.
Is either we serious about getting rid of these people or not,is either we want changes or not,if we want changes Football will definitely get worse before it gets better which is what we are going through,guys at the forfront just have to stick to their guns,we need people who have the guts to stand up for our Football,all we have is a set of names but nobody with belly and i will tell you no one man will be able to do it.

The only thing looking good in this T&T selection is the Midfield. I am going to the game but I am ashamed to ask my friends to accompany me for fear of the results. It is just love for the White- Red _ and Black that is moving me to support. A decent score line and some purpose in their play especially with some quick counter attack is all I ask of this pickup team. One would have thought that with players home on vacation a weekend camp would have been organized to bond and create a way forward. I guess we are awaiting a big name coach. Hey - I believe in miracles.+

I eh even listening to the commentary on that game, after all, that defense looking as shakey as a cessna flying under 20,00 feet, and with the exception of carlyle mitchell they going with an all local defense, among others, shyte snake power and clueless gonzales who play in ah slow coach league, and man like jorsling who could only score in front the goal mouth, i see ah frustrating evening out for the ide hard contingent who would be in attendance.
like injunchile exclaimed, the only saving grace about this team is the midfield, with the exception of clueless clyde leon of course, who could barely make ah proper 10 foot pass, let alone kick ah ball on target to save his soul. this game sounds like ah nightmare in the making.
another trade mark of the warner yrs, or should i say, "the jack waner legacy".

Wait nah, we have ah videographer on the technical staff.

I acknowledge his talent; I question his work ethic/ability to read the game.
As far as expecting his absence, not really. I think the selectors half drunk, half asleep, half-eh-care or disillusioned.

I was talking to another staff writer at MLS soccer and we both like the American Roster because outside of Jozy and Clint (who are both missing the game for excusable reasons) the roster we have against Mexico Wednesday is one that is getting our prominent players exposure. In other words, it's a roster that is preparing for the next world cup. Is Trinidad doing the same with this roster? Obviously not the world cup, but the Gold Cup and Caribbean...

Nah Dread. It's nah a fight down. That's not my vibes. I wish to be wrong about these players.
It's a matter of observation and calling it as I see it. Because he plays regularly in the MLS or EPL doesn't make him fitting to play for T&T. Again, acknowledge these players' skill, talent, know-how but T&T needs to play as a TEAM and bring the fight to EVERY game. The older heads here remember well the fight T&T used to have . . .

Hopefully. I'd like to see a strong as possible side for dem tournaments.

Sorry but I expect Canada to have a goal feast, poor defenders who are not up to international level. Why is it that "local" coaches always insist on picking "local-based" players, giving the excuse that they need exposure?? 1 or 2 sometimes but not all de damn time...steups!!

The last time Canada faced off with Trinidad and Tobago was in 2000, when the two sides met five times. They split that year's series with two wins, one draw, and two losses each.
T&T was eliminated from Brazil 2014 late last year. The Caribbean nation also did not qualify for the most recent CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Canada's roster features four uncapped players: Toronto FC's Doneil Henry, Evan James from the Montreal Impact, Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder Russell Teibert, and Club Nacional's Lucas Cavallini. All four players participated in this year's Olympic qualification tournament, where Canada was eliminated by eventual Olympic champion Mexico.

Canada set for friendly vs. T&T.
mlssoccer.com.
For Canada, Wednesday’s friendly at the Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, Fla., is just a primer for bigger games to come next month. But for Trinidad and Tobago, it’s the beginning of a very long road back to respectability.
Canada are preparing for two make-or-break CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers in September, yet with 2014 already out of reach for Trinidad, the Soca Warriors are looking a long way down the road. Their eyes will be on brooding a generation that will attempt to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The Canadians, meanwhile, are in a solid position in World Cup qualifying. Back in June, a 1-0 win over Cuba was followed by a 0-0 draw with Honduras, leaving the Canucks second in their qualifying group behind Panama.
In preparation for next month's top-of-the-group showdown, head coach Stephen Hart has assembled a mix of youth and experience in attempt to both hone his team’s match sharpness, and perhaps find some new attacking answers for the games that matter.
History
Twelve years ago, Canada and Trinidad had one of the fiercest rivalries in the region, playing each other three times in the course of a single year.
Canada gained the upper hand by beating T&T 1-0 in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, but the Soca Warriors got their revenge in a big way. First they beat Canada 2-0 in Edmonton in July in a World Cup qualifier, then added the final dagger that killed Canada’s hopes of qualifying for Korea/Japan 2002 with a 4-0 win in Trinidad in September.
The rivalry has been dormant ever since, as the two sides haven't run into each other in the Gold Cup, World Cup qualifying or any friendlies.
Trinidad and Tobago Outlook
A participant in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the Soca Warriors were one of the bigger players in CONCACAF. But the retirement of Dwight Yorke, Russell Latapy and Stern John has left Trinidad's cupboard relatively bare, and they've paid the price. T&T suffered an early elimination from 2014 World Cup qualifying after they were outmatched by Guyana in first-round group play.
Even worse, the team is reportedly in difficult straits financially and may not be playing any games at home in the near future, with Wednesday’s match taking place at a venue known primarily as a cricket ground. With their eyes firmly set on starting to build some momentum ahead of the 2013 Gold Cup, their next major tournament opportunity, head coach Hudson Charles has called in a relatively young squad.
Two MLS representatives — Vancouver defender Carlyle Mitchell and Philadelphia attacker Keon Daniel — are among the most experienced players in the group.
Canada Team Outlook
While most of the bigger names on the Canadian team like Simeon Jackson, Olivier Occean and Atiba Hutchinson were left at their respective club in Europe, there are still a number of veterans in the squad. TFC's Terry Dunfield and Montreal's Patrice Bernier are both fit and looking to get back into the squad on a regular basis while fellow MLSers Julian de Guzman, Andrew Hainault and Ante Jazic all played key roles in the games in June.
There is also a healthy infusion of youth, as four members of the Under-23 team that nearly qualified for the Olympics are also on the roster.
Players to Watch
Trinidad: Devorn Jorsling
At 28 years old, Jorsling is one of the older members of a very inexperienced Trinidad team. Jorsling plays for Trinidadian top-flight side Caledonia AIA, a participant in the 2012-13 CONCACAF Champions League. Jorsling will likely lead the T&T attack as his 16 goals in 29 caps is well above any of the other players in the team.
Canada: Lucas Cavallini
Canada’s struggles with capitalizing on goalscoring chances have certainly been well documented and with Occean and Iain Hume both focusing on their respective clubs, a chance to perform has fallen into Cavallini’s lap. With not many out-and-out attacking players in this roster, it’s quite conceivable that Cavallini will be starting on Wednesday and a goal or two in his international debut might make some of the more senior players in the squad sweat just a bit.

Hart looking for good performances against T&T
ctvnews.ca
In the unpredictable world of international soccer, Stephen Hart knows it's always good to have a solid backup plan.
The Canadian men's soccer coach said he's using Wednesday's upcoming friendly against Trinidad and Tobago to see if any players catch his eye before two crucial World Cup qualifiers against Panama next month. While Hart says his roster for the qualifiers is pretty much set, he needs a Plan B in case he needs to replace a projected starter due to injury or poor form.
"I know the squad I would like (against Panama) -- let's put it that way," Hart said after his team's final training session before Wednesday's game. "But there are too many outside factors for me to be thinking about that at the moment.
"I think (the friendly is) an opportunity for those players who didn't get in the recent international games to get into the squad."
Canada, second place in its World Cup qualifying group, is looking to build on a road win over Cuba and a draw with Honduras in June. A top-two finish will move Canada onto the final round qualifying.
Panama currently sits first in the group. Two good results in the next qualifiers would propel Canada to top spot, while two losses could prove fatal.
The squad that's been assembled in Florida is made up largely of North American-based players. Foreign-based players like Simeon Jackson, Olivier Occean and Atiba Hutchinson have remained with their clubs as most of the biggest leagues in Europe are about to open new seasons.
That has opened the door for veteran midfielders Terry Dunfield (Toronto FC) and Patrice Bernier (Montreal Impact), who were left off the roster in June, as well as some members of the under-23 team that came within one game of qualifying for the London Olympics before losing out to eventual gold medallist Mexico.
"I was in the stands for the Honduras game and I was one of the fans yelling 'come on boys just stick it away' but we had three or four good chances," Dunfield said of the 0-0 draw with Honduras. "The boys did fantastic last month and if anything were a little bit unlucky not to come away with the six points."
Forward Lucas Cavallini turned a few heads in the Olympic qualifying tournament. When Canada pulled off a 2-0 win over the favoured United States in Nashville, Cavallini, currently based in Uruguay, scored Canada's second goal of the night.
Given Canada's continuing struggles putting away chances, a fresh face on offence could be worth a look.
"The key thing for me as a striker is to score and if you keep scoring and keep scoring then they keep calling," said the 19-year-old Cavallini. "For me that's the main objective."
Hart was the assistant coach for Canada in Olympic qualifying and was impressed with what he saw in Cavallini. He says the young striker could possibly find his way into the lineup against Panama if he looks sharp against Trinidad and Tobago, ranked one spot behind No. 79 Canada by FIFA.
"If a young man comes in and gets a run and has a good performance it will boost his confidence and it might just sway the selection," Hart said.
The team trained on Tuesday in hot and humid conditions nearing 40 degrees. While the weather isn't likely to be as punishing next month for the first of the games at BMO Field, Hart's still hoping they can get some of that hot weather that Southern Ontario has enjoyed for most of the summer.
"The reality is it will be better if there is some heat in Toronto because it will prepare us better for Panama," he said. "I don't think it will be cold enough to affect Panama. We'll take whatever comes. We know it's going to be hot in Panama. There's no getting away from that but we'll be prepared for that."

T&T seniors face Canada in Fort Lauderdale friendly.
By Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).
Trinidad and Tobago’s Senior team will be looking to make the best of a rare friendly international in the second half of the international calendar when they face Canada’s Senior Men’s team in a friendly international at Central Broward Regional Park from 7pm on Wednesday.
T&T last played against Antigua/Barbuda in a friendly there in February, winning comfortably 4-0 with Devorn Jorsling scoring a hattrick and will be looking to complete a third successive win over the Canadians following up on their 2-0 and 4-0 victories in 2002 World Cup qualifiers back in 2000.
An Angus Eve wonder strike and a clever Dwight Yorke finish did the trick in Edmonton while a Russell Latapy bullet strike was the highlight of T&T’s 4-0 win at the Queen’s Park Oval. But Canada will surely remember their 1-0 win over T&T in the 2000 CONCACAF semi-final which preceded their win in the final.
Interim T&T head coach Hutson Charles will be looking to see how well his players shape up ahead of the upcoming Digicel Caribbean Cup qualifiers as well as a friendly away to Puerto Rico next month.
The likes of Slovak-based forward Lester Peltier and Orlando City midfielder Kevin Molino is sure to add some spark to the T&T attack while Vancouver Whitecaps defender Carlyle Mitchell and Seon Power possess the necessary experience to hold things steady at the back for T&T.
Philadelphia Union midfielder Keon Daniel and striker Darryl Roberts will also give Charles some extra options with midfielder Clyde Leon, Devorn Jorsling and Hughtun Hector also capable of making things difficult for the opponents. Under 23 duo Joevin Jones and Daneil Cyrus are also in the mix with Jan Michael Williams and Cleon John both capable of holding guard in the T&T goal.
“It’s a warm up game where we will be looking to see the conditions of the players and also to see how well they combine before we put the team together again for the Digicel Cup,” Charles told TTFF Media at the Sheraton Suites Plantation Hotel, ahead of a 7pm training session at the match venue.
“Some of the guys have the experience at this level and have been here before but we are also rebuilding so there’s young Kareem Moses who has been drafted in and we have other guys like Richard Roy who will obviously want to show what they are capable of doing. Just having them here with the squad is a plus for their development. “
Looking at the match itself, the former Defence Force man noted: “Canada has been doing well in the World Cup campaign and we expect nothing less than a stiff challenge from them which is also good for us because we want to be playing matches that will also benefit our preparations for later down the road. All the same, we are also playing to win so I expect the boys will go out there and try to play good football and get a result as well.”
Racing Genk midfielder Khaleem Hyland did not make the trip due to club commitments and efforts to draft in Leston Paul and Sean De Silva with the former recovering from an injury and the latter having college commitments.
Canada’s Trinidad-born head coach Stephen Hart believes T&T will give his team a good run on Wednesday. " “I thought (Trinidad and Tobago) would present us something similar to Panama with their physique and the pace that they play.
I think they've got some very good players called in and it's a matter of how long they've been together, how much time they've been together. I think, if you look at their program, they'll be looking at it over a four-year period where I'm looking at it over the next month,” Hart said.
"It gives us a chance to come together and keep talking about what our objectives are [and] what our aims are. In terms of the game itself, it'll be more about looking at individual performances, who can fit in where, maybe try something different and see who can give us a little more flexibility in the squad."
Canada defeated Cuba 1-0 and drew 0-0 with Honduras in their two World Cup qualifiers thus far. Their squad for Wednesday includes uncapped Uruguay-based forward Lucas Cavallini, experienced FC Dallas midfielder Julian De Guzman, German-based defender Marcel De Jong and Swedish-based midfielder Nik Ledgerwood.
International cricket has been a regular at the Central Broward with the T&T T20 team playing here earlier this month and based on feedback up to Tuesday, an impressive contingent of T&T fans is expected to be in attendance to show their support including some former players and athletes including Ato Boldon. Kick off time is 7pm.

i was at the game and peltier was our best threat but was subbed at the half.....apart from that our boys were quite poor. i like our football like the other guy but in all honesty, our football is in a total mess. these youngsters are not half as good as players in recent time and from where i stand these second string players are incapable of competing with upper level teams. it's not even that canada was that good but our players did not compete well.
another observation i must bring to the forefront is that our boys kept getting bumped off the ball quite easily...... it's almost like the canadians were men playing against school boys thats how tiny and frail these young men were, a lot of guys were playing out of position which kind of made things worst, i hope they get it together. bye for now. good night to all.

As a Canadian fan, I'm happy some of our u23 players got to play. Hopefully MLS will improve our depth greatly.

Are we gonna wear those jerseys from now on or was this a one time thing?
-
I heard that Juma is now the sponsor. Team was disjointed, Hudson had no choice with the subs as we had a few nursing injuries and the squad was down to 16.
Peltier threw away two in the first and was lively and looked dangerous. Molino tried hard, Seon Powers had a decent game.
Garcia was caught out of position a few times, but I found him to be making a lot of runs down the right side and seemed eager to get into the attack, he nees to elarn to temper that eexcitement and exuberance a bit and hold his defensive positioning.

I've read your response to Firebrand abt the 3 subs ... Buh ah want to build on this lil bit ... despite the 3 subs, why stick there ... under the rules he could have made more than 3 subs ... I would have liked him to have used them.

I know is a small-time friendly but ah sour over this result.

Fack that result.. Them canucks they still crying over the bronze :beermug:

Is this the best we have to offer from a Caribbean nation with a professional league? Is this the best of the bottom feeders we have to throw to other teams? 'Whipping boys' or mere plyons? An insult to our legacy of 2006!!!!!!!!
If yuh cyar field yuh best players arrange games with Samoa with India with university teams heck get a game against the Turks and Cacios and see if we could muster a pass or two to even shoot at the net.
Is not that we don't have quality players is that all we best players are still on a mysterious BLACK ARSE LIST and we dont seem to have the depth at coaching or at players locally to even jog with a jockey shorts on rightways!!!!

Garcia was caught out of position a few times, but I found him to be making a lot of runs down the right side and seemed eager to get into the attack, he nees to elarn to temper that eexcitement and exuberance a bit and hold his defensive positioning.
Thanks for the report. Peltier and Molino always bring a positive vibe to the team. But both of them need to get move into more challenging leagues. No Garcia listed for this squad, is it Curtis Gonzales you were referring to?

Is this the best we have to offer from a Caribbean nation with a professional league? Is this the best of the bottom feeders we have to throw to other teams? 'Whipping boys' or mere plyons? An insult to our legacy of 2006!!!!!!!!
If yuh cyar field yuh best players arrange games with Samoa with India with university teams heck get a game against the Turks and Cacios and see if we could muster a pass or two to even shoot at the net.
Is not that we don't have quality players is that all we best players are still on a mysterious BLACK ARSE LIST and we dont seem to have the depth at coaching or at players locally to even jog with a jockey shorts on rightways!!!!
Yeah leh we eh ignore the obvious and self praise fuh one or two players does not justify the kakaka that a bunch of so called professionals putting down on the field.
