How come so much players are from Joe Public. It appears that in order to play for the national team you will have to play for JP.
What is Rochford's status??...he was taken off injured wasn't he?? How bad is the injury??Dat look like some kinda hamstring ting to me.
How many T&T supporters you figure we have on the ground in Egypt??22
aye anybody see dat usa - germany game, what the hell was that from usa. no skills. you know every driver must follow the warning signs on the road or else you end up in a hospital looking like a damn mummy. this usa team beat us 2 - 0 in a friendly. that was suppose to be we warning signs and we didn't heed the warnings.
another thing i don't understand is how can that team beat us and we have the skills. somebody talk to me.
How come so much players are from Joe Public. It appears that in order to play for the national team you will have to play for JP.I think it's unfair to say that,i remember when Jabloteh had the majority of players on all our national teams from Men,Youth and Women nobody made mention of anything,may be i was the only person on here used to say anything about that,i am sure a lot of these youths on here while they are playing for different clubs/schools were from jabloteh.Some how we forget the Fenwick days or how it used to affect the team when Jabloteh players could not play.

That is how we does look when we playing USA and the other big teams in the region. Is just because we does have more interest in our players, we doh look at the technical aspect of the other teams play...unless it have a player on the other team who constantly poisoning we.
“Honestly I was not satisfied with my showing too much, especially in the first half. The ball kept going over my head but put that aside, it’s football we are playing so we just need to focus and do our best to try and get a win or two in the remaining games,” Hyland told TTFF Media on Saturday.
boy, more ole talk. daies all we good for, we are world beaters when it comes to that. the ball did not go over hyland's head, the game went over his head.
isn't it ironic, when you look at the standings we are in, you see the ttff last again with no points.
If we don't panic by hitting the long ball when we have position on the flanks and in the center midfield area but instead try to build up our attack we would be a much better team...
Stats will show that more long balls are lost so why use it. England was the creator of the long ball but look at their game now and you will see much more build up attack...
If we play more compact in the middle by adding a extra midfield and play just the lone striker vs these power house nations we would be a much better team...
If we defend better in 1V1 by closing down faster we would be a much better team...
If we don't ball-gaze on the crosses as was the case with the goal from the corner vs Egypt when everyone attack the ball and 2 players was left free on top the box we would be a much better team...
We need to accept the fact that our football development and coaching is not as advance to the countries in our group and this is why we have to be smart and not give the ball away easily and be more compact defensively.

Less skilled American and Canadian teams have been dominating us for the last 20 years. This is nothing new. Technically superior and usually physically bigger.

THANKS. BUT THAT EH WORKING EITHER \\
THANKS THO
That is true....the refs were correct. I stand corrected...Wha happen dey? That is ah goal....we getting rob dread.
they're saying the keeper was ahead of the ball, only 1 defender haven't seen the replay yet
how dat was offside if the man wasn't involved in the play?
thief!
we thinking jus slow we jus reactive on everything. we were jus out thought. quick corner kick and we players getting back like its a practice match and 3 italy players storm thebox. show them that dis is serious biznesss italy. one lapse is all it takes.
italy playing shit but as is our wont we playing more shit , no one seems to be able to hold onto the ball we jus kicking back to italy
how dat was offside if the man wasn't involved in the play?
thief!
Primus knocked the ball into the goal and he was in fact ahead of the all the Italian defenders except for the one on the line.
Gay's marking was slack. He let the guy run ahead of him and that was the guy who scored. Also the defenders left the winger too much room to make the cross.
Generally Hyland is too casual with his passing and is putting the team under pressure with some poor efforts. Someone also pointed out that we're giving up too many free kicks with silly fouls. Otherwise it's been a solid first half effort. A lot of the mistakes our guys making you see it in our senior players so clearly it's the way we learn the game.
Dey thief we... :flamethrower: fire pon rome!
I find gay and hyland have a starboy way bout them and they playing shit.
We go score back have faith.
We getting something from this match.
Ehy Vranes look like he ready to get a heart attack...fella real benin and breathing hard.
la Foucade is a frigging fraud. He and this idiot commentator (Villafana?) are saying that our chance was a goal because there was a defender on the line. How the hell he is supposed to be coaching the game and he doesn't even know the rule? Once there are fewer than 2 defenders between the attacker and the goal line then he (the attacker) is offside. These 2 assholes arguing the point over and over. My gosh we are an ignorant nation.

ROBBEDSM understand the frustration but the rules of the game are clear. Our goal was offsides. We often misinterpret the rules but as a certified ref I can say the refs were correct.
ROBBED
ROBBED
Unacceptable officials....our boys conceded a soft goal from switching off possibly from BEING ROBBED MINUTES BEFORE
DISGUSTING
come on lads dig deep
not a bad first half. one lapse in concentration and is punishment. our midfield needs to pass whey better than we are. hyland and paul are doing a horrible job of passing. the italians did a great scouting job on us. they know jake cant be given space and as he get d ball he being closed down quickly. our team can get back in this game if they settle down and take control of d middle.Wha' bout Akeem Adams....sah, the man cyar pass to save he life.

u serious?
So If example
Rooney burst into the box with just the keeper to beat ..no defender in sight and square the ball to Berbatov to tap it in he off?
That is shit
goal..we were robbed
That look like a legit goal to me. Boy I celebrating and then to my dismay.......
We trying to play the around the ball a bit more but to many bad passes. While some of the fouls are soft, not all of them are. The romans are diving. but I want them to feel we.Doh give them an inch, because they ain't giving us any. Yes they are pros, but we must on them like white on rice.
long ball is epl brand every wk end the yutes seeing that, but from how they playing they seem to be playing to instruction, so all i can ask 4 there is to atleast b more accurate on the long passes i am not a big footballer but geez i know players who arent no big player in the country who can pic out ther player oevr 25 yards with a pass. some of our passes where jus very very poor.Yeah but to me, he was inline with one other man as the last pass was being made in. It look like goal to me.
yo ppl u need to knw d rule of the game dont study tv 6 announcers, primus was offside. u need 2 players to b ahead of u to be on side .normally one of those players is the keeper, thats probably wat confusing men. there was only one player between primus and the goal. therfore offside
You cannot be offside on a square or back pass correct?la Foucade is a frigging fraud.

In 2005 The International Football Association Board agreed a new decision in Law 11 that being "nearer to an opponent's goal line" meant that "any part of his head, body or feet is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent. The arms are not included in this definition."[1] This is taken to mean that any part of the attacking player named in this Decision 2 has to be past the part of the second last defender closest to his goal line (excluding the arms) and past the part of the ball closest to the defenders' goal line.
How de ass was that a foul by Gay?any time they see gay on ah man back they stopping play !
GREAT EFFORT!!!!
how the hell these men cant finish... schupsss
This post is not we friend in this tourney thus far.
why the frige they crossing the ball so much, whappen no one can dribbe and play the short pass or wha?dribbling not important in todays game.what yah ent get the memo.
Dem refs giving Italy too much free kick for no reason. T&T Defense only heading de ball on clearances up de middle straight to an Italian player. Is either yuh pick out an open teammate or send that ball towards de sideline. So far we getting away with it.
chill nah is ah joke ,not about u either .why the frige they crossing the ball so much, whappen no one can dribbe and play the short pass or wha?dribbling not important in todays game.what yah ent get the memo.
It's hard to keep responses respectful when there are comments like this. If you're interested in intelligent discussion review what I said, try not to be defensive because that clouds the ability to reason. Please quote where I said dribbling is not important in today's game. Since dribbling is a basic skill and I clearly stated that basics are important. How come Italy are leading and have also provided the better chances and they aren't exhibiting anything fancy? Answer how we were able to fashion that chance where Gay hit the crossbar with exhibiting flair?
Where de silva?
this italian side aint showing me ah damn thing! neither is hyland for that matter!
65' David comes on for Adams

goal in they pwef.
Hyland is crap mansub he ass now
play a full local team oui, dem foreign based youths pulling stones.. and cant finish
This T&T side makes up for what it lacks in individual quality by being more compact and organized than any other T&T (youth) side I can remember seeing...It's nice to see us get that part of the game right for long periods....
I said it in the first game, and I'll say it again this game- I'm very proud of what I'm seeing by way of progress in our overall game by this squad.
Win lose or draw we have not looked out of place in this tournament, like we have in tournaments past.
Nice goal by the Italians. Plenty heart and committment from our team, but other than maybe tracking that trailing player better there was nothing else that could have been done. Hyland really not looking all that good when he attacking.
This is why we lose at this level.
Juma Clarence get the ball wide on the left side of the field near the half line.
NOBODY on him.
He has options behind him to play a simple pass.
No. He decide he watch Beckham plenty times so he decide to play a ball all de way over to de other side of the field HOPEFULLY to Jake Thompson...again...WITH NO PRESSURE.
Slices the ball....picked up easily by the Italians. Counter attack.
GOAL.
And this is who we dependin on for 2014?
I not attackin Juma Clarence. I attackin de mind set...which is TYPICAL of MANY of our players.
Until we have players who don't make STUPID mistakes on a REGULAR BASIS...we'll continue to lose....regularly.
We are NOT careful with the ball.
We're dispossessed too easily.
We don't concentrate because we lack discipline.
Therefore, we make stupid mistakes...repeatedly.
We lose.
lawd what wrong with us thompson is jogging back a man is unmarked free in front of him on the back post and he jus jogging bac and watching the ball. whats the point of getting back if ur not going to mark? lawd father , nah football car b so hardWHAT???? The pass was intended for Jake, the italian midfielder get it 10-15 yards in front of him....yuh think he is superman....steups....

coaching and selection, corneal in the mix :devil: excellent points palos :beermug:
our players get stripped/dispossed off the ball very easily, what is being done to improve their strength and possession? our captain is being stripped of the ball left right and centre, no control...

dude 1stly know what i am speaking about, then make a comment. ok. shit man, i realise some allyuh does jus watch where d football is, real primary sch thing anyways. the italians did not score on the play i am refering to, because the ball never reached the unmarked man.

TI which part of that mistake was due to coaching?? That was just a stupid decision by the player. Yuh hadda stop your witch hunt against the coaches sometimes and just see things for what they are....in this case, delusions of grandeur by the player.
see one of de young warriors in tears on de ground,cryin like he lorse he modda.man have heart.
Great effort overall from the boys though. Keep them together for 2014!

These 2 assholes arguing the point over and over. My gosh we are an ignorant nation.Because 2 men don't know a specific rule about football we are an ignorant nation??? ???
i doh think any football pundits would have expected We to give Italy a run. even score a goal. tough loss, the fellas play they heart out, i see men crying on ground. i hope the left MID who give the bad pass cry too. the team has improved alot from u 17 level.
Big up my BIG SIDE!!as is usual with this side.
Allyuh give 100% as is usual with this side. Coulda take some points from Italy even.
As ah man say, physically, we right dey with the rest of the world, better even in many cases. As far as I am concerned mentally we right dey too, have been since this side was U-17. Have no idea how or why this is but I personally have been enjoying the confidence in this team's play since then.
Technically, we eh too far behind the big boys either the passing is a little loose, but that is it. Other ball control is there.
Tactically we need some work. We plenty more organized than our past teams, but this area is preventing us from breaking out, particularly in midfield play. But is not to say the players cannot play a strong tactical game, I'm saying coaching is not taking advantage of these youths. "Somebody" took care of the fundamentals for once. A good coach needs to step in and make this team perform.
Our defenders are excellent. Primus, Bentick,Cyrus....We have a very good defensive unit. Hooray for that. Finally quality across the board at the back.
Somehow we have to stop the manner in which teams score on TNT........man just running in from midfield free as a bird and slapping shot on keeper directly in front of him. That is the current trend with all TNT teams it seems. Midfielders need to up their workrate and defensive play.
Again for me Primus was the best player followed by Cyrus and the defensive unit. Again Hyland was a disappointment....a surprising disappointment. Hyland, wha is yuh story pardnuh!!!??The Englishman Thomson had a harder time this game and was bun, however, in his defense, he seemed to be too all alone with no one to pass short to this game.
The local fellas perform better and seemed fitter than the "foreign" players. Ah hope allyuh take note.
Hard luck on the loss my side. Move on...all is not totally lost. Rest bout 6 on Paraguay and see what could happen after.
It seemed to me as if our players did not have composure and confidence on the ball. I got the impression that any time one of our players received a pass, he panicked leading to a loss in possession to the Italians.They played like they had two agendas ,One .they play like the 2006 Germany team and just clear every out and say screw it . And 2 Still play attacking football ,they were caught in the middle.lots of work should be done .
I could be wrong though.
Big up my BIG SIDE!!as is usual with this side.

Bullshit ,best game they ever play ,still with mistakes and players misfiring .This team has a lot of hype with it ,but they could be the real deal .
Bullshit ah say ah go wait for the Italy game ;DBig up my BIG SIDE!!as is usual with this side.

Again for me Primus was the best player followed by Cyrus and the defensive unit. Again Hyland was a disappointment....a surprising disappointment. Hyland, wha is yuh story pardnuh!!!??The Englishman Thomson had a harder time this game and was bun, however, in his defense, he seemed to be too all alone with no one to pass short to this game.
The local fellas perform better and seemed fitter than the "foreign" players. Ah hope allyuh take note.
Hard luck on the loss my side. Move on...all is not totally lost. Rest bout 6 on Paraguay and see what could happen after.
Bullshit ,best game they ever play ,still with mistakes and players misfiring .This team has a lot of hype with it ,but they could be the real deal .
You see the game ...ah thought yuh done.

....can somebody (who actually SAW the game) please enlighten me and tell me WHY our first goal was disallowed, please. Was it because of a foul or for alleged offside?

a player cannot gain an advantage by waiting for the ball near the opposing goal when there are fewer than two opponents between him and the goal.

Observer, thank you for that enlightenment, as I was not aware of that fine tuning of the offside rule "near the goal" because I guess I will need to check the laws of the game to see what FIFA define as "near."
I find that rule stupid..
Why is it there? cuz a keeper cant catch a cross and tips it to an opponent who directs the ball to a teamate who scores it with a defender on a line while ahead of the keeper... So it's there to save the keeper from embarrassment?
That is a shit rule
So basically a new "tactic" can be when defending a corner or free kick(from a distance) leave 1 man on the post and send the entire team and keeper to the half and let the attacking team score a disallowed goal
That is a shit rule...
Why does a keeper and 1 defender get so much protection in the situation? We did nothing wrong and deserved the goal... the rule is baffling ..because 2 men werent behind the keeper? my god fifa
red white and black forever
well done smalls
this team growing up nicely
go watch tapes of the U-17 WC...and if you have belly..watch dwight and dem in 1991
2 players need to b between u and the goal
2 players need to b between u and the goal
Not according to these rules set by fifa:
Offside Position
It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position.
A player is in an offside position if:
• he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the
second-last opponent
A player is not in an offside position if:
• he is in his own half of the fi eld of play or
• he is level with the second-last opponent or
• he is level with the last two opponents
Offence
A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball
touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee,
involved in active play by:
• interfering with play or
• interfering with an opponent or
• gaining an advantage by being in that position
Clarence was clearly not offside there was a defender standing on the goaline. It has to be something else other than offside.

Yes, but it was Bentick who slid the ball home....That is who the linesman called offside.

as ah man who didn't see dis game, de explanations bout de rules and what actually happen have meh lil bit confused...anybody see de goal Tevez score today against West Ham?
could somebody who watch/tape de game, spend ah lil time and watch the FIFA flash link below and tell we if is was offside or not?
http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/lawsofthegame.html
Tevez was in line or behind the player (his team-mate) so he cant be offside in any case
He was not waiting for the ball, they attacked the goal, the keeper flew out to defend and was beaten. It was hard luck there, I feel that should have been a damn goal.

well its anywhere over the half

You missing the point... at the time the ball was played towards him he was between the goalkeeper and the last defender, who was on the line. This means there was only one defender between him and the goal when the ball was played to him... according to the offside rule there must be two defenders between the attacking player and the goal when the ball is played. He must at least be level with one of the two defenders... but can't be closer to the goal than either of them. In this case Bentick was closer to the goal than the keeper.
The fact that the ball wasn't deliberately played to him and was a shot isn't a factor, in case some are wondering... nor is it a factor that the keeper went for the ball at the time.
Fyzoman link is ah damn good one.

Bakes, this is the most clear explanation I've heard over the past hours since the game ended....even last night on the various news reports they still confused....damn you think with all the technology available somebody would do the research, call up a couple referee, etc. etc. and have a educated discussion about the thing....steups....
I honestly cyah take too much credit fuh it, I juss as loss as the next man on some ah dem offside calls. Ah took the time to watch the FIFA explanation from the link though, and although I think some of it is shit... I understand the rule a lot better now. No simpler way to put it than to say the attacking player can't be closer to the goal than the last two defenders when the ball is played.He was not waiting for the ball, they attacked the goal, the keeper flew out to defend and was beaten.

I agree Sugar.. ah still eh see de goal but Bakes make it clear...maybe somebody should send de media de damn FIFA link!
99.99% of the time that goal would have stood. That is a f*cked up call. Hard luck young warriors.Italy was lucky yesterday, not the better team.Again, nice that we are 100% behind our team, but did you watch the entire match? Italy were the better team, even statistically (possession, shots on goal, etc). I'll agree that we didn't look like minnows and put Italy under enormous pressure to win the match, but we need to be realistic and accept the performance for what it was.
