MIRACLE AT ARG
God loves everyone, despite the local saying that God is a Trini.
On Tuesday night, Trinidad and Tobago's senior national football team joint head coach Hutson Charles looked to God, expecting a miracle.
"We need ah miracle. We hoping that Haiti win the thing outright, so that it will not go down to goal-difference. We hoping that Haiti come out and play the football that they can play and win this group."
Just under two hours later, Charles and his footballers were celebrating Haiti's 1-0 triumph over the hosts Antigua-Barbuda, as if T&T had won the Caribbean Cup themselves.
T&T's 2-1 win over the Dominican Republic coupled with the Haiti result, qualified Trinidad and Tobago (four points) for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and also put them through to the semi-finals of this tournament as Group A runners-up to Haiti (seven points).

I was wondering the same thing... Maybe that's why we were outright attacking the last 10 mins of the DR game instead of just trying to hold on."We need ah miracle.

We hoping that Haiti come out and play the football that they can play and win this group."It wouldn't have come down to goal difference...how does he not know this?

It is extremely important that T&T gets into every Caribbean Cup final 4. Playing in every GC should be viewed as an essential part of the International Development model. Simply because this competition is a Tournament format & allows for a series of international games against opposition that will always be part of WCQ.
Congratulations on Step 1.
Observer, this is a decent team and good defensively. I want tos ee Seon Powers against the USA and Mexico....I think he has it in him, despite being stood up yesterday for the Martinique goal.

No convinced that you could instantly fill a team with foreign based players and expect a magical performance. We need the preparation; we need the quality players and we need the quality coaching.
I say fa..k to those players who on the advise of father, mother brother , mother aunty uncle or whomever trying to make up they mind on if they go play for we. Remember is bigger than the TTFF; yuh eh playing for them yuh playing for a nation , a people who care deeply about football, about national pride nd about what we are capable of doing. In my humble opinion.

Anyone could shed some light on how the draw is decided and what the possible groupings may look like?Most likely the L.A., Texas, and maybe Kansas City Venues. Hopefully we'll get one down my way like Nashville, but they usually keep it in the west and then have the Championship in the Rose Bowl Stadium (70,000 + capacity)

February -March: Any thoughts to setting up some camps abroad ( U.K.- Yorke, Latapy, Lawerence to conduct camps & U.S.A.- Hart, Phillips Haynes to conduct camps) and invite as many potential eligible players who qualify to represent TnT? cheaper to send some coaches ( oops one coach may not be able to travel) than to bring down all the players. Have guest coaches conduct these clinics. Arrange Friendlies with MLS pro league teams/ USFL teams etc.
April-May From these camps identify the best possible talent, then set up a series of camps in TnT ( one in Chagaramus- make it like an army compound- stress discipline and we going to do battle- ooops one coach may not be permitted to enter that camp).
The initial local camps under the tutelage of guest coaches like : Fenwick, Stuart Charles.
Then by May/June you up the series of international friendlies and intense training with the team coaches.
Just my humble opinion for those who should be planning.
P.S. Once the venues for the tournament has been finalized, I am planning on attending; anyone else planning on going?

Canada names Miller interim head coach.
Concacaf.com.
OTTAWA - The Canadian Soccer Association announced Monday that Colin Miller has been appointed as its men's national team head coach on an interim basis for the January camp and matches.
The appointment will see Miller lead the Canadian side into its first camp of 2013, set to run January 19-30 in the United States, during which the team will face Denmark (January 26) and the U.S. (January 29) in a pair of friendly internationals.
"It has always been a privilege to represent Canada, as a player, team captain and coach, and I look forward to taking on the role of interim head coach for a second time," said Miller. "I am honored to have been selected by the Canadian Soccer Association, and thank FC Edmonton's organization, particularly owner Tom Fath, for its support in this process."
The 48-year-old served as Canada's assistant coach at the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup and as interim head coach in 2003 and 2004. He has recently been named head coach of the North American Soccer League's FC Edmonton.
Miller, who played the majority of his professional career with Scotland's Hamilton Academical, also represented Canada as on the field, making his national level debut at 18-years-old.
He wore the Canadian colors on numerous occasions, notably at the 1986 FIFA World Cup finals in Mexico, three CONCACAF/FIFA World Cup Qualifiers (1990, 1992-93, 1998) and three CONCACAF Gold Cups (1991, 1993, 1996). On October 13, 1996, he became the eighth footballer to reach 50 caps for Canada and was inducted to The Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame (Canada) in 2005.
Meanwhile, The Canadian Soccer Association announced on Thursday that its men's national team will face Japan in a friendly on March 22 at the Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar.
The friendly will be Canada's third match of the 2013 season, following a pair of January fixtures against Denmark (January 26 in Tucson, Arizona) and the United States (January 29 in Houston, Texas).
The Canadians last squared off against Japan on May 31, 2001, at the FIFA Confederations Cup. The Japanese scored three second-half goals to win 3-0 in front of a crowd of 39,006 at the Niigata Stadium in Niigata, Japan.
The match will be part of Canada's continued preparations for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

By now you would think that our approach would show some serious intent and approach to the game. Accountability for success cyar be by flukes.
We spend more time bigging up la loga and this and that football form Europe and elsewhere rather than putting accountability standards and advocating downright for substantive change to how we do things. It may appear to be ad naseum but until we see these changes we must not let up on the powers to be.
The minister of Sport should also be accountable for the erosion of standards for national programs which represent our nation. To fund sub standard practices is condoning the continuing saga of malpractice and incompetence throughout the development and advancement of our football.

Chile just played Haiti in Chile, got them both a good look at their local-based players. Maybe one of those sides would play T&T on a non-FIFA date as well to look at their local players. I know I've said it before, but I can't imagine T&T letting Shabazz coach the team via Skype (or whatever way he would) at the Gold Cup.Friendly is not the issue. Anything is better than nothing.

Confederation's Premier National Team Tournament to Visit Eight New Venues and Six New Cities Expanding the Footprint of the Event across the United States
MIAMI -- CONCACAF announced Wednesday the 13 venues and host cities that will welcome the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup from July 7-28, 2013.
"We would like to thank all cities and venues in the United States for their interest in our Confederation's Gold Cup and congratulate the ones that have been selected to host its 2013 edition." said CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb. "CONCACAF is looking forward to a successful tournament, working in close partnership with both stadium and local authorities, while expanding the reach of our competition to a larger number of fans in more locations throughout the United States."
The region's premier National Team tournament will again expand its footprint by visiting eight new world-class venues in this year's edition: Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA; M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD; Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, CO; Rentschler Field in East Hartford, CT; BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston, TX; Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL; JELD-WEN Field in Portland, OR and Rio Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake City, UT. Six new Gold Cup cities are featured in this group of newcomers, including Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver, Hartford, Portland and Salt Lake City. Houston and Miami return to host the tournament, for the 5th and 9th time consecutive time, respectively.
The event will also return to five venues from its previous editions including Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX (2009, 2011); Soldier Field in Chicago, IL (2007, 2009, 2011); Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA (1991, 2002, 2011); Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ (2011) and CenturyLink Field in Seattle, WA (2005, 2009). Years in parenthesis denote Gold Cups at each venue.
With a mix of historic venues and brand new state of the art soccer facilities that average 57,000 spectators, the 2013 edition of the Gold Cup promises to provide fans both in stadium and at home with unforgettable atmospheres in world class venues. In 2011, the tournament drew more than 600,000 fans throughout 13 match-days, including nine sell-outs.
To date, eleven of the twelve participating national teams have qualified for this year's tournament. In alphabetical order: Belize, Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago and the United States. The final spot will be decided on Friday in the fifth-place match of the 2013 UNCAF Copa Centroamericana between Guatemala and Panama, which is being held in Costa Rica.
Taking place every two years, the Gold Cup has established itself as the region's most popular national team tournament, routinely drawing capacity crowds and millions of viewers across the region. Featuring the best players from the confederation, the tournament includes the top 12-nations in the region.

Massive victory for Belize today in the UNCAF Cup over Nicaragua. Costa Rica and Guatemala are playing right now and any result other than a Guatemala win will see Belize qualify for their first Gold Cup. If Guatemala win Belize could still qualify if they beat Panama in the playoff.
EDIT: Belize are through
Belize lost to the Salvadorans in the third place match less than 12 hours ago. Mostly a game of one-way traffic. The UNCAF analyst says Belize played a 3-2-3-2 whereas El Salvador went with a 4-4-2.

T&T Express Reports.
CONCACAF have announced that they are exploring a number of measures designed to combat match-fixing and corruption in football.
The governing body for football in the Americas and the Caribbean has released a statement saying it's in the process of identifying measures on a case-by-case basis following a workshop which ended in New York Friday.
CONCACAF says it's also examining a number of preventive steps in the form of courses and training programmes as well as specific legislation.
"Match manipulation in football must be tackled in the strongest possible way and we are glad that CONCACAF is taking a proactive approach on this subject," said Serge Dumortier, Senior Security Manager at FIFA.
"We must take all the steps necessary to safeguard the integrity of our sport."
More than 30 delegates from football, government and law enforcement in Canada and the United States attended the workshop co-hosted by CONCACAF and organized by INTERPOL and FIFA.
The two-day Integrity in Sport workshop examined a range of topics including the betting industry, match-fixing threats, governance, education and prevention.
"This workshop has the goal to raise awareness of the key contemporary match-fixing issues and threats in football, and to identify good practice and areas for development," said Shawn Bray, Head of the US National Central Bureau in Washington.
"The goal is to bring together players, referees, coaches, sports associations, betting regulators and law enforcement to improve individuals' awareness and understanding of corruption in football".
Officials say match fixing has become a global matter affecting every sport on the planet and that football is now a high target for unlawful business deals.
Presentations were made by INTERPOL, FIFA and Early Warning System, a company established to monitor matches and to safeguard the integrity of football.
"The football family must certainly be an intrinsic part of the battle against match fixing through education, surveillance and sanction," said CONCACAF General Secretary, Enrique Sanz.
"However, we mustn't forget to work in partnership with all other affected sports, governments, media, fans and society as a whole".
A similar workshop for the confederation's Caribbean members will take in Panama at their Congress in April.

there are people that will argue that central america ball "collectively" is a better standard than caribbean ball "collectively" then there is the big picture, CA teams will fill stadiums in the US, can u say the same for caribbean teams ???
Lefty, point taken. you correct to a point. The Caribbean teams can get big crowds but unlike the Central American, who are all over the place(11 million "illegal"), The WI population are mostly on the East Coast. If they put most of the games there we can match them. But they will play TT/US in in Tennesse or St. Louis. Now why must the US play Barbados, Greneda, Guyana on the East Coast. They can't try that with most CA teams, because like I said that all over the place. How many Haiti/US WC games you see in NY or Miami. Cuba in a none factor because of politics. PR and SD are now reviving their footbal, as you know football is not their "favorirte" sport. But that is changing.

This tournament with our very best available talent show show case to the world the ability we have to create and upset some of those teams who have booked their passage to Brazil.
Have the TTFF lost focus on this tournament? have we as fans gone silent on this front as well? How do we keep this important tournament on thE forefront to ensure that those in charge doh put we in the limelight and have we embarrass down the place?
QUESTIONS: Are there other players to consider adding to this pool of players/ are there some that should be omitted? for example those who have indicated a lack of desire to represent TnT? Shuld we consider teh quality of our coaching staff? Is it time to seriously consider have these coaches conduct guest coaching camps:
Terry Fenwick and his possible contributions to our coaching staff? maybe Stephan Hart in some capacity? and a Dennis Lawrence?
what would our team look like if we could have all these players available for the best selection:

is the TTFF that broke ? and is the level of government funding that non existent? Have ministers colluded and are conjunctive in their efforts to stifle the progress of our national program?
Is someone out o show that football cannot exist as they know it without their participation as an adviser? Is the present sports minister vying for that role as advisor to the TTFF?
Who is suffering by the apparent incompetence and the nickle and dime approach to excellence?

For the TTFF and the government: is it not worth the investment to have the very best players, coaches, and preparation available for this tournament?
Do you think hastily called friendlies with little preparations for a team is an effective way to select and to gauge players?
Why is Keon Daniel even being considered after his refusal to be available during the qualifying? What message are we sending to other players? is this how we reward those who answered the call and may or may not have received any compensation for the duty they provided? In my opinion Mr.Daniel does not deserve a call up. Especially since a public declaration was not given as to his refusal to answer the alleged request by the national team.
QUESTIONS: Are there other players to consider adding to this pool of players/ are there some that should be omitted? for example those who have indicated a lack of desire to represent TnT? Shuld we consider teh quality of our coaching staff? Is it time to seriously consider have these coaches conduct guest coaching camps:
Terry Fenwick and his possible contributions to our coaching staff? maybe Stephan Hart in some capacity? and a Dennis Lawrence?

To wit ... In Fuentes' article announcing the Belize game, I was struck by the mention of Leroy Sherrier Lewis as coach ... I thought hmmm, ok! ... Note: in the article in this thread posted by Eman, Charlie Slusher is the coach.
Quote
Elroy Smith summed it up best: “The coach is like a friend… He treats everybody on one level; he doesn’t try to feel like anybody is better than anybody else. He has a lot of discipline. A man like that is somebody that we always need around the team… I am 100% per cent with the man. To me, the coach is supposed to come back. He already started a process; he has to come back and maintain it. Because if another coach comes here, he will mess it up… This is a process that we have to maintain. We are already at a level right now with one coach; you bring a next coach, we will drop right back down to where we were. We are not here to go “backway”… If the President and the FFB want this thing to succeed, he has to come back.”

Quote
Leroy Sherrier Lewis:
“Este es el último día de mi trabajo con el equipo beliceño, creo que hemos hecho en dos meses un trabajo satisfactorio, trabajo serio y si la estructura de una liga no está acorde para sostener este programa, yo no puedo seguir. Así que hago públicamente que no continuaré más con Belice porque no hay garantía de que se va a mejorar, de que se va a trabajar en liga menor”, fueron las primeras palabras de Lewis en la conferencia de prensa.

So I ask the question: Could we put a price on success? Imagine TnT had the very best and talented players at the Gold Cup and we were to be in the final four and to achieve success over teams that are WC2014 bound, what might that do for our country and for our program?

There are some critical questions here that people are not addressing; why do we accept what is thrown our way? Why do we accept these friendlies as the norm of getting prepared? are we helpless and or hopeless in effecting change for a better more competent operated governing football body? Maybe it is just the Trini way ;you know the one that responds with " what we go do that is how things are"

COACH SHERRIER LEWIS’ RESIGNATION FINAL, CHARLIE HOLDING OVER
March 8, 2013
There were reports on the evening news yesterday, and at a press conference this morning at the Belize Biltmore Plaza Hotel in Belize City, Football Federation of Belize (FFB) President Ruperto Vicente made it official, confirming that he had received a letter of resignation from Mr. LeRoy Sherrier Lewis, who coached the Belize National Team to success at the Central American Cup in Costa Rica, where Belize secured a spot for the first time ever in the prestigious Gold Cup tournament to be held in 13 American cities in July of this year.
Optimistic fans were looking forward to another fine showing for the Belize National Team under the able guidance of coach Sherrier Lewis, who has won the hearts of Belizean players and fans on both occasions when he has coached our national team.
Back in 2001, coach Lewis and Belize had almost upset Guatemala in the Central American Cup, with Guatemala equalizing the game in injury time with a controversial penalty. Then FFB President Dr. Bertie Chimilio had rewarded Lewis’ performance by firing him after the tournament, ostensibly for Lewis’ criticisms of the officiating after the match.
Following the deposing of Chimilio in the FFB elections of March, 2012, and with the Central American Cup looming in January of this year, Lewis had contacted new FFB President Ruperto Vicente and offered his services to Belize. The rest is history. Sherrier Lewis took up the post as national team coach in early October of last year, and in January of this year at the Central American Cup in Costa Rica, Belize qualified to the Gold Cup.
But there was mischief at the Central American Cup in January of this year, and coach Lewis had then reportedly expressed his intention to step down from the coaching post, following the appearance of a letter attacking his character.
That had all been cleared up, according to the FFB president, and they were about to finalize the details of coach Lewis’ contract; indeed Vicente was waiting for Lewis at Love FM studios on Wednesday, when he received the surprising news.
Vicente said he immediately visited the coach, who confirmed the news, and informed Vicente that he had left a letter (in Spanish) at the Federation’s office addressed to him and explaining his decision.
In the letter, which, with Lewis’ approval, was provided to the media along with a translation, coach Sherrier Lewis said his decision was “for personal reasons,” citing the fact that he is “almost 70 years old,” and that he does “not have the strength, nor the motivation” to continue in the post of head coach. But, despite the diplomatic nature of his letter, coach Lewis did give some clues to some of his concerns that might have aided in his decision to step down and “return to my country and enjoy the rest of my life along with my loved ones.”
Sherrier Lewis, who had developed a very good relationship with president Vicente, advised the FFB president in his letter that “there must be some attention to the criteria of some of the National Team Committee members, who are …obstacles to the good work that you are accomplishing at the Football Federation;” and insinuated some ulterior motives of others when he lamented not being able to accompany Vicente to the draw in Chicago, saying that “… this is the price we must pay, we who work with honesty and seriousness.” And he warned Vicente that “…the struggle is going to be hard, to be able to bring about the changes necessary so that Belizean football can continue to grow.”
There is a tinge of sadness and regret in Sherrier Lewis’s letter, but no bitterness, as he gave advice to Vicente on the way forward, and begged him to “Greet all members of the football family of this beautiful country for me, and I beg them to continue supporting football in all its forms.” Indeed, his affection for Belize is evident as he said, “I want to make it clear that there are no offers of any jobs to me in any part of the world, and if one existed I would not take it, out of respect to this beautiful country…”
And in his parting shot, Coach Lewis thanked president Vicente “for your unconditional support on this my second time in this beautiful country. Don’t despair and together we achieved something important.”
For his part, the FFB President said he is left no choice but to move on, and continue the job of preparing the national team to meet its commitment at the Gold Cup in July. For the sake of continuity, on Mr. Lewis’s recommendation, assistant coach Charlie Slusher will be holding the head coach position. He will be assisted by Julio Santos and Kent Gabourel, while the Executive considers various applications from certified international coaches for the national coach job.

A player should be selected based on a few factors i.e athletic ability, game intelligence, speed and flexibility. Many of his players are lacking in two or more of these criteria.
Interestingly enough..we in Trinidad have players who have athletic ability, potential for speed, flexibility, but have serious problems with Game intelligence because we never knew how to prepare. As a result we have lots of players with potential who play an entire career without fulfillment..the player buries his frustrations in women,fete,drink,religion ..whatever..

Not because a man coaching in England ..getting up every day preparing sessions stipulated by the haed coach ..watching players who know what they supposed to do go thru their paces, mean he ready to take Trinidad National Team..
The man must prove and implement his own vision..the only way any coach can do that is to be a head coach.
Hutson Charles is a natural leader..a military man who understands leadership..he understands thru experience how to impart his vision..he's had extensive experience with Defence Force and with various levels of our National program..Hutson Charles all the way.
Post by: AB.Trini on March 10, 2013, 10:15:09 PM
In my humble opinion, I was beginning to feel a whole lot hopeful with the success that Mr.Charles was having with the team under his sole guidance. I think with the addition of ummmm the other coach, things are back to qualification by chance and the team does not appear to have the approach and cohesiveness as they had under Charles. Just my humble opinion.
I am still advocating for a three match- one game in south one in north one in Tobago. After those matches pick yuh best players and leh we start friendlies with that group.
Post by: fishs on March 11, 2013, 05:28:08 AM
I agree with AB Trini to some extent...leave out Stephen Hart..despite the fact he's a Benedict's man and a Sanfernando player..and spent a lifetime in coaching..he hasn't kept up with the latest trends of the game ..I don't know if his player resources are limited in Canada..but the quality of his players are below the current standard..and I measure a coach based on his ability to select players.

Players can be well prepared, because they will have all of June off. Now the locals will be playing in the League, hope
TTFF working now to secure a release agreement. I like AB Trini plan. pick 2 teams and play a series of games
then come down to a 22, for the International games. Shabazz could coach one team, Charles the other.

So yuh know Mr ANC2 I have de Puncheon right here next to de type writer.. help me out because I have in a few and I like to talk first and think later ..Two coaches.. coachin 2 teams independently ..what is the expected outcome.Tell me please?
First read my post on this site & then read yours and tell me who comes across as knowing everything. :-\
Second, how you get your type writer to work on the message board? Hope the carbon paper don't mess up your screen :D
To answer you, it make as much sense as two head coaches for one team. Who say anything about Independently, they are responsible for the program. The coaches in collaboration could put the teams together , training and play each other in a series of games. I recently watch Klinsman do the same thing in January with USA. It even looked
as though he matched up challenges, his better attackers against his best defending line.
TT has two squads at the moment, one was used in the Digicel & the other versus Peru. With the lack of funding for International games & preparation, thinking and planning has to be flexible and adaptive. Begin with approximately 30+ players, bringing the squad down to 22. TT needs to train together and this is the ideal opportunity, before the GC, and if we lucky International preparation games. You and everyone involved has to consider that the MLS, USL, NASL & local based players will not be available for a long preparation.2-3 days before the first & second FIFA date and then another 2-3 days before the third and fourth FIFA Date in June. Then 5- 7 days before the GC July.

I refuse to follow like a blind sheep for the sake of support. Until there is a REAL change in how business is conducted with the TTFF I am not chasing an elusive glory to shout ole TnT!!!!! Let me see solid thinking, preparation and a competitive team. I am not in the hip pocket of the TTFF or players who are out for self glory. The pangs of the defeat against Guyana still lingers on. Our players have to win back the fan support after the kaka they let down in qualifying- especially the likes of the members from the 2006 team who are invited back. Till then it is cautious optimism for me. Like I said before, I was beginning to be very encouraged by how H.Charles had them playing prior to the two coach system.

The players that have improved and are coming along nicely are :
C.Gonsalves - He's growing into the RB role nicely and his aggression and effort he puts in is always 100%... reminds me of Cyd Gray but he is 22/23 and has time on his side to become a top player....also he can play a few positions including CM
C.Mitchell - Still a bit raw and gets caught out a bit too easily but he's grown into a fine CB with game time and that brings the obvious maturity and leadership we see from him today . His passing game is also impressive and seems very composed on the ball
D.Cyrus- Cyrus is a CB..plain and simple..its where his game suits his style best, tall aggressive great header of the ball.. he reads the game well from the central position and like Mitchell seems to be getting composure and maturity. Definitely one for the future..hope he gets a foreign contract and get out of the pro league.
J.Jones- Jones could be the brightest prospect along with Molino we have had for a while. Technically very good he can also play multiple positions . I think Left Back is his natural position and with better players around him he can be able to be the modern full back getting forward and back with great authority . Against Belize he connected well with K.Daniel on the left side. He can also put a good shift in CM where he does not look out of place , same when he is on either wing. But I do think he should be our left back and give us a different dimension
A.David- He has definitely improved since the youth TnT teams but still very raw and as a right footed left back he sometimes gets exposed. An example of this is Peru's 2nd goal last night when he was trying to get his right foot to block the goal by catching up to the man when the natural instinct of a left back should be slide/jump and block the shot... I think he should be around the gold cup squad, the environment and training with the best TnT team will help him and his development.
C.Glenn- Yesterday we saw Glenn really give an effort and try for the shirt. He lead the line nicely but due to lack of support , especially from Edwards he didnt get as involved as I would like. He showed that he is up for it and gave us exactly what we thought Kenwyne would- effort. I am very satisfied that we found an alternative to Kenwyne.
Players that have disappointed me are:
Kevon Carter- I dont like to be harsh on Carter, anyone that suffers a horrific injury will take a while to get back into things. I've seen flashes of the old Carter but majority of the games he hasnt been effective and his effort is in question. He doesnt mean his passes or crosses, a bit casual. I think he will be around the squad due to lack of wingers and I hope he really pushes on and gives it a go.
K.Edwards- I am happy for him to experience football on the international stage as he has been one of the pro league's stand out players for years but I do think its time for Jamaal to let go this sentiment he has with his club player. He's been given a long national trial and featured in many games but I do not see what he brings to the table going forward. I'm sorry Jamaal but its time to forget about it. Thanks for the effort Edwards... however I think he will be in the gold cup squad , if he is hopefully like Carter he can raise his game and give 100%
K.Jones- Still a bit too casual for my liking, taking things for granted. Hopefully his recent place on the bench can spark a bit of fire but I doubt it. Good player to have off the bench if chasing a game or need an outlet to ease pressure.
Players I want to see given a chance:
Andre Boucaud- This guy has been playing at a high level week in week out. A center midfielder which we can use. I hope he is called up for the June friendlies at Estonia and Romania to have a look at him and see what he can add. With him our midfield choices look good , Birchall Hyland Theobald and Boucaud
JL Samuel- Unfinished business with the national team, Quality player and will add experience and class to the backline be it at LB or CB.. We are a bit short on experience in the backline. It will help dramatically
J.Hoyte- If his promise of joining up with the squad from June is true it will add experience to the back 4 as well. Great for a young Right Back like C.Gonsalves to learn from.
J.Bostock- Young, technically gifted, If we can get him involved and capped we would have pulled off a good coup. Exciting talented player who can really help us out in the attacking 3rd
L.Peltier- Apparent fall out with staff, so I dont expect things to be sorted before the cup unfortunately.
What he could add is pace from the wings and a goal threat as he is well capable of scoring from wide positions. He is the efficient version of Carter. And playing at a higher level. Would be a great addition.
My 23 would be(except Peltier as it seems unrealistic):
GK: JM Williams, M.Philips, C.John
DEF: J.Hoyte,C.Gonsalves, R.Primus,D.Cyrus,C.Mitchell,S.Power, J.Jones,JL.Samuel

CONCACAF has announced a number of changes to its Gold Cup regulations ahead of 2013's upcoming tournament, the most notable of which include a provision for teams to amend their roster after the group stages and new tiebreaker rules.
READ: US placed in Gold Cup group with Costa Rica, Belize, Cuba
One of the key changes brought into effect is a rule that allows teams to swap up to four players from their 23-man roster for up to 24 hours after the conclusion of the group stage. The four new players still must come from a 35-man list of players that competing teams are required to submit 45 days prior to the tournament and must draw upon for their final 23-man roster.
Get all the latest CONCACAF Gold Cup news
The other key change involves the tiebreakers for the group stage, with goal differential across taking precedent over head-to-head record between the two teams when determining who advances from group play. There are three groups of four, with the top two teams in each group and the two best third-placed teams advancing from the group stage to the final.

From the perspective of a fan who is planning to attend this tournament, any news on team preparations to date? any thoughts on creating interest for fans to attend and support the team? any thoughts on creating a TnT section for supporters?
Any thoughts on generating interest by having some updates on potential core players who may be viable for the upcoming friendlies?
Besides announcing potential friendlies, any thoughts on promoting the games to entice fans?
TTFF is this asking to much to invest in the football programing of TnT
Post by: AB.Trini on April 06, 2013, 08:51:37 AM
People just kinda seem to let this simmer until it heats up two weeks in June....This seems to be the way we does go about business. What am I expecting at this time?
1. Any talks of training camps for additional player selections?
2. Any thoughts as to which players would be available for upcoming friendlies?
3. What about the possibility of top TnT local players against a home and away against Venezuela?
I just fell compelled to keep this GC preparations at the forefront as in my opinion, this could be a pivotal tournament for us to redeem ourselves in the eyes of many. It appears that I may be the lone wolf crying among the pack to keep the presence of this at the forefront.
Post by: AB.Trini on April 14, 2013, 09:27:56 AM
I hope those in charge eh liming under coconut trees or rum shop ole talking when they could be breaking down game position game films, planning strategies, or trying to ensure we get the best available players.
I just seems to me that we like this last minute preparations then we scramble to throw players together and hope for the best.
Come on with two months to go I would think that we ought to be stepping up game plans. You go tell me we cyar send coaches to the UK North America and where ever to hold tryout camps? Go out and appeal to players who may be on the verge of wanting to be in the Gold Cup spotlight. Time to STOP the practice of picking friend . Start small and thing big .
DO SOMETHING NOW? WHAT ARE THE PLANS FOR SUCCESS?
Post by: AB.Trini on April 24, 2013, 08:34:34 PM
Me I for excellence, accountability transparency- not this hurry up quick put together teams. They doh seem to work under these coaches. With veteran knowledgeable you may have some measure of success......but we need to look at doing things differently ,PROPER PLANNING LEADS TO POSITIVE PERFORMANCE

What you are advocating should be done after the GC in preparation for what ever tournaments we have to come later on,by now you should know our Football after we plan and put things in place play what ever games we have to play then everybody does know what was wrong,if you listen well you will always hear the same questions,excuses,answers etc after every game

Coops, welcome back and Blessings to you and family. We all know coache just pushing wood in the fire. But I would like to see J LloydSamuel in the mix. Seriously, he can add stability to the defence. Yes, the Irian league is not on par with the Euros, but so is the Vietnam and Thai league where Hector and the Trini-Asian posse playing(not demeaning the leagues in anyway). He should be on the team. He could provide the steadyness and leadership for the team

So do I take my chance and hope we come in 2nd or do I delay my flight for a day and see them play at Red Bull Arena?

On the other hand , the right coach has a lot to do with eliciting this desire and motivating the athlete. It appears to me that at the onset of this campaign, under Coach Charles, the team had a fighting spirit. From the games I witnessed, we seemed more cohesive and the building back appeared to be on. With the addition of Shabazz. The team appears to be taking a backward dive to how things were done: we back to experimenting - hastily out together teams- lack of meaningful preparation and a reliance on brining in so called talented players and thinking that a well groomed team will evolve.
How long have we had to prepare for GC? How many of the core players remain a constant for all friendliest? With less than a month prior to tournament when will we witness a team that is playing at a level that would at least challenge beyond the preliminary stage?
Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. It is not too late to change our fortunes but we need a change of approach attitude and leadership to make it all seem possible and to give us a respectable chance of representing our selves with dignity in my humble opinion.

"Defence Force striker Devorn Jorsling has been added to the 19-man squad with Philadelphia Union midfielder Keon Daniel unavailable and Vietnam-based midfielder Hughtun Hector ruled out due to injury. Vancouver Whitecaps defender Carlyle Mitchell is also out because of injury." in addition, unavilabilty of Carlos,Hyland, Primus.KJ, too, some like KJ, who ppl don't even want to see..I can't remember anyone else..7 ranked starters..tha leave about 4 possible returnees...all of which debateable, as well as replaceable...we can't expect continuity..but we may get a larger pool with knowledge of the basic premise of what the coach/es want.. so any of them called they have an idea of the plan of the coaches...provided the coaches have a plan eh...unless they change the plan and/or we change coaches, which we tend to do, everytime we settle on something..in many countries National team players seem to return forever, in TT we have only Bleeder..Good or him..he must be doing something proper to be the only consistent...barring coach, selectors, club and health ...everything else is like a lottery

MLSsoccer staff
MLSsoccer.com
Another MLS player will leave his club to play in the Gold Cup this summer, as Philadelphia Union midfielder Keon Daniel has been selected to the Trinidad and Tobago national team roster ahead of the tournament.
The Union announced Monday that Daniel (above left) will be away on international duty from June 25 to July 16, with the possibility of spending more time away if T&T advance out of the group stage in the Gold Cup.
That means he will definitely miss at least four of Philadelphia's matches, against FC Dallas, Real Salt Lake, Houston Dynamo and Chivas USA. Since he has appeared in all of the Union's league matches this season, his loss could prove significant during that stretch.
READ: Gold Cup - Preliminary rosters revealed, MLS heavily represented
Daniel, 26, has made 53 appearances since 2007 for Trinidad and Tobago. He has scored 13 goals in that span for his country.
T&T open group-stage play in the Gold Cup July 8 against El Salvador at Red Bull Arena. They will then face Haiti July 12 in Miami at Sun Life Stadium, and finish up against Honduras July 15 at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston.

...Bateau blanked
By Ian Prescott (Express).
RACING GENT midfielder Khaleem Hyland is included in Trinidad and Tobago’s 23-man squad for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, but the decision by Mechelen defender Sheldon Bateau to rest from last month’s internationals in Europe may have backfired, since he is deemed surplus-to-requirement.
Both players were back with their Belgium clubs and not in T&T’s camp prior to T&T head-coach Stephen Hart naming his squad for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, yesterday.
The Gold Cup takes place in the United States from July 7-28, and is the showpiece football event for national football teams in the Caribbean, North and Central American regions.
Having not qualified for the two previous tournaments, T&T will line up alongside champions Mexico, United States, Canada, Martinique, Haiti, Cuba, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Belize and Panama. T&T open their campaign on July 8 against El Salvador in New Jersey, before playing Haiti in Florida on July 10 and Honduras in Houston on July 15.
The T&T players will have their last training session this morning, and will take a break tomorrow. On Sunday, the T&T squad will leave for the Gold Cup. Joining the rest of the squad in Miami will be Hyland and Kevin Molino, who was on duty for his American club in midweek. Veteran Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker will also join the squad in the USA when taking up his role as Director of Football.
Both Belgium-based footballers, Hyland and Bateau cited the need for rest as the reason for opting out of representing T&T in last month’s international friendly matches against Romania and Estonia.
But while 24-year-old Hyland played recently against Peru, has 33 national caps and is considered an integral part of the T&T midfield, 22 year-old former National Under-23 captain Bateau has just one senior team cap, and is among several young defenders up for consideration. Hyland was in T&T recently, until told by his club to return to Belgium.
“Hyland’s club demanded that he return to Belgium,” stated T&T team manager William Wallace. “But Hyland was considered and we are trying to get him out of Belgium to join the team in the United States. Bateau was not considered.”
Among those missing the cut are W Connection midfielder Clyde Leon and Defence Force striker Devorn Jorslyn. But England-based Kenwyne Jones, Chris Birchall, Andre Boucard and Justin Hoyte have all gotten the nod. Other players not considered for several reasons, including injury, were Hughton Hector, Kevin Jagdeosingh, Lester Peltier, Willis Plaza, Ronald Primus and Leston Paul.

Post by: Banter Banton on June 27, 2013, 11:59:05 PM
He's been part of the T&T squad for over a year and now a pro footballer and only getting better
Gutted for him... no way Hart could have decided on his character without knowing him as Hart is fair and would give anyone the chance
so If he was left out due to a fall out that means the old staff have brought word ie Charles and King which is what I was worried about in the first place with them coming into the new set up
That old staff of Shabazz Charles and King had way too many bust ups with players.. Peltier Hyland etc..
I really hope Guerra is injured so this doesnt become some big fiasco because talent wise he is one of the best we have and a true weapon on the field

For example, he had the dates for the games off yesterday and now today, he say we playing Haiti on the 10th.
Not to mention who is: Hughton Hector, Kevin Jagdeosingh, Lester Peltier, Willis Plaza, Ronald Primus and how did Leston Paul name get called in this ? he wasn't ever close to the T&T teams in over 4 years years.
Lester Peltier, Willis Plaza and Clyde Leon was not even on the Preliminary roster so obviously they will not get picked. Unless Leon was the number 34 player that was a typo.

There's no way this squad will start this game, i believe that that bleeder would start over hyland, not my choice, but i think hyland is coming off an injury, and there's no way hart would start him. jones and glen in the middle is a no no, we will play with one strike, watch.
IMO glenn is a super sub, and hyland would replace bleedder after bleeder ran his heart out, i also believe that keon will not walk on the team after his lay off, he to IMO would work as a super sub.
but with these exceptions, the rest of the squad seems correct.

Our left side defence is weak, teams will kills us once they figure that out. Carlos is a better right back than Hoyte, Hoyte does make lil mistakes in de back.
Gay and Jones have same style, so they cant start together.
Molino, Roberts and Carter could play striker to, SH need to be creative and not waste to much time with Jones and Gay if they not scoring.
Roberts and Abu Bakr is two waste of pick. We shoulda go with Hughtun Hector and Kern Cupid and if Hector not fit then go with Guerra. Roberts does run up and down de field and do nothing.... de ground balls will kill Abu Bakr.....

According to Hart on CNC3 this morning, Theobald is the captain. He also said he is going to select players as back up should Theobald become injured.

Jorsling better than Gay if you want somebody to find the net, any day...but I guess we playing with one forward (Kenwyne) with Cornell off the bench again, so Gay there for the future. I doh mind that reasoning.

I want and I think the fans NEED an explanation on why Guerra is absent as well as Hector.. I know Hector was injured for the last 2 match days in June so maybe he has not recovered but the Guerra absence is puzzling.
He's been part of the T&T squad for over a year and now a pro footballer and only getting better
Gutted for him... no way Hart could have decided on his character without knowing him as Hart is fair and would give anyone the chance
so If he was left out due to a fall out that means the old staff have brought word ie Charles and King which is what I was worried about in the first place with them coming into the new set up
That old staff of Shabazz Charles and King had way too many bust ups with players.. Peltier Hyland etc..
I really hope Guerra is injured so this doesnt become some big fiasco because talent wise he is one of the best we have and a true weapon on the field
The information I have is that Guerra's absence is due to visa problems, not for footballing reasons.

You would think after December when we qualified Wallace and Muhammed would have done everything possible to get the kid a VISA
Good job shithongs !!
Gutted for Guerra... absolutely Gutted... and he is also one of best attacking players and game changers
Hughtun Hector is another one that hurts... I know he missed the 2 matchdays injured so I reckon he isnt fit or maybe it was the incident where his contract with his club ensured he stay with them and miss the Gold Cup... its all foggy... Why cant people get answers ??

the last time we scored from open play was against dominican rep in the degicel cup. after that we went on a goal drought.
the first peru game was KJ's last game in national colors, and before that he scored in successive games twice against guyana home and away, the game before that he had two assist, and he scored against bermuda, so KJ scored 3 goals and two assist in his last five starts, weh more yuh want, blood??
we used all our alternate forwards and they all failed to get on the board. jamal gay and willis plaza got on the board, but against week opposition, st kitts , french guiana and of all teams anguilla (the tahiti of the region).
we had two goals from open play in the degicel cup, one from richard roy, and one from molino. since then we played 6 friendlies and scored zilch!! so we exhausted all our options up front and to no avail. so why not give the only goal scoring threat ah shot. i believe jones will shine in the gold cup, watch!

New Trinidad and Tobago national coach Stephen Hart has set sights on a quarterfinal berth at the upcoming 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup as he officially announced his 23-man squad today at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain.
“The attitude of the players has been impressive,” Hart told the TTFA Media. “The objective was to select a balanced squad and one that may allow for flexibility in the manner in which we approach games.
“Collectively we need to remain focused on the process that will allow us to play effective football and help the country advance beyond the group phase. We are well aware of the challenges, none of these teams will be less than difficult opponents, but we will continue to prepare with a committed desire.”
The Warriors leave on Sunday for a training camp in Fort Lauderdale, which runs from June 30 to July 6. Trinidad and Tobago plays its opening Gold Cup group stage match on July 8 against El Salvador in New Jersey.
The 53-year old Hart hopes that success helps an awkward transition for the national team since he was selected to replace former joint head coaches, Hutson “Barber” Charles and Jamaal Shabazz.
“Fans don’t really care about when you come in as coach, they care about results,” said Hart. “But I spoke to the players and I would like us to concentrate on producing very good performance and the results will follow.
“The objective is the get into the quarter-finals, when you are in the knockout stages of a competition anything can happen.”

Based on the squad selection with only 3 out and out strikers it looks like 1 striker will play with 5 in midfield, is just a matter of which 5 will play
Theobald is the skipper and i feel once fit, Hyland and Daniel will start. That leaves 2 more slots. I personally prefer Carter for the foot speed. I think the technical ability of Boucaud will be good for the link up with the other midfielders but with him it means that Daniel has to play out left when he prefers to play more centrally. Otherwise you slot in Molino on the left leave out Boucaud and let Daniel stay central.
It's a nice little selection headache when you think of it. Throw in Guerra and Hector once available again and this is the kind of potential we have.

But let the TTFF pelt some change behind them, pay Central FC some $$$ and the Pro League and the game in the HC change it to T&T vs Walsall.
T&T gets a good friendly against competent opponents who would play at a good pace. Players get scouted and they have the caps. Hart gets to work out some tactics and formations....and its a good marketing ploy to see the rebranded T&T in action under new coach and new kit.
Let them sell jersey like wind, let them pass out info...I mean it is just a opportunity right there for the taking.

The commentators failed to understand that these Caribbean teams are playing with European based players on their rosters. They will be surprised to find out how many first & second divisions French based players are on Martinique squad. Just like they're already given Honduras the group before any games played...well hopefully T&T, Haiti or Salvador will prove them wrong..
oui c'est vrai. i saw piquionne on the field today i know he has premiership experience. martinique played all over canada today. i am glad they pulled the win out today.

Year 1 - Post world cup - No international summer tourney (Year 2 qualifiers in progress)
Year 2 - Olympics (U23), Euros, Gold Cup, Copa America, African Cup of Nations, Asia cup (all winners will roll into Year 3 Confederations cup)
Year 3 - Confederations Cup (WC Qualifiers)
Year 4 - World Cup
A system like this will also settle many of the club vs country conflicts as well. FIFA can sprinkle their youth tournaments inside of those years as well.

Excitement now. 2 goals in 2 mins. 3-1. Many of these reporters are from foreign. And they just don't want to understand the disparity in football development between the 3 regions of Concacaf. The CFU is the weakest of all. That is just the way it. We don't have the resources for football development as the other regions do. Plain and simple. Plus Belize is a young country. Just recently playing international football.

Yep, and since Belize is located in Central America is real pressure for them from all around including a lack of resources as well. its always a good thing to help those nations that lack development.

You know, I find hard when foxsports and them question why Belize should be in this tournament. They are in our zone. They not in the Euro zone. And they qualified from the Centro zone. The tournament was expanded to 12. I think they got the better of Nicaragua. This tournament and the Olimpics qualifying are probably the best they can do for now. They used to say the same about Panama. Panama reached the finals once. TT has only made one semi-final.

I don't mind colour commentary, but these fellas on FSC add zero to the broadcast besides annoyance.
They supposed to provide insight into the finer points of the game, but getting caught up in minutiae instead. Which part of the foot, who should have cut it back. Part of the problem is also that they tend to identify a starboy (I mean a Key Player) before the game, and then proceed to critique him for 90 minutes, or act like there isn't a game plan involving 11 vs 11.
They also raggin on the refs too much. Or rather second guess every call. Just call the game and then explain anything that's not obvious to the casual viewer. This should be simpler than they making it.

Post by: Rodney on July 17, 2013, 09:00:25 AM

Money! Bigger television audience = more cash for Concacaf. There is no way the three 'North American' sides will ever be made to qualify for this tournament, they are the richest and most populous nations in the region. Also they would have to completely re-design how teams qualify for the tournament as the current structure would be unfair on the Big two and Canada. I remember in the 80's and earlier there used to be a North American group for WC and regional qualifiers but that was when the US MNT was a complete joke, things different now.
Mexico and the US always perform well at the GC so no one bothers with the Fact that they won't ever have to qualify either. Shame they don't try and follow Europes structure with a 2 yearly rotation of Regional Championship then WC qualification; it would make the Gold Cup 4 yearly and at least give a better chance of shifting the hosting of the Tourney around the region. Might go some way to dispel the belief that only the US and Mexico have the infrastructure and knowhow to host the tournament. Only then they might change the current method of qualifiers and we will have a better idea of what teams deserve to be there.
Doubt that will happen though, Money talks.

If the other regional teams start to win the tournament, then there will a changes. But right now the tournament really suits the big 2 perfectly. The US gests big crowd almost every game because they can beat up on the shithongs who use to beat up on them 30 years ago. Most of the games for Mexico is set in the West. So those games are de facto home games. CR, Hondo, TT, Haiti and JA have to win the tournaments before the US Cup is moved.

I remember a time when Panama were the whipping boys of Concacaf. That 6-0 beating we put on then in the QPO in 2000 seems like a century ago...right now I wonder if we could eke out a draw against them. I don't know what system they have in place, but whatever they are doing is paying off for them significantly.
Yeah, I remember the 6-0 whopping we put on them at de Oval...and 1-0 win against them in Panama. We also gave Canada a 2-0 beating in Canada and a 4-0 beating in Trini. We defeated Mexico 1-0 also in that same group in Trini, but lost against them in Azteca Stadium by 7-0 if I remember correctly.
Except for the big loss in Mexico, we were playing some real decent ball under coach Ian Porterfield back then in 2000.

Yeah, we were playing some decent ball. If I remember correctly we topped our semi-final group ( which included Mexico) but the wheels fell off in the hex. Our first game of the hex against Jamaica at the "office" was one I eagerly anticipated because some of my Jamaican bredrens were talking smack....I could still see Shaka getting string up by that Tyrone Marshall bullet ...nightmares...

"Collectively, they're a very good team," El Salvador coach Agustin Castillo said through a translator. "They almost play by memory. They can find the spaces. It almost seems like every time they pass the ball into a space it's going to nobody, then somebody appears and actually meets the ball. Good work, good movement."

I believe brits expats coaches are working behind the scenes to achieve the growth of football/soccer in America, they highly emphasize the game shall be built on speed. Starting with applied sports science research, optimize key factors in advance athletic performance, player development nutrition and the science of Speed to the next level.

Winning cures all ills...The US are doing what they are supposed to do, and that is to destroy mediocre opponents. All that said, if they don't make it to the GC finals or get embarrassed as they did in the past 2 finals, Klinsmann's methods and tactics will be up for debate again.
To me there are no significant differences with how this team is playing now than they did under Bradley. All this team speed talk is a moot point until they get 1 or 2 players who are game changers. I am not here to compare both teams, but Brazil is nothing to write home about, but having Neymar and to some extent Oscar changes things quite a bit...

I agree with the both of you. The most eye opening comment was made by the Salvadorean Coach:
"Collectively, they're a very good team," El Salvador coach Agustin Castillo said through a translator. "They almost play by memory. They can find the spaces. It almost seems like every time they pass the ball into a space it's going to nobody, then somebody appears and actually meets the ball. Good work, good movement."
This has been the type of football that I've been advocating for over 10 years for T&T to play ---- passing the ball not necessarily directly to the man's feet, but instead passing it into the space for the man to run into and collect, in the offensive 3rd.
This is what we saw a good sparkle of in the game against Honduras last week. Molino was making some real devious passes into the space, though KJ muffed most of the opportunities. We work on those plays more-often where it becomes almost 2nd-nature to us, then we could be a threat to anyone we play...ANYONE.

...that what he describe there has always been the way the usa play. They play the ball into space and whoever not passing the ball running into space. Fitness, fitness, fitness! (any complaints lately about JK and his training methods?...or did he change them to the players' liking?)

July 24, 2013
By ESPN Staff
Based on comments El Salvador captain Victor Turcios made to ESPN Deportes on Sunday alleging match-fixing in his country, the El Salvador Football Federation (FESFUT, by its Spanish acronym) said it will request a meeting with Turcios.
"Our team is implicated in match-fixing, and we can't hide from it," Turcios told ESPN Deportes. "At this [Gold] Cup, there was the pressure of the match-fixing. FIFA is investigating our federation. They are watching every time a goal is scored because there is match-fixing and we can't hide from it. If FIFA is investigating our federation, it is because something is happening."
El Salvador was eliminated from Gold Cup 2013 play Sunday following a 5-1 loss to the United States. Turcios made his comments at that match. During first-round action earlier this month, two Belize players said they were offered money to fix a Gold Cup match against the United States. FIFA and CONCACAF said the man trying to fix the matches has since been identified. FIFA investigated reports of fixed matches at the 2011 Gold Cup as well.
FESFUT said via press release Tuesday that it would remain "firm in the fight against match-fixing" and that it would ask Turcios to pass along any information he might have, clarifying that it is "not a witch hunt against the players" but rather a way to solve any corruption problems that may exist.
Ernesto Gochez, a FESFUT national team coordinator, said the federation "suggested" that former coach Juan de Dios Castillo leave a player off the national team for 2012 friendlies versus Jamaica and Guatemala. The player, whom Castillo named in an ESPN Deportes "E:60" interview in November as Jose Mardoqueo Henriquez, was suspected of match-fixing, although nothing was ever proved. FESFUT allowed Henriquez to be included on the team for a July 24, 2012, match versus Roma in New Jersey, but Gochez said Tuesday that FESFUT recommended Henriquez be left off the team until the "waves subsided." Henriquez played for El Salvador in Gold Cup 2013.
"For El Salvador, we have read reports but we have no evidence. But we are investigating with FIFA and Interpol. We want any players who are offered match-fixing to do the same thing the Belize players did, report it," said CONCACAF general secretary Enrique Sainz last week. "We are asking any players who are approached to report it immediately.
"Match-fixing is not always the result. Sometimes they convince the players to have a corner kick in the first 15 minutes. Sometimes it seems innocent, but it is not. Lots of life situations start with small deceptions and then grow. But we are stressing that any situation must be stopped. We want also to have the protocol in place so people can report it. In the American continent, we have the doors closed and it is tougher to fix matches in this region."

Come nah man, not you too with this shit. The last three or four finals have been between the US and Mexico, so there was always a good likelihood that the top two teams in CONCACAF would meet in the final. Not only that, but given that most fans in the US follow one team or the other there is no surprise that the hope was on these teams meeting so as to maximize TV viewership. Nothing nefarious or disrespectful in that at all.

I was only pointing out the obvious, nothing wrong with that. It's a disrespect to all the other teams when they get write off before they even kick a ball. Look what happened, Panama made the final, and not Mexico who has been performing below their standards, so to promote that prediction, was just a disrespect to the other teams who also had a chance of reaching the final. American commentators are just bias bitches! Although its a long shot, I hope Panama cutt their ass!The U.S kept promoting a Mexico v USA final...

Even with Jurgen Klinsmann suspended, the United States' golden touch with substitutes continued and now, the Americans are Gold Cup champions after beating Panama 1-0.
Brek Shea scored the game's only goal just minutes after coming on, slamming home Alejandro Bedoya's low, goal-bound shot in the 69th minute. It marked the second time in the tournament that Shea had scored the game winner as a sub and with the U.S. defense playing its most complete game of the tournament, the Americans were left to celebrate their fifth Gold Cup title in front of sizable crowd (57,920) at Soldier Field.

Anybody could explain why that goal wasn't offside??
Ah know man tired have the offside argument here but Shea seem to me to clearly be offside. How could the linesman miss that? Maybe somebody offscreen was keeping him onside?? And nobody else talking 'bout it too..maybe I wrong....
It was offside oui. But what yuh can do? Once it was given, no changing the ref's mind. Plus US as usual get the home calls.

Goal was not offside. I initially thought so too but when I watch the replay, Shea was behind the play (Donovan and the ball were closer to the goal line than he was) even though he had less than two defenders between him and the goal, therefore he wasn't offside. It was close but the linesman made a good call.Anybody could explain why that goal wasn't offside??

You mean the one awarded the Golden Ball (http://www.concacaf.com/article/donovan-named-golden-ball-winner) for player of the tournament?
By the way, he scored more goals than the entire T&T team did in this competition! 8)

Mose way allyuh does come out from boy, nobody here eh trying to hear that it wasn`t offiside, even though i see it from the tv replay!! Oh and it wouldna been offside EVEN if Landon had touched it-which he clearly didnt.
Panama have rell ballers though...having said, there was no way in.hell Panama was beating no USA, especially with the officials giving the home team all the calls.

Not sure why anybody thought it was an offsides goal. Shea was behind 3 defenders when the ball was played into the box. Begrudging congrats to the USMNT
What is this? What does this even mean? I real hate dis sh!t. I think it may be my ultimate pet peeve.
Offsides don't even make no sense. There's only one side a player can go off on. :frustrated: :cursing:

You cannot be offside if the person who plays it to you is ahead of you. End of story. Man Utd fans eh :banginghead:

dat goal woulda only be offside if donovan had touched the ball before dat imps, shea did...which, the linesman with his perfect vision, saw instantly and unequivocally ::) that he didn't. Daiz one ah dem calls linesman woulda raise dy flag thinkin' donovan touch de ball but he didn't....he have eagle-eye (no pun intended) vision to have seen that donovan didn't touch it.
Let's assume Donovan touched it; he and more importantly the ball were ahead of Shea. How you gettin an offside out of that? You can't be offside when you behind the ball when it was passed.

Wait...you mean he scored more goals on HIS OWN HOME SOIL??? WOW!!!!
Dude, with all the playing time and experience he has on his own home soil on one of de most HIGHLY FINANCED of the world's national teams, it's actually a rather huge disappointment that he couldn't score more goals.

Question..Is Donovan offsides because he made an attempt to get his foot to the ball,or is he not offsides because he did not make a connectionNeither. Donovan is not offsides because at the time the ball was played forward there were at least 2 defenders between him and the goal line.

Hard luck to Staurt Holden, who busted his ACL during the match. This will be his 3rd serious injury in the last 2-3 years. Know it can't be easy fighting that fight over and over again.
...same process (not necessarily the same injury, I can't remember) that ended Kona Hislop's football career. He woulda be something else.

By Associated Press
ZURICH -- FIFA has imposed worldwide bans on three more El Salvador national team players in a match-fixing case, bringing the total to 19.
The players were not identified. FIFA says one player was banned for five years by the El Salvador soccer association this month. Another player was suspended for one year and the third for six months.
FIFA announced 16 global sanctions, including 14 lifetime bans, last week.
The case involves international matches, including El Salvador's 5-0 loss to Mexico at the 2011 Gold Cup and a 2-1 loss in an exhibition against the United States in 2010. Under-20 national team matches were also involved.
El Salvador authorities shut down the senior national team during their investigation.
