NowI know how the J'cans feel during the Hex.
-
Lol... I guess we have no choice but to support Jamaica. They are playing ok, so far. Richards, Shelton, Demar are leading the entertainment crew.
Too bad Gwada's team is getting old. I guess we are going to lose them just like the great Martinique team of the early 2000 just vanished!

I watched the first half of Joe Public vs Monsterrat at the Larry Gomes yesterday (warm up for their WCQ at Ato Boldon on Wednesday against Belize). It was 1 - 1 at HT. Monsterrat's warm up and pre-game activity didn't seem so far removed from that of my fete match team. Joe Public's was more of what you'd expect.
Surprisingly Monsterrat weren't that bad going forward, shaky in defence but seemed to be playing to plan.

pfister will qualify with this team, watch and see 8)

finally...an international on trini soil!
WCup qualifying starts in Trinidad on Wednesday
By GRAHAM DUNBAR, AP Sports Writer
13 minutes ago
GENEVA (AP)—The road to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil officially begins Wednesday when the first qualifying match is played on Trinidad, the Caribbean island at the epicenter of a bribery scandal that’s shaken tournament organizer FIFA.
Three years before the tournament begins in Brazil, the first of 832 scheduled qualifiers features two low-ranked teams playing on neutral ground in suspended FIFA vice president Jack Warner’s home nation.
Because Montserrat’s home stadium doesn’t meet international standards, it faces Belize in a preliminary round, first-leg match in Couva that Warner is banned from attending.
Warner and former FIFA presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hammam are accused of paying or offering $40,000 in cash bribes to Caribbean voters in nearby Port of Spain last month. They deny the allegations.
Montserrat is among around 18 Caribbean Football Union members targeted in an ongoing FIFA investigation into the alleged bribes, but national team coach Kenny Dyer told The Associated Press that his players are focused only on their game.
“There is no distraction,” Dyer said Tuesday in a telephone interview. “There’s only one thing on their minds and that’s training and getting the right result.”
Dyer said the Montserrat squad listened to a pep talk from their federation president Vincent Cassell on Tuesday. At the same time, some of Cassell’s CFU colleagues were in the Bahamas to be interviewed by former FBI agents who are gathering evidence for FIFA’s investigation.
Bribery and World Cup football will compete for FIFA’s time and attention in the coming weeks.
Warner and bin Hammam’s expected date with the FIFA ethics committee in Zurich shapes as an unwelcome distraction before July 30, when the full World Cup qualifying draw is conducted in Rio de Janeiro where countries will discover their route to getting one of 31 spots available in Brazil in 2014.
First, there are preliminary matches in the North, Central American and Caribbean (CONCACAF) region and Asia for the likes of 202nd-ranked Montserrat and No. 172 Belize.
“It means a lot to them,” CONCACAF general secretary Chuck Blazer told The AP by telephone from New York. “It’s an exciting time for them. There’s a lot of attention focused on it.”
It was Blazer who sparked the corruption crisis by submitting evidence implicating his FIFA executive committee colleagues, but Dyer’s world is far removed from football’s power games.
“Some players are seeing each other for the first time,” said Dyer, whose squad of mainly England-based players includes just three attached to Montserrat clubs. The team last played a competitive match in October.
“We’ve got players that work in McDonalds, we’ve got accountants, a few full-time professionals, policemen,” said the 46-year-old Dyer, who played professionally in England and Cyprus. “It’s not easy trying to get players to play for Montserrat. But there’s national pride.”
Montserrat was devastated when the Soufriere Hills volcano erupted in 1995, one year before gaining FIFA membership, and its football culture has struggled since.
In three World Cup qualifying campaigns, Montserrat has never won a match, nor played on home ground.
That could soon change.
The reward for eliminating Belize could be a genuine home game at Blakes Estate stadium when CONCACAF qualifying resumes in September.
“That will be a first. The whole island will come to a standstill,” Dyer said. “Our field in Montserrat is one of the best I’ve ever seen, absolutely plush.”
In Asian qualifying, eight first-round matches begin June 29. A second preliminary round is then required to decide which 20 Asian Football Confederation members will be in the draw in Rio.
Europe’s 53 teams, including defending champion Spain, begin their qualifying groups in September 2012.
Nine South American teams begin their single-group program in October without Brazil, which qualifies automatically as host.
Africa has a preliminary round in November before a 40-team group phase starts next year.
Oceania kicks off in August with a tournament at the Pacific Games in New Caledonia.
CONCACAF’s powers, including the United States and Mexico, join play in June 2012.
Just four of FIFA’s 208 members opted not to enter: Asia’s Bhutan, Brunei and Guam plus Africa’s Mauritania.
-
Monsterrat should try and get the use of all the players in the English leagues that are eligible for them....Nathan Dyer,Lloyd Dyer,Junior Mendes etc
-
Not only that, but the 2014 World Cup Qualifying will start in T&T as well.
http://guardian.co.tt/sport/2011/06/15/montserrat-belize-play-tt-tonight
Remember, this may be your last chance to see international football in T&T for a very long time so head over to Ato Boldon Stadium tonight at 6 (or 7, its not clear) ;D

FIFA warns Belize over government interference
Reuters
ZURICH, (Reuters) – Belize has been warned by FIFA that it could face sanctions over government interference in the country’s football federation as the national team prepare for the opening match of the 2014 World Cup qualifying competition.
The Central Americans take on Montserrat in Malabar, Trinidad on Wednesday in a CONCACAF zone preliminary round first-leg tie with the return match at home on Sunday.
Even if they win, Belize could be suspended at the end of the month after the country’s government said it did not recognise the local soccer federation (FFB) or national team.
“FIFA is monitoring the situation regarding the Belize Football Federation very closely,” soccer’s world governing body told Reuters by email yesterday.
“If the current situation of apparent governmental interference is not resolved by 30 June 2011, it will be referred to the FIFA emergency committee for evaluation and potential sanctions.”
It is the latest controversy involving the North, Central America and Caribbean region after the provisional suspension of CONCACAF president Jack Warner by FIFA over bribery allegations and the subsequent removal of acting president Lisle Austin for an “apparent infringement” of CONCACAF statutes.
The Belize government said the FFB had failed to meet the requirements for registration with the National Sports Council.
John Saldivar, Minister of Sports, said last week the government had been in contact with the world governing body.
“I’ve written to the (FIFA) president (Sepp Blatter)… reminding him that the government of Belize has an obligation to uphold the laws of Belize and urging him to convince the FFB to comply,” he told the website of the Channel Seven television station (www.7newsbelize.com) in an interview.
“We have already informed FIFA that the FFB is not authorised to represent our country. So whatever selection they have put together cannot play as the national selection of Belize.”
Today’s game is due to be played in Trinidad & Tobago as Montserrat does not have a suitable venue.

tell FIFA to hull dey behind no one is above the law.If a gov't has a law or stipulation to do certain things who de hell is FIFA to tell a gov't dey have to recognize this group if they didn't meet the criteria.

This is what I have been saying all the time. By FIFA saying gov't can't touch the local affiliation, this in itself has made many of the local officials think they above the law.

So you're saying T&T will get 6 points from Jamaica. However, that is, if the permutations work out in your favour and T&T top their group since only the group winner will advance.
Then you won't have to worry about the HEX . ;D

Money, T&T has ah better chance of pairing up in with mexico or the USA as seen so many times in the past. i seriously doubt that they would put the top three caribbean teams in the same grouping. T&T , jamaica and haiti.
T&T would more be paired with either canada, mexico or USA since these three north american teams will not be in the same group. last campaign i was surprised to see canada and mexico in the same group, but you would never see T&T and jamaica in the same semi final group, it just don't make good sense.
PS: be carful what yuh wish for, it may prove disastrous.

For the third round any grouping is possible like the last qualifiers when an outdated ranking was used to select the groups. And with the new format this puts the second round top CONCACAF teams at greater risks of being knocked out by one of the smaller Caribbean teams.

Guyana beat Bermuda 2-1
The two teams played the first forty-five minutes without a goal, with Bermuda captain Khano Smith picking up a yellow card in the 36th minute, while Reggie Lambe also received a yellow card in the 41st minute. Guyana player Dwain Jacobs also saw yellow in the 44th minute.
Guyana took the lead five minutes into the second half when Vurlon Mills found the back of the net, Christopher Bourne was the second Guyana player to go in the referee’s book when he was shown the yellow card in the 54th minute. In the 59th minute Mills doubled the Guyana lead when he blasted a shot from just inside the box that flew past a stranded Freddy Hall.
Two minutes later Tyrell Burgess replaced John Barry Nusum as Bermuda went in search of a goal to get back into the game, Rogger Lee’s name was added to the Bermuda yellow card list in the 70th minute, however Bermuda’s first goal of the wualifiers finally came in the 90th minute.
Khano Smith’s left footed drive from the edge of the box beat Ronson Williams in goal for Guyana low and to his left, four minutes of injury time was shown by the fourth official, and Bermuda came close to finding the equalizer when a powerful header from a Smith free kick was saved by Williams.
Bermuda will now return home this Thursday evening and prepare for their next three games at home. The National team will play their first home match Friday October 7, vs. Trinidad & Tobago. Their second game will feature Guyana, Tuesday October 11, and the third and final match will be Barbados, Friday November 11. All games will be played at the National Sports Centre.

Must say I most impressed with the results for little Antigua & Barbuda so far in Group F, check their style!
They have won all their games so far and are leading a group that includes Haiti with a serious goal difference that means Haiti have to beat them twice home & away or risk going out of world cup qualifying with Antigua marching on as group winners!!
Check results of their games so far!!
Antigua & Barbuda 5 - 2 Curaçao
US Virgin Islands 1 - 8 Antigua & Barbuda
Curaçao 0 - 1 Antigua & Barbuda
Antigua & Barbuda 10 - 0 US Virgin Islands
And check their goal difference, 24 goals scored so far and only 3 goals conceded and today they demolished the US Virgin Islands 10 - 0!!
Respeck to Antigua, they are dealing with their opponents like they belong in the next round!!

Grenada, St Vincent out
Story Created: Oct 16, 2011 at 9:52 PM ECT
ST. GEORGE'S
Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) eliminated each other from the next stage of CONCACAF qualification for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil with a 1-1 draw on Saturday.
Both sides entered the match looking for a victory to keep their slim chances of moving forward alive, but Grenada substitute Clive Murray ensured the two sides would collect one point apiece with a stoppage-time equaliser that cancelled out an early second half strike from Myron Samuel.
The result meant that Guatemala became the second team to qualify for the semi-final stage of CONCACAF qualification, following in the footsteps of Central American rivals Panama.
Guatemala have an unassailable 12 points from their four group matches, with the Grenadians and Vincentians both on four points, and Belize at the bottom on three.
The Guatemalans will join United States and Jamaica in a semifinal round group, along with the winners of Group F. Antigua and Barbuda lead Haiti by two points in Group F.

T&T looks toward last WCQ and future
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad & Tobago -- It certainly is not the way Trinidad & Tobago envisioned its 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign ending.
On Friday, the Soca Warriors tumbled out of the competition in the Second Round by falling 2-1 at Guyana.The result gave the unbeaten Guyanese an insurmountable 13 points and the Group B title with a game to spare.
It was only a little more than five years ago that Trinidad energized football fans around the world with a creditable performance at the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany.A 0-0 tie against Sweden in the opener, followed by dual 2-0 losses to England and Paraguay, were sources of pride for the smallest nation ever to reach a FIFA World Cup.A feel-good factor had many observers believing that a return to future finals was a real possibility.
The Caribbean power gave itself a fighting chance of reaching South Africa 2010 by advancing to the last stage of CONCACAF qualifying.A last-place finish, though, created some unease and, suddenly, memories of the German adventure seemed to fade somewhat into the past.
Thus, when the Trinidadian players returned home from the loss in Guyana, their thoughts were not so much on the past; they were focused on the here and now, with a passing glance towards the future.
"These last couple of days have been extremely challenging for us as players, for the staff and somewhat for the fans too who we've heard from," team captain Kenwyne Jones told TTFF Media."There's nothing more that we would like other than to turn this around but unfortunately we can't.
"We lost a match on Friday that sent us out of the campaign and now we've had to literally pick ourselves up and put on a brave face and get on with the preparations for this game. It's the least we can do right now and go out there and try to win this match on Tuesday and look ahead to what the future holds for our football."
The cupboard is not bare and there are good prospects for the future.After all, Trinidad finished fourth at the 2009 CONCACAF Under-20 Championship and qualified for the FIFA U-20 World Cup that year in Egypt.
A great deal is expected of 22-year-old Khaleem Hyland. The midfielder joined Belgium's Genk this year from Zulte Waregem, scoring one goal in the Jupiler League and making three UEFA Champions League Group Stage appearances.He is one of only five players to have played in all five of Trinidad's qualifiers.
Midfielder Kevin Molino, 21, and defender Akeem Adams, 20, are additional graduates from that 2009 U-20 squad, who have played a part in the current qualifying process.Molino has one goal in three qualifiers.
Jones, who plays with Stoke City in England, was philosophical about Trinidad's outlook:
"We had the qualification in 2006 but we need to realize that is in the past now. We need to have some form of continuity. We have a lot of good youth players in the squad now and we just have to develop that professional lifestyle in every department of our football now."
Head coach Otto Pfister led training at Port of Spain's Hasely Crawford Stadium in advance of another meeting against Guyana on Tuesday. As professionals, the players realize that there is a game to be played and there is pride in preparation.
"The individual must have that attitude and desire to look after himself and to ensure he is as best prepared as possible to deliver," added Jones. "Exposure is a major part of it but it's all down to attitude of the individual in every juncture of his life.
"This does not relate to football alone, but to every man, woman and child and their characters if we are to move forward as a country on the whole."

CONCACAF announces 3rd round WCQ schedule.
CONCACAF.COM
11/16/2011
CONCACAF announced Wednesday the schedule of matches for the third round of FIFA World Cup qualifying in the region, starting next June.
In the upcoming round (also known as the semifinal round), winners of the six second round groups (El Salvador, Guyana, Panama, Canada, Guatemala and Antigua & Barbuda) join six teams that have thus far received byes (Costa Rica, Cuba, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico and the United States) to form three groups of four teams each.
Matchday 1 opens on Friday, June 8, highlighted by a Group A pairing between the USA, the nation with largest population in the confederation, and Antigua & Barbuda, which at approximately 88,000 inhabitants has the smallest population of any country remaining in the competition.
Group B is led by 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup champion Mexico and is expected to be highly competitive.A game between El Salvador and Costa Rica on Matchday 5 could decide the group's fate.
Honduras, which qualified for the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa along with the USA and Mexico, heads Group C.The current Central American champion starts play on June 8 at home against regional-rival Panama.
Matchdays 3 and 4 promise much excitement, as the top seeds from each group will meet each other on both days in a home-and-home series.
Times and locations for all matches will be confirmed at a later date.
The top two teams from each of the semifinal groups will advance to round four of qualifying - commonly known as the "hexagonal".
Three teams from CONCACAF are guaranteed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, with the fourth-placed team from the hexagonal facing off against the Oceania winner.

Jarvis keen to play with Antigua & Barbuda
http://www.antiguaobserver.com/?p=64191
By Observer Sports - Thursday, September 8th, 2011.

St. John’s Antigua- Antigua & Barbuda Football Association (ABFA) could soon have the services of yet another player based in England.
This is according to a report by the walesonline.co.uk website, which stated that Cardiff City striker Nat Jarvis has indicated his willingness to represent the twin-island state at the London Olympics next year.
The article further stated that Jarvis was selected for Antigua & Barbuda’s opening Group F World Cup Qualifiers against Curacao last Friday but reports are that this was hindered due to minimal red tape.
The 19 year old, according to the site, is however hoping to represent Antigua & Barbuda when they play both Curacao and the USVI this month.
Another England-based player said to have expressed an interest in representing Antigua & Barbuda is Nottingham Forest’s left-winger Dexter Blackstock.
Blackstock, whose mother is reportedly Antiguan and his father Jamaican, could join the squad at some point during the World Cup Qualifiers as well.
Reports are that the ABFA has identified at least 15 players based in England and elsewhere who are eligible to play for Antigua & Barbuda.

Things always look straight forward beforehand but there is always one performer who lets themselves down and another who performs above expectations! Don't forget what happened in our group and also in Haiti's group in the 2nd round!
At least one of these three teams Canada, Guyana & Antigua is going to get surprise victories against the other higher rated teams in their group! Just watch and see, there is going to be a couple of upsets!! :beermug:

That would be true if Antigua & Barbuda's qualifiers were all home games. And it would be quite a stretch, even then. If there is a big scoreline in their first qualifier away against the USA then the A&B players will be a bit demoralised and self confidence will be low, at home against a strong Reggae Boyz squad who would have just taken 3 points from Guatemala in their first qualifier at "The Office". :beermug: :thumbsup:

This is their local based team playing these friendlies, they drew tonight 2-2 with Martinique.

Never understood that TBH. you will never see england france or any of the top teams in the world play a friendly on an international date with their local or B squad.
i think if we want to improve here in the caribbean, w have to start playing these friendlies with our best players, and demand their clubs release their foreign players and exercise their right to given to them by FIFA.
IMO playing these matches with your B team is pure bunk! and theres absolutely nothing to be gained.

Cool, releasing players is not an issue with clubs. The problem is the manner in which they go about preparing for important fixtures. There is no rhyme or reason when it comes to planning football for the senior team football. Now the league is following the FIFA calender is more comesse. What is TTFF plans. We don't know or they don't even know themselves.

This is not a FIFA date right now when they are playing Martinique (last night) and Guadeloupe (tomorrow). The next official FIFA date is June 8 but Guyana expect to have their full compliment of overseas players for the Jamaica friendly in May...I'm not sure who will turn out for the Parbo Bier Cup at the end of May, probably a mix of overseas and home-based. Also sometimes teams can't afford to bring in their overseas players for all FIFA dates.

Yeh i understand that worm, but lemme tell yuh, this, the only time i ever see ah full contingent of players FIFA date or not, @ least here in TT, is when we have qualifying, the gold cup or we playing some big team like england, but other than that, is pure nashy thin foot locals in the frey, and when is time for the real deal, these same 2nd string boys don't even get selected in the final 22. it just makes no sense WSE!
i want to see our best players on the field during these fifa sanction dates playing these friendlies, not these local boys who is barely capable of beating the best teams in the region, and who would never stand a chance of being selected over a foreign based player anyway.
-
That kind of shit opposition in now way will get them ready for Mexico in the Azteca. but I guess if none of your pros are available no better team would want to play them.
Debut vs. Mexico in the Azteca.
Good luck, they going to need it.
VB
This is their local based team playing these friendlies, they drew tonight 2-2 with Martinique.
I know. By pros I meant players abroad. Does Guy. have pros at home?
-
is pure nashy thin foot locals in the frey,
oh shit man Just Cool...

I'm hearing Guyana lost 7-1 to Colombia today in a behind closed doors friendly, not an official match though.

Armchair Analyst: Now or never for Canadian generation
JUNE 1, 2012
Matthew Doyle
MLSsoccer.com
The last 25 years have been kind to CONCACAF soccer nations.
Mexico are on the verge of becoming a legitimate world power. The United States have qualified for the last six World Cups, made the knockout rounds in three of them and finished in the top three of two Confederations Cups. Jamaica, Costa Rica and Trinidad and Tobago all made their first appearance in the World Cup.
Dwight Yorke became a star on one of the best loved, and best remembered Champions League winners (the 1999 Manchester United side). Rafa Márquez had his stay at the top with Barcelona, while Hugo Sánchez became a legend in Madrid. Brad Friedel is still going strong in England. David Suazo scored more than 100 goals in Italy.
And then there’s Canada.
Few remember it now, but up until the late 1980s, Canada were actually in better shape than the US. They were hardly a juggernaut, but they put together enough pieces and developed enough of a soccer culture so that, when they qualified for the 1986 World Cup, it wasn’t a total shock.
DeRo named May's Player of the Month
What is shocking is how inept the Canucks have been in World Cup qualifying since then. The only time they came close was in 1994, finishing second to Mexico.
In the four subsequent cycles, the best they did was dead last in the 1998 Hexagonal, scoring just five times in 10 games.
They were eliminated in 2002’s semifinal round as they scored just once. Four years later, again in the semis, they finished bottom of the table behind Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras. And Canadian futility reached an all-time low in the 2010 cycle, as they managed to go winless in the semis just one year after looking like the breakout team at the 2007 Gold Cup.
US fans who think they have it tough should look north for a bit. It’s not easy being a Canadian soccer supporter.
The most brutal part about it, though, is that this generation’s team has consistently been so much less than the sum of its parts. Dwayne De Rosario is one of the five best players in MLS history; Atiba Hutchinson was the best midfielder in Denmark for five years, and is now a starter for PSV Eindhoven; Julian de Guzman is a quality tempo-setter who was the best player at the 2007 Gold Cup; Olivier Occean led the 2.Bundesliga in scoring this season, and led his side to promotion in the process.
The list goes on. Simeon Jackson is a super-sub goal scorer for Norwich City in the English Premier League; Kevin McKenna has more than a decade of experience in Germany’s top two leagues at central defense; Michael Klukowski has played north of 200 games for quality teams in Belgium and Turkey; Will Johnson, Iain Hume, Ante Jazic, Dejan Jakovic, Andre Hainault ... all of these are quality players. All have been around the Canadian team for years.
This is, on paper, the third-best team in CONCACAF. And there’s precious little to show for it.
Nobody would have guessed that would be the case after that 2007 Gold Cup. Those Canadians stretched the US to the limit in the semifinals, and only an (highly dubious) offside call on a late Hutchinson would-be equalizer gave the Yanks the 2-1 win. It probably should have gone to extra time, with the Canucks up a man and tilting the field more or less at will.
The 2010 qualifying cycle was supposed to be their chance for redemption and – in the eyes of some – revenge for a flag-happy linesman. Instead they flopped, finishing 0-2-4 with six goals scored and 13 conceded.
The Canadian national team has been adrift since then, and Sunday’s friendly against the US is the beginning of this group’s last chance to make good on their collective talent. De Rosario, de Guzman, Occean, McKenna, Klukowski and Jazic are all on the wrong side of 30, while Hutchinson is 29 and Hume is 28.
The window is closing. Head coach Stephen Hart needs to ditch the ultra-conservative tactics that left his side impotent in last summer’s Gold Cup and show some faith. Let DeRo be DeRo. Let Jackson run off of Occean’s shoulder. Put de Guzman and Hutchinson in the same central midfield. Take the fullbacks off the tether, and trust McKenna to keep the central defense organized.
It’s time for Canada to go at teams with gusto rather than caution, because caution simply hasn’t worked.
It’s been a long 25 years for Canadian soccer. This generation was supposed to change it.
If they’re going to do so, it has to happen now.

Just when allyuh think things bad, Trinidad and Tobago in teh same boat. And look nah Canada have money . facilities, and the know how. They should be miles ahead then again yuh have a vast country where Hockey rules and football is well not the game yuh run around and kick ah ball.
I say Stephen Hart leave cushy Canada and come built up we team back home.

This is misleading. Canada realised around 2008 that they would only be lucky WC competitors in the future if they continued as they were. So they decided to seriouly fund a programme that would not only see them qualify for 2018, but would firmly place them as one of the top 3 CONCACAF nations in the future.
I'm not sure how they are doing with this, but I remember last year, there were lots of praise for the Canadian youth teams.
There's not much they can do about their current crop of players, but planning for the future is a sound plan.
I remember how USA were still rubbish during their first NASL days, but the interest generated by Pele & co was sufficient to attract many younger players who previously would have played the traditional U.S. sports. Within 10 years they had created a system that saw them qualify for every WC since 1990.
This is the pattern T&T need to follow.
All jokes aside, we have the CoE with accomodation. Why aren't our top 30 under 14's and under 16's living there on a football scholarship programme? Why doesn't TTFF get funding to pay for 3 16 year olds to be placed at all Pro League clubs on a joint development incentive plan where the host club receives a percentage of future sell on fees? If you got really serious, some players could be subsidised to join overseas clubs.
If the govt recovered the missing TT$100 million from 2006 this academy could be funded for 10 years right there!

You know that sometimes you talk so much shit that if you died I felt that you would come back as a roll of toilet paper. BUT......! This is good talk I getting from you these past few days.
Your short discourse on what direction football development should take in your post above is in my opinion superb.
The CoE has been used as Jack's personal play thing while its resources have been put to sparse use. Jack has been a cancerous sore on the T&T footballing fratertinity and now we are in a state of terminal illness. We need some serious radical chemotherapy to rid ourselves once and for all of JAckula's scourge.
But alas, Kamla has her nose so far up his ass, she could smell his farts and tell what he had for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Imagine there is incontrovertible evidence that he does indeed own the CoE but he remains in her innermost circle and a High Ranking Government Minister.
Only in f**king Green Fig Republic Trinidad and Tobago!

The feeling is indeed, mutual. Worryingly, this relationship is becoming reminiscent of my first marriage :rotfl: Lets get some counseling and work together to rebuild T&T football!!!

"Your short discourse on what direction football development should take in your post above is in my opinion superb"
TT, I can't take full credit for these opinions. They were developed over many Caribs with Sancho & Jeffrey with input from Kelvin Jack. These are the guys who should be given a chance to develop football, along with many other bright T&T footballers who are equally frustrated.

Don't be surprised if you/we all ever come to find out that it's much more than that (just from the '06 WC alone) that jack done tief from Trinidad Football eh.

Good to see de two ah allyuh could put aside allyuh differences and find common ground. I think you both have good ideas and TT definitely have the passion to drive them ideas to greater things beyond the forum where Trinidad Football is concerned. :beermug:
-
Ahem, moderators this topic wasn't about WC...maybe development ideas...anyhow...
Add: or Regional football,or football in Canada, even a what we can lear thread....but I guess Stoke, ManU Ans such threads more critical, so they have there own ?
FS
I don't think those ideas so sound, dey nice, it would be good.. But the reality is they not happening now, and more so, may never happen...so over Caribs is where they should stay....
TT governments can't even keep a man who confessed to trying to overthrow them, a man who destroyed, and attempted murder ,if not more - under house request....they sue hm, he sue them back...and they will get back money from jack Warner ?...to do something for a Sport , where there are no garantees of long term consistent success, where the most successful has to leaves the shores, and if you get 50 % of those to give back through education/coaching or finances, yuh get plenty...yeah, donate boots, balls & jerseys..I do that, and I not committed...therefore, very little ROI....if all dem ballers who pass thru the National team program, would give 2 % of dey Salary, & some Community Service every 2 years of dey Off season, and we had a strong intergral TTFF body to monitor/organize/co-ordinate & lobby/canvass business & as well as a government and everyone to lead each other by example & action, maybe we could become a developed nation, in all aspects, including football.
But many TTians raised trying,asking,taking,getting what dey want, and very few dedicated souls, ever teaching them how to give back. Some do, but a drop in the bucket of what could be accomplished.
And it doesn't help when there are politicians , who spoil the ppl by not only messing up the giving, some to much, and others to little, but introduce throw way & pocketing into the mix..and everybody passing on we street and taking a lil thing wha we throwing way, to improve deyself :D
Yuh think we easy..hopefully Doh, one day, ah could buy some Carib too, Doh my afterdrinks suggestions are of a more National socio-Econ, and 1 or 2,world issues as well, but is probably cause I drink more Blue & Bud, than Allyuh...so mrsG figure anyway ;D

`This is the game of our lives and careers’ – National Coach Jamaal Shabazz
Azteca baptism awaits Golden Jaguars

Mexico City, Mexico - Guyana’s Golden Jaguars and CONCACAF powerhouses Mexico ranked 99th and 19th in the FIFA world rankings lock horns in a group B encounter on the opening day of the third round 2014 World Cup qualifiers at the world famous Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, from 7:00 pm (8:00pm Guyana time).
Coach Jamaal Shabazz speaks to reporters yesterday.
Although five other matches will also be kicking off almost simultaneously around the North, Central American and Caribbean Zones in Group B, A and C – this game carries the most interest since it is set-up as your archetypical “David vs Goliath” match-up, due to the two nations football histories.
Mexico colloquially referred to as “El Tri” has qualified for 14 of the 19 FIFA World Cup competitions.
The Jaguars on the other hand do not have such significant football accomplishments on their curriculum vitae and only recently had its greatest national football moment when they toppled Caribbean football giants Trinidad and Tobago in the previous round – a night that Guyanese football enthusiast now term “11-11-11”.
Add this to fact that the Azteca is sound fortress for the Mexicans with them having not lost a competitive or friendly game on this hallowed venue since 2002 – which is most famous for hosting the game of century (Brazil vs Italy 1970 World Cup final) and Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God Goal” in 1986.
Campaign Preparation
Both sides have gone about their preparation for this semi-final round in drastically different manners.
With the altitude factor always very prominent when teams visit Mexico the Guyana team held a training camp in Columbia where they played two games along with friendly internationals in Panama and Jamaica over the past month and although they lost all of those games – the purpose of those matches was targeted towards today’s encounter instead of whether the team was triumphant or unsuccessful.
The Mexicans played three friendlies in America versus Wales, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Brazil winning all of those matches. Their 2-0 win over Brazil although it was an Under-23 Olympic side mainly, was greatly praised by coach Jose Torre at a press conference yesterday, in which he praised the performances of his Carré Magique (Magic Square) attacking strikers Javier Hernandez, Giovanni Dos Santos, Pablo Barrera and Andres Guadardo.
Shabazz and Nurse thoughts
National coach and captain Jamaal Shabazz and Chris Nurse spoke briefly before the team left for training yesterday and both although positive in their outlook, were suffering from no delusions of grandeur of the task that awaits the team.
“This is a big moment for Guyana and the toughest game we will ever face in our life and a opportunity we are ready to take. It’s a great learning experience and what a game for our lives and careers – may we live in interesting times,” said Shabazz.
Some members of the Golden Jaguars team going through their paces last night.
Speaking about tactics and his feelings about how the team has adapted to the altitude during the camp SHabazz said: “We will be forced to defend for long periods, so this game will test our character and ability to be disciplined and constant. We have done the preparation that we can do and the commitment shown by players thus far has been first class and we look forward to giving our best for our country”.
Nurse, who is the only player in the Guyana team to play high level football in Mexico for his North American Soccer League side Carolina Railhawks during the CONCACAF Champions league, echoed much of what Shabazz said.
Speaking at the opening reception the Guyana team received on their arrival in Mexico, flocked by a crescendo of local reporters Nurse said:
“As Gaffer (Shabazz) said we are away from home in Mexico, altitude is going to have a massive say on the style we play, regardless if you are fit as a fiddle, based on my experience of playing in it – is very difficult to breathe. For some people it can take months, so hopefully the camp would have put the boys in good stead. It was an experience for all of us how those journalists flocked us when we arrived. We see it on TV, but to have it happen for us, made us all appreciate the top level international we are at right now,” Nurse reasoned.
Approximately 80,000 to 90,000 fans according to the Mexican Football Association are expected to flock the stadium that hold 105,000 at full capacity and both Nurse and SHabazz concluded by suggesting that playing in front of such a large and likely hostile home crowd could inspire the Jaguars to do something great on the night.
Players to watch
Shabazz acknowledged that the Guyana team is resigned to playing a defensice style and said how quickly Guyana on the counter attack can get the ball up to strikers Carl Cort and Gregory Richardson when they are in goal-scoring positions, may turn out to be a key for the visitors.
Guyana also have a massive height difference advantage over Mexico, so once they manage to breathe well on the night, set-pieces goal options may also prove invaluable for them.
With their short stature, low center of gravity and lightning quick turn of pace that can embarrass the best of defenders in world football – the Guyanese back-line that will be marshalled by Leon Cort, John Paul “JP” Rodrigues and Charles `Lilly’ Pollard will know they have to bring their A-game to the table to keep the Msxico strikers quiet over 90 minutes.
However El Trini isn’t all about attack, since captain and former Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez, brings experience and composure in leading the back-line.
Guyana Football Federation acting President Franklin Wilson, Aubrey “Shanghai” Major, Faizal Khan, Mark Phillips of the Georgetown Football Assocation and Dexter Austin of Western Tigers are some of the notable football personalities from Guyana expected to be at the game.
Guyana 22-man squad: Goalkeepers – Ronson Williams, Richard Reynolds, Colin Edwards, Defenders – Leon Cort, Charles Pollard, JP Rodrigues, Walter Moore, Howard Newton, Chris Bourne, Aubrey David, Midfielders – Chris Nurse, Kayode McKinnon, Konata Mannings, Kester Jacobs, Dwight Peters, Dwain Jacobs, Howard Newton, Strikers – Gregory Richardson, Anthony Abrams and Shawn Beveney.
Jamaal Shabazz – Head Coach, Wayne `Wiggy’ Dover – Assistant coach, Managers – Rawle Adams and Mark Xavier, Physiotherapists – Donna Marie Wickham, Debita Harripersaud, Andrew Hazel – Goalkeeper coach, Trevor Burnett – equipment manager.
Mexico squad: Goalkeepers – Jose Corona, Guillermo Ochoa, Alfredo Talavera, Defenders – Rafael Marquez, Francisco Rodrguez, Carlos Salcido, Hector Moreno, Severo Meza, Israel Jiminez, Hugo Ayala, Jorge Nino – Mid-Fielders – Jesus Molina, Edgar Andrade, Pablo Barrera, Angel Reyna, Jesus Zavala, Luis Perez, Andres Guadardo, Edgar Lugo – Strikers – Javier Hernandez, Giovanni Dos Santos, Aldo Di Nigris. Coach: Jose Manuel de la Torre.

I anticipate some good licks for these men about 6 to 8 - 0.
A good day for Guyana will be about 4-0.
Will be interesting to see what happen in their first home encounter.
I glad for Pollard and Jackie Chan - two of the better players from Guy. who always deserved to play a higher level of football.
VB
-
I hope you are right vb and I also hope Guyana could hold them to 4 or less,I dont expect them to score, all I can say is that Guyana would have to hope that Mexico is at their worst,better teams have suffered some humiliating defeats in Mexico.This is unknown territory for the Muddies.
-
Give them credit, they trained in Colombia. But unless they spent at least a month straight there and went directly to Mex. I don't see it making a great difference.

I sorry for guyana but I see dey getting about 13 today..

Wasn't Ricky Shakes a member of the team? What happen to him? Did I miss his name from the team?

Wasn't Ricky Shakes a member of the team? What happen to him? Did I miss his name from the team?
Yes, and he was with the team in Colombia. I'm not sure if that squad list is accurate as Shabazz mentions how Carl Cort is likely to play in the article but he's not in the squad the listed. I know they made some cuts from the squad in Colombia the other day, so its possible he got cut.

In de Guyana game a defender without any pressure head de ball right on top the 18 for a mexican to blast it in for a goal. And in de Antigua game a man decide to foul a player for a penalty with another defender right there to cover.The IQ of Caribbean players is appalling.

I agree, the crossbar and a poor finish towards the end resulted in Guyana missing out. This Guyana team is definitely one to watch for the future. Shabbazz seems to be doing a good job.

Spot on breds.
same with our old team, talent to burn, but lack of concentration and text book mistakes especially in the defensive third, allowed teams like costa rica , mex and USA to appear superior.
caribbean football needs serious restructuring if we are to be taken seriously in the world of football, but then again, look who lead the union for eons.
-
Imagine, we have top players but we sitting home watching a "semifinal" round of qualifying!
and it's not that we're not talented enough, it's just that the crabs who have a hold on that country, from the politicians to the sports administrators treated our countries resources like it's their own personal business, and the sheep down there sit down and allow them to get away with it.
is ah long time now somebody shoulda dun bun dung jackula castle, fire some corn behind camps and kidnapp two ah jack sons tuh leh dem know dat we serious!! (leff we mdcnt football be!) but what we trini do, allow dem tuh run we show without any kind of fuuukin resistance.

Panama??!!
Anyone surprised at Panama's 2-0 victory away in Honduras hasnt been watching them recently. Panama actually played in the Gold Cup Final a couple years ago, and only last year they actually defeated the United States at the Gold Cup. This is a team with a very lethal front line, and some very experienced defenders, i believe half theyir players play in various leagues in South America. It wasnt surprising to me also that they recently just snapped Jamaica's 5-years home winning streak in a set of two friendlies where they beat Jamaica 1-0 and 2-1 respectively. Honduras goos is cooked now...they have commited the cordinal sin of losing @ home, they have to play catch up now.
Also, hats off to Antigua and Guyana for putting out good efforts against the USA and Mexico respectively. The days of USA and Mexico drubbing caribben teams 6 and 8 nil seems to be behind us now. Tough luck Cuba, but it shows how poor Canada is on the road.
Jamaica - Disappointing result in the end...they played well enough to have come away with a 3-0 win, and an excellent chance to get a +2 or more goal average on the team they will most likely be fighting directly for the second spot through from the group. Jamaica will now have to go to Guatemala and get a tie or victory to ensure passage (along with very good results vs Antigua). But 3 points is 3 points, ill take it.

Trinidad football ha to be rel toots..... :(
I didn't expect to hear that coming from you,try and be a little positive nah man.I must say everyone thought Guyana would have gotten crushed by Mexico but credit to Shabazz who has done such a good job with those guys,i must commend them for a fine performance on the big stage and for reaching there.Well done Guyana show people you deserve to be there.
-
Excellent result by Guyana and Antigua. They can take heart from those results. People have to remember that those games were away from home.

What game you and coop watch sar ?? ???
dem men get run over bro! the only reason that they scored was bc those two teams took their foot of the peddle and was coasting ah bit.
last night i was actually ashamed for them. in regards to ATB, it's only when peter bayers came on that they showed any kind of footballing ability. if the US had come prepared for them the way they come prepared for tougher opponents they would demolish them dread dread.
as for guyana, stuuueeepppssssss!!!!! they barely strung three passes together, and looked totally out classed by mexico. these two teams is ah direct reflection of the lack of care that CFU nations suffered @ the hands of their hungry belly leaders.
AJW and co could have done so much more for CFU, but instead they used the opportunity to take care of their personal business.
right now, the caribbean need to have a league similar to the euefa league (something like the champions league) where the top caribbean teams play in a league settings simultaneous to the regular league just like in europe. as for caribbean football, boy....... IMO it's piss poor, and last night was a clear indication! we must do better if we want to beat the likes of MEX USA and CR..
BTW, yes they played with heart, and yes they didn't lay down, but all the congratulatory gestures is highly unwarranted! bc they could have conceded much more goal had they not been so lucky.

Trinidad football ha to be rel toots..... :(
I didn't expect to hear that coming from you,try and be a little positive nah man.I must say everyone thought Guyana would have gotten crushed by Mexico but credit to Shabazz who has done such a good job with those guys,i must commend them for a fine performance on the big stage and for reaching there.Well done Guyana show people you deserve to be there.
Excellent result by Guyana and Antigua. They can take heart from those results. People have to remember that those games were away from home.
What game you and coop watch sar ?? ???

Men eh watch how disinterested USA was at the end of the game, I have never seen the US so unprofessional and flat. Mexico just getting the ball wide and crossing, If was USA they playing you woulda see through ball and knock around the box. Mexico just go through the game in Nuetral they eh even get into first gear.

Mexico defeat Golden Jaguars 3-1 at Estadio Azteca
Written by
Saturday, 09 June 2012 21:37
MEXICO CITY, Mexico - A spirited second-half performance could not prevent Guyana’s Golden Jaguars from going down 3-1 to CONCACAF giants Mexico on the opening day of Group B action in the third round of the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers at the Estadio Azteca Stadium last Friday night.
Golden Jaguars’ Gregory ‘Jackie Chan’ Richardson (#11) is given a hug by one of his team mates, following Guyana’s goal against Mexico, which he initiated.
Scoring the goals for Mexico were Carlos Salcido (10th), Giovanni Dos Santos (14th) and a John Paul ‘JP’ Rodriguez own goal via a Javier Hernandez flick in the 50th minute, while another own goal, awarded to Hector Moreno in the 60th minute off a deflected Gregory ‘Jackie Chan’ Richardson shot, accounted for the Jaguars’ lone strike.
The Jaguars stepped onto the world famous stadium to an electric atmosphere that was highlighted best by how the Mexicans in the crowd sang the national anthem in the stadium in a loud and emotional manner and the sight of home town hero Javier Hernandez kneeling and praying before kick-off.
In front of an almost capacity home crowd, which according to the Mexican Football Association reached almost 100 000, proceedings commenced with Mexico’s ‘El Trico’ putting on a passing exhibition that would have made Barcelona proud.
The ultimate tiki-taka movement was on display as they strung together almost 30 passes in the first five minutes of play, before Guyana touched the ball and the Mexicans opened the scoring when a sharp left-wing cross by Andres Guadardo was not cleared sufficiently, and left-back Carlos Salcido, arriving in mid-field, volleyed in the opener.
Soon it became 2-0, following some more world-class combination play from the Mexicans who literally parted the Jaguars defence that national coach Jamaal Shabazz set up very tight, in similar manner to when Moses parted the Red Sea.
First right-winger Pablo Barrera flummoxed left-sided players Howard Newton and Walter Moore with some intricate close control, before passing to his midfielder, who found Hernandez, who later played an audacious back heel into the path of Dos Santos whose shot slammed its way past the outstretched palm of Guyana custodian Ronson Williams.
Things were certainly not going according to plan for the Jaguars and with the deafening crowd screaming and booing every time they touched the ball, a procession of goals from the home team, especially their ‘El Trico’ was feared.
However, the Jaguars gradually got better as the half progressed and got their best chance of the first half in the 43rd minute, when the home team made their first blunder, to which striker Carl Cort, who had a wonderful game, pounced on the loose ball, darted wide and sent a sharp cross into right-winger Ricky Shakes, whose resulting header went wide of the mark.
When the second half resumed, Shabazz brought on Gregory Richardson for Howard Newton, with intent on attack after a first half in which he instructed the team to be disciplined defensively.
But it was Mexico who continued to do the attacking when another Guadardo cross from the left was tucked home neatly by Hernandez and the crowd erupted to the approval of their star scorer on the night, only for the goal to be later changed as aforementioned to an own goal.
The final 30 minutes of the game genuinely saw the Jaguars dominate as the Cort/Richardson combination made the Mexican defence work and an uncharacteristic third blunder in the mid-field area by the Mexicans, was finally finished off by the Jaguars.
Shakes flew forward from mid-field, passed wide to Richardson who ran left and his hard shot was deflected off Moreno and away from keeper Jesus Corona to make it 3-1, much to the delight of his team mates and technical staff.
Shakes, who was having an outstanding night on the field for the Jaguars, got into the action a few minutes later, when he sent a sharp right-wing cross for Cort whose superb volley found its way to the top of the crossbar with Corona already beaten, much to the agony of the Guyana technical staff.
Anthony Abrams and Dwight Peters were the other substitutes brought on and they continued the modus operandi of attack in the final minutes, where in summary if Guyana were more clinical, would have seen the result reading 3-2 or 3-3.
The Mexico defence, without their regular captain and experienced defender Rafael Marquez, seemed to lose their defensive shape, as the Jaguars attacked them in the latter stages.
Guyana can take much heart from this performance as they now come to host the other CONCACAF giants in the group Costa Rica, in their second Group B encounter at the Guyana National Stadium on June 12.
The starting 11 reads: Guyana - Ronson Williams, Jake Newton, Leon Cort, John Paul ‘JP’ Rodrigues, Walter Moore, Ricky Shakes (Dwight Peters - 71st), Chris Nurse (captain), Kester Jacobs, Howard Newton (Gregory Richardson - 46th), Kayode McKinnon and Carl Cort (Anthony Abrams - 80th). Cautions: Chris Nurse - 24th minute
Mexico (formation: 4-3-1-2): Jesus Corona, Severo Meza, Javier Rodriguez (captain), Hector Moreno, Carlos Salcido, Jesus Zavala, Andres Guadardo, Pablo Barrera, Giovanni Dos Santos (Angel Reyna - 60th) , Aldo De Nigris (Alfredo Talavera - 80th minute), Javier Hernandez.

I don't have issues with Shabazz football. He did his job to get where he is. He is doing a fine job with Guy. Yes they losing but He has installed some pride in them. Honestly, I glad for them. Since their Independence this is the furthest they have reached. Some of us was real small or not even born yet when was playing in the Hex for previous WC campaign. I really want this to hurt all football loving fans of TT. Like when we lose in the Italy campaign. It made us hungry. Dwight and Latas was desperately hungry. Let it burn.

CONCACAF W/Cup Qualifiers
Reggae Boyz held by Antigua as Guyana suffer drubbing
Published: Thursday, June 14, 2012
NEW YORK—Guyana suffered their second loss in five days when they were blitzed by Costa Rica but Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz had their progress stymied when they were held to a frustrating nil-all draw by Antigua, in the third round of CONCACAF 2014 World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday night. Playing at the National Stadium at Providence in Georgetown, Guyana were undone by Alvaro Saborio’s hat-trick to lose 0-4 after finding themselves down 0-2 at half-time. The Real Salt Lake forward put the visitors on the scoresheet as early as the 20th minute after being set up by Bryan Oviedo and doubled the lead six minutes later as Costa Rica assumed command of the fixture. Saborio completed his hat-trick seven minutes after the halftime break when he combined again with Oviedo to dismantle Guyana’s back line. Joel Campbell then added Costa Rica’s fourth, 13 minutes from the end to pile on the misery for Guyana who also lost to Mexico last Friday. In St John’s, the Reggae Boyz’ hopes of etching their second win were dashed when Antigua produced a sterling defensive effort to steal a point at the Vivian Richards Stadium.
The visitors were defied in large part by goalkeeper Molvin James who mustered a Herculean effort between the uprights to keep a clean sheet. Clad in gold, Antigua were cheered on by an estimated 8 000 spectators who chanted the team’s moniker “Benna Boys, Benna Boys, Benna Boys” throughout the game. That did not faze the favoured Reggae Boys who spent much of the first half trying to get past James. James kept out several attempts by the Jamaicans, including a golden opportunity from Jevaughn Watson 18 minutes into the second half.
Meanwhile Antiguan striker Peter Byers brought his side close to scoring in the 23rd minute of play but he shot straight at goalie Dwayne Miller, in for regular custodian Donovan Ricketts who was injured. Another attempt in the second half saw Byers weaving his way through the Jamaican defense but the ball was swept inches away from the crossbar. Jamaica, who beat Guatemala in their opener last weekend, have four points in Group A along with the United States while Antigua are bottom of the standings with one point. The US, meanwhile, were held to a 1-1 draw by the Guatemalans after Clint Dempsey put them ahead five minutes before half-time and Marco Papa equalised with seven minutes remaining. In Group C, Cuba lost their second straight with a 0-1 loss in Panama City while Canada and Honduras drew nil-all in Toronto. Giants Mexico, however, kept up their winning run when Hector Moreno scored eight minutes from time to seal a 2-1 win in San Salvador. (CMC)

Guyana sees benefit from CCL in WCQs
CONCACAF.COM.
GEORGETOWN, Guyana - In order for Guyana to continue making a positive impression on the international stage, its players need to compete daily at the highest level possible.
With a pair of World Cup qualifiers against El Salvador over the next eight days, the Golden Jaguars know that they can depend on squad members playing with and against the best in the region through the CONCACAF Champions League.
Team captain Chris Nurse, striker Gregory Richardson, Walter Moore, Aubrey David and Trayon Bobb have all been involved in meaningful Champions League action in recent weeks, as they prepare to join their team mates ahead of Friday's qualifier in San Salvador.
Moore, David and Bobb play for Trinidad Pro League side Caledonia AIA, which is coached by Jamaal Shabazz, who also happens to be the Guyana chief.
In three Champions League games thus far, Caledonia has lost twice to the Seattle Sounders (3-1 on both occasions) and played Honduras' Marathon to a scoreless draw.
Moore and David appeared in all three games, while Bobb started and played 57 minutes in the opener in Seattle.
Nurse and Richardson are plying their trades with the Puerto Rico Islanders, who lost their first two games -- both on the road -- to Isidro Metapan (3-1) and the LA Galaxy (4-0).
Richardson, though, has enjoyed particularly successful moments over the years in the Champions League.He has six career goals in the competition and is best known for scoring a hat-trick against the New England Revolution in 2008 as a member of Trinidad's Joe Public.
"For Guyana players it is good exposure, since apart from the qualifiers, the CONCACAF Champions League is highest level of football in the region," said Shabazz."
Along with some of the experienced guys, youngsters such as Colin Edwards, Sheldon Holder and Colin Nelson are also being exposed to the atmosphere of these matches and this can only benefit the country and the individuals' development."
Shabazz, however, is looking beyond today and is attentive to the long-term future of football in Guyana.
"Too much emphasis is placed on competition, we need more emphasis on development," said the Trinidad-born coach."We have got to answer the question where is our next generation going to come from and put things in place to ensure they get the necessary exposure that would equip them to play at the CONCACAF level more often in the future."
Development takes time, patience and resources.The 49-year-old realizes that considerable support is required to reach his objectives.
"Our youth teams have never qualified for CONCACAF level and although our senior team is their now, based on the results versus these higher level teams, we see that a huge gap still exists, between us and the best teams at senior level.
"The challenge is to bridge gap and this can only be done on a collective basis." Guyana and Shabazz will look to continue that project, together, in El Salvador on Friday.
Guyana names roster for Bolivia friendly
Guyana -- Former United States Under-17 international Nick Millington was one of 17 players named to the Guyana roster on Friday by head coach Jamaal Shabazz for its August 15 friendly against host Bolivia.
The game is being used as part of the Golden Jaguars' preparation program ahead of their World Cup qualifiers against El Salvador next month (away Sept 7, home Sept. 11).
The 21-year-old Millington helped the U.S. qualify for the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup and is looking to make his national team debut against the 83rd ranked team in the world.
Also in the squad is Vurlon Mills, who scored both goals in Guyana's 2-1 World Cup Qualifying second-round win over Bermuda on Sept. 6, 2011.
The Golden Jaguars are aiming to snap a four-game losing streak in their first-ever encounter against the South American side.

Just watched Jamaica dominate their game against the US. No setta nervous nervous bad pass and lack of composure (in fact extremely composed), proper team spacing with no big gap between the back line and midfield,and no tons of space in midfield, pressure on the ball, passing out of the back no boom kick, nobody keeping man onside, just a general competent,confident, look like they have a coach and have been playing the game for at least a little while team display. And again,no setta uncomposed bad pass by supposed professionals. The simple shit that we cyar do that everybody else in the world doing.
And with their local boy too.
WTF happen to TnT boy. We in dire straits. Frankly,our teams just don't know how to play the game IN ADDITION to the poor technique.
Congrats yes Whitmore. Go Jamaica.....

Jamaica will always excel trinidad, that's bc they are more united, and their business ppl spend money on sports, and they are far more patriotic (they real love their country) than us.
ask any trini today, or even yesterday, would you die or bleed for your country? and see what they will tell yuh, ah guessing i know what the answer to that question would be............

Guatemala and USA on four points, Interesting group.
Canada having beaten Panama also makes this group interesting.
Mexico and Costa Rica already in the Hex

Completely agree. That is why no team cyah go to Kingston and win dry so. The visiting team has to earn it. Those Jamaicans have too much pride and bad mind to allow that to happen. As I remarked in an earlier post, T&T take note.
Truth be told, Jamaica was unlucky not to beat USA in the last qualifier they played in Kingston. I can'r find the link from the match, but I remember watching the match. Jamaica was leading 1-0 until the 89th minute, when USA scored a bullet to spare American blushes.
-
I know it's been already said, but congratulations to Tappa for outwitting a coach who took Germany to the semifinals in the 2006 World Cup.
-
Ent it was hutchinson that set up the goal for canada? Nice win by jamaica. Even obama was cheering dem on.
-
If Trinidad football was more transparent I'm sure people would put their money. But nobody wants to give away their hard earned money to a delinquent organisation, that can't account for money spent.
-
Congrats to Jamaica indeed!
Wouldn't that be funny & shocking if the US don't make it out of this group. It can very well happen. From the game i watch, Jamaica was by far the better team.. I know it's a monumental task for any Caribbean team to beat the US in the US or beat Mexico in Mexico. I won't be surprise if they beat the US next week and Guatemala beat Antigua at home, the US will be in trouble. There is always a first time.
Quick historical note: The last Caribbean team to beat the US in two consecutive WCQ games home and away was Haiti. After defeated Trinidad 4-0 and 4-2 Home and away in the 1969 WCQ Caribbean final, Haiti went on to beat the US 2-0 at home and 1-0 in San Diego to eliminate the US for the 1970 world cup.
So Jamaica will attempt to do next week what no Caribbean teams have done since Haiti did it 43 years ago
-
yardies played a good, smart game. us mids made some silly fouls and were made to pay. that luton shelton free kick was a beauty to behold. dempsey wasn't fit, and as the commentators were saying, there was no spark for the us offensively. they really missed donovan and bradley.
i hope the yardies make it out. i am backing them all the way. also, quiet as its kept canada is knocking a nice brand and in de rosario they have a man that could work a moment of magic at any given moment.

Golden Jaguars battle to hard-fought 2-2 draw against El Salvador
Written by
Saturday, 08 September 2012 21:30
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - Guyana's Golden Jaguars, clinched their first points in Group B, with a commendable 2-2 draw against El Salvador, when action in the North, Central American and Caribbean Zone, third round 2014 World Cup qualifiers, continued last Friday evening at the Estadio Cuscatlan.
The star of the night for the Jaguars was
19-year-old, Caledonia AIA, left-winger Trayon Bobb who in his first game of these qualifiers, scored a clinical double in the 20th and 54th minutes, while Isidro Gutierrez and Osael Romero scored for the home side in the 4th and 21st minutes respectively.
With Mexico defeating Costa Rica 2-0 in Friday night's simultaneous Group B encounter, Tuesday's home game is now a must-win game for the Jaguars.
According to FIFA, Mexico will already qualify for the next round if they defeat Costa Rica at the Estadio Azteca on Tuesday, while Guyana will be eliminated if they lose at home to El Salvador and Costa Rica topple Mexico.
Thus home support once more at Providence for Tuesday’s encounter will be a key factor in aiding the Jaguars getting a victory in that encounter.
In front of a typical hostile Central American crowd, the locals were decked out in a sea of blue to show support for La Selecta, while inversely intimidating the visiting Golden Jaguars.
On what was a fairly damp outfield which made passing tricky and control of the ball difficult for both sides, the 90 minutes of play descended into a lively counter-attacking affair with both defences looking appreciably vulnerable.
Guyana's defence was the first to be exposed as La Selecta opened the scoring inside the first five minutes of play.
A long cross from midfield was misjudged by Walter ‘Boyd’ Moore at left back which saw Gutierrez proceed to ghost into the box and fire his shot straight through the legs of Guyana’s custodian Richard Reynolds.
The opening 20-minute salvo from that first goal saw the home side in relative control as the Jaguars struggled to grab a foothold in proceedings.
However, totally against the run of play, Guyana struck back thanks solely to the partnership between Bobb and Gregory ‘Jackie Chan’ Richardson, which would go on to torment the hosts for the remainder of the game.
Richardson first took advantage of a fumble in El Salvador’s midfield to break away on the counter-attack and slid a gem of a pass to Bobb, who slammed home a superb long-range left-foot strike from just outside the 18-yard box, past the outstretched glove of El Salvador’s custodian Dagaberto Portillo and into the top of the net.
This sent his team mates and support staff into pandemonium as the Jaguars scored their first official goal of the qualifiers, since the one against Mexico in the first round was recorded as a defence error.
That feeling of ecstasy was immediately short-lived however, as La Selecta made it 2-1 right after kick-off.
Gutierrez was again into the action when he sent a cross down the right flank into the path of Romero, who charged forward from midfield and slotted home in the 21st minute, as the Jaguars’ central defence became lethargic and was punished for seemingly switching off at a crucial transition phase of the game.
The remainder of the first half closed out in frenetic Gung-ho fashion for both teams, with El Salvador slightly more composed in mid-field possession while Guyana continued to aim to catch the hosts on the counter-attack.
As the second half resumed the telepathic Richardson/Bobb combination would once again link to a devastating effect.
Richardson, who had one of his best games for the national team, playing in the trequartista/playmaker position, sent a delightful through ball into Bobb's path and with the defenders flat-footed, Bobb only had the keeper to negotiate and he obliged once more, to bring the Golden Jaguars level with their hosts.
The final 30 minutes saw both teams creating further opportunities to win the game, but each side failed to secure a winner as the game petered out to a draw.
Two of the more notable chances occurred first in the 71st minute when El Salvador’s Jamie Alas hit a long range shot that hit the top of the crossbar.
Two minutes later, Chris Nurse who was on the attack sent a long pass from mid-field into the path of substitute Dwain Jacobs, whose cross across the face of goal was barely smothered away by the keeper, ahead of Ricky Shakes who was coming in on the right side to take a shot.
Speaking after the game a clearly proud Golden Jaguars’ national coach Jamaal Shabazz stated his clear pleasure with the result.
"I am very proud of the team coming out with a point in what were difficult conditions. We played as a strong united force and got some great individual performances from some guys. Richardson and teenager Bobb stood out as a picture of selfless work and a team-comes-first approach."
He continued: "I was overwhelmed when at the end of the game the entire El Salvador stadium who were hostile to us during the encounter, gave us a standing ovation after the game. That touched me deeply and it’s a moment I will cherish in my football life. Our boys bought into the tactics and we got a good result, tomorrow is another day"

Breds, ppl cheer for guyana bc they are a caribbean team (#1) and they never beat us before nov 11th 2011(#2), so there's no ill feeling of animosity towards them, @ least not yet.
the reason however for hating on the US is not bc they beat us this one WCQ match, but rather, bc they have been able to dominate us ever since, and the feelings of disgust intensified bc the USA played very basic football after not really playing the sport for decades and being serious about it,
and it not being their (#1) sport and to add to that, their ppl never truly embracing or showed genuine interest in the sport, but despite all that still manage to dominate not only us, but all the teams in the rest of the confederation save mexico, all added to the disgust.
another reason for hating the USMNT is the fact that their sport commentators are very bias and condescending especially towards caribbean teams! as ah matter of fact, the only team in the confederation that they truly rate is mexico, and that is done grudgingly.
players like donovan, who accidentally broke one of our players spine, who later died of his injuries, of which donovan never publicly apologized or even showed remorse, and clint dempsey who is very arrogant and disrespectful to our players and football together with snide comment from aleki lallass, john harks and that jerk off eric wonalda, was the icing on the cake and that kinda sealed the deal.
so yeh, apart from the dominance of the region from ah country where football/ soccer is not king of the hill, together with rude arrogant players and commentators to match, we can't help but despise them.
hek, even countries like germany and brazil hates american soccer for their bland approach to the sport, and they are not even in their confederation, so could you imagine us who have history with them.
-
People dislike the USA and JA because of their Arrogance, period. Confidence and national pride is one thing and admirable traits. But arrogance and a spirit of condesending is absolutely unacceptable. Sometimes yuh want to support them because yuh live here or because JA is a fellow Caribbean team. But their attitudes STINK.
-
Just cool yuh talking Shit about Donovan dey. How you go say de man was unremorseful? That is a lie.

1.) More was at stake on that day. We'd never been to a World Cup before and now it was close enough to taste. Losing out to Guyana in the earliest of stages stings, but not nearly as much. That day really hurt. I was crying simp ass lil 14 year old. Some people choose not to move on.
2.) Sour grapes. US wasn't really rated very highly back then, but have gone on since then to become dominant in the region. And as much as people want to talk about arrogance yada yada, it's mostly sour grapes. We speak just as poorly and 'arrogantly' about the St. Lucias and Guyanas that we play. 'We should be hitting Antigua six!'
We don't hear ourselves, though.
Yeah, American 'arrogance' is kind of annoying but it only makes people mad because we can't get the measure of them on the field to shut them up.

Breds, when marvin lee got injured, to the time of this article the man never apologized, four fackin yrs later after the man ded he play he talking bout "he hate to think bout it,and feeling remorseful" what about when he fackin cripple the man, did he say any fackin thing then??!
-
As for this article , i wasn't even aware of it TBH, after all this is four yrs later, yuh think it had ah forum like this to go on and get info about what's happening in the world of football? in any case i was talking about an immediate apology, when the incident happened uptil the time the boy was in ah fackin wheelchair, not four yrs later after the fella dies.
that coddersmont never apologized initially to the boy neither his family, as ah matter of fact, he was involved and in the mix with noriega and jan williams when noriega suffered ah serious concussion. fack donovan, he too fackin wild, and his wildness cuased ah man his life. and yeh , i real rate donovan, big player dat, but he wild no arse.

Great game....Canada played some nice ball...had some lapses though and were it not for some poor Panamanian finishing, could have been a different story. Very intelligent play by Hutchinson to take a quick freekick for De Ro to finish the goal. Hart has Canada playing a nice controlled game. Less reliance on long balls, but when they are used, definitely sent forward with purpose for the most part.

We support Guyana, because We have a strong English Caribbean identity. We have differences, yes, but much more in common. Plus their star players play in or use to play in TT. One of the thing that irks Caribbean people(especialy, TT, JA and Haiti), is the fact that the US brought a whole lot of Carib footballers when they wanted to build their pro-league in 1967. When the NASL became establish with Pele and over-the-hill Euro contingent, they blank the Carib players. When they mention players in the Hall of Fame or who made contribution to US soccer, they barely acknowledge Carib players.

USA eke out a 1-nil over Jamaica. This USA team in for some more licks. Jamaica not bad though. First 20 mins of the game was all USA,off the post, off the bar, bout 4 times. Then the game kinda settle down with Jamaica with they usual wildman style kicking down man on ah regular. Very different from the first game. USA wasn't really saying anything. Then early in the second USA score on a freekick and then again it was Jamaica the rest of the way. Don't know if it was because of Jamaica, but USA is surprisingly...not as good. And Jamaica is surprisingly good.

Yeah but the first 20 was total domination USA had all the adrenaline. After all that off the post shots they eh really had a good chance, but they stillsaw moreof the ball though.

I know there are a lot of Shabazz haters but Guyana deserve credit for their last two performances against El Salvador. A good draw in El Cuscatlan and they lost tonight 3-2 but it very easily could've gone the other way.
worm nobody nuh hate shabazz but elsalvador is no football team bredda.. I feal sey tobago united could beat them.... elsalvador simply suck as a football country right now.. Trinidad and elsalvalvador football is in the same stage at this moment... Cuba hold its end against Honduras and panama beat up on canada.. I guh like to see canada go through but they too shitty.. its honduras panama into the nx rounds here..

War, I disagree with you about EL. They team may be weak, but they and their fans have passion for the game for days. The clubs does pull in thousands. Can we say that about TT. They went Georgetown and pull out a win. A win away from home in the WC is priceless. Ask Lawrence how if felt in Bahrain a couple moons ago.

Venezuela had a big win against Paraguay. South America qualifiers is something else, sheer pace and counter attack football. Although I am backing Canada as the coach is a TRINI, I think Panama and Honduras will make it out of this group. Guatemala may just spoil it for Jamaica in their group.
-
First time in my life I ever wanted Jamaica to win was yesterday vs USA.
But that happens to be one of the worst game I ever saw by Jamaica.
They looked like T&T. They couldn't even get 3 passes together and had two shots on goal all game.
USA should have scored 4 and still they looked ordinary, USA is very beatable at the moment, they are shaky.
Old men, Palmer Nosworthy still playing ?
Ryan Johnson, Dane Richards and Omar Cummings was a let down.
Where was Fuller ? he would have done better..

Guatemala could be the problem for JA. JA must go into Guatemala and win .. a draw will most likely decide the group by goal difference.. anyway or the other JA have the better edge becausethey still have to play A&B in Kingston. this game could end up like 5-0 because JA will come out wid intentions of scoring goals.. I still believe this group is JA USA, while Guatemala have to come to the USA and still have to tackle JA in Guatemala where JA have beaten dem before , so Guatemala is beatble at home..

Sando - I share your sentiments and to add insult to injury. the commentators were saying Caribbean teams
do not travel well. Jamaica really looked like Trinidad lately, I think the Coach has to take some blame for after parking the bus and seeing the ball hit the post on three occasions, Yuh know it aint working.
Having pressured the ball in the first game and using the pace of your forwards to unsettle USA - Why not go with that strategy. Jamaica showed USA too much respect. now they are in danger of not getting the second spot. USA have Antigua and Guatemala at home . JA beating Guatemala at home is not an easy task.
It may well go down to Goal difference.

I dont think anyone here expected the USA to lose back to back games to Jamaica or any other team in CONCACAF for that matter. Yes, something stinks about Jamaica's approach to the game, but i think you have to give the USA the respect they deserve playing at home.
Now, in terms of games remaining and which two teams are likely to go through, at this point I like Jamaica's chanches of getting through with the USA. Guatemala will almost certainly lose against the USA in the USA, while Ill bet money that Jamaica will route Antigua in Kingston on the final match day if they need a victory to advance. Jamaica travels to Guatemala before that in waht will no doubt be a tough game, but even if Guatemala wins that game, I still think Jamaica will route Antigaue in the office to advance ahead of Guatemala.
-
The mistakes Jamaica made in that game is that they played for a tie not to win. They dropped 11 men behind the ball most of the game. In the process , they showed too much respect for the US. It's a good strategy to drop 11 men behind the ball when you are the inferior team and trying to minimize the damage. It was evident that Jamaica was the better team from the first game. JA had to play like they were the better team rather than dropping 11 men behind the ball. If they had to play to win rather than playing to tie , they would have won

Hate to disagree with you for the first time RF. But the game plan was working until our goalkeeper gifted US the goal in the second half. Then the Reggae Boyz showed that this US team is not all that.
Jamaica will still advance to the HEX with 13 points with 6 points from our last two games.

All who claimed that JA played sh!t "like T&T" must be out for lunch.
every body who comes to the U.S. in qualifying don't ever beat the USA, mexico was "probably" the only team in recent yrs who have achieved that, apart from mexico, no one else. IMO i think tappa went for ah draw, but after JA conceded he changed tactics and opted for a more attacking formation.
as for JA playing like T&T, i don't know bout allyuh, but i find JA held their own better than any caribbean team to date. the last time T&T played against the USA and looked like they stood ah chance was in new haven when beenhakker was coach where they beat us 1 nil on that spirit goal i think it was by mc bride, but from wim time on the US made us look like we are a ranked shit team, especially when maturana was in charge.
i look forward to the day when the strong teams in the caribbean could come to the USA in qualifying and grind out wins, bc i real despise them and will always rute against them only if they are playing spain, argentina, uraguay or mexico.
as for JA, they will qualify, no doubt about it. IMO the US and guatemala are the ones who have to fight for their places. i believe ATB could shock america in antigua, and guatemala could pull off a draw.
there's no way guatemala beating JA, the most they will get from that game is ah draw, and ATB eh getting no points in the office.

You can't really say no team other than Mexico did it, I know it's a long time ago but Haiti did it in 1969 to eliminate the US for the 1970 world cup , 2-0 in Haiti and 1-0 in San Diego.

Bredder, i not talking about in times of old, i talking bout when the U.S. really started taking football seriously and contending for WC spots.
back then the U.S. was not a footballing nation, but since the they host the WC in 94 they never looked back, and for sure, now you could consider them ah strong footballing nation despite the fact that football/soccer is not their #1 sport.
since then only mexico went into their territory and took all the points. right now, in this CFU region, no one is taking football as serious as they should, jamaica trying something but they still way behind.
as for trinidad and tobago, they can't keep using the same flawed methods and expect good results (success), this is madness! the country have the money and the infrastructure to excel as ah great footballing nation in CFU, so why is it not happening?
why are these head strong, petty, greedy monkeys disguised as football administrators who is seriously hold back progress still allowed to govern football?.
fellas like romany, skeene, watson and the old boy fraternity needs to walk away from football and leave it too the ppl who truly have ideas and is in the know as too how the modern game is implemented and governed, so that the rest of the region could follow.
then and only then would CFU nations be able to enter the U.S. and mexican shores and take full points,
until then it's nuff licks for we from all the giants of concacaf.

Of course it is a tough task for any Concacaf team to win in the US and even tougher for a Caribbean team to win in the US but I don't think it is impossible right now. In fact, the gold cup before the last one, Haiti Outplayed the US and had a 2-1 lead on the US going into regulation time. They scored in the 92th minute to tie the game. They were so happy to tie Haiti it's like they just won the world series.
You might ask yourself, how can that be a poor country like Haiti and in fact the poorest country in the Caribbean with under population under 10 million can compete with the US the richest country in region with a population over 300 million. Haiti shouldn't be compared in the same scale with the US when it comes to soccer but the only Caribbean team with a wining overall record against the US is Haiti.
See it how it happened http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRN83WPBnjQ
I think, the US has a larger menu to choose from all those NCAA college players and not to mention more money than anyone else in the region. They can certainly more money in their soccer and Therefore they have better training facilities and can higher better coaches. That's why they will always be on top in the region but i think they can be beating by a Caribbean team at home

Breds, even ah broken clock is correct twice a day, but the real question should be, why during qualifying for the WC no team except mexico comes here and takes full points (which BTW doesn't happen very often) ?
america only care about the gold cup when there's qualification for the confederation's cup, but world cup qualifying is way more important to the yanks than the gold cup trust meh! there were many gold cups where the yanks used their B players, but come WC, if they did not yet qualified, the come with ah full roster, and use every weapon available to them, from climate to altitude.
trust me bro, those yanks don't rate us, and they will never give us the satisfaction to dominate them, which for the most part, is our fackin fault, bc our ppl are sell outs! they could be easily bought, even @ the price of ah maga dry bone!

USA should have scored 4 and still they looked ordinary, USA is very beatable at the moment, they are shaky.
It's true that we have looked shaky lately, but that's all down to Klinsmann continuing with the same clueless midfield choices.
Once he pulls his head out of his ass and stops repeating them -- which should hopefully happen soon since he saw how good Williams looked in his natural role in the center -- then the team will look solid.
Bradley and Donovan returning are going to give us a boost as well. And we've got a couple of young wide players in the pipeline who could soon end up tearing things up in this region.

Jamaica's first half tactics were questionable...coming from a fairly inexperienced coach in his forst WCQ campaign, I will reserve final judgement fro now. If you saw the fisrt game in Kingston where Jamaica's approach was totally different, you will see that the USA is not as invincible as they appear. In fact, they have been having a sub-par tournament to date. Will they get better, I'm sure they will.
As for Jamaica...what they do in their next game against Guatemala in Guatemala City will answer alot of questions.

Jamaica have to make sure they dont get beat from Guatemala.
It will be a hard game in Guatemala.
Ruiz and them is desperate battling since 2006 days versus TnT. This is their last chance.
If JA go into the last game 3 point s behind needing the USA to win they in real trouble. because if US also 3 Pts ahead they will not chase the game because a draw will take both Guatemala and USA through.
Not saying they will fix the game,
But if USA do not go out to win and Guatemala park the bus game could easily draw.
Beat Guatemala on the road and they in.
Tie and look to finish the story at the office and hope for help....

Except Jamaica does not have to beat Guatemala. As you said it is Guatemala who will have to beat Jamaica since a draw would be good enough for Jamaica who will play Antigua & Barbuda in The Office for their last game. Guatemala, however, will play the US in Kansas City. No way the US will allow Guatemala to beat them at home. And if Guatemala manages a draw with the US it will not be enough because 8 points (if Jamaica beats them) or 9 points (a draw with Jamaica) will not be enough.
With that scenarios a win in Guatemala and draw against A&G (if Guatemala beats the US) for the Reggae Boyz would qualify Jamaica for the HEX.
Here are the possible scenarios for teams to advance to the HEX:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_–_CONCACAF_Third_Round
-
Here is my scenario. The US won't lose another game. I am going to give the US a win in antigua and a win VS Guatemala at home. I think and they have turn the corner and they will be firing on all cylinders because they will have all their important players back. I am predicting they will finish with 13 points. Im going to give JA a win at home against Antigua and a tie in Guatemala.
Here my final standings:
USA 13 points
Jamaica 11 points
Guatemala 8 points
Antigua 1 point
Alternate Scenario, if Jamaica lost to Guatemala and the US beats Guatemala and Jamaica win at home against Antigua
USA 13 points
Jamaica 10 points ( Will be ahead on Goal differences)
Guatemala 10 Points
Antigua 1 point
(Jamaica will advance on goal differences, because if guatemala's going to win against JA, they won't win by more than 1 goal)
One of the two scenarios will occur. Lest see if my prediction holds.
I think what Jamaica needs to do right now is to ignore all the scnarios and basically going all out pressure Antigua at home and beat them by 2 or 3 goals and they're in the HEX.. Just destroy Antigua at home and they're in.
-
So Guyana have decided to play their home qualifier against Mexico in a "neutral site"...Arizona. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Especially shocking as if they had won they still would have had a small chance of qualifying...I can only imagine one reason for this.
Mexico +6 12
El Salvador 0 5
Costa Rica +1 4
Guyana −7 1

I hope the Guyanese FA negotiate some pesos for themselves...

I hope the Guyanese FA negotiate some pesos for themselves...
That's the whole point, they are technically the home team so they will get the home team's cut of the gate, which is likely to be a sellout considering all of the Mexicans down there. Mexico may have even let them take more of the cut than usual rather than going and playing on the cricket pitch at Providence.

When yuh see sh!t like this yuh really have to fackin hate this rag tag shed that they callin ah federation yes!
imagine guyana who eh get ah single point in this tournament went to the semis over us. i doh care what no body say, if we had the right preparation and the right coach we woulda qualify for the hex. right now this iz the weakest costa rica i've ever seen, and they will take plenty licks in the hex , i guarantee it!
we coulda make this hex if they had fired latas right after the degicel cup , and hire a coach right there and then, and started over and played @ least 10 good friendlies in preparation for the qualifiers in 2011 in stead of jerking off and waiting for the last minute to begin preparing.
i have to say, i like this president over camps, which he had the same support camps had. yeh he may not be the ideal choice, but yuh have to respect ah man who tell jack tuh fack off! @ least he didn't sit tight taking orders from ah backward clueless gimp like jack, and made his own way forward.
i hope mr hartford and C.O. gets the help that they need from the business community. i could only sit and hope it is not "too little too late". fingers crossed.

Are you referring to the same team that got beaten by a less then full strength Jamaica in Kingston? The same team that can't even win the Gold Cup? The same team that is currently tied with Jamaica and Guatemala in World Cup Qualifying? The same team that can barely make it out of a Group when they do make the World Cup...and then do nothing after that? The same team whose future players couldn't even qualify for the Olympics? You must be planning on living a very long time ;D

Worm, ah hate very much to agree with warmongrel, but that is not the right way to gauge this and you know it. despite all the hate and the BS the USA could pull off a WC easy. it may take some time , but they are a team constantly improving.
now you talk about how they lose to jamaica and other teams who they may have trouble beating or dominating, remember spain just had a hard time domination puerto fackin rico, ah team that is in the dust of concacaf,
venezeula also had them up against the ropes some time this yr and costarica also gave spain a run for their lives last yr in a friendly, yet they are the "world" champs in every which way, so IMO this is not a good gauge.
mind you, it's hard to say who will win a WC and who will flop, but i tell you this, i believe that mexico and the USA have a better shot @ the world cup title than england and portugal.

now you talk about how they lose to jamaica and other teams who they may have trouble beating or dominating, remember spain just had a hard time domination puerto fackin rico, ah team that is in the dust of concacaf,
venezeula also had them up against the ropes some time this yr and costarica also gave spain a run for their lives last yr in a friendly, yet they are the "world" champs in every which way, so IMO this is not a good gauge.
This is exactly why it is a good gauge. The gap between the small teams and bigger teams is closing...and the US isn't even a big team once you leave CONCACAF. For example, in UEFA, Faroe Islands, Malta, San Marino, etc. are no longer a guaranteed 10-0 victory. Granted they are almost always beaten, but the margins have slimmed a lot. Look at a team like Cyprus who were whipping boys in UEFA until 10 years ago and now have are at least respectable. Aruba is comprable in CONCACAF as they were botton of the world 5 years ago. They haven't gotten similar results to Cyprus but they're certainly not worst in the world anymore. US and Mexico basically waltzed in to the World Cup the last few times, that won't be the case this time and it will be even less the case in years to come. 10 years ago Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda definitely could not have held their own with Central or North American competition. So even if the US is closing the gap between the big teams and themself, there are also 25-30 other teams in the world at the same level doing the same thing, probably developing even faster...and they aren't a bunch of ****s.
yes am talking bout that same team.. the same team who has reached the world cup every single time since beating TNT in TNTt and has never turn back while Trinidad has gone back 400 years n football.. we cya beat Guyana ..

I don't know why you are using T&T as a measuring stick, much as I like the team I have no preference for them over any other Caribbean team. The women's football is not even a remotely fair comparison. Basically no where else in the world is forced to put the same money in to sports for both genders as the US is via Title 9. Hell a sizable portion of the world barely would even let women play sports, nevermind develop women's sports.

8 MLS players dominate Jamaica’s WCQ roster
Posted on October 8, 2012
Jamaica has called up eight Major League Soccer players for the final phase of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying.
Coach Theodore Whitmore selected defenders Jeramine Taylor (Houston Dynamo), Shavar Thomas (Montreal Impact), Dicoy Williams (Toronto FC) and Lovel Palmer (Portland Timbers), midfielder Je-Vaughn Watson (Houston Dynamo) and forwards Dane Richards (Vancouver Whitecaps), Omar Cummings (Colorado Rapids) and Ryan Johnson (Toronto FC).
Richards was listed as a forward instead of a midfielder by the Jamaican Football Federation.
Jamaica faces a pair of vital Group A matches, playing at Guatemala on Friday before hosting Antigua & Barbuda on Tuesday, Oct. 16.
The United States and Guatemala lead the group with 2-1-1 record and seven points. The Reggae Boyz have the same record, but are in third place due to goal differential. The top two teams will qualify for next year’s hexagonal round.
Harbour View midfielder Jermaine Hue was rewarded for his fine start to the Red Stripe Premier League season as he was recalled to the team.
Hue, 34, who last represented Jamaica in a friendly international against Cuba in February, has been included in a team of 24 that travel to Guatemala on Monday. Highly regarded by some and viewed as the creative midfielder that the coaching staff has said is missing from national side, Hue, has been in fine form for his club in a more advanced role and has scored four goals.
Also making a return to the Reggae Boyz was the attacking lef -wingback Demar Phillips. Phillips, who scored the opening goal in Jamaica’s 2-1 win over Guatemala in June, last represented the country in Jamaica’s scoreless away with Antigua in WCQ in in June. He missed both of the country’s qualifiers against the U.S. in September due to an injury.
St George’s College schoolboy midfielder Andre Lewis, an 18-year-old who was a part of Jamaica’s Under-17 team that qualified for the U-17 World in Mexico in 2011 and was one of two Jamaicans to score, also was selected. He is regarded as one of the best young talents in the country. Lewis is the captain of his school’s Manning Cup team and was a part of the school’s triple championship winning team of 2011. He is a member of the country’s Under-20 team.
The Jamaica roster:
Goalkeepers – Dwayne Miller, DuWayne Kerr, Jacomeno Barrett
Defenders – Jermaine Taylor, Shavar Thomas, Dicoy Williams, Nyron Nosworthy, Adrian Marriappa, Demar Phillips, Lovel Palmer, Andrae Campbell
Midfielders – Rodolph Austin, Jason Morrison, Je-Vaughn Watson, Ewan Grandison, Joel Senior, Andre Lewis, Jermaine Hue
Forwards – Dane Richards, Omar Cummings, Ryan Johnson, Tramaine Stewart, Luton Shelton, Kavin Bryan
-
The funny thing is Jamaica's side could be so much stronger...I hope they don't come to regret it. Looks like Antigua will be without three key midfield players as well.

Guyana arrived in Houston for its World Cup qualifying match against Mexico sans team manager Jamaal Shabazz, who missed the flight for "personal reasons," according to his assistant.
Wayne Dover admitted that while he could take the lion's share of duties away from Shabazz for the match, they will use an alternate strategy in order to allow Shabazz control at the BBVA Compass Stadium: Skype.
"There are technology systems [Skype] that will allow him to communicate with the group," stated Dover. "The players here know the style of play, and I'm sure they'll give a great exhibition," he continued.
Guyana is currently in last place of the group the nation shares with El Salvador, Costa Rica and Mexico. El Tri has already qualified for the final hexagonal round.
"They're a superior team, they're at all the World Cups," said Dover about his next opponent, adding that the experience will ultimately benefit the South American team.
The first match between Mexico and Guyana ended with Jose Manuel de la Torre's boys notching a 3-1 win at the Estadio Azteca.

Well sure enough I'm watching the match and its Wayne "Wiggy" Dover managing the team. I seriously have to wonder if Shabazz is on the "do not allow in the country" list.

Well taken penalty by Shelton. Especially considering the fact that the Guatemalan keeper tried to put him off with his antics in the goal. He makes up for that miss in the first half.
1-1.

Steups. Guatemala scored to make it 2 - 1 in the 85th min.

Jamaica may have taken more corners, but Guatemala makes one count.
2-1 Guatemala. Jamaica was way too casual.

I wouldnt be surprised if the U.S and GUA play for a tie. But ANT national team gets to play together often, plus they are playing against decent competition in the USL. They can make it difficult for JA though.

Listen guy, it takes ah big man to admit guilt, i will never stay here and say that the US is ah sh!t team, on the contrary, i will always give props to them for their approach to the game and the level of heart and endurance they have is outstanding, as a matter of fact, they are the best team in concacaf as far as work ethic go, and yes, the USMNT is ah BIG BIG team,
but i can't help but hate them for their unmitigated gall to think that they could just condescend on the rest of cancacaf, and think that they can run neck and neck with the rest of the world super powers of football! yes donovan is real good, and so is dempsey, and you also had some fantastic players over the yrs, fellas like reyna, mc bride, koby jones, KC keller, johnathan specter and harks just to name ah few.
these players as with most US players are technically strong and could hold their own, but with all that, the only reason yuhs guys are better than lets say, a jamaica or a panama is bc these countries don't have infrastructure like mexico to develop their game, but give it time, i predict in the very near future the US would be catching hell to qualify just like argentina does in comebol.
did you see how they catch hell to beat antigua barbuda? expect more of the same in the future. enjoy the ride for now.

One more thing, without dempsey and donovan , your team sucks! GOD help you when those guys stop playing.

What gives you the idea that other countries are catching up to the u.s.a? The only country I can see (outside of the minnows) that has gotten a lot better is Panama. The U.S.A has played a few bad games, so what? It happens. Every other team except Panama and Mexico aren't improving. The MLS clubs are now only starting to turn out decent graduates. Who isn't to say their team won't get better in the future?

Jamaica iz in trouble it seems, still could qualify, but they have to beat antigua by 3 clear goals, and hope the US beat antigua,
or they could hope that the US do them a favor and put ah proper cut arse on guatemala by @ least three clear goals, in which case jamaica would just need a win to advance.
good luck to them.

The U.S will probably prefer playing GUA in the hex instead of JAM. I wouldnt be surprised if US and GUA play a very conservative match. I predict a 0-0 score.

That will be sensible football by USA. Playing Jamaica in Kingston for any team besides panama is trouble.... No team plays better than Jamaica and mexico at home in concacaf .Remember if USA loose to Guatemala and Jamaica beats A&B by 4 goals they will qualify over USA... usa have scored one in Jamaica and jamaica has scored none in U.S Soil. Guatemala and Jamaica both had scored away from home against each other....here is the group standings..

::) Everyone also said it was an easy group for the US but Jamaica's Reggae Boyz took 3 points from them and at least give themselves an advantage to qualify for the HEX in Jamaica's last game at home in The Office against Antigua & Barbuda. And with the less than impressive display by the US not easily dominating the group as predicted by many. The onus will be on them to beat Guatemala in front of a sold out Sam's Army home support since they can also be eliminated. The US likes to win at everything because they believe they are the best at everything and they will want to prove it against Guatemala.
The Reggae Boyz will go all out against A&B the second the whistle blows tomorrow. I won't guess how many goals the Reggae Boyz will score, but at the end of 90-plus minutes Jamaica's Reggae Boyz will qualify for the HEX at the expense of the US or Guatemala. It's likely to be Guatemala. ;D

first up good day to all , now to the bizness of the day, geez what anticipation , i foresee some real tears and heart break in concacaf after today's games, wishing the reggae boyz and canada , canada with stephen hart at the helm, i have to admit he have meh support being a fellow trini,....... it won't be easy in honduras though , as for the group involving the u.s , jamaica & guatemala , its a real dogfight , i will not like to be in the reggae boyz position they only have themselves to blame for the predicament they're at the moment, however its still within their grasp to get through , worst case scenario is should the u.s /guatemala ends in draw , although i don't anticipate either team will wanna take any unnecessary risk, knowing full well whats at stake. i do beleive both teams going for the win , in which case i think it favors the u.s , oh chit this is real pressure ...... ah can't wait let the games begin goodluck to the reggae boyz

Nervous! Why should I be nervous!!!!! The Reggae Boyz are in the best position as they should ever be in. Success through adversity will see the Reggae Boyz score more than the necessary goals needed and advance to the HEX.
With the lackluster performance of their team in the qualifiers Klinnsman will want nothing more than a win. So will the US players whom are seeking selection spots on the team.

Both matches start at the same time. It's your choice to give up hope which places you IMO on the bandwagon. The Reggae Boyz have one last match to play. Why do you think your overall factual picture of doom is accurate before a ball is kicked?

The simpleton answer is because there is still a mathematical chance of Jamaica advancing to the HEX.

4 years ago Jamaica was in a similar position...last game at home they needed 4 goals against Canada, and hope for Mexico to beat Honduras in Honduras. Well, as fate would have it, Jamaica won 3-0, which in the end didnt matter, as Honduras won the game. to edge Jamaica out. Hoping for something more positive tonight.
Antigua is a decent team...but I'd fancy our chnaces against them more than USA or Guatemala. this game will produce three goals, the question is, will Jamaica keep a clean sheet.
How the tides have turned in CONCACAF. Imagine a country as dominant as the USA contemplating parking the bus to avoid defeat against of all teams Guatemala...at home to boot.
At the end of the day, Whitmore screwed himself..and jamaica in the process. omiting key players, arguably Jamaica's most prolific goal-scorer King was banished for "breaking curfew", an experienced Ricardo fuller cant make the bench, while we have guys playing in Jamaica's domestic league making the squad.

Canada are poor travelers...they never seem t be able to do well in Central America. That said, Honduras attacked from the first whistle...anything else would eliminate them. I hope Jamaica can do something like this...but I will say that Honduras at home is stronger than Jamaica at home.

hope dem fellas eh cause SH to lose he wuk. Can't believe how bad they were outplayed. Couple key players were missing, but not to the extent of this licks.

I believe Canada will clean house and go for a foreign coach who will rebuild. Hart will probably go. If we house was in order, he would have been good for us.

Jamaica obviously have a lot of work to do, our preparation for the Hex starts next month with a game in Kingston vs Paraguay...but, I also believe we must now say goodbye to Whitmore in his role as head coach. I don't think he is a bad guy at all, but I think he perhaps has reached his peak, and maybe, just maybe, we need a more experienced man to help us navigate the better teams that we will find in the HEXAGON. Add to that is the list of players in the UK who are eligible to play for Jamaica, and for some reason being given the cold shoulder. Nyron Nosworthy, arguably Jamaica's best defender these rounds have for about 5 years been ignored by the JFF until they finally called him in out of desperation. We have to call our BEST players available, or watch our team finish LAST in the hex if we are not careful. Yes, it would be nice to have a Jamaican coach and 100% domestic league players, sadly, Jamaica doesn't have the talent locally to compete with the top teams in CONCACAF. There are no easy teams in the HEX, everyone will have to lift their game.

Honest post Reggae-fan- Let not your heart be troubled Capt Burrell has always said that the Caribbean teams need a foreign coach to take them to the world Cup.If Jamaica can win at home will make it to the W/ Cup. Panama can be the spoilers.

There will be no easy games in the Hex for anybody.
On paper Costa Rica is probably the easiest team to get points from.
They have not been playing well there group was the weakest.
Panama has been playing well since the Gold Cup last year... They will be up there.
Honduras has the experience and they will be fighting to build on the last world cup appearence so they will be up there.
Mex is not that strong, again they were in an easy group....They are transitioning to the U23 players that won the olympics , but the question is can they make that jump and compete at the senior level without some stumbles.
Azteca is a bonus but US, Honduras and even Costa rica has the experience to take points there
Jamaica will be up there, Teams have trouble with the office and the JA mindset is good enough to get it done...
Not to mention a mass bandwaggon of new UK based to join and old favorites like ricardo fuller to come out of retirement.
US has shown some weaknesses they are not a lock....
entire squad europe based is killing them.Strength of the US used to be togetherness and more meaning full games together than most. Now they are cluged together from here there and everywere. They are weaker than they were in the past....
Look for some shocks
Anybody can be in and anybody can get beat out.
This Hex going down to the wire.
It will come down to management and form.........

Jamaica will need to improve if they want to qualify, but the talent is definitely there. Honestly, aside from maybe Mexico, I'd say its a crap shoot for who else makes it.
-
Mexico is the class of the Hex and will easily qualify
The rest is a crap shoot. 5 teams of fairly similar calibre where winning at home is essential to qualifying hopes.
Only Mexico will get past the 1st round of the WC anyway so the others playing to just be there.
That said....being there certainly beats not being there at all.

So our local coach Tappa should be fired to be replace by another foreign coach. Where did all those experience foreign coaches take the Reggae Boyz where Tappa has not?
RF, It sickens me when we chose to get rid of our local coaches who are doing a much better job with limited resources and less pay than these so-call "experience" foreign coaches whom seem to think they are here on vacation. Remember Bora :cursing:
And it's even worse when most of these opinions are from Jamaicans who live overseas hence the "foreign mentality."
Tappa is doing the job he was contracted to do. Jamaica's Reggae Boyz have qualify for the HEX. Next up is the Digicel Cup to qualify Jamaica for the 2013 Gold Cup.
The team is playing for Jamaica and Tappa. Allow our local "inexperience" coach to finish the job he was given with our full support.

He almost finished the job tonight...by getting us kicked out of the Hex. The very player that he ignored consistently for the past 5 years is the player that came back in and saved him and Jamaica's campaign. Tappa might very well get the job done, and results so far suggests he has potential to develop into a decent coach...but he is not yet at the top of his game coaching-wise...Don't get me wrong bredda, I ant the man to succeed, I really do...but you can see that there are chinks in the armour, that will potentially be exploited when we get to the HEXAGON. Player selection and tactics have to be optimal to secure a top 3, or top 4 finish. But we might be flogging a dead horse here though...Tappa might be the defacto coach by virtue of the fact that the JFF might not be able to dish ut US$50K per month for a foreign coach at this stage...but if it means a place in Brazil..at a cost of US$1M in coaching salaries for the next 12 months, then that mney can be easily raised from private sector funding. Currently Tappa and his entire coacjing staff probably sets the JFF back less than US$50K per month.
In regards to Bora...Bora's appointment was actually a good move by the Boxhill Administration, and I believe that Bora would have gotten good results with the team. The problem was that the Boxhill administration was senile...the fact that Bora came here and end up being on vacation most of the time is not Boras fault...its the adminsitrators who dropped the ball on that one.

Canada’s loss to Honduras costs coach Stephen Hart his job
Canadian Press | Oct 18, 2012 4:22 PM ET
More from Canadian Press
TORONTO — Canada men’s soccer coach Stephen Hart resigned on Thursday after the team’s humiliating World Cup qualifer loss to Honduras.
Canadian Soccer Association president Victor Montagliani announced Thursday that Hart had stepped down.
Canada needed just a tie or win Tuesday to advance to the final round of World Cup qualifying in the CONCACAF region.
Instead, Hart’s team was drubbed 8-1 Tuesday in the worst defeat by a Canadian men’s team since an 8-0 shellacking in Mexico in 1993.
Hart said after the game he thought he had done his best. But he understood that Canadian fans would not be able to forgive him.
The 52-year-old Hart worked his way through the CSA coaching ranks and had several stints as interim coach of the men’s team before getting the job for good in December 2009.
-
Sorry, Sh. That's the way the dice rolls sometimes. The coach has to walk the plank when you lose. Good luck in the future. Maybe is time to come home. Both of our luck may come thru.

Dem players deserve no pay for that game, they fold like old lady neck vs Honduras. Forrest is ah idot but he got it right. Every player should give hart an apology.

The sensible football by USA will have been to play for a draw because JA is harder to play in kingston than playing guatemala in Guatemala city... Guatemala push USA to the limit by scoring that first goal . Jamaica very very well lucky to reach the hex after shitting down themselves against Guatemal and Antigua in the previous games..

the team that lost to guyana would have ran rings over that canada team in florida. my breddren went to the game and said that it could have went any which way, canada just got lucky. he said that the black guy on the right wing was the best player they had, but all the rest were quite ordinary.

dats true the same team dat Guyana kicked out of the world cup qualifiers.... I love di warriors but we all know facts is facts and fiction is fiction.. warriors team suck at this time.
The warriors administration sucks! if these players were part of an organized football body that took care of their needs and had ah proper training program for coaches and held them to ah higher standard then we would fare well.
the fact that they don't want to invest in football, and never did, is the reason for all the poor results over the yrs.
these ppl in trinidad don't give ah hoots about the arts and sports, as ah matter of fact they treat sports like plants, they put it in the ground and leave the rest to nature.
-
I expect
1. Mexico
2. Costa Rica
3. USA
3.5 South America team.
Jamaica and Panama is not good enough to win or even draw anyaway games, especially Jamaica.
Honduras could also slip in 3rd place but we will have to see how their game goes, USA is not playing well but they always win their home games and that counts.
Jamaica rely on to many foreign born players, some is fine, but to many and half of them are not better than the locally/US based players.
They have to settle a team and prepare well.

Who are the "foreign born" players Jamaica relied on to get to the Hex Brother? I believe you haven't been in touch with Jamaica's football. The irony of your statement though is that arguably Jamaica's best player in the Semi round was Nyron Nosworthy of Watford, born in England to Jamaica parents...but has strong ties to his Jamaican roots...in fact he was the only player born outside of Jamaica to start the last game. But if you look at the number of Premirship players in recent past with Jamaican connections...you would agree that any nation with that talent at its disposal would be unwise not to make use of it. Watch Reading play Liverpool this weekend...at least three players on the Reading side have VERY strong possibility of representing Jamaica in the HEX...in fact, Mariappa is in the Jamaica squad, while captain Jobi McAnuff has already played for Jamaica. Garath McLeary has an interest to play for the boyz as well. If you watch Jmaica games, you will also see that there are some players in the starting 11 who are not ready for the game at this level...and you have some guys on the bench too who not pulling their weight...there is definitely room for significant improvemenbt in literally all positions. The local based players have talent...but talent gets you so far and no further.
Jamaica has a lot of improvement to do before the HEX...I think everyone agree on that...I wouldn't say JA cant win away..
-
I saw The Trinidad vs Canada game in Florida. I said before that Canada was not making it to the hex based on the performance against T&T. Corncurls was terrorizing them down the wing and had T&T not bun with the pickup side on show , we easily could have won this game. Sad for Hart, it looks like the end of the line for him. 8-1- Unacceptable and unbelievable.
-
Unlike every one else I am picking, Mexico, USA and Jamaica to get out of the hex as Automatic qualifiers..
One thing, we all forgot here how tough it is for a team to play at the office. It's a hard place to win a game and Jamaica will have 4 home games. In previous qualifiers, Mexico, Honduras and Canada combined couldn't even manage to score a goal at the office. They all got beaten and kept scoreless. In this recent qualifier, Antigua, Guatemala and the US again all got beaten and out played at the office..
Right now, the only team I think that can beat JA convincingly at home and away is Mexico. Costa Rica is not that good, Guyana made them look that good, The US is on shaky ground, Honduras is not as good as they looked like against Canada. Canada made them looked that good. I will give these home games against Costa Rica, US and Honduras to JA and with a couple of tie games on the road, JA can make it out of the Hex...
The canada result didn't surprise me..I saw the game against St. Kitts in which they struggle and were lucky to come out of St Kitts with a tie 0-0 game in the first round. After that game, I knew they weren't going anywhere
-
I expect
1. Mexico
2. Costa Rica
3. USA
3.5 South America team.
The team that finishes in 4th place in the Hexagonal will go into a play-off against the winner of Oceana (not a South American team).

Correct, Hart took the loss for the blowout yesterday.
-
Unlike every one else I am picking, Mexico, USA and Jamaica to get out of the hex as Automatic qualifiers..
I'm going to play devils advocate here and pick the USA and Mexico for two of the 3 automatic spots.
That leaves Honduras, Costa Rica, Jamaica, panama to battle it out for the remaining 1.5 spots. I believe Honduras' 8-1 drubbing of Canada is not a real indication of Honduras strengths....its more the mental weakness of the Canadians. Cuba did much better in Honduras than the sorry Canadians....Costa Rica looks to have lost a step, and i believe they would do well to go back to playing their home games at the Saprissa...i believe the new stadium they play in does not give them the same atmosphere most CONCACAF teams fear.
This is one game Jamaica must look to come away from with something...3 points prefferably. I'm not saying it will happen..just saying this is perhaps the mostlikely place it will happen on the road.
Panama is a team on the rise...and they seem to own Jamaica recently. Personally, I'm more fearful of Panama than CRC and HON, especially in Panama.
I think CONCACAF will end up with 4 teams in the World cup this time around. I dont think New Zealand can survive home and away against the 4th place concacaf team (Jamaica/Pan/Hon/CRC). Jamaica recently beat NZ in Auckland with literally a B team...they must have been missing some key players as well, but it at least shows where they are with their football.

I will say it again, underestimate JA and Panama at your own peril.
-
Panama- Will be the spoiler. They have been making great strides and it is between them and Jamaica for the third spot.
-
Panama eh no spoiler. They are legit. Remember a couple years ago they made tha final of the Gold Cup vs US in the Meadowlands. Apart from Mex. and US to an extent, the other places are a toss up.

Steupess! panama what, they will eat real licks! right now they came through real sorf teams, and was in the weakest semis group, now that they are up against the big boys, watch cutskin.

JMO friend, you don't have to take it seriously.
PS: i never said they were weak, i said they were in a weak group. now that they are in an elite group, IMO they will have a harder time, they will beat teams like costarica and honduras, but i seriously doubt that they'll get anything from mexico USA and jamaica.

Mediocrity Will Not Be Tolerated
Jurgen Klinsmann Is Demanding Much More From U.S. Soccer; Even You, Clint Dempsey (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323940004578258072832363036.html?KEYWORDS=MATTHEW+FUTTERMAN)

Associated Press
Jurgen Klinsmann has spent the past 18 months trying to pinpoint the shortcomings of U.S. soccer.
Carson, Calif.
Jurgen Klinsmann, the former German star who now coaches the U.S. men's national soccer team, has spent the past 18 months taking his sword to the game's sacred cows in the U.S., determined to point out the shortcomings of a culture that he sees as having largely accepted mediocrity.
For players still patting themselves on the back for making the 2002 World Cup quarterfinals, Klinsmann had this to say during a rare in-depth interview last week: "Just because you won a game in the World Cup in the knockout stage, you haven't won anything."
More
Daily Fix: Jurgen Klinsmann Sounds Off
In Klinsmann's eyes, nearly all of his players are below the level he demands. Even Clint Dempsey, who scored 23 goals for English Premier League Club Fulham last year, will have to work harder to truly impress his national coach, a former international star who won a World Cup for Germany in 1990.
"[Dempsey] hasn't made s---. You play for Fulham? Yeah, so? Show me you can play for a Champions League team, and then you start on a Champions League team," Klinsmann says. "There is always another level. If you one day reach the highest level then you've got to confirm it, every year."
Then there's Landon Donovan. Long considered this country's greatest player, he is currently an afterthought. Donovan is on another lengthy vacation following the Major League Soccer season, a concept Klinsmann seems to find baffling.
Klinsmann recently told Donovan he didn't want him at the U.S. team's January camp or at the match against Honduras in a couple of weeks. "It will be defined over the next year what his role with the national team is. But the ultimate call is mine on whether he fits into my plans or doesn't fit into my plans."
And it isn't just the team's stars who are hearing a new message. "Some players are walking around waiting for something to happen, but Jurgen's message is that it's up to you which type of professional you want to be," says Kyle Beckerman, a midfielder who has made 23 appearances with the national team.
Soccer remains the last great puzzle in American sports. It's the only widely played sport that the U.S. hasn't come close to conquering. Forget about producing a team that can compete at the highest international level—something the U.S. has managed in nonendemic sports like hockey, archery and rowing—this vast, wealthy, sports-obsessed nation has never even produced a genuine superstar.
No one knows why exactly. To Klinsmann, who has an American wife and has lived here for 15 years, it's because the culture has never demanded it. American players begin to feel as though they have made it when they get a college scholarship, or an MLS contract, at 18 or 19. While the rest of the world plays 11 months a year, Americans grow up seeing professional athletes play a seven-month season and taking the rest of the year off.

U.S. national team stars Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey.
"We don't have the environment telling them nicely, 'OK you had a good week, but next week has to be better, and the next week again,'" he says. "Here it's: 'Oh, take a week off.' No, don't take a week off. If you take a week off as a programmer at Apple, you missed the train, you lost the job. You can't afford it."
Dempsey is apparently listening. He joined Tottenham, a more prestigious English side, this season and scored his fifth goal Sunday. "Jurgen is trying to raise the bar for U.S. Soccer, but Clint has met the challenge at every level," said Lyle Yorks, Dempsey's agent.
Richard Motzkin, Donovan's agent, said he, too, is taking Klinsmann at his word and knows he will have to earn back a spot on the national team after he rejoins his club, the Los Angeles Galaxy, at some still to-be-determined time later this year.
For all involved, Klinsmann has been something of a rude awakening in a country where quasi-anonymous national players can drink in night clubs until 3 a.m. without any repercussions. Play in Italy or Germany, Klinsmann says, "You drink more than two glasses of wine, you get the looks from people."
Likewise, early exits from the World Cup don't cause a lot of people in the U.S. to get too hot and bothered. A mere trip to the knockout round has become a cause for celebration.
By contrast, Germany's early exit at the 2004 European Championship created a national debate within the government and the media about the direction of the country's development program. It allowed Klinsmann, who was named the national coach at the time, to alter Germany's style from defensive and organized to a more freewheeling, proactive approach that he felt reflected how the country wanted to be seen.
"We said the only way was we got to attack, we got to go forward," he says. "Maybe it's in our DNA. Maybe it was wrongfully in our DNA in two world wars. Who knows that? I don't know, I was not even born yet. But I just said we Germans, we can't take just defending."
Back then, Klinsmann's work drew an international spotlight. One morning last week, the man who once starred at Bayern Munich and Inter Milan trudged alone across an empty parking lot at the Home Depot Center near Los Angeles, lugging a backpack and a shoulder bag to lead practice for his team's second-tier players. The best ones, like the players on every other top national team, were busy with their club teams in the European leagues that play through the winter. Two hours later, he stalked the center of the penalty area, badgering his players during a crossing-and-shooting drill. "Hungry, hungry…Time it, time it…Nice, but no goal. Got to be better."
As the U.S. prepares to embark on the final phase of qualification for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Klinsmann is aiming beyond a decent showing and sees the U.S. as a country that needs to be dictating the action. But its national team has never played that way because, in his view, no one ever demanded it. As a result, the players weren't physically or mentally conditioned to press opponents with the relentlessness of the best teams in the world. Long a believer in the constant monitoring of players, Klinsmann has instilled a system of regularly testing the team's strength and fitness and proscribing specific training regimens so each player can mitigate his deficiencies.
Results have been mixed so far. The U.S. team matched its best-ever winning percentage in 2012, but struggled with consistency on the road during World Cup qualifying. "This team needs to measure itself with the best out there in order to get better," Klinsmann says before rushing off to another practice. "That's what we are trying to do."

Coca-Cola pours millions into football programme
Published: Friday | February 1, 2013 0 Comments
Ryon Jones, Staff Reporter
The country's football programme has received a well-needed boast ahead of the final round of CONCACAF qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup.
International soft drink brand, Coca-Cola, came on board with a sponsorship package to the tune of US$1.6 million (approximately J$149m) over a six-year period.
The sponsorship deal includes cash, products, performance incentives, promotional support and global activations, as Jamaica now shares a common bond with great football nations such as Argentina and Germany, which are also sponsored by the global brand.
"It is a great pleasure to announce an exciting and dynamic partnership between Coke and the Jamaica Football Federation," managing director of Wisynco Group Limited, William Mahfood, announced during yesterday's press launch at the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) headquarters.
long-term investment
Shermin Peters, senior market development manager of Coca-Cola Company, pointed out that the company's sponsorship of the country's national team is a continuity of their commitment across the region.
"This is more than just Coca-Cola being the official sparkling soft beverage of football in Jamaica," Peters expressed. "This is about a long-term investment in Jamaica and it's people, and it's an extension of the Coca-Cola company's commitment to promoting active lifestyles among youths and families."
The senior team will open their campaign in the final round next Wednesday against Mexico, and Prime Minister and Minister of Sports, Portia Simpson Miller, was on hand to wish the team all the best.
"Our Reggae Boyz give us hope that all of us in Jamaica can achieve the synergy required for nation building," Simpson Miller said. "They (Reggae Boyz) have brought this nation together before and Jamaica is eager to stand with you again on this next leg of your journey."
Captain Horace Burrell, president of the JFF, took the opportunity to encourage other corporate entities to support the programme.
"I am hoping that other corporate companies will actually take a page out of your (Wisynco) book and come on board," Burrell said. "Football generates a kind of interest that not many other endeavours can in fact generate and, therefore, I want to tell you that having taken on Jamaican football you have taken on a winner."

Ok boss last time I checked Dempsey is an American (US culture) and my response wasn't even based on he goal yesterday (it really wasn't, actually when ah was writing dat ah was thinking bout how he was moving like ah Brazilian de last couple times TnT play de US) my issue is when men come on here and make dey blanket generalizations and basically talking....wait, wait this is going against the person i'm trying to become, I should respect his opinion and every body else, so ok fine.
IMO Klinsman is ah cacahole for setting them up for failure...oh I do love de use of de word 'alleged'
The first Jamaican miss was world class, and Jamaica had a portly-ish fellah playing too...levity people, levity ;)

Chicharito - I reiterate - is not a baller.

When I think of lack original thought and creativity, the first person that comes to mind is Clint Dempsey, right?? For me, dais US culture. . .too scripted. . .no original thought and creativity. Hard to appreciate it. :yellowcard:
Despite a history of creativity and innovation in almost every facet? A very curious criticism indeed.
"every facet" except on the field of play, where it counts most, yuh flag-waving idiot!
Duh!
Nah ah ha to jump een here..I wish Tottenham didn't have ah 'too scripted' player who lacks original thought and creativity, or else my Manu would have had a 12 point lead in de EPL :)
And speaking of Manu...Chicarito not ah baller? Credibilty is out de window!!!!
Dempsey tries to be creative and sometimes things come off but more times than not he stiff and deliberate in his play. He smart and can read the game I will give him that but he because a dribble or two comes off, doesn't mean he creative and not deliberate in how he plays. He may have good technique when he strikes a ball but doesn't mean he is creative or naturally gifted.

de talk is about the way the usa play as a TEAM.....and you trying to use one alleged "creative" player (who scored a goal that was more opportunity than creativity) to dispel that....steuwps.

Not necessarily the case, it may just be the generation. When you consider players like Tab Ramos, Reyna, Wegerly & Rossi (who chose Italy), they were not scripted players. USA player development, like Canada, was heavily influenced by the British. As a consequence playmakers were considered a luxury and were not encouraged.

You have to be one out-sized tun tun (which would explain why Giggsy does be following yuh arung so). The man didn't limit his comment to "field of play", which is why I said his comment was curious. But doh let large concepts like dat tie up yuh head.
A veritable no-brainer ... which places Bakes in largely uncharted territory.
Two and a half hours to come up with something and dai'z de best yuh could do? I musta been too generous to think you bigger than to let toting feelings turn yuh into ah opportunist. Insecure much?

And in the case of the Americans, the Poles and Germans too. All ah dem stifled individual creativity and free flowing football. The recognition is there now... change integration, not so much.

Yawwwwwn......yuh talkin' 'bout tun tun and fail to smell dat you is de ripest one in de clinic.....the vast majority of "American" "creativity and innovation" comes from foreigners, however they land here or are coaxed here. From automotive to electronics to architecture, to construction, to infrastructural advances, the united states falls far behind the other major industrialized countries (whose talents are practically all home-grown) that compete in the same fields, so don't let your "history" of innovation and creativity fool yuh dotish c**t, y'all not so great when it comes to that as you claim. What the man said was applicable as it relates to their football and he knew damned well what he was saying. Of course, your literal, catholic nun, jackass self couldn't wait to feel like you giving extra lessons. the only one "lost" in this whole discussion is you.

The thing is, any American could play against Trinidad and look like a Brazilian and dize real talk. We are SO behind and stuck in old flight patterns we just going in a circle and when we play against the us, we look like we running in circles.....by the way, the goal I was talking about wasn't the one he scored yesterday, either....I was talkin' about the one he scored against manu.

I have no expertise in ripe smelling tun tun so I would have to defer to your authority on that.. That said... it is beyond laughable that you would claim that "the vast majority of "American" "creativity and innovation" comes from foreigners." Henry Ford, Scott Joplin, Miles Davis, Jackson Pollock, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson... heck, Bill Gates/Steve Jobs.... no creativity or innovation, I'm sure. In fact why I arguing with yuh when yuh right all ah dem is 'foreigners'... Sitting Bull and dem didn't invent shit.
Lost on you is the fact that yuh trying to say is de foreigners who bringing all de creativity and innovation to the US, blissfully oblivious to the fact that is dem self who responsible for US football being in the state it is... as Observer points out.

A whole lotta names yuh call dey....in so many areas......Yeah, yuh so right...that makes up the "vast majority" alright. As far as american football being in the "state it is in" Observer is right in pointing out that the player development model is based on the british model and is laden with british-based coaches throughout their developmental system and coaching schools....with a sprinkling of foreign-born players that have worn your stars and stripes.....what state do you suppose it would be in, compared to where it is now, without any foreign influence, yuh c**t? They would still be where they were before Italy '90, if not further behind. That being said, their lack of creativity on the field is not far off from the bland, British style it is based on.

Germans stifled Individual creativity Bakes, you sure about that? I would say Beckenbauer, Overath, Netzer, Shuster, Litbaski, Effenberg Ozil, Muller, Schurrle, Gotze will all argue that point with you. The difference with the Germans is they think collectively first, but to say the stifle creativity is very questionable.

I talking about the German and Polish ex-pats who (along with the Brits) were at the front of the institutionalization and development of soccer here in the US. I'm not talking about the national teams in the respective mother countries, those were exposed to other international influences which helped make their game more dynamic. The ex-pats stateside were less progressive in their thinking.

Fact! the americns and the mexicans will never respond to a coach from other than their culture.

Take time, counselor.
1. Initially I was wondering what the 2.5 hour reference was about ... got it!
If you must know, between 6:43:03 a.m. and 9:14:46 a.m. on the forum time stamp, I merely added an ellipsis (...) ... for clarity's sake and because I didn't "like" how the sentence read without the ellipsis. What can I say? Sorry , I didn't get around to it sooner? :-\ It was a legitimate attempt to be fair and balanced.
2. Notice: ("A veritable no-brainer= yes, I agree with the unassailable view that the field of play was inherent in Cocorite's comment.)
("... which places Bakes in largely uncharted territory"=you're generally known fuh using yuh noggin (except perhaps right this minute in your response to me???) ... so I was actually NOT attacking you - opportunistically or otherwise. I was making a substantive assertion.
In fact two assertions ... thoughtfully bifurcated by the ellipsis.
3. I admit to having lost the trail at the "toting of feelings" sentiment as I'm unaware of any reason(s) why such a disposition should enter into my calculus. You seem to presume there is a supplemented dimension to my comments. There is a total of none. Please relieve yourself of the notion.
I state things you don't agree with from time to time and vice versa ... why stop now?
4. While I have this platform let me state squarely that my assessment of you is formed entirely on the four corners of this forum. You've used it as vivid canvas. I haven't pursued inquiries beyond you or this canvas. Not sure you can assert the same. Lehwe leave it there.

If we're talking about a dominant personality on U.S. coaching methodology, no serious conversation can be held without referring to Dettmar Cramer, a German.

Chicharito - I reiterate - is not a baller.
You may not like him! Fair enough! But to say he is not a baller, is a load of rubbish.
He is not a baller. What does he do. When he can't get tap ins, can he drop in an play? Can he drift outwide and take players on? What?
-

Score goals?
Chicharito is no Messi but I'd be curious to know your definition of a 'baller'? Not looking for argument, don't really care that much... just curious. If a player can "drop in an play" or "drift outwide and take players on"... but doesn't find the back of the net... is he a baller?
For me, when I think of a 'baller' I think of someone who impacts the game in several different ways. In that sense you could say Hernandez doesn't fit the bill... but his movement inside the box is exquisite. How man footballers not getting them same "tap ins" the way Chicharito does? It might seem unspectacular that he scores these tap ins (you almost want to say "ho-hum... Chicharito with another tap-in"), but it's no coincidence that he consistently seems to be in the right place at the right time.
Speaking of ballers though... Leighton Baines is a baller. Solid efensively, he creates for others, is an attacking threat during the run of play and dangerous from set pieces. Very underrated player.
EDIT:
Not sure why I keep trying to give Baines Welsh background lol

The US can lose on the road and win every home and qualify. JK looking far ahead, like Brazil ahead. Throw men in the deep end on the road and let them bleed there, so that when yuh in Wisconsin vs JA hopefully those scar will assist.

That's it Bakes, correct. I like how you explain it.
He can score goal, but he is not a baller. That's why I did not say player. Right now, Lennon is more of a baller than Chicharito. The fella can score goals, so to Dwight Yorke, Cole, Nistleroy and Ole Gunnar, but the difference is they can ball.
Yuh need players like him though. Right now T&T and Chelsea could do with a player like him.

The beauty of football, there is a place for all types, once you can create a balance. Uwe Seller, Muller, Rush, Klose, Gomes, Morientes, Liniker, Kluivert the list goes on, scoring goals is what the game is about. If you have the knack to know where the ball will arrive & can finish, you are a baller (in my eyes). Why? Its a big big part of the game. Look at Brazil now, plenty of so called "ballers" and no one to finish the move.

I was just going to say de same...all the shit talk about he eh no baller. what de arse is a baller if he is not one? The man deadly around the box...goals win matches and if anyone knows how to get the ball, hotw to position himself to get the opportunities and THEN..score!
The man can dribble, has speed, can score with either foot, with his head (for a short man he is outstanding and clinical with his head)and has the acumen to know where to find himself on teh pitch to get the ball. He is clinical and unpredictable. He can run with the ball and keep defenders at bay. Total BALLER!
Ass talk

I watch the jamaica game, and it's one of the best games i've seen jamaica played ever!! it was even better than the game they playued against USA in the office where they defeated the yanks. the game wqs so good that i goin and watch it again in a minute. jamaica coulda win dat game hands down bc they caught mexico on about five counter attack that could have resulted in goal if they had clinical finishers like fuller and shelton.

Stueps. Go back under yuh rock nah

Ass talk about website. The man is a proven goal scorer. He can run at defenders, he can beat then, he can play ball. Funny thing is I hate Man U but that man can play ball.
I waiting on elan to disprove what I wrote about the man and all he can offer up is :bs:?
Disprove what I said...
1. He can score with both feet.
2. He is a master at finding himself in goal scoring positions.
3. He is clinical with his head.
4. He can dribble well.
5. He can get past defenders and keep them off until he gets the shot off.
6. He scores a lot of goals.
That equals a baller.

De bredda sticking to he guns, and dats fine if he doing dat, heentitled to he opinion, I rel big on dat.
I was going and try to put Chicarito scoring record and all dat on here, but dat will do no good.

Every single PLAYER, can do just about that. Basic freaking technique you talking about. I bow to that long time. I say the fella can play and that my 2 teams can do with him right now. But, he is not a baller. Simple JA showed that, they exposed him.
Look at Rooney and look at Chicharito, Look at RVP.

On the subject of ballers, any of the 70s and 80s babies remember this striker? He did not seem to have any special skill, but always found himself in the right place at the right time, a true opportunist.

Salvatore Schillaci came to the rescue of an Italian team that had a hard time scoring goals in the 1990 WC. I remember Vialli spurning many opportunities.
-
Ass talk about website. The man is a proven goal scorer. He can run at defenders, he can beat then, he can play ball. Funny thing is I hate Man U but that man can play ball.
I waiting on elan to disprove what I wrote about the man and all he can offer up is :bs:?
Disprove what I said...
1. He can score with both feet.
2. He is a master at finding himself in goal scoring positions.
3. He is clinical with his head.
4. He can dribble well.
5. He can get past defenders and keep them off until he gets the shot off.
6. He scores a lot of goals.
That equals a baller.
Every single PLAYER, can do just about that. Basic freaking technique you talking about. I bow to that long time. I say the fella can play and that my 2 teams can do with him right now. But, he is not a baller. Simple JA showed that, they exposed him.
Look at Rooney and look at Chicharito, Look at RVP.
So because a striker get shut out.he is not a baller? Elan you make no sense

That man hit a real purple patch at the right time. He was in the lower divisions and Juventus bought him just before the WC. He start banging in goals and Italy pick him. Man was on the bench, get a break and the rest is history.

Interesting that you choose to say Jamaica expose Hernandez! Like only he played in the game, by your logic one can also conclude that Dos Santos, Guardado, Salcido were also exposed. The truth is, that if anything was exposed, is the fact that Mexico's back line is vulnurable to pace.
-
Why all the criticism? The whole MExico team played poorly. I missed most of the first half but in the second the only good chance I see Chicharito get is the neat one two that the keeper did real good to rush and block. From what I saw he wasn't getting good opportunities.
As for being a baller in general, Chicharito makes some beautiful runs off the ball. Better than most strikers I see now.

I watch the jamaica game, and it's one of the best games i've seen jamaica played ever!! it was even better than the game they playued against USA in the office where they defeated the yanks. the game wqs so good that i goin and watch it again in a minute. jamaica coulda win dat game hands down bc they caught mexico on about five counter attack that could have resulted in goal if they had clinical finishers like fuller and shelton.
I think the coaching staff got the tactics right for this game, but perhaps the biggest factor is this: Jamaica now has a very good defensive unit. Keeper Ricketts on his day is one of the better keepers in CONCACAF, and has years of experience, having gone to France 98 as Jamaica third string keeper. Nyron Nosworthy, Adrian Mariappa are solid players, Jermaine Taylor is a mainstay in the Houston Dynamo defense and Demar Philips has also had a good 4 seasons at Aalesunds in Norway. The Midfield also now has two very rugged box-to-box type guys in Rudi Austin from Leeds united and Marvin Elliot of Bristol City ...very experienced players. Jobi McCanuff of Reading, what a player, very solid on the wings, and although he missed that early rebound off the post in his follow up shot saved by the goalie, he had a very solid game. Perhaps the area where Jamaica needs some reinforcement is in the area of attack. Jermaine Beckford got injured just prior to the Mexican game and had to be pulled out, he probably is our marquee striker at the moment, although it sounds weird saying that for a guy who has not yet made his debut. But all in all, I still believe this team is two or three players short of being a team that can take one of the 3 automatic spots. We play Panama next, anything but a victory here will put pressure back on the coach and players. I expect a sell-out crowd in Kingston next month...wont be easy for Panama.

Panama is a team that is well respected by Jamaicans in general, and by me in particular. That was a shocking miss from McCanuff, but credit has to also be given to the Goalie who pulled off an incredible save. I would have liked that chnace to have fallen to a player like Shelton...more than likley that would have been in the bag.

Toto had an amazing 1990 WC, in fact Italy should have gone on to play the Germans in the final, but that's long gone. In many ways Toto was Italy's 1990 Paolo Rossi, 1 WC wonders, both faded after 82 and 90 respectively.
I think when Elan talks about Ballers it's almost as if he's reserving that description for midfield generals, playmakers who are also lethal goal scorers (well maybe w/the exception of Ronaldo and no, not the macomeh man). But whatever the definition, you need clinical finishers, these men including Chicharito all fit the bill

Good point breddo..somehow ah feel if it was used to describe men like say Inzaghi and the aforementioned Toto and Rossi men wouldn't have chimed in (I know I wouldn't have) as much as dey did.
And it have Manu on here to boot, what he expected :)
But on we go wid the hex...Go USA ;)

Rossi was a more complete (or rounded player) than exclusive reliance on the 1982 WC would suggest.

If we're talking about a dominant personality on U.S. coaching methodology, no serious conversation can be held without referring to Dettmar Cramer, a German.
Methodology sure! The basis of the methodology still stands today, though it has gone through and obvious evolution and been built upon. But the problem is not methodology, but a philosophy on individual development, how the collective game is played and
player type.

Reggae Boyz to play Spurs in crucial warm-up
T&T Guardian.
KINGSTON—Jamaica will tackle English Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) ahead of their two toughest home games in the ultimate phase of Concacaf World Cup Qualifying (WCQ) for next year’s Fifa World Cup Finals in Brazil.
The Reggae Boyz will battle Spurs on May 23 inside the new Thomas A Robinson National Stadium on Nassau Paradise Island. The match comes just 11 days before the Boyz tackle Mexico inside the National Stadium and three days later will also host the United States of America. “We are going to use that game (against Spurs) as a warm-up because it is just before we play Mexico in Jamaica,” Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) president, Captain Horace Burrell said.
“So we are going to treat the tour as a training camp and the game as a game to fine-tune our preparations going into the game against Mexico.” Spurs currently lie fourth in the Barclays Premier League and its match against Jamaica will be the first featuring an English Premier League Club in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.
Bahamian authorities will host the Reggae Boyz squad in the island for a week prior to the Spurs encounter, so as to allow the team time to properly prepare for the Mexico match.
“That game could not have come at a better time,” said Burrell.
“So the plan is for all the members of the team to go to Bahamas and train, so at the conclusion of that we will be more than ready for the Mexican encounter in Jamaica.” Burrell says both teams have agreed to field their strongest sides for the fixture putting the Reggae Boyz against such players as Welsh winger Gareth Bale, English forward Jermaine Defoe and his Togolese partner, Emmanuel Adebayor.
“It is a massive game and we have been assured that all of Tottenham Hotspur’s first-string players, their entire team, will be there,” Burrell disclosed. “On the other hand, we have been asked to field our strongest team as well, which fits right into our plans as we tackle Mexico days after. We will have all of our England-based players, because the Premier League season would have ended around the same time.”
The two teams accepted the invitation from the Government of Bahamas to play the match which also marks one of the major events in the new 15,000-seat stadium, as well as the yearlong celebration of The Bahamas’ 40th anniversary of Independence. CMC

Twellman is ah real cunny. The referee first and main job is player safety. The players has no say in this. For a former international to say that the ref should talk to the players to see if they want to play utter :bs:
This ref is ripe for a lawsuit if a Pro get hurt in this condition.

Sometimes yuh does watch these teams play against the usa and yuh does REALLY be left arkskin' yuh self if money didn't pass.....Not only were Costa Rica (suspiciously) more than gracious to accept these playing conditions, but how in the world they could look SO uncomfortable in these conditions and the americans look SO completely opposite? I cyah understand dat.....usa was knockin' the ball aroung and finding open space to receive passes like if CR was playing a man or two short. WTF?!?!
-
Under all the shit talk...Costa Rica is to blame! When the Match Commissioner called the game and there was a pause, why de f**k dem eh walk off the pitch?
Match Commissioner only has the authority to determine whether the game should be played. Once the ball is kicked off the decision lies with the ref. But yeah, not sure why Costa Rica agreed to continue playing under circumstances that clearly didn't favor them.

Some of you guys are f**king pathetic...
Is it not the right of USA to play their HOME game wherever they feel it may benefit them best ? If they play in a warm state / anything south across America odds are the stadium would be half Costa Rican Immigrants therefore losing the 12th man
Why none of allyuh complain about Azteca and never say Mexico desperate when they make teams play above sea level and they cant breathe ?
Dont let your true emotions towards the country USA overshadow common sense and football... its simply home advantage and it f**king worked..3 points
-
From the words by BM fook Jamaica dont give ah crap if they qualify or the scores of their game just fook jamaica

That amount of snow i dont even think the US federation would have anticipated but yes they have a right to play wherever they choose. I would more relate the potential to stop the match to that of a water logged field, where essentially the field is not in match condition rather than any risk to player safety.

Furious Costa Rica to protest after snowy defeat to U.S.
By Simon Evans
DENVER, Colorado, March 23 (Reuters) - Furious Costa Rica coach Jorge Luis Pinto said it was an "embarassment to football" that Friday's World Cup qualifier with the United States was played in strong snow, while his federation promised to make an official protest.
The U.S. won 1-0 but Pinto was riled the game was played on a snowy field with a covering that became deeper as the game wore on.
"It was an embarrassment to football, disrespectful to the game," an animated Pinto told reporters.
The game was played at the 19,374 capacity Dicks Sporting Goods Park, home of Major League Soccer's Colorado Rapids, nestled at the foot of the Rockie Mountains.
Pinto said the "legal conditions" for playing the game were not in place and a Federation official told Costa Rican media that an official protest would be made to FIFA on Saturday.
The referee stopped the game briefly in the 55th minute but only to ask ground staff to clear snow from the pitch markings and the game resumed after a few minutes.
Costa Rica's players showed little dissent on the field, going close to an equaliser in the second half, but they vented their anger after the game.
"Honestly, it was robbery, a disgrace, I've never played a game in these conditions," said midfielder Cristian Bolanos, who plays with Danish club FC Copenhagen.
"You couldn't see the ball ... if we had played without snow, we would have won, I am sure," he said.
Striker Alvaro Saborio, who plays in Major League Soccer for Real Salt Lake, concurred.
"We couldn't play in those conditions, they should have stopped the game in the first half," he said.
Had the game been abandoned it would have had to be finished in the following 48 hours, causing a logistical problem for both teams who play again on Tuesday.
U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati felt the referee had made the right decision.
"Frankly, (stopping) would not have been to the advantage of either of the two teams, since they both play on Tuesday," Gulati told reporters.
"Obviously you worry about the safety of players and being able to see the ball. The referee and the match commissioner made the decision that the game could continue and I think it was the right decision," he said.
Gulati said the decision to play in Denver in March had not been based on any desire to have difficult wintry conditions for Central American opponents, but was mainly due to the desire to spend a week at altitude before a game in Mexico City on Tuesday.
"If the thought is that we want to play Costa Rica in a situation where it could snow, then there are some places that maybe could have been better, like Boston or somewhere," he said. (Reporting By Simon Evans. Editing by Patrick Johnston)

Ha ha ha ha @ Tallman pic
I actually find the US ent play nothing in the second half and CR thought they had them thais why they continue to play. Now you want to complain and protest. Hard luck.
Fack America though
-
Snowball- not football!!!! Cr time alluh see the conditions - walk- if they disqualify yuh then protest. I wonder what are the FIFA bylaws regarding acceptable playing conditions for football at this level? ummm maybe it is all contingent on the alleged close door payments certain FIFA officials may be alleged to be receiving on reported match fixing.

The USA has alrights to play where they see fit for the gain. But the US saying CR uses midday time to play WC games CR is a joke. Hot weather is not an issue for the US. I have seen US played WC games at midday. That has to do more for TV wanting to play the game for ratings. I have seen midday games in RFK and Miami in midday to 2.:00pm. US just can't habdle the ethnic fans coming to support the opponents. If the they did not have a game on Tuesday coming, the game might have been postpone until today
-
Denver was chosen so we could prepare at altitude for Mexico.
Saying the weather worked to our advantage? Well, show me a team in the region that doesn't try to get any advantage they can from their own climate. Or altitude, or blistering heat, or tropical rain, or intimidating crowds, or poor playing surface, etc...
Welcome to CONCACAF.
-
Zeppo, I support the US I am a US citizen, but that was shit! Game should have been called...oh gosh man.
-
Stueps there is a difference between and bad pitch and a pitch that totally unplayable. Can't believe what I reading Stueps!
-
I remember Premier League games being threatened to be postponed for less snow.
So Zeppo, your argument is weak.
-
The USWNT played Mexico in similar conditions in Utah a couple years ago.

Yes they did, but that was a friendly international. This game should have been stopped, because it was a WC qualifier.
-
Anybody who argue in favor playing on such a
pitch conditions is either biased or has no regard for the beautiful game. Winning is NOT everything. Life is much more than winning.
-
Both sides have merit....dat snow ridculous doh. And if they cancelled the game..when would it have been played again?
But ent in conditions like that.... dey supposed to use an orange ball?
-
Interestungly Twellman made a statement on ESPN Press Pass after they game saying that the US scored their goal early on when the field was "playable". But he still was bawlin during the game dat the game should continue. We know why game should continue. ;)

Chelsea game last year was postponed and there was no snow on the field and the ground was not frozen, the grass was as green as grass.

...another thing folks need to consider, I may be wrong and someone please correct me if I am, but it seems to me that that pitch was an artificial surface field, not so? I'm sure plenty will disagree but to me, playing football on a wet artificial surface is bordering on tactical suicide. this (american based) obsession with converting every field into a cost-cutting venture is going to ruin people's careers but on the issue at hand, it is, IMHO, even more reason the game should not have continued, even if AR allowed themselves to agree to getting it started in the first place. I was not letting my team play on that field especially in them conditions.

The new stadium is grass. However, they announced that they would play some of their home qualifiers at Saprissa, which has an artificial surface.

Can't really blame FIFA on this one... the Costa Rican captain should have complained in the presence of the US captain to the referee about the playing conditions. The Costa Rican head of delegation then had to follow up in writing within two hours of the match. A technicality, but if that's the rule then that's the rule.

So now you just don't have to play soccer you have to also be verse in FIFA Administrative Law. Because the hosting organization has no responsibility in the event, the referee job is just to blow the whistle and wear a yellow shirt.
The rule is the rule, hard luck.

Remember when we were robbed in Haiti? Camps nor Renwar made any protest. The Mexicans protested the game and said it could have invalidated other results also as the refs and lines men were suspect. The FIFA stated the protest made the next day came too late.

Costa Rica 1 over Jam so far.

Well,well,well. Who would believe that we would see Mex. 2nd last in the Hex. standings. Well it is still early..... but not for long. They better start winning or they may be travelling to NZ. Imagine just a couple months ago they beat Brazil for the Olimpic gold. Yesterday is yestaerday, today is today. I like this Hex. It going down to the wire. By the way don't count JA out as yet. One win and they in first place. I know this football driving allyuh prognosticators batty. I don't care what them Euros does say about our zone. It is a hard zone to compete in. Travel, weather, altitude, etc make it more interesting. By the way, I think the US did pretty good by gaining a point in Mex.
-
Praise unto Jah and the land of ackee all hail the Caribbean force the football egotist of the Caribbean...yeah Jamaica. Take pounding take pounding!!! ah love it!!!
Jamaica has played 2 out of its three games on the road...while Mexico has played two of its three games so far in the Azteca. a win for Jamaica in its next game can put them on top of the group. We still have 21 points to play for...our next two games are in Kingston....possibly 6 points there would put us back in the top 2.
next round of games will be in June, plenty time for Mexico to regain its composure, and plenty time for Panama to get swell headed and start self destruct like they normally do. This is a very competitive HEX, as you can see, most teams has already dropped points at home...and the mighty Mexico as yet to win a game after three tries.
-
This hex will stay close to the very end especially given the 4th place play off. The only team that had the tendancy to run away was mexico because of the 15 home pts but tht is out the window.
Anybody can beat anybody.
I hoping the group stays bunched up it will make for better games as a neutral.

Nah... check yuh link again:
According to Art. 12.4 (b) and 14.1 of the Regulations for the 2006 FIFA World Cup...
6) The captain of Uzbekistan team protested to the referee immediately after the mistake had taken place and before the game had restarted. This protest was confirmed after the match;
7) This technical error was confirmed by the match commissioner and the referee inspector in their respective reports;
8 ) Uzbekistan protested the decision of the referee in a written request, asking for the match to be "cancelled" and be evaluated with a 3-0 forfeit result;
They didn't wait 24 hours.
As for the rule, here it is- also referenced ("14.1") above^^
FIFA World Cup Regulations (http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/Regulations/01/87/54/21/1875421_DOWNLOAD.pdf): Article 14
(Paragraph 4)Protests regarding the state of the pitch, its surroundings, markings or accessory items (e.g. goals, flag posts or footballs) shall be made in writing to the referee before the start of the match by the head of delegation of the team lodging the protest. If the pitch’s playing surface becomes unplayable during a match, the captain of the protesting team shall immediately lodge a protest with the referee in the presence of the captain of the opposing team. The protests shall be confirmed in writing to the FIFA general secretariat during the preliminary competition, and to the FIFA headquarters in South Africa during the final competition, by the head of the team delegation no later than two hours after the match.

Wasn't Mexico in a similar situation last WCQ?
Mexico has been unfortunate in all three of the games they have played so far. looking at last nights game vs the US, they totally dominated possession and had the lion share of the chances that were created. They were all over the USA. In some respect, same too for the their opening game in the Azteca vs Jamaica, they had most of the possession, had it not been for Ricketts in the Jamaica goal, Mexico could have scored on a couple occasions (although Jamaica had the better scoring opportunities). Then they were up 2-0 away to Honduras only for the Hondurans to claw their way back (helped by a very dubious penalty scored by Costly) Mexico will get it right soon, Jamaica and USA escaped the Azteca with a point, you feel teams like Panama, Honduras who are yet to play there might not get lucky when its their turn.
Having said that, if Panama doesn't self destruct from here on in, I give them one of the automatic slots. They are playing good attacking football at the moment. They are one of the teams that pose a physical threat to Jamaicas game.

....and had the officiating not been so.....dishonest last night and they been awarded and converted either or both of those scandalous penalty non-calls, they might very well have been tied or solitarily in first place today.

why did Ja and Mex play a game with no game for the rest of concacaf?
that will make 3 games for them versus 2 for the other teams in the group
please it means they played each other twice in the first 4 games
why was the schedule put together like this
anybody know what is driving it?

Breds i don't want no enemy ting from you hoss, all i doing is showing you the facts.
and whether yuh like it or not, jamaica was the only team from the region still in the runnin, if yuh have ah problem with them then @ least rep the region.
as much as USA hate canada, yuh think they goin against canada for we? and mexico eh goin against guatemala or elsalvador for no caribbean team!
so you could stay dey, i backing any caribbean team against a north american or ah spanish team regardless of the rivalry we may share. yuh never hear "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"!
-
The fact of the matter is Trinidad didn't make the hex and its our own damn fault. I am not going to hate on Jamaica when they are the only team from the region left. If we were still there, then sure, backing Trinidad 120% but we're not. You think if I watching a track race with Bolt and Gatlin, you think I will be rooting for Gatlin. NEVER. I prefer to hear a Jamaican boast than an American boast.

Uncle Sam bun fyah pon dem!

Worst than Jamaican arrogance is. American arrogance especially fresh water Yankees . I would support Jamacian track any day over American!!!!! I guess on this day the battle of arrogance was won by USA . SonJamaica no WC no Gold Cup appearances . It strictly 4 cup in the land of Ackee.

Dais what the great USA come too?? they can't even find ah channel to bring the game?
The game was on beIN Sports (Channel 392 on Dish Network). I saw the last 20 minutes; really heartbreaking for my JA brothers. Since T&T couldn’t make it to Brazil, I really want to see the Reggae Boyz represent.
beIN is excellent for WCQs. They showed most of the concacaf games from the previous round. Can’t help but reminisce that in 2005 I was the lone Trini guy supporting the warriors, and surrounded by Guatemalans, in this restaurant here in Northern California.
At this moment (1:30 pm PST; 4:30 EST) beIN showing the Haiti vs Spain game live.
JA vs Honduras 12 June at 9pm (PST) on beIN.
-
JA like they celebrate before the final whistle. What a bad goal to give up. One man pressure Bradley wide, man free in the box & 7 man around him. He receive and shoot before even 1 JA man could pressure the ball. Poor poor poor defending. I watch the whole game & JA play like they were scared. Man eh jamming at all, US midfield had space to rent, as a matter of fact intensity was at a minimum.

Spain fielded a good team; nice to see the respect for the fans and the occasion.

Whoa... how cool is that.

34,000 at the game. Haiti played well. Scored a nice goal. Score could have been 5-2. Spain really did not extend themselves. They play Brazil sometime net week. Congrats to the whole endeavour.

I enjoyed this piece on this player and hearing him share about himself, and seeing his kids. Not a fan of the US, but I have read previous stories where he has been singled out by teammates as divisive and that he acts like he is better than them. We he probably is, so dey can haul dey arse!

Dais what the great USA come too?? they can't even find ah channel to bring the game?
The game was on beIN Sports (Channel 392 on Dish Network). I saw the last 20 minutes; really heartbreaking for my JA brothers. Since T&T couldn’t make it to Brazil, I really want to see the Reggae Boyz represent.
beIN is excellent for WCQs. They showed most of the concacaf games from the previous round. Can’t help but reminisce that in 2005 I was the lone Trini guy supporting the warriors, and surrounded by Guatemalans, in this restaurant here in Northern California.
At this moment (1:30 pm PST; 4:30 EST) beIN showing the Haiti vs Spain game live.
JA vs Honduras 12 June at 9pm (PST) on beIN.
HAITI SCORES !
Spain 2 – 1 Haiti
Spain fielded a good team; nice to see the respect for the fans and the occasion.
Breds, the only team i know who does take friendlies lightly is T&T!
come time for friendlies and we does field ah 2nd string team, while mex, USA and honduras going with a full strength team.
we had four nice games to get some cohesion all on fifa dates, and what did we do? the players act de mdcnt talking bout they have tings to do and they mudda ded and they fadder in de infirmery and they dog have measles and they get ah nail juk just all kinda cnt!!
these games was for the players to get some cohesion and iron our some kinks before go went america (gold cup) and embarrass the country.
if these nut jobs in T&T doh know and don't understand that the main purpose friendlies is cohesion period!! and how can you get cohesion with 2nd string player when come gold cup these players would be planted on the bench??!!
my ppl are so unbelievably clueless and frustrating that's it's mindbuggling!!! :frustrated:
-
Dais what the great USA come too?? they can't even find ah channel to bring the game?
everytime yuh tink US making strides in football dey does do some stupidness like dat.
ESPN bought the rights to the USA and Mexico home games and BeIN TV bought the right to Costa Rica's, Honduras, and Panamas.

Saw another thread started about the dearth of dribblers in TnT, but thought this was more appropriate here. I had intended to post this here anyway, justa coincidence I guess that from the jump I liked Dempsey cause he like to try all kinda fancy dribble and just run at people!!!!
SEATTLE
A DAY IN THE OFFICE
That a sudden shift had occurred became apparent on a scraggly practice field on the outskirts of Kingston, Jamaica. As the U.S. national soccer team filed off their bus, the clamor from the kids gripping the fence surrounding the stands was but for one man.
Dempsey! Dempsey! Dempsey!
For the first time in as long as memory will stretch back, Landon Donovan was not the name most closely associated with Team USA — if any player’s name was known at all. Sure, Donovan hadn’t made the team for the trio of June World Cup qualifiers, still rounding into form after a 4-month sabbatical as he was. But then most Jamaicans didn’t know that. Had Donovan been there, he’d have been overshadowed by Clint Dempsey all the same.
Fair enough. Dempsey has scored 11 goals in his last 15 games for the USA, passing Eric Wynalda for second place on the all-time scoring list with his recent brace against Germany, which brought him to 35. Until Friday’s 2-1 over Jamaica, he’d scored seven of the Americans’ 13 goals in World Cup qualifying and five of their seven goals in 2013.
Donovan has just four goals for the USA since the 2010 World Cup — the last three of which came in a 5-1 friendly rout of Scotland a year ago. And he’s not even with the team this week for their World Cup qualifiers.
All Clint Dempsey has ever wanted is more. He is a striver and a seeker, willing his way from a trailer park in Nacogdoches, Texas to English Premier League stardom.
Two of the more famous things ever said about him involve the same expletive. “He tries shit,” said then-U.S. coach Bruce Arena early in Dempsey’s international career, when asked what made the forward different. “He hasn’t done shit,” added current coach Jurgen Klinsmann more recently, when queried about his soon-to-be-captain’s achievements in the game.
Both are incontrovertibly true. He will try things. He’ll take risks, on the field and off. He’ll throw his body in harm’s way. He’ll run at opponents like only a handful of Americans ever have, he’ll take shots nobody else would dare trigger, and he’ll push himself far beyond where a rational professional from a total soccer backwater would have the audacity to.
Most all Americans would have happily settled for seeing out their career with a club like Fulham, a respectable Premier League outfit where Dempsey held the team’s EPL scoring record. But he motored on, relentless and insatiable. On to Tottenham Hotspur — inducing an ugly split from the club that brought him to Europe from the New England Revolution in 2004 last summer — which was awash in reputable and mobile attackers already, many of them younger than their new teammate. But Dempsey carved out a role for himself regardless.
So his coach’s assertion that he has yet to accomplish anything is patently untrue. He has had more of an impact on the professional game overseas than any other American field player. But Dempsey doesn’t look back. That’s not where the goal is, or where his goals are.
Klinsmann has since changed his tune. After the Germany game, he dumped more praise over Dempsey than he has with any other player in almost two years in charge. “Having a player like Clint Dempsey is just a privilege,” Klinsmann said in his press conference. “I think this is one of the best players probably in U.S. history, seeing him perform almost every game at a very, very high level. Right now Clint is right on top with the best players around and certainly the top player on the United States.”
It had been less than four months since he’d denounced Dempsey’s career thus far to the Wall Street Journal. Klinsmann knew what he was doing. A frightful fire roars within Dempsey. And his coach stoked it until it came bursting out of him, sending a pillar of black smoke into the skies.
“What we’re trying to do is to give [the USA players] messages in order to challenge them, in order to make them understand to take your own career in your own hands,” the German coach had explained earlier that week. “Make the next step for yourself, get to the next tier of club if you can. Try to play Champions League one day, go as high as you can.”
Dempsey left Fulham because Spurs were perennial contenders for a spot in the UEFA Champions League. And even if they didn’t make it this year, ending one point off the requisite fourth place, Dempsey established himself anew when many wondered if he’d finally, at 30, pushed himself too far.
“[Klinsmann] wants me to push myself and stay hungry,” Dempsey says. “But that’s something I’ve always done anyway. I’ve always been someone to challenge myself, since I came into [ Major League Soccer] to going to Fulham and then getting the move to Tottenham — I’ve always wanted to play at the highest level possible, always wanted to be the best player I could be and be around the best players.
Dempsey’s elbows rest on a round table as he talks to a handful of reporters in the banquet room of a hotel in Kingston. The left has the outline of Texas tattooed on it, with the Texan star placed on Nacogdoches. Further up his arms the names of his wife, children and older sister who passed away at 16 are stained into his skin, beside Bible verse. Behind is it is an image of Saint Michael fighting the devil, because Dempsey identifies with warriors.
He’d walked into the room the way he usually does, saying very little but taking everything in with his dark, saucer-sized eyes protruding below his equally dark, closely-cropped hair.
“I’ve always had to fight for everything I’ve gotten in my life, to try to make it in soccer,” he now says in his heavy voice with that trace of Texas twang. “From a young age, traveling three hours to Dallas and three hours back for games and training, you realize that you can’t just go out there and let it slip up because everybody’s sacrificing so much for you.”
“[The fire comes from] realizing it doesn’t take much to fall off, doesn’t take much for things to change quickly,” Dempsey says. “But on the flip-side, it doesn’t take much to get going good again. That’s what’s so beautiful about this game. One game and things can be better.
“You don’t really know when your peak is going to be or if you’ve passed it or if it’s still to come. All you can do is just continue. You have to prove yourself every year. You can’t just say, ‘I did it one year – that’s cool.’ You can easily fall to the wayside.”
If you’d declared that this USA team could ever be anybody’s but Donovan’s so long as the all-time scoring leader was still in the game a year or so ago, you and your opinions would have been cast with those of fools and know-nothings and provocateurs and liars.
But this is The Dempsey Show now. He is captain and commander. He gives no orders. He leads from the front. With the goals he scores and the gusto with which he pursues them. Opponents target him for harsher treatment. Because keeping Dempsey from roaming and distributing and trying… erm… things, is half the battle in keeping the USA at bay.
Dempsey! Dempsey! Dempsey!
The game against Jamaica is over. Dempsey has fought and battled and taken risks and shots and knocks. He speaks to the media by the field where he just helped the USA to their first ever win over the Reggae Boyz in a World Cup qualifier on their own turf in a ferociously physical game. Locals plead for pictures. They’ll happily lie to American handlers just to get close.
As he walks out of the stadium, he is stopped a half dozen times. Jamaica isn’t even a soccer country. Track and cricket are what matters here. But they know who Dempsey is.
Little boys tug at him. He gives them all the time he can — a pat on the head, an arm around the shoulder, a few words. They want his t-shirt. But that would leave him half-naked. He smiles, poses for another picture. And then Clint Dempsey moves on. To whatever is next.

And just to keep them honest ;)
JOZY ALTIDORE!!
COMMENTARY | Don't call it a comeback. Jozy Altidore has been routinely finding the back of the net for years.
Don't just take my word for it. The proof is in the stats. Dozens upon dozens of goals scored for Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar. Cup glory. Those still not satisfied should also note that Altidore is currently the most sought-after American footballer on earth.
The "why can't Jozy perform for the US Men's National Team as he does for AZ?" topic is one that arises each and every time Altidore is called up for friendlies or meaningful international competitions. It's also one that could be on the verge of disappearing following what has occurred in the past week. Analysts and fans alike have been quick to point out that Altidore scored against Germany last weekend and in Jamaica on June 7 thanks to a combination of his finally being on the receiving end of some quality distribution and also some shoddy defending. Those individuals aren't incorrect, but it's the scenarios in which Altidore didn't bury a tally that I've noticed a real change in attitude and overall performance, reasons that lead me to believe that the best truly is yet to come for the 23-year old.
Gone is the youngster who would make runs seemingly just to make them, a forward who would have a go whenever presented with the chance because that's what front men do. Once Altidore darted into the box and latched onto a through ball before nearly creating something from nothing in the opening minutes against Germany on June 2, one could tell that it was only a matter of time before he beat a back line and goalkeeper that, truth be told, probably weren't completely into the game. He did so with real class in the 13th minute, coolly hitting a volley that was worthy of any elite goalscorer.
Altidore's week got even better on June 7 when the US were away to Jamaica. Altidore and Graham Zusi again came together to open the scoring, this time off a header from the US forward. Nobody would have blamed Altidore had he followed that goal with a thump of the chest or even a bit of smacktalk toward his critics who have curiously gone silent as summer approaches. He instead immediately pointed at and ran toward Zusi, sharing the spotlight and the celebration with his teammate.
From that moment of the match on, Altidore was a man on a mission until being subbed off seven minutes from time. He demanded balls in and around the penalty area, and he chastised teammates who either didn't see that he was making a run toward the box or who attempted poor passes that never got to him. You could even say that he was, at times, overly greedy and maybe even a bit egotistical.
In short, he was exactly what US fans have, for years, wanted him to be.
Think of the top finishers in the world. They all share the same traits. All want to have a hand in each of his team's attempts on goal, and they all believe that every shot taken by them is being picked out of the net by opposing 'keepers. Altidore has more than earned the right to have a little swagger while out on the pitch. This isn't a case of a player trying too hard to impress a coach or win over a fan base. Altidore is an in-form striker who knows just how well he's playing right now.
Two goals over the span of six days shouldn't have anybody planning a parade. The moments that aren't mentioned in a stat sheet, such as body language, communication with teammates, and making others around him better, all offer hope that Altidore is on the cusp of reaching his maximum potential. Slow and steady has worked out quite well for the American over the past several years.
Remember that, US Soccer fans, if Altidore doesn't score in Team USA's next two World Cup Qualifiers.

U.S. dominates Panama, takes sole lead of Hex
Even a sandy, slip-inducing temporary grass surface couldn't slow the newfound momentum of the U.S. men at CenturyLink Field in front of a lively pro-U.S. contingent of 40,847 on Tuesday, the second largest crowd ever to see the men's team play in the Pacific Northwest.
The Americans used both muscle — here's your chance to shine, Jozy Altidore — and finesse — hometown favorite Eddie Johnson offered up a healthy platter of that — to finish goals en route to a 2-0 home World Cup qualifying game victory against Panama. But equally as important as surviving the temporary field without injury and capturing three points on home soil, the U.S. now stands on 10 points halfway through the 10-game hexagonal tournament, a full two points up on Mexico — a team with one more game played — and Costa Rica (those two tied 0-0 in Mexico earlier Tuesday).

Michael Bradley, Jozy, Eddie Johnson...nuff said, oh and Jermaine Jones could take as he has to to recover from his concussion for all I care...Bradley is the most indispensable midfielder the US has.

Altidore goal lifts U.S. to 3rd straight win
No amount of tight defense could keep Jozy Altidore from doing what he does best.
Altidore has been money in scoring timely goals for the U.S. national team this spring. Honduras made a concerted effort to keep him in check, but the American forward still put himself in the highlight reel again.
Altidore scored a goal in his fourth consecutive international match, enough for the United States to edge Honduras 1-0 in a World Cup qualifying game Tuesday night.

Costa Rica blanks Panama 2-0 in World Cup qualifier
Goals by Bryan Ruiz and Celso Borges put Costa Rica in a stronger position to qualify for next year's World Cup with a 2-0 victory over Panama on Tuesday night.
The Costa Ricans have 11 points from six matches with a 3-1-2 record. That trails only the United States (4-1-1), which beat Honduras earlier in the night.
Ruiz opened the scoring on a free kick in the 49th minute, and Borges clinched it just about two minutes later from long distance in a steady rain at National Stadium.

Costa Rica snaps U.S. winning streak in World Cup qualifier
The United States' 12-game winning run came to a crushing end with a 3-1 defeat against Costa Rica in their CONCACAF region World Cup qualifier in San Jose on Friday.
Two early goals for a fired-up Costa Rica set the tone for a tough encounter and although the Americans sit in second place in the six-team qualifying group behind the hosts, the result will be of concern to head coach Juergen Klinsmann.
"We knew they were going to come out that way and we gave away a careless corner and they scored from it," midfielder Landon Donovan told reporters.

Honduras deals host Mexico big blow in World Cup qualifier loss
Mexico suffered only their second ever qualifying defeat in the Azteca Stadium with a 2-1 loss to Honduras on Friday that increases the pressure on coach Jose Manuel de la Torre and leaves 'El Tri' with plenty of work to do to qualify for Brazil.
Costa Rica, who top the CONCACAF region standings, took a step towards booking their place at next year's finals with an impressive 3-1 win over the United States while Panama were held to a goalless draw at home to Jamaica in the other game.
After seven rounds of matches, Costa Rica have 14 points, the United States 13, Honduras moved up to 10 points while Mexico are in fourth place, outside the automatic qualification slots on eight points in the final stage six-team group.

Jamaica Plays Panama to Scoreless Draw in World Cup Qualifying Match
Jamaica played Panama to a scoreless draw in World Cup qualifying on Friday night at the Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama City.
Panama outplayed the Reggae Boyz, putting two shots on goal out of 15 total, while Jamaica did not manage a single shot on goal.
But despite a significant time-of-possession advantage for Panama — 62 percent to Jamaica’s 38 percent, the Reggae Boyz managed to keep it even at 0.

Would you believe Dos A Cero?
Again?
Not only has the United States owned Mexico in World Cup qualifiers played at Columbus Crew Stadium, the USMNT always seems to win by the same magical score.
And 2013 would prove to be no different. Despite playing without Michael Bradley (ankle) and Jozy Altidore (yellow card accumulation), Jurgen Klinsmann's side shook off a sluggish first half to once again beat its rival 2-0 on goals from Eddie Johnson and Landon Donovan.

That Mex Vs Pan was a nice game, Mex looked mcuh better than they did in the last 2 yrs and to top it off with the bicycle goal was sublime. Still very impressed with Pan as well.

Panama is definitely a team to contend with going forward. Their youth program is stellar too. More competition for CONCACAF which is a good thing for the region.

Tim Howard's Beard was the only thing of interest in that match.

On a more positive note, I just know this Johansson fellah woulda score as soon as he pick up that pass from Boyd....emphatic, clinical finish!!!!
To his credit he didn't really celebrate, probably/possible conscious of what his goal had just done to the Panamanian people. Nevertheless, Johansson going Brasil for sure ;)
Yesterday was utter madness all over, this football is something else yes.
