Eve eyes Pan Am upsets
...as squad departs for Mexico
By Nigel Simon (Guardian).
Angus Eve, coach of the T&T under-23 football team which leaves today to compete at the 16th Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico is expecting a few upsets. Eve will lead an 18-man squad which departs from Piarco International Airport from 6 pm.
T&T received an invitation from the organisers as a replacement for Guatemala which was withdrawn by the country’s Olympic committee for non-compliance with protocol.
Panama and Honduras, which finished behind Guatemala and ahead of T&T in the final rankings of the Concacaf Under-20 Championship in April, declined invitations to fill the vacancy in the eight-team competition which kicks off on Wednesday until October 28.
T&T is in Group A along with Ecuador, Mexico and Uruguay and will face Uruguay in their opening game on October 19 on the artificial surface at the Estadio Omnilife.
Included in the T&T team are four players with senior Soca Warriors team experience in USA-based Kevin Molino, W Connection duo Joevin Jones and Shahdon Winchester as well as Caledonia AIA striker Jamal Gay.
The local squad will also be using the tournament as ideal preparations for the Caribbean Football Union 2012 Olympic qualifying final round in St Kitts/Nevis involving Cuba and Suriname from November 24 to 28.
Speaking prior to his team’s penultimate practice session at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya on Saturday night, Eve said: “We are hoping to create a few upsets in the group stage with the hope of reaching the semifinal.“Our preparations have not been great for this competition and all the other teams are expected to be better prepared than us but we are going there full of confidence.
Despite the limited preparations due to the late invite Eve, a former national midfielder and captain said going to the a prestigious tournament like the Pan American Games is a great asset to the team as it looks ahead to the CFU Second Round qualifiers for the London Olympics next year.
“We decided to accept the invite because it will provide us with much needed international matches away from home and with a chance to play some top teams. He added that tournament like this one would attract international football scouts.
Commenting on the team selected, Eve said he decided to carry the core of players who were involved in the CFU first round matches in Dominica because of the limited preparation time:
“There were a few other players like Jerrel Britto and Jomal Williams I wanted to include but they are not familiar with the system we have been playing as yet, so I expect that by the time the CFU tournament comes around at the end of next month they shall be ready.”
Despite the absence of US-based duo Sean De Silva and Uriah Bentick due to school commitments, said he expects a good showing from his team.
T&T Squad: Andre Marchan, Zane Coker, Sheldon Bateau, Mekeil Williams, Joevin Jones, Shahdon Winchester, Trevin Caesar, Aquil Selby, Leslie Joel Russell, Jamal Gay, Jayson Joseph, Marcus Joseph, Kevin Molino, Jeromie Williams, Kareem Moses, Kaydion Gabriel, Micah Lewis, Cameron Roget.

Final & Third place playoff
U-22 men's team off to Mexico for PanAm Games.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).
Trinidad and Tobago's Under 22 men's team will depart for Guadalajara, Mexico via Panama City on Monday evening at 6pm as they look ahead to their participation at the 2011 Pan American Games.
The T&T team, under head coach Angus Eve and manager Norris Ferguson, will use these matches as preparations for the CFU final round of qualification for the 2012 Olympic Games in November in St Kitts/Nevis.
Eve has been preparing for the team for several weeks since their 4-0 win over Dominica in the previous CFU round some weeks ago. T&T senior team assistant coach Hutson Charles will also travel with the team.
Eve said he looking forward to testing the team's readiness against the likes of Mexico. Ecuador and Uruguay.
"We came in on a late invitation and maybe the preparation may not be the best in terms of match fitness because we had been following a program towards next month's Olympic qualifies but we will use this tournament as preparation in itself for the qualifiers," Eve told TTFF Media following a session at the Marvin Lee Stadium on Sunday. The games in Guadalara will be played on an artificial surface.
"It's a tournament with great opposition and it's being played in the same format as our qualifiers. I don't think we would have otherwise faced such high level opposition before the Olympic qualifiers and in that sense I think this will serve us well," added the former national midfielder.
He added that the introduction of Orlando City midfielder Kevin Molino who is coming off back to back appearances for the senior team in World Cup qualifiers, Caledonia AIA striker Jamal Gay and W Connection defender Joevin Jones, should boost the team.
"Some of our players from the Colleges in the US are not going to be with us because it clashes with their academic schedule and we will want them for the tournament next month.
Guys like Uriah Bentick and Sean De Silva are out. We are also looking to add Khaleem Hyland, Jake Thomson and Robert Primus is still injured at the moment as well as Daneil Cyrus.
But the likes of Molino, Jamal Gay, who has been going well in the Pro League and Shahdon Winchester should hopefully be good cover for us," Eve added.
T&T are in Group A along with Ecuador, Mexico and Uruguay and will face Uruguay in their opening game on October 19 at the Estadio Omnilife They then face Mexico on October 21 and Ecuador two days later. Group B includes Brazil, Argentina, Cuba and Costa Rica.

There were a few other players like Jerrel Britto and Jomal Williams I wanted to include but they are not familiar with the system we have been playing as yet, so I expect that by the time the CFU tournament comes around at the end of next month they shall be ready.

Maybe yuh jes askin yuhself what system he torkin bout? ;D

lol yeah he kinda put he foot in he mouth dey .... itll be a good experience but I expect 4 -0 losses all through and eve saying it was a good experience for the boys.
Is a mentality yuh have to try and build .... my stats might be off here but I think it was 1992 european championships that Denmark came in as a replacement I think and won the whole thing or was it greece? Tallest feel free to correct me.
I dunno some bogey team came in and refuse to lie down .... Trini need this tournament to build some kinda backbone!!! We teams seem to be lacking that!
-
I don't see where Eve put he foot in mouth. The man say he hoping to score some upsets like the 67 PanAm team. Anyhow you take it win or lose, it better that they get the chance to be in the tournament. They lack preparation like the seniors. This tournament has lots of incentives. Also talent scouts going to be there. The part about Britto and Williams is no big deal. That is par for the course in anything TT. Who knows what the real reason is? I just glad these guys will get at least 3 tough games. That is what they need desperately.
Ngozi, yes it was Denmark who cause the upset in the Euro. They had a small man called Simonson. Very good player. It was a breadth of fresh air. They played a nice brand of counter attacking football and won. Cruff criticized their play, but that was all sour grapes. They deserved their victory.

Why you expecting 4-0 losses all through? Have some faith in your coach and your yuong fooballers, didnt most of these guys play under 20 world cup a couple years ago?

Yuh comparing losses now... ::) Did you even read the article? This is an underprepared team that received an invitation mere days before the tournament. And no, most of the players in this squad did not play in the 2009 Youth WC. Actually there are only 4 players from that world cup in this squad. Care to gloat about more of Jamaica's losses now? :loser:

This is the same age group, but its nowhere close to the full strength T&T team at this stage. We are missing key strikers,defenders, the #1 goalkeeper and at least 4 starting midfielders. We could probably assemble another 18 man squad and take them Guatelmala too.
For a lot of these players the only international experience they have is against Dominca, Curacao and Grenada. The good thing about this tournament is exposing them to top international competition, giving the coach experience and getting ready for qualifiers, as our preparations have been badly interrupted. Even if we loose every game its still a total win-win situation for us

Anyone able to get these games taped and posted> Would be much appreciated.

I guess we can say Adams don't understand the system (what system, I don't know) because he too was not chosen......an answer was needed because a question was asked, by now we have to learn to deal with the decisions that are made by people who have been delegated authority but at the end of it all they don't have the final say......I'm singing the song Somebody bigger than you and I....

I cyah believe the keeper get beat on that goal though. Say what. Keeping is one of the areas in women's soccer that needs vast improvement. A goalscorer, a keeper and a midfielder could take you far in women's football.

Mex had the better of the exchange and could have won. But our team is a far cry from the teams of the past that used to collect 6. Congrats Princesses. You made my night shift bright. God Bless!!!!
-
Congrats to the female Warriors! :beermug:
-
Mex have the better of the exchang and could have won. But our team is a far cry from the teams of the past that used to collect 6.
Mexico were better technically. Dey had more possession, and more composure on de ball. But ah would have tuh say dat de Princesses showed rell hustle, and kept running hard whole game. If we had better ball movement we coulda poison dem on de counter attack. Our team appeared fitter and faster.
Mexico is currently ranked 22nd, and we are ranked 48th.

Once Maylee could remain injury free she is a player to reckon with!! Congrats Princesses. The actually looking like they have an attacking and defensive shape....something lacking in local football. Good coaching. :beermug:

FT 1-1. Should really have been T&T2-Mex1 with dat legit goal we scored that was ruled offside. Had a few close calls at de end, but good performance Princesses. Our right winger (#12) have speed for days and Maylee ran her heart out.

Edit: that mexico team have some good ballers on it too, i see alot of faces from the WC that just finish

Mirabel is a very good player. I saw her play in this year's WWC. The Mex women like their men are fantastic at ball possession. I wish all our teams can develop that kind cultural habit(I am not sure I using the right analogy). But our girls are more direct and most of them can handle ball well. They are fast. If they have better ball control, I can see they doing some damage. The RB for TT that cause the penal, almost broke her own ankle when she tackle a player in the 2nd half. When they showed the replay, I swore it was stretcher time. But miraculously she was able to walk it out.
One of forwards tried a spin move by the corner flag. It did not pan out, but was A for effort. Then the diving header in the dying moments. How these girls lose to Dom. Rep. earlier this year is beyond me. I am pleasantly surprised. If they beat Chile, they probably will make the 2nd round.

The 2nd T&T goal which was disallowed was definitely not offside!! >:(
Plus I find the penalty that was awarded to Mexico was very soft!
-
Who was the ref,she definitely helped out Mexico. ???
-
Two ridiculous calls against TnT. The offside call was atrocious....no questioning that. The striker was not in an offside position when the ball was kicked. I thin k a lot of referee's assistants does get tied up at look when players receive the ball vs the moment it was played forward. The penalty was a joke too...like butter in de sun...real sorf. Say what....the girls did well!
-
T&T goal vs Mexico was brilliant, great effort off the wing and boss touch by the goal-scorer. The women are restoring honour in our game.
-
If the girls keep improving as they are doing then we may still feel some comfort and pride in our football nationally.
-
So what do these results really mean? Are we on par with Mexico? Seems like we get teif. How does Mexico match up with the US?

Well done ladies :applause:

Mexico are ranked 3rd in Concacaf , placed second in last year gold cup , and have beaten the United states in the semifinal of that tornament. And qualified for 2 world cups (second tournament being this year own). So yeh Mexico is a very strong team. Alot of development work went into their women football program in the last few years. (And imported US players)
T&T is ranked 5th in Concacaf.

Thanks D. This is some really exciting stuff man. Well leh we win the tourney then. :)

Now watch the Cuba - Brazil mens game. Cuba could handle they stories.
Had a lil incident at the end that see one man sent off form both teams, but an entertaining match.
The best part for me: Cuba celebrate a 0-0 group match like they win the gold. Brazil might not be Brazil anymore, but you could still stamp yuh book when yuh do something against them.

Normally, our long-ball thing seems aimless. But the forwards are clearly faster than the Mexican defense, so a long ball isn't a lost cause.
It's the misplaced mid-length balls that I have problems with, you already defending deep in your half if you keep giving away the ball there, you'll get punished...
Like now for instance...
-
That was the first time the team really got lazy and they were punished.
-
DAMN!!! Mex Score!!! Come fellas fight back...Allyuh could beat dis team!!
-
Only a matter of time till they had score we playing like we fraid... 1-1

Wayyyy Nice thanks for the links fellas :beermug:

Mexico next goal looking like only a matter of time.
They hit the frame 3 times now, we can't get out of the half.

d long ball up to Gay not even coming close to being on target and Gay himself not all that good at timing the ball and bring it under control.

Mexico started closing down the ball, not giving us time to operate. As soon as they realize they could do that, is a full-court press for the rest of the half. Since we can't get out of the half, they could afford to throw more men forward, which puts pressure on the D, which makes them make hurried clearances, which makes us lose the ball... the viscous cycle continues.
What we need is for Gay to collect and hold the ball. Right now the game is playing on 1/2 the field. They have 73% possession.
-
keep in mind the level of prep we coming here with!
we have the talent in winchester, molino and hyland but outside the paul/desilva combo they have not been organized or gelled together.
the fella who do the work on the left flank is micah lewis. a lot of talent but not selected often

Mexico needs to win this game. There will be counterattacking opportunities, but we can't let them just walk it into our half before they even see a token challenge.

I doh know if that was celebration like we win something. It seemed more like defiance for getting a point in the lion's den. After all, most people would have picked us to lose by 3 or 4 easily.

My thoughts exactly! Many on this forum look purely at the score and not the standard of play. When was the last time did you Trinidad dictate play against any decent international side. To win or draw we have to defend for we life and hope for some luck. It the same way sides like Bermuda could beat us.
-

4 real... Is Chubby self pop in muh mind when I saw Jeromie.

Mexico was wayyyyyyy better than us and to me coming out with a draw against a team so much better is reason to celebtate. We were lucky not to losr 4-1 bec they hit the post 3 times. A point is a point and we'll take it.
Angus Eve deserve credit for his tactics today.

I don't thiiink anyone on d forum could look at that game and say the standard of play was good. How can it be when we producing average talent> That's y ppl rejoice when we win or even draw regardless of the standard. T&T have not been and won't be dominating anything as long as our admin remains the same and or until we produce anove average talent.
-
I would celebrate if is a world cup qualifier or the gold cup. What counts most here is to gauge player and team development. Yes the point earned is commendable on the face of it but the bigger picture is of greater significance.
-
i will take that draw yes, FU! mexico. On to d next game
-
allyuh men love to nitpick boy! here we are after a big disruption in preparations, with a last minute invite to a BIG tournament. we play mexico AT HOME without daniel cyrus, uriah bentick, robert primus, leston paul, sean desilva, khaleem hyland, jake thompson, arguably the BEST players at this level. the seniors could barely beat bermuda, big men running scared of guyana and allyuh don't see this as reason for them lil fellas to celebrate? steups
-
Fellas should celebrate - they fought bravely. But what does this game tell about our state of our football? The gap is closing? I say no! I prefer to see good play and loose 3 nil in a game like this. I long for the day to see our footballers actually string 8 or 9 passes consistently in a game. Right now our results against decent opposition depends on much luck and hope opposition have an off day. Hate to admit it but Jamaica shape much better than us for the last few years and can actually put decent teams under sustained pressure.

Breds this core team beat Jamaica every single time they played them since U-17, including beating them in Jamaica to qualify for 2007 World Cup . This is the most successful team we have ever had, but they are not even the most talented squad in the last 5 years. Is hard work and a little care from the federation put them here. The only thing missing from that equation now is the attention of the federation.
If people really wanted to see good results they would pay a lot more attention to youth football. I does harp on this until I'm blue in the face. Watch what we have coming up in U-17 football in Trinidad, a real golden generation, a crop of some real strong players, who should be the target of enhanced training and peer group competition. But they getting NOTHING from this federation. Then in about a year or two time men will come and talk about how we players can't string passes together, they shitty, etc.
People talk about 'gap' opening and closing like is some kind of magic portal. Its we the footballing community who open the gap by sheer force of will and committment. And its we who let it close on us when we lazy. It doh open and close itself.
By the time men seeing a T&T side consistently getting licks against good opposotion, there is no more point complaining, the window of opprtunity done pass years ago.
I will continue to celebrate this side win loose or draw because they stand for what happens when we do things right from the beginning.
-
Yeah, good post Zando, it's amazing eh, most TT football fans aware of the fact that with a proper admin and structured approach to the game at all levels, coupled with an improved domestic league that has some type of community/financial model; we would grow as a football nation. I think we just forget that our effort in all of the above areas is half assed at best and as such strongly influences our results. We all know, but I would like to think the patriotism blinds us temporarily at these types of moments.

Gay frightening de crap out of de Mexicans as a fast powerful solo striker on de counter attack
Defenders scrambling like dey life on de line to keep de ball out.
Molino telling his taco-eatin' opponent to HYMC
T&T holds on to de draw with 80,000 screaming deafening noise
Yes we struggled in midfield but .... Wow! Dah was a new achievement in Mexico with little time to prepare. The Pro:League is helping in many little subtle ways.

Lyrics to make a politician cringe!! ... bring it brotha zando!!
not trying to be dramatic or anything. but as discussed previously the US already done graduate their U-15 group and start a 32 player U-17 residency program. we have up and coming talent like Woo Ling, Duane Muckette, Akeen Garcia, young Rougier and a few others and the best opportunity they getting is intercol. when the U.S. bury we ass in about two years men go be shocked and bemoaning lack of pride in the rbw. as if pride could substitute for preparation.

T&T holds on to de draw with 80,000 screaming deafening noise
BTW dreamer, the stadium capacity is 45,000. Seeing that it was a late invite and playing Mex. at home, a 1-1 tie is good. But we all know that our guys could have lost the game. It is ironic that I, being no friend of the current admin., was glad that they took the late invite to the Panam games. I think Panam and CAC games are important. Most men here don't feel so. I did not see the game, but from what I decipher, is that Mex. expose we big time. That is good. It shows them guys that they eh all that. They have to work on all aspect of their game. It appears that they picked up something from the ladies from yesterday. If they fighting spirit like the Princesses, then I okay with that....for now. Remember This tournament was supposed to be "practice/friendly" for the Olimpics. But if we win one of the remaining games, is a different ball game.
-
I missed the game but to draw with Mexico in Mexico is big and even if we didn't play well, the result can give the team some confidence by lifting their spirits. As for fat boy, when I watched the video a couple days ago of the team arriving in Mexico, I noticed a fat fella, I say tuh myself dat man hadda be on de technical staff, is no way in hell he could be a player on de squad...now I'm hearing he was running out against Mexico ???
-
WTF!!Yuh mean to tell me that people complaining bout this result,apart from Brazil,England and Argentina any other team in the world would be happy with this result.We are obviously not in the same class as the Mexicans as most of their squad are pros and the liklihood is that all their starting 11 are all pros.Our senior team couldn't beat Bermuda coz they defended like their lives depended on it,at least appreciate the fight the boys put up for a point,records will look better than a loss.

From ttffonline.com
By:Shaun Fuentes
NOW T&T MEN HOLD ON TO MEXICO
Thursday it was the Women and Friday it was Men’s time to put on another praiseworthy display as they held Mexico to a 1-1 draw before a partisan home crowd at the Omnilife Stadium, Guadalajara.
Praiseworthy not based on the fact that the hosts hit the woodwork three times as skipper Sheldon Bateau and his teammates braced the Mexican wave but because they defied the odds to earn a valuable point against a CONCACAF giant on their home soil on an evening when naturally the neutral fan would have expected T&T to be licking its wounds at the end.
Jamal Gay stunned the hosts and silenced the fans when he clinically side footed home from close range after Micah Lewis blew past his man before squaring for the lurking striker in the 12th minute.
“I thought it was a really good result for us tonight. We came here against the host team who were obvious favourites and we defied the odds by holding them to a draw,” Angus Eve told TTFF Media after the match.
“It was a remarkable effort by the guys. We played to plan, we maintained our disciplined and we held them off because they came at us with everything in search of a winner because it was important for them to win this match.
"I saw this as a very valuable experience for the players because it was a hostile atmosphere in the stadium but we were never intimidated. We kept our focus throughout the match and I thought we competed well which is some of the things I was looking to see us accomplish here in preparation for the Olympic qualifiers"
Goalscorer Gay added : “We knew we had to start well if we were to be in with a chance of a good result tonight. Everyone knows that Mexico is a dangerous team and they can dominate you if they get on top early. They came at us but we also withstood their pressure well. I’m really proud of our effort and hopefully we can carry on from here for the remaining games. Scoring so early against Mexico was a feeling that any striker would want to experience and I felt that tonight. “
Defender Joel Russell mentioned that Eve helped the players to mentally prepare for the battle at hand.
“Coach Angus helped motivate us He made us believe in ourselves and believe that we could do it,” said Russell.
“I thought the key factor was working for each other. We were not afraid to play and we did our homework on the Mexican team.”
T&T began the affair like a team on a mission and certainly far from overawed by the occasion. On 24 seconds, number ten Kevin Molino, evidently outstanding for Eve's men during the 94 minutes, had a crack at goal which went over bar. Seven minutes later the T&T senior team and Orlando City midfielder laid one off for Sheldon Bateau and he drove one wide of the upright from 25 metres out.
But the Mexicans soon got into their own and they rattled the T&T crossbar when Oribe Peralta’s header seemed to be goal bound on ten minutes. Peralta and fellow forward Iganacio Aquino were at the heart of every Mexican attack and was handful for the T&T defense but Russell and company battled everything that came at them.
T&T’s goal arrived when the confident Molino turned and precisely laid one off for Lewis on the left and the Caledonia AIA player slipped past his man before cutting back for Gay to nail home with his right foot.
Mexico appeared shell shocked but they never panicked even though it took them a further ten minutes before they threatened the T&T goal. Then on 23 minutes,Peralta found himself with loads of space on the right of the box and got past the advancing goalkeeper Andre Marchan before banging his low shot off the near post.
Then a slow reaction by one of the T&T defenders allowed Mexico to recover an attack on the right of the box and Aquino picked out Peralta who did the rest, turning and perfectly directing a left footer into the left corner of the net to send the fans into a frenzy on the half hour mark.
Mexican Isaac Brizuela forced Marchan into action in the 34th minute and a late first half assault in search of the go ahead goal forced the T&T back line to keep dropping off. Seven minutes before the break T&T survived a scare when Peralta again got his head to a cross from the right but the ball bounced off the crossbar and back into play.
As the second half progressed, T&T kept the Mexicans at bay for the opening 15 minutes, allowing nothing to go astray while also doing more to take the game into the Mexican final third. Molino controlled most of T&T’s play. Gay was pressuring high most times and on one instance, almost punished the hosts when he won possession and headed goalwards but shot wide under pressure from his man.
Marchan came up big to deny Arturo Amione in the 73rd and moments later Bateau decided to try his luck from long range but to no avail.
But Mexico kept coming. Ten minutes from the end, Marchan was called upon again, this time doing well to block Roberto Bocanegra’s effort. Gay had to leave the field due to a head injury after a clash of heads and was replaced by Trevin Caesar.
T&T did not go into panic mode in the closing moments as Mexico threw everything in search of the go ahead goal. When the final whistle went, the reaction from the T&T contingent was one of satisfaction for having held the hosts from running away with a result. The fans jeered at the end as they came expecting nothing less than a convincing victory from their boys. Not much to celebrate for them in the end but they still managed to sing merrily in Mexican style in huge numbers as they exited the Stadium, perhaps celebrating in the spirit of the Pan American Games thus far.

Again, as with the head coach of the women's team, Richard Hood, TTFF wanted to remove Angus Eve from the helm of the men's team just a few weeks ago. My advice is that Eve was actually informed in a meeting that he HAD been removed and replaced by Hutson Charles. In one of his last deeds as TTFF technical adviser, Keith Look Loy, who was not invited to this meeting, condemned the move in a message to Richard Groden, and Eve refused to be sent to the Under 20 team. In the end - everybody in TTFF scurrried to distance themselves from the decision and now will hurry to associate with this result. Congrats to the team, Eve and the rest of the staff...
-
Angus has been doing great work with this team so far. Very important job to be U-23 or u-20 coach as they are responsible for grooming players for Senior side... I would hope that he and Pfister are on the same page...talent never the problem as this result again proves but administration of the sport is and always will be poor, general problem in T an T decades now - lack of ACCOUNTABILITY and TRANSPARENCY...sport and football is certainly not excluded
-
Dreamer said it best with his points. My concern was the inability to keep the ball, but the defence was great and they were not afraid to attack with speed. There is hope for the future.
-
Fellas should celebrate - they fought bravely. But what does this game tell about our state of our football? The gap is closing? I say no! I prefer to see good play and loose 3 nil in a game like this. I long for the day to see our footballers actually string 8 or 9 passes consistently in a game. Right now our results against decent opposition depends on much luck and hope opposition have an off day. Hate to admit it but Jamaica shape much better than us for the last few years and can actually put decent teams under sustained pressure.
Breds this core team beat Jamaica every single time they played them since U-17, including beating them in Jamaica to qualify for 2007 World Cup . This is the most successful team we have ever had, but they are not even the most talented squad in the last 5 years. Is hard work and a little care from the federation put them here. The only thing missing from that equation now is the attention of the federation.
If people really wanted to see good results they would pay a lot more attention to youth football. I does harp on this until I'm blue in the face. Watch what we have coming up in U-17 football in Trinidad, a real golden generation, a crop of some real strong players, who should be the target of enhanced training and peer group competition. But they getting NOTHING from this federation. Then in about a year or two time men will come and talk about how we players can't string passes together, they shitty, etc.
People talk about 'gap' opening and closing like is some kind of magic portal. Its we the footballing community who open the gap by sheer force of will and committment. And its we who let it close on us when we lazy. It doh open and close itself.
By the time men seeing a T&T side consistently getting licks against good opposotion, there is no more point complaining, the window of opprtunity done pass years ago.
I will continue to celebrate this side win loose or draw because they stand for what happens when we do things right from the beginning.
The ultimate goal of any country's football programme is to produce teams that can consistently contend and qualify for places in the world cup. There's no doubt that this team has been very successful in the past and has a few sparkling talents but I feel that they have not developed as a team as I had hoped - no fault of theirs. I agree that the money and focus of our programme needs to be expended on youth development and that the TTFF must accept most blame for the very inconsistent results we have been having. Let's see in the Olympic Qualifiers, when all teams are at their best, if we still beat the teams that we did in the younger age groups.I hope we do! I love T&T football and would watch them play on TV over Manu, Barca etc. but what would have been the comments if the score was 4-1, as it easily could have been on another day. I have commented in the past and I have noticed this a lot with posters in this forum, you only look at the result to determine how well our team plays.
-
hate when we celebrate draws...whats the point..?
U serious?
An underprepared team coming up against the host nation??
Some people does just hate.........wheeeeeyyyyyyyy sah!!
We senior team just lose to Bermuda and frighten to play Guyana in a home and away match and u want to fight down these youths?
You does know who is de secret agent Jamaicans on this forum!
-
Regardless of the standard of the performance or whether we were lucky or whether we were on the back foot for the majority of the game...
Anyone who can look at this result and not feel at least some degree of satisfaction really needs to take a long, hard look at themselves as so called fans of T&T football.
I does wonder about some ah allyuh expectations.

Angus Eve himself was on radio discussing this. At that point, he was hearing talk of his removal but nothing concrete....then they pick him up to carry the team to the Pan Am games.....
As for the game I didn't watch it but was happy with the score line when I heard of it....ah draw with Mexico on any level is good news.....
-
CONGRATS to the team AND Angus Eve!!! A draw with MEXICO in and of itself is a decent result... to do it IN Mexico, with an under-strength and under-prepared team even MORESO!!! Lets remember that Mexico routinely qualifies for ALL World Cups at EVERY level, and has been WINNING them at youth level lately...I think some people here just like to COMPLAIN and CRITICIZE (which is their democratic right), but lighten up nuh, and let's rally behind this team... as someone mentioned earlier the CORE of this group have already participated in TWO consecuetive World Cups U-17 and U-20 so this is in may ways a "Golden Generation", ESPECIALLY if they can make it THREE in a row and again create history by becoming our FIRST EVER team to qualify for the Olympics!!!

fantastic results, by both the men and women!
This may be unprecedented at any level for T&T.
Whatever national team Mexico sends out, it is world class.
As I said in a post a few days ago about how T&T matches up against Mexico, both these 2 teams have proven my point even moreso.
Lets face it, there was a bit of luck involved, but as they say you make your own luck. On a different night, we might have lost 1-4, but thats not this time.
Fact is we went into mexico and drew, that is one of the best results I have ever seen a T&T team achieve. Perhaps more important than the 1 pt gained from this result, is the confidence from these players that they can actually get a result in Mexico, just like when the young T&T team drew with jamaica 2-2 a couple years ago in Kingston.
Congrats fellas, grow from strength to strength.

Tough, Tough. Don't know what the TTFF has in mind now for you ladies. That is the scary part. Good luck and God Bless.
Deeks not even team mgmt knows what is next. The team was brought in albeit last minute for training camp & considering the length of the camp the results were not bad. However in saying that the majority of the players are training regularly however having all senior players in one place at the same time for an extended period is always a plus in the big picture.
So what is next (the big picture??), no Olympic's? World Cup CFU's are still light years away. The squad needs to keep training regularly in order to improve however there is a cost to this (who pays). We have some very good youngsters in the program who are chomping at the bit to show coach Hood & Pelerudd that they are ready for the next level.
We need freindlies versus other Concacaf & Conmenbol countries in order to make the jump to the enxt level and be seen as a serious contender however Deeks has hit the nail on the head? What does the TFFF have in mind? Inquiring minds would like to know? ::)
Keep working hard ladies as we will get there.

Dont know about yall but i dont really rate Bateau. He doesnt really have technical ability, hes a average passer at best and he always taking shots from outside the box, but i havent seen him hit the target yet. He plays hard but thats about it. Id prefer to see him at CB but not in the midfield.

Men said it already, in the attacking 1/3 the decision making is poor. Midfield needs to assert themselves some more IMO, getting bounced off the ball to easily and giving the Ecaudoreans a little too much space. Whoever #11 is he needs to know that in the 6 yard box you don't trap in that scenario, strike de mudda c%@* ball!
Hard luck on the goal, great strike. Let's go Angus, light them up at half time, 45 mins to go

-
T&T are 3rd placed in Group A and Brazil are third placed in Group B. Both Brazil and T&T have 2 points from two draws. Both teams must win their third and final group game to take over second spot in their respective groups. The top two in each group will qualify for the next round (I think). The points standings look exactly the same for both groups at this time.
Group A mexico 4pts, Uru 3pts, T&T 2pts, Ecu 1pt
Group B Argentina 4 pts, CR 3pts, Brazil 2pts, Cuba 1pt

Just as we start to play like Brazil '70 ;D ::)
Is half time now.
We have to go all out in the 2nd half. A tie is as bad as a loss.
The only problem I see so far is that we resort to negative tactics once we go up, just like in the Mexico game. We look much better playing football, rather than just kicking it up the field.
So far, not much to separate the teams. I think we had the better chances. Stats say we have less shots though. 8-4 and less posession 45-55%

Winchester must have attitude problems because every time i see him play he looks positive but he hardly starts.
-
Why so much chages in the squad was it necessary...... y Gay and Ceasar not on the field .
-
Yeah man, Winchester is working very hard out there. He looks dangerous when in the box as well. We absolutely have to get that guy out to a decent club before long.
-

i was thinking the same thing

I was thinking maybe the coaches feel the other players work better with the game plan.
Idle speculation about attitude problems = :yellowcard:

boi urugay using dat left wing rell bad..
-

thing is Eve using this as a warm up for Olympic qualification... trying to develop a deep squad.
It difficult to balance as we start off doing good and gain a little more ambition as the tournament progress
EDIT: Caesar now come on for Drogba
and Gay on for Marcus Joseph

Very decent showing. The youths knockin better than the senior squad.

Hard luck dey fellas.
Good tournament. You represented us well. :applause: :applause: :applause:
Carry that "if only" feeling into the next tournament.
-
Very decent showing. The youths knockin better than the senior squad.
Agree 100%
-
So if the first team ketchin deh nenen to get friendlies, why they can't play matches against this team. The Olympic team will get better and maybe push the First team for spots. It would be better than playing India and Grenada or Barbados.
-
Very decent showing. The youths knockin better than the senior squad.
dey knocking good ball but dey need to drive shot frm top of the box when dey have the chance.. I saw 3 times dey could have let it fly in the second half... anyway di goal scored by TNT was boss....

People think that this team could beat Guyana but that is yutes against men that is totally different.Men will always beat boys but one or 2 should be given a chance with the senior team,Gay for example.
-
Well done young lads, looking forward to your progress
-
I watching the highlights of the Mens Handball final here. I eh go lie, Argentina and Brazil love to beat each other in any sport.

Gotta give Angus some credit. He did well with the same team that Vranes couldn't do nuttin with (or am I mistaken?). Proud of those kids, it will do wonders for their confidence both as individuals and as a team. :applause:
-
Tremendous effort from the players and staff. With a full strength team we would have beaten the pants off Uraguay. Molino and Gay stood out for me. Glenroy Samuel will have to work real hard to regain #1 goalkeeper spot from Andre Marchan. With Hyland, De Silva and Paul in the mid opposition tactics should break down faster in the middle of the park and T&T should be moving more fluidly top the box. Gay seems to be a player in the mould of KJ who will benefit greatly from good service and form a good partnership with a nippy forward to lay off to. Caesar, Britto, Cordell Cato, Yohan Peltier or Garvin Samaroo come to mind. Jake Thompson as wide option will definitely improve service.
Add in Primus, Bentick and Cyrus as CB options, Adams, Jevon Morris and Curtis Gonzales as WBs, Rochford as a holding mid or right wing and we have a stellar squad with depth in every department.

Good stuff!!
I thought the keeper could have done better on the goal, an early step across and he wouldve got there.
Congrats fellas.

Angus Eve, his staff and the players have all done a very good job in Guadalajara, but let's not get carried away. These South American teams are Under 20s, by and large, so we need to temper our response and not begin seeing ourselves automatically qualifying for London 2012 and beyond. We also need to be careful in comparing coaches. Vranes did not coach this Under 23 team in competition. He had the Under 20 team, which failed in Guatemala in CONCACAF qualifying for Colombia 2011, and was replaced as Under 23 coach by his assistant, Eve. Let's not forget that Vranes helped to write our country's football history by taking an Under 20 team to Egypt 2009. Finally, let's also remember that Jamaica finished second at the Brasil Pan-American Games of 2009. I do not know how many members of that Jamaican team are now in their country's senior squad but it will be interesting to watch the progress of our Gaudalajara generation.

All valid points. I agree with you for the most part.
Taking that into consideration, maybe these are the types of results we need to instill confidence as a group. Most times we go to these tournaments, get we licks and come home. So I agree, we shouldn't get carried away but give credit where credit is due and Angus deserves some credit. Additionally, this team didn't have much preparations so I think it was definitely a worthwhile investment.

You can see the ages of the players on the website... Uruguay by and large was the same age as our players... they even had a man born in 86 on de team.
In any case, I know these countries don't really rate the panamerican games as important as some other regional tournaments

I don't think anybody is expecting automatic qualification for the Olympics, but its looking better than the senior's chances for Brazil. As far as tempering expectations, most of us know the record of this team in its various incarnations and they have twice done us proud. As far as I am concerned all we require is for them to play at their very best. Even if we don't qualify then the hell with the Olympics. A lot of these guys only experience prior to this is playing Grenada, Dominica and Curacao, so playing Mexico, Uraguay and Equador as well as top Caribbean competition is an excellent start to international competition that will serve us well regardless of the Olympics.
Now they can start to fall in with the seniors, and the TTFF can/should start do its job and begin U-15, U-17 and U-20 screening ASAP
-
Actually, most of the players who represented TNT in South Korea 2007 (Under 17) and Egypt 2009 (Under 20) haven't made it into this team for one reason or another, but I hear you. I believe Eve needs to revisit these guys as one cannot discount that kind of experience. Now, if the TTFF would only get itself together, but if wishes were horses, etc, etc...
-
This team just making me sad :(
because they making me think about all de wasted generations that come and gone...
look what half a program could do...
I remember that team what Ron La Forest coach :frustrated:
also... can we really discount de role that de Pro league playing in dese guys development?

The linesman in this Mexico - Bazil women's semi want to have a riot on she hands. Call back the Mexican equalizer for offside.
Good call.

Congrats to our team on a great tournament.
I know I am being a killjoy, but I really hope the TTFF doh find ah a way to miss this golden opportunity to build a team for 2018. I REALLY hope so.
Or it goh be the same song and dance again and there will be same conversations on this board.

Without seeing any video clips or reading the previous posts, I say hats off to the team.

As Warmonga said, they should not have given the Uruguayan player so much time to line up his shot. They will have to work on the defensive part of their game.
-
Gotta give Angus some credit. He did well with the same team that Vranes couldn't do nuttin with (or am I mistaken?). Proud of those kids, it will do wonders for their confidence both as individuals and as a team. :applause:
Yes your are mistaken. Angus running on Vranes work right now. No offense.
-
I'll tell you this much I haven't seen a national team in a next team box as much as these fellas have been. I'm happy to see that. That speaks for fitness and confidence. The defense is still a little heart attack for me. :applause: Good tourney lads. Yuh ain't loose.
-
Actually is the defence that kept us in all the games. We had flashes of brilliance in all 3 games, but all 3 teams had better ball control, movement and possesion. Yes, our guys had good counter acts at times but those were not enough to keep those teams off balance. The problem I have with our team is composure when they had the ball. The 2 wing backs especially made bad passes and was vooming the ball a lot. At times they could have control and tried shorter passes, but when you on the field is a different matter. The Uruguay goal appeared soft, but that ball skipped off the turf, plus the GK was kind of outa position. But he made some grand saves to keep us in the game.
Good effort. This was a good experience for them. Now back to the TTFF.
-
Excellent tourney guys. Nuff respect Angus. Ah hear the boys singing your praises. Ah have a feeling you are the real deal as far as potential for greatness in coaching.
Thanks for the effort
-
Well done boys!!! Three quality oppositions and three good results, use this experience to build forward from here.
On another note, I was watching Sports Nation last night on espn. They usually have a segment called "3 Jeers" meaning like bloopers and our very own Caesar was number 1 with in missed kick/half volley at a cross in the last game ;D
-
Canada women beat Brazil on pks for the gold. Mexico beat Colombia for Bronze.
-
I now see the penalty kicks in that women's final.
Check the Canadian keeper's movement on the kick, She save that last one standing up.
