Trinidad Express
UAE coach names squad to face T&T
Story Created: Aug 26, 2013
Trinidad and Tobago goalkeeper Jan Michael Williams believes that the Soca Warriors are capable of putting on a good showing at the upcoming OSN Four-nation Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Central FC custodian said yesterday that the T&T players are eager to continue the run that saw them qualify for the Concacaf Gold Cup quarterfinals, which ended with a courageous performance against Mexico.
Williams is likely to be among the players named in the final squad by head coach Stephen Hart on Friday for the tournament, which T&T kicks off on September 5 against United Arab Emirates at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh.
“I think we will hold our own in the tournament. It’s not a long competition but it’s two good matches for us and we are honoured to have been invited to it by the Saudi Arabia Association and OSN,” Williams told TTFA Media.
“Clearly it means that we’ve been doing something positive and teams are wanting to play us on the international stage. I’ve always said that we need to continuously be playing good international teams in order to have progress,” Williams added.
“Personally I would like to see us making use of these opportunities even if it’s away from home. I know the locals want to see the team play on home soil and I’m pretty sure the Association will be working towards that. We are coming off a decent showing at the Gold Cup and playing in tournaments like this one and against teams like these will be a major factor in our preparations for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers which will be in front of us before we know it,” the former W Connection ‘keeper noted.
Meantime, United Arab Emirates head coach Mahdi Ali has named Al Ahli’s goalkeeper Majid Nasser and Al Wahda striker Mohammed Al Shehhi in his squad to face T&T on September 5. Ali has selected 23 players.
UAE are preparing for the third round of the 2015 AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers. They currently lead Group E with six points from two starts, ahead of Uzbekistan and Hong Kong.
Ali and his squad will gather at the Rotana Hotel, Dubai, on Friday, and head for Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening.
Ali said he was anticipating a strong showing at the OSN Cup.
“It’s a tournament that we will like to win of course. We will get the chance to play against a team like Trinidad and Tobago which does not happen often so it’s a good opportunity for us and we’re looking forward to the tournament,” Ali said.

Very good point Dreamer.
Based on our current 8th place ranking within CONCACAF we should be seeking regional home or away games against teams like Venezuela, Jamaica, Haiti, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico and USA currently ranked higher than us.
If we play them at home then we should seek to win or at least draw the game but if we play them away then we should still go for the win but settling for a draw is also a positive result.
Any CONCACAF opponents who are ranked below us like El Salvador, Cuba, Canada, etc; we must seek to beat them whether we play them at home or away because losing to these lower ranked teams might negatively affect our FIFA ranking.

T&T footballers received as guests at King’s Palace in Riyadh
T&T Express Reports
Story Created: Sep 7, 2013 at 9:16 PM ECT
Trinidad and Tobago’s senior footballers were back on the training pitch in Riyadh last night, a day after being received as guests of the Al Masmac Palace of King Abdul Aziz.
Skipper Kenwyne Jones and his teammates were invited to spend an evening at the Palace as the Saudi Arabia Football Federation hosted the competing countries from the OSN Cup, which comes to an end tomorrow with T&T facing Saudi Arabia in the third place playoff and New Zealand meeting United Arab Emirates in the final at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh.
The Masmac is a clay and mud-brick fort, with four watchtowers and thick walls, founded on stone blocks, lying in the centre… of Riyadh. It was used by King Abdul Aziz from 1902 to 1938 when he moved his court to then newly-built Murabba Palace. The castle also encloses a mosque and a well. The roofs are covered with painted palm-tree, taramic and ethel wood, the communicating doors of the labyrinthine rooms and courtyards inside are of painted wood.
The Palace’s museum includes a display on many antique guns, costumes and agriculture artifacts and the T&T contingent was given a two-hour tour before being served dinner. Some of the T&T players including Radanfah Abu Bakr, Jan Michael Williams, Sheldon Bateau, Kevin Molino, Glenroy Samuel and Jones also engaged in some dancing with the Saudi Arabians to the music of Arabian drums.
“It was a really enjoyable experience,” Molino told TTFA Media as he also learnt of the news in Riyadh yesterday that Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad Aldulaziz of Saudi Arabia has vowed to help take Sheffield United back to the English Premier League after buying 50 per cent stake in the Blades’ holding company,
When you come to places like this, you are here to play football but you want to experience the culture a bit as well and we had a great opportunity to visit the Palace and learn more about the country and the people,” added the Orlando City midfielder who netted T&T’s third and equalising goal in the added on time against United Arab Emirates on Thursday.
Each member of the T&T delegation were later presented with gifts from the Palace before their return to the Holiday Inn Olaya.
Head coach Stephen Hart conducted a 90-minute training session last night under slightly cooler conditions than previous days.
There’s not been much recreational activity for the T&T team in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam and home to Islam’s two holiest shrines in Mecca and Medina, and which remains a leading producer of oil and natural gas, holding more than 20 per cent of the world’s proven oil reserves.
“We haven’t had much to do other than training and preparing for the games,” said Peltier.
“But it’s a great experience being out here. I think we’ve done well as a team and we’re focusing on trying to get a good result tomorrow to finish off what will be a historic tour for us,” added the Slovakia-based player.
T&T will train once again today prior to tomorrow’s encounter against Saudi Arabia.

Btw folks the current FIFA Rankings of teams in this tournament are:-
New Zealand 57
Trinidad & Tobago 78
United Arab Emirites 84
Saudi Arabia 107
So as you can see the Saudis were quite calculated in which teams they invited to this tournament as if they win any games then they stand to benefit in their FIFA ranking because they would have beaten a team of a higher ranking in a tournament setting rather than in just a regular friendly game setting.
Our game against Saudi Arabia on Monday is a serious one as if we lose against them then we at risk of dropping a few places in our current FIFA Ranking of 78. I think we may need to beat Saudi Arabia handsomely on Monday to maintain our current FIFA Ranking or to even rise a few places.

Very good point, Socapro.
As a poster mentioned earlier in this thread, it was really no 'accident' that T&T was chosen to be a participant in this tournament. It's pretty much well known that savvy national footballing nations chose some of their opponents in these invitational tournaments as a means of moving further up the FIFA rankings.

It should now be quite clear why the Saudi Football Federation were so hospitable to our team yesterday and invited them for a night of leisure at the Palace.
They are hoping that their hospitality will detract our team from the seriousness of winning the game on Monday and that we may even do them a favour for being good host by not doing our utmost to win that game and the 3rd place prize on Monday.
In fact based on our current FIFA ranking we should have been aiming to be in the final against New Zealand while leaving the United Arab Emirites and Saudi Arabia to fight it out on Monday for 3rd place.
We seriously need to win that game against Saudi Arabia on Monday and should not regard that game as just a normal friendly. Losing that game can seriously damage our current FIFA Ranking.
-
All the teams were there not just our team. That event was pre planned way before Saudi Arabia got beaten by NZ.
Unless you saying a party Fri will distract all the teams for a game on Monday so Saudi will have a better chance to win. That sounds a little far out now.

T&T go for third spot... Showdown with 'Saudis" in Riyadh.
By Shaun Fuentes (TTFA).
Trinidad and Tobago will try to reverse the results from their three previous meetings with Saudi Arabia when both countries clash in the playoff for third place at the OSN Cup 2013 at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh from 1145 am (T&T Time) on Monday.
The “Soca Warriors” will be looking to maintain their solid showing from the previous encounter in which they recovered from a three-goal deficit to take the match to penalty kicks against United Arab Emirates which will face New Zealand in the final later on Monday.
“This match gives us another good chance to come together as a team for an international game and to see how well we put things into practice and perspective on the field of play,” head coach Stephen Hart told TTFA Media.
“We had a couple more days to settle in after the first match and with a couple more sessions in, it will be one of those games where we will try to start more positively and we would have known what to expect in terms of the conditions heading into the game itself.”
T&T have played Saudi Arabia three times before, losing 3-2 and 1-0 in 1994 and then 2-1 in Cannes, France in 1998 in a match the Saudi Arabians used as a warm up for the 1998 World Cup.
“We’ve had a chance to look at the Saudi Arabia team in the game against New Zealand and our preparations have been based around the game and the way we want to approach it,” said Hart.
“Of course we are building for our future engagements as well which is centered around the qualification for 2018 so we will try to maximize every opportunity to have a look at the players in our pool and at the same time try to put the best team on the pitch with the intention of finding the right combination,” Hart added.
Hart will however be without the services of left side defender Aubrey David who has been ruled out with an ankle injury while Curtis Gonzales will also miss the match with an ankle problem Both players sat out training on Sunday night as TTFA President Raymond Tim Kee witnessed the session after arriving earlier in the day. He also met with team and staff members at the Holiday Inn Olaya later on Sunday night.
Former Under 17 and Under 20 player Marcus Joseph made his competitive senior debut against the UAE, starting on the left flank while Columbus Crew midfielder Kevan George also made his debut, coming on in the second half.
Hart will be pleased that the likes of Molino and Willis Plaza can provide him with options in attack while Slovak-based winger Lester Peltier was lively in the first match on his first return since the Caribbean Cup in December. The midfield duo of Ande Boucaud and Khaleem Hyland will no doubt want to perform their roles well while defenders Radanfah Abu Bakr, Justin Hoyte, Sheldon Bateau and Robert Primus will be keen to ensure T&T does not have to come from behind again, at least not by three goals.
Saudi coach, Juan Ramon Lopez Caro said his team prepared well for the tournament and is keen to capture third place.
“We prepared hard for this tournament. It was disappointing to lose the first match to New Zealand but our players are still eager to do well. We will like to play a good match and to win it on Monday. Trinidad and Tobago did very well to tie the game late (on Thursday) so I expect it to be an exciting game,” said Spanish coach who took over the job from Frank Rijkaard in 2012 after previous managing Real Madrid’s B Team as well as Racing Santander and Celta de Vigo.
T&T skipper Kenwyne Jones is well aware that the hosts will want to finish the tournament with a win.
“Definitely they will want to end the tournament with a victory because they are the host country but we also did not make the trip to just come here and play just for the sake of it. I think our current bunch of players are ambitious in terms of what they want to achieve in the game and that was demonstrated by the way we fought back to try and avoid the loss in the previous match,” Jones said.
“Every game is an additional cap and experience for us and we are working towards putting the country back into a respectable position on the world football map and a good result on Monday will obviously be boost to that effort,” said the Stoke City man who now has 57 appearances for T&T with ten goals to his name.

I have listened to both Peltier and Molino twice and I cannot detect anything different with the way they speak,they both sound 100% Trinis.Two people suggested that something was wrong with their accents/twang,they sound no different from the interviewer S.Fuentes.

-
Stadium so empty yuh hearing every kick of ball echoing.
-
Hyland escape a yellow there. He shouldn'ta turn toward the player in the first place.
-
We giving them too much possession right now...though it's not 'threatening' possession.
-
Still need to work on our set plays.
Is Hyland the designated dead ball specialist now?
-
de high tempo start seems to be takings its toll on us
-
Captain KJ coming off... i think he take a knock, or precautionary since this is a friendly FIFA date
-
I have a feeling we'll catch them on a sweet counter-attack soon.
-
That was a poor free kick. The earlier one that was a cross was horrible too.
What happen to KJ
-
Still need to work on our set plays.
Is Hyland the designated dead ball specialist now?
Wouldnt call him dat. Never seen him hit the target since he has been on freekick duty
-
Hyland needs to work on his freekicks. He is leaning back too much when he kicks...
-
Still need to work on our set plays.
Is Hyland the designated dead ball specialist now?
It eh seem like we have one. Different fellas taking dem every time.
-
Good Job cap! Thanks Hart for taking him off so he avoids injury and gives Mark Hughes no excuse to remove him from Stoke starting XI
-

Peltier took one earlier, I think.
-
I think Molino might have the ability to put a good freekick in
-
Ent Abu Bakr used to have a good free kick? Or I just remembering de one he score once?
-
Hyland needs to work on his freekicks. He is leaning back too much when he kicks...
His run up was very short too. I didn't like the look of it just from dat.
Get Silvio Spann to conduct a clinic.

Coach: - López Caro (ESP).
Venue: - King Fahd International Stadium, Riyadh.
-
He (Radanfah) has a straight trajectory serious bullet but not a curler around de wall, at least not that he's shown us
-
The team is looking a little more cohesive going forward. Our midfield needs to do a better job of closing down plays defensively. I like the fight and effort, but the heat seems to have had an adverse effect as the game went on.
-
good score. Hope we can add to that given the temp.
-
I love what I'm watching thus far. The team looking real cohesive.
When last we saw a T&T team up 2-0 in the first 5 mins of an international competition? LOVE IT!!!! :beermug:
It should have been 3 nil if Jones had put away a lovely square pass about 6/7 yards out in front of goal after 2 mins 20 seconds,it was a weak attempt ,we leading 2 -0 but the Saudis look quicker to the ball and even more skillful at times.They look like they can't finish or it could have easily been 2-2.The Ref gave some decisions that went against us for no obvious reason.
-
what now come home ;D ;D ;D
-
STEUUPES!!!!!!!!!!! It was coming.
-
so much for the clean sheet :'(
-
C'mon Warriors. Doh spoil it now. We need 2 more insurance goals.
-
they shutting us down upon contact with the ball while we virtually escorting them into the back of the net. was only a matter of time.
the Saudis just want it more. they chose well when they invited us to this tournament
-
I don't understand why we're now settling for passing the ball into Saudi's defensive 'traffic'.

This team we have now is not the team they invited to this tourney
-
boy oh boy
-
Maybe it's just me, but since that first game on Thursday, it sounds like the Saudi Arabian announcer is pronouncing our country as 'Trinidad OR Tobago'. ;D
-
Nice save from we keeper.
-
We taking a extra touch too long on attack
-
Playin too sideways in d midfield imo.
-
Game rough now
-
Leh we avoid de penalty ting nah. Wuss yet a lorse in regulation time. Oh gorm Warriors, get the win please as Anil go be lookin' for any excuse to cut de funding and sabotage the program under Papa Jackula's orders.
-
the referee tiefing we whole game... just like the UAE game.
dem arabas go never make in ah English league

I don't think they invited a specific team. I think they invited us based on the experience they thought we would give them, i.e. big strong fast players to test themselves against.

I eh think he tiefing. I think they just accustom to pattycake football. So 'rough' play will get a whistle.

That goal by Saudi was long time coming and was caused by the speed of the Saudi player,Radanfah was slow,slow slow so he stuck his foot a bit too high.TBH Saudi looking good,as good as many teams in CONCACAF,if we win it will prove that we improving,even a draw will be good for us.
-
that ref is an ass
-
JEEZ...these silly fouls.
-
what is de science behind these long balls without no Kenwyne up top to fetch dem?
-
SH just told the team on the side-lines that we getting caught too much on these free-kicks because we arguing the calls.
-
this damn water break nonesense, like we playing ah test match....

Allyuh cyah say dat we not playing pure shyte since the 2 goals by KJ.Heat or no heat we have no shape.
-
Allyuh cyah say dat we not playing pure shyte since the 2 goals by KJ.Heat or no heat we have no shape.
nah we had it lock until about 35 mins
We get tired because we keep blazing forward to score and wasn't keeping the ball.
We was supposed to let the ball do the work... Saudi keeping the ball so we working haard to defend and getting more tired. Fatigue = less concentration = lorse of defensive shape.
-
Good sub, Densill Theobald will bring some steadiness in midfield. Hyland carrying two yellow, he had to be sub off.
Phillip making some poor clearances.

they look very good. they have quick passing and decision making, constantly mobile, while we are unable to string more than three coherent passes up thru midfield. we may be much improved, but our mental game is still played at a glacial pace.

Saudi Arabian fans must be asking themselves right now, "How de Hell do you organize your own tournament...hand-pick the teams you want to play against...and still LOSE both games of said tournament?" ;D
-
New Zealand have to play the Concacaf 4th place.
I would like to see us play them in the near future... Hopefully we could make them links as we there.
-
BEAUTIFUL !
tough conditions to pull off a good result... both games were extremely competitive..much needed
Onwards and Upwards !
-
We cyag get away with that shit defending against teams in CONCACAF,we cyah even make 2 or 3 good passes and we cyah keep the ball for 5 seconds,we making some ah the silliest passes that I have seen for sometime.Guerra save we blushes with some magic,in the end records will show we win,we still have plenty to do.I have a feeling the ref was helping the Saudis or teefin,we probably suffered form the heat.The records will show that we win.

pardner we was doing all de right tings in stages... for a long stretch in the second half we look second best.
But that is football, it have times when you have to hold on and soak pressure. We will probably never dominate any team totally ever again, not even Anguilla and dem.
Considering the conditions, they did very well.
-
I'll take the win, but truthfully we were thoroughly outplayed for most of that match. The team was deflated as soon as jones went off and once again we saw that we lack iron in the middle of the park. Theobald has his faults but we can't afford to discard him.
Good improvement from Marcus Joseph, and Radanfah

Agreed, the 25 fans that was there was booing their throats sore. Thought Saudi would have been much tougher to beat, I think they copletely underestimated the quality of their handpicked opponents.

we shouldn't, he is just not a starter if u need to score.......and that is sad......I see dat man consistently dissect Haiti in MannyRamjohn some time ago while doing his defensive duties well....so he definately can be effective...is jus so rare he does do it

Cannot agree with you more. He's is best as a DM but as I have said many times before, there are guys - namely Hyland - who do it better. He is good cover not a starter. A creative MF he is not.

Bleeder need a good psychologist to unlock his fear of the forward pass!
But he only has a few years left. Its imperative that a young strong DM/HM is groomed under his wing. But where are the u-20s and u-17s that supposed to be challenging for his spot? Probably playing intercol. Theobald does not play to his potential, but he takes harsh criticism for what is really a development issue more than anything.

Based on this UAE vs New Zealand game, with UAE up 2-0 in the 72nd min, all things considering, I have to say that T&T was the best team in this tournament. We were one penalty kick conversion from probably winning this thing.
-
Based on this UAE - NZ game, Mexico could be saying "4th in the Hex might not be too bad"

Tru' talk....but UAE and NZ might as well be Germany, because this is a Mexico team that could easily lose against the Cayman Islands or Fiji.
-
I think the switch from Chepo to Tena will make the difference, at the very least, they might be able to get Vela and Ochoa back in the mix, and then duke it out for that 4th place.

It sad to know that people continue to ignore the positive in Bleeder or praise his work when he performs.. He showed some quality today and people still make it dey bizness to criticize him based on what dey perceive generally and not his actual performance

Hmm, 6 yellow cards for T&T...anyone notice where the ref is from ;D

but kiffy nobody ent say he ent perform...but he inconsistent and often timid about forward passes.....u does often try to palm of he deficiencies and unwillingness to make ah forward pass on d rest of d team...now dat he has people around around him dat possess the ball well enough what u have to say, densil have issues...but issues dat, if faced HONESTLY (by u aswell) and worked on, can be rectified...we cyah jus sweep it under d rug...especially when it negatively affects team performance.....come on man he is a part of a TEAM

Six goals in two consecutive matches
Leaving aside de 10-0 walloping we inflicted on Anguilla last year, the last time we scored six goals in two consecutive matches was at the beginning of 2012. A 2-3 loss to Finland on January 22nd (http://www.socawarriors.net/mens-senior-team/senior-team-news/fixtures-results.html?view=matchreport&id=540) was followed up by a 4-1 win over Antigua and Barbuda on February 29th (http://www.socawarriors.net/mens-senior-team/senior-team-news/fixtures-results.html?view=matchreport&id=541).
Two headed goals in one match
That last time we scored two headers in a game was in a 3-1 win over El Salvador at RFK Stadium, Washington DC on August 14th, 2008 (http://www.socawarriors.net/mens-senior-team/senior-team-news/fixtures-results.html?view=matchreport&id=472). The headers were scored by Glen and Wolfe.
Scoring early
The fastest goal we've scored was by Stern John who scored after only 48 seconds against Haiti at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on July 29th, 1998 (http://www.socawarriors.net/mens-senior-team/senior-team-news/fixtures-results.html?view=matchreport&id=284). Stern also scored in the first minute of play against Dominican Republic on June 23rd, 1996. We were leading 2-0 after 8 minutes on a Dwight Yorke goal. The game finished 8-0 in our favor. Another first-minute goal was scored by Jeff Gellineau in our first ever World Cup Qualifier which was against Suriname (http://www.socawarriors.net/mens-senior-team/senior-team-news/fixtures-results.html?view=matchreport&id=86) at the Queen's Park Oval on February 7th, 1965.
