Congrats T&T :beermug:Yea, i notice that too. But meh nuh care nuh. We in great position for hex.
Strange games...Guatemala and the US equalise almost at the same time then T&T and Cuba regain the lead at the same time as well.
Still...we beat the US....ah could'nt care less about the excuses they go make. Finally that damn record gone.
pucker up allyuh lips and kiss my ass!
Latapy is still a boss. His vision is awesome and we have no player that can replicate his plays!
Additionally, his leadership in the middle made all the difference in this game, he marshaled Birchall and had the middle like a fortress, something we have never been able to do against the USA!
Peg, listen girl, stick to cake decorating and floral arrangement.
Latapy is again T&T's saviour!
I was callin for Latas to get sub at half time lol.

Birchall is we Gattuso. De man play like ah bulldog that just get loose. His passing into the open channels on the counter was lethal, and he really pressed the issue. Ah hope men could see what it means to wear the national jersey: blood, sweat, and tears.

Latapy did not Marshall anyone, he had more bad passes than positive one. He stepped up and finished the goal, but by no means did he rally the midfield. Half the time he was playing as a 4-4-2.
Don't get it wrong. I am really glad that he was on the field and scored but he pull real stone.
If you want we can do a conference in the chat room while watching the game and we can do a break down of the game.
OH GOD I THOUGHT YORKE MISS THE PENALTY CUZ I SEE THE BACK OF THE GOAL ROLLING BY THE BILLBOARD...

Breds yuh talking shit.
latas laid off some sweet passes to Scotland, and to Edwards.
he was closed down plenty, but still he si de man.
Yuh could say what yuh want...if he did not come back, we ass dark and you and that girl name Peg woulda be making baby all now.

If yuh notice...dey cyah get de ball off Keon Daniel needah.That may be true but Keon not making no forward motion with the ball he either screen it then loss it or play inside ....I think they trying to make Keon into something he simply isn't a left winger because he really isnt gonna take on anyone and head down the wing

Ince 7 - did what he had to do.
Lawrence 8 - simply the best defender we have.
Thomas 6 - did great while he was on.
Aklie 6 - Showed something, but little to slow for the LWB position.
Spann 5 - Spann cannot play right back and made some bad passes.
Carlos 9 - played like the Carlos we know.
Birchall 10 - I say man of the match for us again.
Yorke 8 - showed leader qualities, but coming down in the end he looked tired.
Daniel 7 - still some more penetrative runs needed, but no one can touch him on the ball, he almost got away with a Riquelme famous beat but was fouled. Even helped in defence.
Latapy 7 - use his experience well, made some intelligent passes. But you can see he was getting tired, but his vision is still the BEST we have.
Scotland 6 - use his strength well, but needs to take more shots on goal.
Subs:
Hislop 7 - I was worried about Hislop, but he came on and did well.
Stern - No rating. Was up on top alone.
Hyland - No rating. Looked composed.
Congratulations, Trinis! Your team played well last night. The midfield looked especially solid, and all the players were hungry and determined. In particular, the old-timer duo of Yorke and Latapy shined. I think that quite a few of our youngsters were a bit overwhelmed by the Trini determination and spirit, and it showed.
That being said, you guys clearly received two huge gifts with those botched offside calls. Especially on the second, as Altidore would have been 1on1 with your keeper right in the middle of the box. Count yourselves lucky for that.
Anyway, good luck in your final game. I would much rather see you guys in the Hex than those dirty, diving Guats. You deserve it more.
Cheers! :beermug:

Ok..I over de euphoria of last night...kinda ;D
It was a good win, a vital win. In my opinion, T&T is proving to be one of the mentally toughest sides in the region. Those were two back to back clutch performances when we needed them most. It's no surprise that it required a solid base of players who went through the fire of the last Hex, and the Bahrain playoff. Of course, we still have to finish the job. It is by no means over. One more game left.
Assuming we make the Hex...this side needs some SERIOUS work papa. We played a very very poor USA B team and I believe that if the linesman didn't botch that offside call in the 2nd half against Altidore, you talking a very different result. We were also fortunate to get a penalty out of nothing because of Altidor's inexperience. Altidor (yeah..him again) also missed a sitter of a header basically on the goal line. And Latas 'goal'. Well...he actually missed. good fortune the keeper big head got in the way ;D We probably won't be so lucky in the Hex. But you also make your own luck and we deserved the win over the 90 minutes of play, if that concept even means anything in football.
Sadly we still play a slow, overly laborious style of football, with little change of pace when we need quick transition from midfield to defense. We need to be able to move the ball more quickly. if every man on T&T squad played with the heart and intensity of Birchall and Carlos, we'd be a powerhouse in Concacaf. Dat is why lesser or equally talented sides like Jamaica does beat we. We like to call them wild..but is 11 Birchall's they coming at us with. I mean dat alone doh win matches..but we need to improve that. Plus, the core of this team to play more together to build some chemistry. chemistry and confidence moves mountains in sport.
lastly..tactically, we not going to see much improvement in defense imo. Talles is the only man in that back 4 i think MUST start. I think we need a 2nd ball harrier to help Brichall. T&T needs a solid 5 man midfield, or we will struggle (imo). Big teams like Brazil, Argentina, France, Italy etc...play with 2 hustlers in the middle and a deep lying playmaker. Yorke is a lock as the deep lying playmaker and Birchie is our Gattusso/Mascherano/Gliberto Silva. I think we also need a complimentary defensive midfielder like a De Rossi/Cambiasso/Josue.
latas didn't look his regular self. didn't see the Guate game, but maybe lacking match practice. maybe just age. don't see him as a starter against tougher harder running teams.
Keon Daniel has tons of skill and potential, but he needs to open up and play with speed now and then..aka Carlos Edwards. We marvel at his talent, but he kills our attack almost every time he gets the ball because he allows the opponent to regroup fuss he slow on the ball. lot to be said about all that skill and ability to maintain possession tho. If he could play a little quicker at times, he would be T&T's next bonafide star. Then again..I hear he playing out of position.
Carlos..hope that was not a one-off. That was the Carlos of old. Confident, fast, determined and taking on his man with no shortage of success. The crossing is till toots (like I say..carlos of old)..but the assist on the first goal was perfection.
Yorke, Birchie, Carlos, Keon Daniel, Talles, Ince must start. De rest of the starting lineup need a little rejiggering, if last night's performance is anything to go by.
Yeah..I smiling at work. Det think I loss meh mind over here. Is not even de Hex and I feel like we jess win something huge. Imagine if we had never disband this side.
GO T&TT!!!!

Now scotland is a good player and has done well for his club, however some players are better for their club than their country, scottie has a stern john finish, they are similar players.
From watching the game I believe scottie needs to come off the bench because he was not effective, I saw mistrapping and throwing away chances, when he had a chance to dribble into the box he passed. Hes a poacher in every sense of the word.
The coaching staff should start roberts and sub on glen, john doesn't look 100% and should not have been subbed in. It is obvious when jones returns he will start, but the 2nd and 3rd option should be roberts and glen. They are the opposite of john and scottie and we need that variation upfront.
I find Scotland should start on the left wing, his speed strength is needed on that left.

To play with Zess we have to pick players with zess.
Picking a squad and telling them to run hard will never work.
For example Telesford have zess and yorke have none. but Teslesford cannot maintain possesion so we in a catch 22
In the end our players choices are limited so if we need to play slow we need to play slow.
Speed of Play is not easily increased.
The tendancy of our players is the slow build up.
To play with Zess we have to pick players with zess.KND2, You really think Yorke have no zess? I think you are confused. After watching Yorke for all these years I think he has some zess. He is just older and maybe not as energetic as before. I think you might be confusing ZESS and WILDNESS. I think that Telesford has plenty of ZESS but he is fairly wild and uncontrolled at times. This means he is not using his zess efficiently. Yorke has some zess too, but he is really composed and makes things look so easy when he hustles to win a ball or distribute a ball. Birchall has plenty plenty Zess, and he also has enough control and composure to be very effective. Yorke has zess, he just not wild and overly energetic.

Scotty in front ah who on the left wing, Keon or Hyland? He ent ready to go over deh nah Sky. :-\
I had a few friends with me watching the match in its entirety, scottie doesnt have the speed of a glen or roberts, on one occassion he couldn't beat the defender to the ball in oppositions 1st third, if it was glen, glen would have won the race, if glen is injured ok, but roberts is much better a player and he comes back in the mid to assist on defense and build up, I think the coaching staff needs to give scottie a rest, he is a good player for his club but he is failing for his country. Latas gave him some gifts for instance and he throw away and didn't do anything with them.
hear nah dat fatman who kicking air name scotland? dais de man everybody saying is de real deal? lawd look thing .. dat man is simple shithound.. put back glen upfront ..dais mi bwoy!!!!!!!!!! then hit dem de killer Stern look thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
war...

Way alyuh learn football. Scottie work really hard. He played vertically and horizontally. This kept at least 3 US defenders busy. He had little help when he got the ball and did well to hold up the ball. His work rate was great.
Stern did not replicate such work and the Coach missed when he made that sub as it gave the US defenders the opportunity to go forward. That was one of the reason the US pushed on the out of timing sub.
Scotland did well,, his early shots and deft touche, made the defender have to play behind him as they could not take the chance to cheat forward for fear that Scottie will exploit a back 2.

I have to agree with Elan with respect to Jason Scotland's good performance. I think scottie was very effective. He needs to sharpen up a bit but overall he was very good and he kept the US back line under pressure.
i find them usa commentators didnt bad talk or butcher any of we players names like foxsport does do. I guess the good working relations they had with the ttff and shaka hislop have something to do. they even interviewed Yorke after the game rather than an american player too.

Dat looking like a nice side on the road...
I not sure at home when we need a win if is the best thing though.
allya sure it was yankee commentators :devil:i find them usa commentators didnt bad talk or butcher any of we players names like foxsport does do. I guess the good working relations they had with the ttff and shaka hislop have something to do. they even interviewed Yorke after the game rather than an american player too.
I was surprised at how well the US commentators handled the game. They weren't overly critical of our players and team and didn't really question the refereeing decisions when it went against the US. They gave us credit where it was due and didn't completely focus on the US players alone as has been done in the past
To people like yourself who are probably not as knowlegable about the game, it may appear that Scottie was not effective at all. His game definitly could have been better but he was actually very effective. He was effective because the defenders were really focused on him and that gave other players more space. He was also strong enough to hold the ball up and lay it off to other guys. His movement across the field and his willingness to close down defenders when they won possesion helped our midfield get back into position and it forced defenders to give up corner kicks. These are the type of things that less knowlegable people don't notice and dont give credit for. However these things have a huge effect on the outcome of the game. I am also a huge fan of cornel glen, Daryl Roberts and Stern John, but it's up to the people in charge to pick the starting squad and choose the players that fit into their tactical plan. I think Glen was injured anyway.Now scotland is a good player and has done well for his club, however some players are better for their club than their country, scottie has a stern john finish, they are similar players.

what game allyuh watching? the DR replay ???
Birchall is we Gattuso. De man play like ah bulldog that just get loose. His passing into the open channels on the counter was lethal, and he really pressed the issue. Ah hope men could see what it means to wear the national jersey: blood, sweat, and tears.he was winnig balls in the centre and creating at the same time and by the way, YIP, YIP, YIP,AHA,AHA! :cheers: :wavetowel: :afro:
lastly..tactically, we not going to see much improvement in defense imo. Talles is the only man in that back 4 i think MUST start. I think we need a 2nd ball harrier to help Brichall. T&T needs a solid 5 man midfield, or we will struggle (imo). Big teams like Brazil, Argentina, France, Italy etc...play with 2 hustlers in the middle and a deep lying playmaker. Yorke is a lock as the deep lying playmaker and Birchie is our Gattusso/Mascherano/Gliberto Silva. I think we also need a complimentary defensive midfielder like a De Rossi/Cambiasso/Josue.
Whitely?Yorke, Birchie, Carlos, Keon Daniel, Talles, Ince must start. De rest of the starting lineup need a little rejiggering, if last night's performance is anything to go by.
Add Cyd, Sancho and Avery to the defense, Whitely to the middle, KJ as the striker and we good to go!
--------------Ince-------
El Cyd - Sanch---Tallest---Blade
-------Me Mum-----Gangsta

--Carlos------------------Skilla

Dat looking like a nice side on the road...
I not sure at home when we need a win if is the best thing though.
IMO..daz about as good as it gets wit we Midknight. If we go into a game wit dat line up & everybody healthy, I satisfied. We could do no more. :beermug:

I find Scotland should start on the left wing, his speed strength is needed on that left.

To people like yourself who are probably not as knowlegable about the game, it may appear that Scottie was not effective at all. His game definitly could have been better but he was actually very effective. He was effective because the defenders were really focused on him and that gave other players more space. He was also strong enough to hold the ball up and lay it off to other guys. His movement across the field and his willingness to close down defenders when they won possesion helped our midfield get back into position and it forced defenders to give up corner kicks. These are the type of things that less knowlegable people don't notice and dont give credit for. However these things have a huge effect on the outcome of the game. I am also a huge fan of cornel glen, Daryl Roberts and Stern John, but it's up to the people in charge to pick the starting squad and choose the players that fit into their tactical plan. I think Glen was injured anyway.Now scotland is a good player and has done well for his club, however some players are better for their club than their country, scottie has a stern john finish, they are similar players.
From watching the game I believe scottie needs to come off the bench because he was not effective, I saw mistrapping and throwing away chances, when he had a chance to dribble into the box he passed. Hes a poacher in every sense of the word.
The coaching staff should start roberts and sub on glen, john doesn't look 100% and should not have been subbed in. It is obvious when jones returns he will start, but the 2nd and 3rd option should be roberts and glen. They are the opposite of john and scottie and we need that variation upfront.
Way alyuh learn football. Scottie work really hard. He played vertically and horizontally. This kept at least 3 US defenders busy. He had little help when he got the ball and did well to hold up the ball. His work rate was great.
Stern did not replicate such work and the Coach missed when he made that sub as it gave the US defenders the opportunity to go forward. That was one of the reason the US pushed on the out of timing sub.
Scotland did well,, his early shots and deft touche, made the defender have to play behind him as they could not take the chance to cheat forward for fear that Scottie will exploit a back 2.
I have to agree with Elan with respect to Jason Scotland's good performance. I think scottie was very effective. He needs to sharpen up a bit but overall he was very good and he kept the US back line under pressure.
what game allyuh watching? the DR replay ???
Chris Birchall: 7 – How Birchall was ever left out of the team remains anyone’s guess. Did the things you want Michael Bradley to do in the center of the field. Held well while seizing his moments to plunge forward. Provided the impetus for the first goal.
100 degrees ?
Congratulations, Trinis! Your team played well last night. The midfield looked especially solid, and all the players were hungry and determined. In particular, the old-timer duo of Yorke and Latapy shined. I think that quite a few of our youngsters were a bit overwhelmed by the Trini determination and spirit, and it showed.
That being said, you guys clearly received two huge gifts with those botched offside calls. Especially on the second, as Altidore would have been 1on1 with your keeper right in the middle of the box. Count yourselves lucky for that.
Anyway, good luck in your final game. I would much rather see you guys in the Hex than those dirty, diving Guats. You deserve it more.
Cheers! :beermug:

well with your infinite wisdom you have seemed to forget that roberts and glen also help the midfield and run back on defense, and they also create space for the midfielders, not to mention they run at defenders and create opportunities, unlike scotland and they also score on occasion, unlike scotland, not to mention they trap the ball better and can actually dribble against defenders, barring glen was injured, roberts would have been a better choice by far, especially since we now have a creative midfielder, just wanted to highlight those points to people who feel they are knowledgable about the game of football.
Hey QWY u still around what's up brudder?
i find them usa commentators didnt bad talk or butcher any of we players names like foxsport does do. I guess the good working relations they had with the ttff and shaka hislop have something to do. they even interviewed Yorke after the game rather than an american player too.
what a game! I woke up the entire neighborhood after dwight scored that penalty kick.
Some will argue that 5.5 is still too high for Spann lol
Before all yuh start, "black beast" have no racist connotation eh.just last week I came across this website
In French (bête noir) and Spanish, black beast mean you nemesis, yuh blight, your insurmountable obstacle.
Funny though how many languages the word black/dark has so many negative connotations...

We is dem Haiti, USA & Jamaica all roll into one.
De only other team dem hate more dan we is Honduras. Dem 2 actually had a war over a football match back in de day. No lie!
We poison dem in 89
We poison dem in 2005
We poison dem again in 2008
I totally understand their frustration. Especially when they see us in footballing terms like how we used to see de USA back in 89, and how we see Barbados now....as a footballing non entity. Whether they correct or not...and obviously they not, they feel dey superior to we in terms of football. Dey feel dey more skillful, better players etc and view us as "WILD".
Sound familiar?

To me Keon Daniel has a nice shot...other than that I doh really rate him. Trinis love a player who appears fleet footed and could put a beat down on the opposition...so a player like Keon will be a local favorite. I think he has potential because of his physical attributes, because he can shoot and he appears to have confidence with the ball at his feet... but from what I've seen apart from the goal against Guate his actual output on the field has been ordinary at best.
Black beasts eh?I have a feeling that Ian Prescott taking that 'black beast' thing out of context. There's a french term bete noire (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bete%20noire) that yes, means "black beast", but it's not a racial reference, but rather a reference to something that's been a particular bane or source of fear.
That is a questionable comment.

Guatemalans cry over result
-Ian Prescott
Friday, October 17th 2008
Ramon Maradiaga, Guatemala's Honduran coach, has come in for harsh criticism and likewise Trinidad and Tobago for twice ending Guatemala's World Cup run, according to the country's top newspaper Prensa Libre.
La Presa's main story yesterday said: "Trinidad y Tobago, su verdadera bestia negra", which roughly translates to "Trinidad and Tobago is a true black beast".
Prensa Libre carried reports on both T&T's 2-1 win over the USA and Guatemala's 2-1 defeat, their first-ever loss against Cuba.
One report commended T&T, describing the Soca Warriors as showing they can play good football against the USA, while the other story described T&T as black beasts.
It was reported that Guatemalans packed bars and homes anticipating a good result on Wednesday against Cuba. There was a great uproar when they were level 1-1, and at the same time the USA equalised with Trinidad and Tobago in the 75th minute.
Prensa Libre reported that the night eventually ended in anger and sorrow for many Guatemalans.
Yesterday's Prensa Libre headline read: "Adios SudAfrica" (Goodbye South Africa).
And although Guatemala still have a mathematical chance of advancing to CONCACAF'S Final Round of World Cup qualifying, the consensus in the Central American country is that their World Cup chances are gone.Â
They say the beginning of the end came when Guatemala failed to beat T&T last Saturday.
That have a nice ring to it. Maybe we should start change Soca Warriors to "The Black Beast" Sound menacing. ;DNice idea.I all for that.The Guatevillians just cyah stann no small island KUTTIN DEY ASS.This sound so much like the inwardly effeminate sobbings of girly men.
That have a nice ring to it. Maybe we should start change Soca Warriors to "The Black Beast" Sound menacing. ;D
