By Paul Clarke (Jamaica Gleaner)
Jamaica Football Fede-ration (JFF) president, Captain Horace Burrell, yesterday announced that the Reggae Boyz will play two international friendly games on the two upcoming FIFA dates.
The national senior team will take on the Soca Warriors of Caribbean rivals Trinidad and Tobago in a two-match series. Jamaica will host the Trinidadians on Friday, November 15 at the Montego Bay Sports Complex beginning at 8 p.m. The squad will then depart the island for Trinidad for the return game on November 19.
Captain Burrell indicated that the Federation was seeking to keep a national senior team active as the country begins its campaign for the 2018 World Cup.
A grateful Montego Bay mayor, Glendon Harris, affirmed the city's willingness to host the match and urged its citizens to support the game.
"I am calling on the fans as well as corporate entities in the city of Montego Bay to support the game by purchasing tickets," said the mayor, stressing that football brings great benefits to the city.
Local-based players
Meanwhile, national senior men's coach, Winfried Schäfer, said that it was his intention to work with a cadre of local-based players in order to develop them into a core group which will be capable of holding their own on the international stage.
Coach Schäfer stressed that the country and the national football programme will be strengthened when local-based players can go overseas on professional contracts and then come back to represent the country.
Ticket prices for the game at the Montego Bay Sports Complex: VIP $1,500, grandstand $1,000 and bleachers, $500.

Call out some (not all) of de foreign deployed troops and "Special forces" and make good use of the "Rangers" at home
We may have to be realistic and call up some Special forces but give some Navy Seals stationed abroad a bligh.
We still experimenting and now is definitely the time to play some seriously hungry Pro League players but playing Jamaica is personal dread and plenty is at stake. However it goes we are damn thankful for these games. Once again, thank de Lord for the exit of Jackula, Scamps and Rodent. Ent Coop's?
Football renaissance! Locals in bold to emphasize balance in experimentation
Keepers: Jan, Marvin
L backs: Cyrus, Joevin (Navy Seal Primus might not need to be called unless we taking this war to a nex' level and World Cup qualifiers)
Stopper 1: Mitchell, Bateau. Need one more local stopper in case we cyah get a foreign base. Kareem Moses?
Stopper 2: Julius !!, Power. Need one more local stopper, Jack? in case we cyah get a foreign base

R wing mids: Molino (also for a central mid formation). Marcano?
Strikers: Jones, Kerry Baptiste, Darryl Roberts, Rundell Winchester as sub for de home game

I get what Coops is saying. Jamaica is tinkering on bankrupcy and I read recently that things are so bad they're selling bread by the slice!!!
Jamaica Government might be tinkering on bankruptcy, that doesnt mean that the average man is so destitute he cant find $1000 (US $10) to go see a football match....40,000 people will easily pay that if the team is playing good football.

By Shaun Fuentes (TTFA).
Trinidad and Tobago’s Senior Team will close off their 2013 calendar with a home and away friendly international series against Caribbean rivals Jamaica on November 15th in Montego Bay and Port of Spain on November 19th.
This was confirmed on Saturday following initial discussions between the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association and the Jamaica Football Federation last month. The T&T team, under head coach Stephen Hart, will travel to Montego Bay on November 12th for the first match at the Catherine Hall Complex before returning for the second match at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on November 19th at a kick off time to be determined.
Hart described the two matches which falls on FIFA dates, as another valuable pair of outings for T&T which is gearing towards the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign while JFF President Captain Horace Burrell also stated in Kingston on Saturday that the games would be viewed as the launch of Jamaica’s 2018 World Cup journey.
“It’s always a match with a lot to look forward to and a competitive one of that when these two countries meet,” Hart told TTFA Media.
“There is a lot of history and rivalry between us and I expect it to be no different later this month. We are continuing to work towards finding the right balance, the right combination of players and the right mindset and approach as it relates to our preparations for future competitions with the 2018 qualification being the main objective and we will treat these two matches in the same manner,” Hart added.
T&T’s last win over the “Reggae Boyz” was in 2001, a 2-1 win in the Caribbean Cup at the Hasely Crawford Stadium while the Jamaicans won the last two previous meetings, 1-0 in Kingston 2010 and 3-1 at the Marvin Lee Stadium that same year.
The T&T squad for the two games will be announced later this week and the TTFA will also reveal further information about the return match over the next couple of days. The TTFA is being supported by the Ministry of Sport and the Sportt Company for this two-match series.
Trinidad and Tobago's Senior Men's Team will continue their slate of international matches for the year when they face Jamaica in two friendly internationals in a home and away series this month. T&T will travel to Montego Bay to face the "Reggae Boyz" at the Catherine Hall Stadium on November 15th and then return to Port of Spain for the second match at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on November 19th.
T&T Head Coach Stephen Hart will announce his final squad for the match in due course and further details on the November 19th encounter will be disclosed over the next few days by the TTFA.

One time rf answer this please. Minimum wage is what in Jamaica? And average land cost....lower and upper ranges.
Thanks.
Jamaica's annual minimum wage is higher than that of places like India, Mexico, Cuba, Honduras etc.
"...The National Minimum Wage was last increased in September 2012, moving from $4,500 to $5,000 per forty-hour work week. The minimum rates for security guards also increased from $6,655 to $7,320.50 per 40-hour work week..."
Security guards take home a minimum roughly US$73 per week, day-workers, household helpers etc around US$50 per week.

It's a shame the WB haven't released PPP figures for Jamaica since 2005 - they'd give you a better indication of living standards v income. As an example, the WB ranksTrinidad and Tobago 40th by GDP per capita, but 36th by Purchasing Power Parity as living in Trini is cheaper to live in than some other countries (you overtake Portugal and Greece for a start)
Portugal and Greece? Woo Hoo!!!!

Problem is, for some unknown reason, the F.A. Trophy is scheduled at the same time. Next 6 weeks are crazy if you have a good cup run:
8th/9th Toyota Classic

Look on the bright side, daiz far far better than Jackulito's cabal's deeds, cause at least we killing two birds with one stone, one helping the team develop and the other filling up the coffers. I am grateful.

T&T Express Reports.
Trinidad and Tobago goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams wants the public to turn out in their numbers to show support to the Caribbean “Classico” encounter between T&T’s “Soca Warriors” and Jamaica on November 19, especially with English-based duo Carlos Edwards and Christopher Birchall in the lineup.
Williams was speaking yesterday as he looked at the make up of the T&T team selected by head coach Stephen Hart. He is enthused over the opportunity to face the “Reggae Boyz” in a pair of home and away fixtures.
“They are always our biggest Caribbean rivals,” Williams told TTFA Media.
“We didn’t get the opportunity to play them in the Caribbean Cup last year and obviously we didn’t meet in the World Cup qualifiers, so I think this will be a showdown to close off what has been a pretty good year for our national team.
“I know we as players will be raring for the games because of the rivalry involved, and we want to put on a good show in Montego Bay, and then when we come home on the 19th before the home fans,” said the Central FC custodian.
“This is a really big test for us and I can speak on behalf of the entire squad, I know with the new coach and everyone involved now we will be eager to get positive results both home and away. Stephen Hart is doing an exceptional job in terms of leading the team and justifying his selections. The captain Kenwyne (Jones) is also doing a really good job in leading the squad in the direction of where we want to go,” Williams added.
About the recall of Edwards and Birchall for their send offs before the home fans, Williams said he feels privileged to have played alongside them.
“I am excited to be in the squad for this game with these two players. They were two instrumental members of the squad and they were consistent in our efforts to get to the 2006 World Cup. And I am happy they will have the chance to be with us for the second game. All in all it will be a good occasion and it should be exciting for all of us.”
The T&T squad will depart for Montego Bay on Tuesday morning ahead of Friday’s first match. The return match at Hasely Crawford Stadium kicks off at 8pm on November 19.

...Edwards happy for appreciation
T&T Express Reports.
Carlos Edwards has already packed his bags ahead of his flight to Port of Spain this Thursday, but has sent a message that he still has the legs to keep on representing the Red,White and Black.
The 35-year-old Ipswich Town player has been invited along with Chris Birchall to line up for Trinidad and Tobago in the November 19 friendly international at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
In a gesture by national team head coach Stephen Hart, local fans will have the chance to show their appreciation for Edwards and Birchall, who has officially announced his retirement.
Edwards will be arriving home on Thursday but wants his fans to know that he hasn’t retired from the international game and will still be available to play for T&T in the future once he falls into the plans of the coach.
“I was surprised but I’m happy that the Association sees it fit to offer the opportunity to Chris and myself to play before the home fans. I’m not getting any younger but at the same time, I’m still playing at a relatively high level and I intend to keep playing. I still want to offer my services to the national team of Trinidad and Tobago” Edwards told TTFA Media on Sunday.
“It was always my intention to keep on playing. I played the whole Gold Cup and I missed the entire preseason for my clubs so I decided it might be a good time to take a back seat from international football for a little while. But I don’t intend to call it quits just yet.
I think I still have something to offer in terms of helping the team and helping the younger players to develop with the experience that I have now. We have to build for the future and I’d like to be part of the it,” added the former Defence Force and St Anthony’s College player.
Edwards added that he hopes to link up with his 2006 teammates at some point in the future.
“I always love playing against Jamaica and I think this will be a good, competitive match on the 19th. But for me, the real occasion will be lining up with the boys from the 2006 squad before the home crowd. I feel special in a way to have this game on the 19th but you look at players like Dwight Yorke and Dennis Lawrence, it would be lovely to do it with them at some time in the future.”
Meantime, the T&T 18-man squad will depart for Montego Bay this morning with some of the overseas-based players meeting the local contingent there. T&T and Jamaica will meet in the first of two friendlies on Friday night.

Colorado Rapids forward Deshorn Brown has been called up by the Jamaican National Team for upcoming friendly matches against Trinidad and Tobago on November 15 and 19. Jamaica will host the first match in Montego Bay on Friday the 15th before visiting Port of Spain on the 19th. Brown has made two appearances with the Reggae Boyz, coming in the final matches of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying in October.
“We’re always pleased to see our players getting opportunities for their national teams, and Deshorn Brown took full advantage of his chance with Jamaica in October,” said Rapids Technical Director Paul Bravo. “This experience will continue to help Deshorn develop his game and stay fit in our offseason, and we wish him the best.”
Brown, 22, emerged as a Rookie of the Year candidate during his first professional season, having been drafted 6th overall by the Rapids in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft. The speedy striker finished with ten goals in 31 appearances (24 starts), leading both Colorado and all MLS rookies, and was also tied for third on the team with four assists (trailing only fellow Rapids player Dillon Powers among MLS rookies). The native of Manchester, Jamaica played in each of Jamaica’s most recent matches, the final two CONCACAF qualifying games for the FIFA World Cup,
The Rapids have finished the 2013 season, setting several franchise records during the regular season and qualifying for the playoffs for the 12th time in team history. The club is expected to have the 11th overall selection in January’s MLS SuperDraft, after which the team will reconvene in Denver for preseason.

D.C. United today announced that Michael Seaton has been selected to the Jamaica Men’s National Team roster for two upcoming friendlies against Trinidad & Tobago. The first game will be played on Nov. 15 in Montego Bay with the second game taking place on Nov. 19 in Port of Spain.
Born in Spanish Town, Jamaica, the forward participated in the CFU U-17 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches in July with the U-17 Jamaica National Team, tallying two goals in wins against Bermuda and Antigua and Barbuda. This will be Seaton’s first appearance with the Men’s National Team.
The Youth Academy product signed with United on Jan. 14, 2013, becoming the fifth Homegrown player to sign with the Black-and-Red, and the first MLS player to be born after the league began play. In March, he was loaned to the Richmond Kickers of the USL Pro League where he featured in 15 games (11 starts) and finished with five goals and one assist on the season. For United, the teenager saw action in three league games and recorded his lone assist in an international friendly against Chivas De Guadalajara on July 12.

T&T Guardian Reports.
Soca Warriors coach Stephen Hart says he expects Jamaica to be tough hosts in tomorrow’s friendly International at the Catherine Hall Stadium Sports Complex, in Montego Bay.
The “Reggae Boyz” are coming off a 2-2 draw with 2014 World Cup qualifiers Honduras in their final qualifying match last month but finished bottom of the six-team table and are using this match to launch their Russia 2018 campaign, as announced by Jamaica Football Federartion (JFF) president Horace Burrell earlier this month. T&T, back then, had played to a 0-0 draw at home to New Zealand, Brazil 2014 World Cup hopefuls, at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo.
German Winfried Schafer is now at the helm of the Jamaican team and he is eager to secure his first victory at home with the 1998 World Cup finalists. Additionally, the Jamaicans are not too impressed by T&T’s recent jump ahead of them in the latest Fifa rankings with the “Warriors” one spot ahead of them in 81st position.
“It’s quite natural that they will try to be very difficult opponents because they are at home and the rivalry between the two countries is one of the biggest in Concacaf,” Hart said.
“They are coming off a campaign that didn’t go too well for them and they are in the process of preparing for 2018, in a similar position to us at the moment.
But we’ve arrived in Montego Bay also fully aware of what this game means to us and our people and the players are always ready for this kind of challenge. I know a lot of the boys are quite keen to get a good result and we will approach the game in a manner that it deserves.”
Hart will have to do without Philadelphia Union midfielder Keon Daniel, who did not make the trip to join the T&T team after being called up last week.
The T&T coach will not name a replacement which means T&T will go into Friday’s game with 17 players as Port Vale’s Christopher Birchall, Carlos Edwards of Ipswich Town and North East Stars’ Trevin Caesar will join the team on Saturday ahead of Tuesday’s return friendly at Mucurapo.
For that match, Hart will also excuse Justin Hoyte as the player has just completed a move to Millwall and the club has requested his presence in their camp ahead of their next outing while defender Sheldon Bateau will also return to Belgium to rejoin KV Mechelen following Friday’s match in Montego Bay.
Hoyte, speaking at the team’s base at the Hilton Hotel in Montego Bay, was quite eager about facing the Jamaicans on Friday.
“I’m ready for them. I’ve heard a lot about this match up and I’m really looking forward to stepping on the pitch and being part of it. I would have loved to be in squad for the two games but obviously Millwall wants me to be around because I’ve just signed with them and the manager wants me to be in the preparations after Friday. I’m very thankful to Stephen Hart and the association for their understanding,” Hoyte said.
Stoke City’s Kenwyne Jones and the 16 other members trained in Montego Bay on Tuesday night and were carded to engage in another session yesterday evening.
Tickets for Tuesday’s match which will be available from today, are priced at $100 (covered stands) $75 (uncovered) and children under 12 free. Tickets will be available at Kenny’s Sports Outlets nationwide and Fan Zone Movie Towne (Port of Spain) and Gulf City.

Kenwyne Jones, who starts for English Premier League team Stoke City, will lead Trinidad and Tobago's attack against Jamaica in their friendly international at the Montego Bay Sports Complex tomorrow evening, starting at 8:30 pm.
Jones arrived in the island yesterday and was listed in the Trinidad team that was announced at a press conference held at the RIU Montego Bay Hotel in Rose Hall.
He is the top scorer this season so far with four goals for Stoke City, who are in 17th place in the EPL, just above the relegation zone, one of three teams with 10 points.
Jamaica, meanwhile, have included three teenagers in their team — schoolboys Isamnia Cohen of Manchester High and Khesanio Hall, who has scored 34 goals for St Elizabeth Technical in the daCosta Cup.
Seventeen-year-old striker Michael Seaton, who is from Spanish Town and was part of the 2012 Under-17 team and is now part of the DC United Academy, has also been called up by coach Winfried Schafer.
Meanwhile, Schafer also said they had invited Montego Bay United's striker Dino Williams, but the player had to turn down the invitation as he was injured.
The Caribbean rivals will play two games during the FIFA break with the second game set for Trinidad on Tuesday, and the coaches for both teams think the games will be good for their respective programmes.
Schafer told the press conference that the games against Trinidad "are a very good test for us" and said the series of games planned will allow the young players to grow.
The games he said "will give the young players the chance to make mistakes so we can help them get better".
The German, who is expected to sign a new four-year contract with the Jamaica Football Federation soon, said "this is the start of a new chapter where we can test players and see what we have".
Stephen Hart, who formerly coached the Canadian national senior men's team, said this was "a rebuilding phase for our programme and we need to play against teams like Jamaica", and also promised "entertaining football to give the fans what they pay for".
Squads:
Jamaica — Richard McCallum, Jermaine Anderson, Montrose Phinn, Kemar Lawrence, Brian Brown, Gariece McPherson, Keammar Daley, Darren Mattocks, Omar Daley, Alva Powell, Adrian Reid, Deshawn Brown, Jason Johnson, Michael Seaton, Je-Vaughn Watson, Decoy Williams, Upstan Edwards, Ricardo Morris, Jermaine Woozencroft, Andrew Vanzie, Isamnia Cohan, Khesanio Hall
Trinidad and Tobago — Jan-Michael Williams, Cleon John, Daneil Cyrus, Radanfah Abu Bakr, Carlyle Mitchell, Aubrey David, Curtis Gonzales, Justin Hoyte, Kevan George, Densill Theobald, Joevin Jones, Ataullah Guerra, Kenwyne Jones, Rundell Winchester, Andre Boucaud, Sheldon Bateau, Lester Peltier.

HOSTS Jamaica and arch-rivals Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) will be aiming for good performances tomorrow night, when they square off in the first of two friendly international football games at Montego Bay Stadium in St James, starting at 8:30 p.m.
"This is the beginning of our 'Road to Russia' 2018 campaign ... this is a chance to test some of our young, local-based players and the US-based players," said Reggae Boyz head coach Winfred Schäfer, during a press conference in Montego Bay yesterday.
"Presently, we are looking to build a team for the future with players who are of good character."
Following Friday night's game, which promises to be the first of many games the Jamaica football Federation (JFF) plans to stage in Montego Bay, the teams will journey to Trinidad for the return contest, at Hasely Crawford Stadium, next Tuesday.
"We are grateful for this opportunity to play these two games against Jamaica ... we are in a rebuilding phase in our programme ..., this should be a good test against a Jamaican team which was recently involved in a competitive World Cup campaign," said Stephen Hart, T&T's head coach.
He added: "We are hoping to put on a good performance that should provide the team with high-quality entertainment."
Testing their mettle
While the Reggae Boyz and the Soca Warriors will be testing their mettle on the lush green Catherine Hall surface, Jamaica Football Federation boss Captain Horace Burrell will be testing the readiness of the west to host international football.
"The support we get from this game on Friday night will go a long way in determining whether or not it is feasible to stage games here in western Jamaica," said Burrell. "The Catherine Hall facility is a small facility and even if it is full to capacity, that might not cover the cost of staging the game."
Fans utilising the bleachers, which holds approximately 4,000 fans, will be required to pay a $500 entry fee, while those occupying the grandstand, which includes the VIP area, will be asked to pay $1,000 and $1,500, respectively.
SQUADS:
JAMAICA: Richard McCallum (Waterhouse), Jermaine Anderson (Waterhouse), Montrose Phinn, (Harbour View), Kemar Lawrence (Harbour View), Brian Brown (Harbour View), Gariece McPherson (Cavalier SC), Keammar Daley (Tivoli Gardens), Darren Mattocks (Vancouver Whitecaps), Omar Daley (Minnesota United), Alvas Powell (Portland Timbers), Deshorn Brown (Colorado Rapids), Jason Johnson (Houston Dynamo), Michael Seaton (DC United), Je-Vaughn Watson (FC Dallas), Dicoy Williams (Harbour View), Upston Edwards (Portmore United), Ricardo Morris (Portmore United), Jermaine Woozencraft (Montego Bay United), Andrew Vanzie (Portmore United), Insamnia Cohen (Manchester High School), Khesanio Hall (St Elizabeth Technical High School) and Adrian Reid (Portmore United)
T&T: Jan Michael Williams (Central FC), Marvin Phillip (Point Fortin Civic), Justin Hoyte (Milwall), Daneil Cyrus (W Connection), Radanfah Abu Bakr (FC Vostok), Carlyle Mitchell (Vancouver Whitecaps), Aubrey David (Caledonia AIA), Sheldon Bateua (KV Mechelen), Joevin Jones (W Connection), Curtis Gonzales (Defence Force), André Boucaud (Notts County), Kevan George (Colombus Crew), Keon Daniel (Philadelphia Union), Densill Theobald (Caledonia AIA), Lester Peltier (Caledonia AIA), Ataullah Guerra (Rovaniemen Palloseura), Rundell Winchester (Central FC), Kenwyne Jones (Stoke City/captain)

Port Vale midfielder Chris Birchall might not be the only Trinidad and Tobago midfield star who waves goodbye to his international future in the upcoming home and away friendly series against Jamaica.
“Soca Warriors” head coach Stephen Hart had hoped to use the international get-togethers to have a long chat with 26-year-old Philadelphia Union midfielder Keon Daniel about his future with the national team.
Instead, Hart might have to make that decision without him as the talented United States-based player again skipped international duty and failed to show for duty in the build-up to the Warriors’ fixture at the Catherine Hall Stadium in Montego Bay tomorrow.

Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) general secretary Sheldon Phillips confirmed that Daniel did not make his flight to Jamaica and that Hart has no idea why.
“It is very disappointing,” Phillips told Wired868. “Hart contacted me by email yesterday to tell (Daniel) missed his flight (and) we have had no reason (for it) whatsoever.
“Hart has tried to reach him but has not been able to get on to him so far.”
In the last 13 months, Daniel was invited to 20 Trinidad and Tobago games—excluding the Warriors’ home friendlies against Peru and New Zealand—by a combination of coach Hutson “Barber” Charles, the dual stewardship of Jamaal Shabazz and Charles and then by current boss, Hart.
Daniel showed up for only five of those matches, or just 25 percent of the times he was summoned.
The left footed playmaker skipped the 2012 Caribbean Cup semi-final and final rounds but was allowed to rejoin the squad for friendlies away to Belize and Peru in March without apologising to the team or local fans.

Daniel played against Belize but pulled out of the game in Peru and then declined the chance to play against Romania and Estonia in June.
Still, he was invited to play at the Gold Cup finals; possibly at the expense of either Caledonia AIA attacker Keyon Edwards or Central FC winger Jason Marcano.
Daniel scored Trinidad and Tobago’s first goal of the Gold Cup, in a 2-2 draw with El Salvador, and replaced the absent Khaleem Hyland in central midfield for the Warriors narrow 1-0 quarterfinal loss against Mexico.
However, his form wavered throughout the tournament and he did not feature at all in the Warriors’ only 2013 Gold Cup win, which was a 2-0 triumph over Honduras that assured them of only their second ever appearance in the knockout round.
Daniel subsequently ruled himself out of the OSN Cup and games against United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
Hart responded by not selecting Daniel in the squad that drew goalless with New Zealand last month. At the time, the coach told Wired868 that Daniel did not appear sufficiently enthused about representing his country.

The Jamaica games were supposed to be an opportunity for Daniel and DIRECTV W Connection defender Daneil Cyrus to confirm their commitment to the national cause.
“Cyrus contacted me and we discussed what we had to discuss,” said Hart, in a previous interview. “I told him we will talk further in camp on not just his missing Saudi Arabia but his future with the national team. It is the same for Daniel.”
Cyrus will have that chat with Hart in Jamaica. But Daniel, who has an impressive 58 full international caps with 13 goals, was again a no-show.
Trinidad and Tobago has opted not to call a replacement for the Philadelphia player and Hart will have just 17 players to choose from tomorrow.
Point Fortin Civic midfielder Marcus Joseph and Defence Force winger Kevon Carter are among the top potential candidates to replace Daniel in the squad that will face the “Reggae Boyz” from 8 pm on Tuesday November 19 at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain.
England-born right back Justin Hoyte, who just completed a transfer to England Championship team Millwall, will not play in the Trinidad leg against Jamaica after Hart agreed to allow him more time with his new club.

Hoyte is expected to start tomorrow though as the Warrior tackle a Jamaican team that should be fired up by its new German coach Winfred Schafer, who won the 2002 African Cup of Nations with Cameroon and recently coached Thailand.
“It’s quite natural that they will try to be very difficult opponents because they are at home and the rivalry between the two countries is one of the biggest in Concacaf,” Hart told the TTFA Media. “They are coming off a campaign that didn’t go too well for them and they are in the process of preparing for 2018, in a similar position to us at the moment. But we’re (…) fully aware of what this game means to us and our people and the players are always ready for this kind of challenge.
“I know a lot of the boys are quite keen to get a good result and we will approach the game in a manner that it deserves.”
Trinidad and Tobago squad to face Jamaica in Montego Bay:
Goalkeepers: Jan-Michael Williams (Central FC), Marvin Phillip (Point Fortin Civic);
Defenders: Justin Hoyte (Millwall—England), Daneil Cyrus (W Connection), Radanfah Abu Bakr (Vostok—Kazakhastan), Carlyle Mitchell (Vancouver Whitecaps—Canada), Sheldon Bateau (KV Mechelen—Belgium), Curtis Gonzales (Defence Force), Aubrey David (Caledonia AIA);
Midfielders: Andre Boucaud (Notts County—England), Kevan George (Columbus Crew—US), Densill Theobald (Caledonia AIA), Lester Peltier (Slovan Bratislava—Slovakia), Ataullah Guerra (RoPS—Finland), Joevin Jones (W Connection);
Forwards: Kenwyne Jones (Stoke City—England), Rundell Winchester (Central FC).
Additions for Trinidad leg: Carlos Edwards (Ipswich Town—England), Chris Birchall (Port Vale—England), Trevin Caesar (North East Stars).

The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association today announced at a Press Conference that the November 19th Friendly International against Jamaica at the Hasely Crawford Stadium will see two of this country's 2006 World Cup team members recalled to the current senior team for a send off in front of the home fans.. Christopher Birchall and Carlos Edwards will be added to the Squad and local fans will have their opportunity to say thank you to the two stalwarts for their services to the country. Birchall has officially announced his retirement from the international game while Edwards has hinted his intentions.Coops you're wrong on this one buddy. When David Nakhid had a testimonial match it was in an International friendly vs South Africa (although he came out of retirement to play in the 2006 qualifiers) and when Russell Latapy had a testimonial in was in our last local warm-up match here in T&T before the 2006 World Cup (although he too later came out of retirement to play in the 2010 qualifiers). So based on precedent Testimonial matches have been traditionally International friendlies
Also, given that BOTH men quoted came out of retirement after their testimonial matches, chances are we may yet see Birchall play for T&T again ;D Carlos hasn't "officially" called it a day yet and I'm pretty sure if Russia 2018 campaign lookin good he will offer himself. PATRIOT out! Peace

We are promoting a home and away clash between T&T and Jamaica and the return leg is in Trini on Tuesday and no radio or tv feed? No linkup with a local broadcaster to promote and generate interest? We are not serious in this country about sport. It is a big joke. TTFF needs to step up or else what is the point? If you do not market and promote how will the youths be interested in keeping the flag flying high?This game is being played in Jamaica so its down to them to provide at least a radio link and not us.
I am sure we will do much better than this in the return game in T&T on Tuesday regards at least live radio coverage being streamed over the internet.

We are promoting a home and away clash between T&T and Jamaica and the return leg is in Trini on Tuesday and no radio or tv feed? No linkup with a local broadcaster to promote and generate interest? We are not serious in this country about sport. It is a big joke. TTFF needs to step up or else what is the point? If you do not market and promote how will the youths be interested in keeping the flag flying high?This game is being played in Jamaica so its down to them to provide at least a radio link and not us.
I am sure we will do much better than this in the return game in T&T on Tuesday regards at least live radio coverage being streamed over the internet.
This may be true...but if it was USA o Mexico playing in Jamaica....bet me life deh would have found a live feed for their audience at home. I know we smaller than them, but sometimes we need to aim for that kind of standard

At senior level, I am not sure. However, I remember the Under-17s (I think) beating them to qualify for a youth world world cup. Kevin Molino had scored, that fact (the scorer that is) I am sure of.

13. Was little 19 yr old yout' Rundell Winchester. He missed 2 scoring opportunities there: a header from Peltier's cross then a side footer from a left cross. Daiz life when yuh green on the international stage. He'll eventually get it right. Good to expose him now
10. Was Guerra playing cental mid and attacking
3. Was Hoyte in the first play who ran down the right wing and tried a left footer over the bar as a defender came in with a sliding blade.
14. Was Boucaud in defensive mid position.

Including one cleared off de line. Looked, to me, to be an even game that we pull through with good defending.

To the Team, Kudos on the win fellas and great job by Kaptain KJ.
I believe we could win the return leg on the 19th but it will take a lot of discipline because JamRock will be coming to win!
Mr. Hart, I believe like the Special One, you possess an immense amount of talent in de belly and if used correctly; and with your seeming skill-set, this team could put plenty water in plenty people eyes Al La Belgium. Got to dream big to win big. Ask Steve Jobs! He sure played as a heavyweight for someone who didn't even know coding!
I believe your team could want to excel and I believe you have what it takes to want to ask them too!
Keep up the Great Work; giving credit where credit is due! Go TNT

T&T Express Reports.
Both the Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaican national teams are in town for tomorrow’s encounter on the final FIFA international matchday for 2013.
The two teams arrived in Port of Spain on Saturday night from Montego Bay and are based at the Capital Plaza hotel ahead of the match billed as the “Caribbean Classico”.
They will undergo their final training sessions at the Hasely Crawford Stadium this evening. Also in town is Ipswich Town midfielder Carlos Edwards and Port Vale midfielder Chris Birchall who will be appear in tomorrow’s match in an official sendoff, having retired from the international game earlier this year.
“It’s great to be back and to be appreciated by the Association and the country. I’m always excited to play before the home fans and even moreso after the boys pulled off the win on Friday,” Edwards told TTFA Media.
“I know for a fact Jamaicans hate losing and they will be coming very hard at us on Tuesday to even things up. I haven’t played much against them in the past but having been around our national team for so long, I know the rivalry is one of the biggest in football when you look at all the Confederations… so in saying that, there is definitely a lot at stake,” Edwards added.
Finland-based midfielder Ataullah Guerra, the scorer of T&T’s winner on Friday, believes T&T can reproduce their winning performance but wants the local fans to be part of it.
“It was a pleasure to score for my country. It’s been a while since we beat them in Jamaica so it was a great honour for me and the team,” Guerra added.
The former San Juan Jabloteh player noted though that even after the goal was scored, he did ask skipper Kenwyne Jones why he didn’t play the initial ball to him before the Stoke City forward went for goal.
“I was so anxious and I was looking for him to pass the ball to me but he was also in a good opportunity to shoot and I was in the right spot at the right time to follow up.”
“It was a tough match for us. We played to the coach’s instructions and to our strengths and we got the result we wanted. But this game on Tuesday will be much harder because we put ourselves in a position now where we have to show our commitment to maintain a winning performance. They knew we beat them at home and they will not come here to lie down. They will be fighting down to the final whistle,” Guerra added.
Also coming into the squad for tomorrow’s match is North East Stars player Trevin Caesar, while Sheldon Bateau and Justin Hoyte have returned to their clubs in Belgium and England.
Meanwhile, Trinidad and Tobago head coach Stephen Hart praised his players for securing their 1-0 win over Jamaica in Montego Bay on Friday night.
Hart said the effort of the players was second to none, commending skipper Kenwyne Jones and his teammates for weathering the second half storm from the “Reggae Boyz” who went in desperate search of the equalizer.
“It was a game of two halves really. I thought we started really well and we played an exceptional first half. We created some good chances in the first half and we did a lot of things well,” Hart told TTFA Media.
“But we panicked a bit in the second half and gave the ball away. Jamaica were winning the ball and putting us under pressure and playing the ball forward quickly. We gave away a lot of set-plays and neutral people might say they deserved a goal.
But in the end, a creditable showing for us. We had a brand new back four who had never played together before and we came away with a clean sheet away from home,” Hart added.
“It was a very competitive game and this is what I’ve been asking of the players,” he ended.

Lets hope he really does apologize and gets himself checked out. Something is definitely wrong with him as the unbiased ones can see. The lad loves his football. If only we could get coach man ( Bertil) to talk to him

By Ian Burnett (Jamaica Observer)
Rome was not built in a day.
That's the message of Jamaica's senior football team head coach, German Winfried Schafer, as he prepares his team for tomorrow's 8:00 pm kick-off for the second leg of a two-way friendly series of matches against Caribbean neighbours Trinidad and Tobago at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
"First of all team building is not a one-day or a two-day thing, team building is a process that could take some time, maybe one year," Schafer told the Jamaica Observer yesterday, prior to the team's scheduled training session at the match venue.
In Friday's game at the Montego Bay Sports Complex, Ataulla Guerra gave the visitors a fifth-minute lead which held up in the end.
Both team arrived here on Saturday night and are now resident at the Capital Plaza Hotel in Port of Spain.
The 18-man Reggae Boyz squad was taken through a light jog and stretching exercise yesterday morning at the Hasely Crawford Complex, under the watchful eyes of physical trainer Andre Waugh and Schafer.
But now the coach wants the development process to kick in earnestly.
"Now our new goal is to build a new team for the 2018 World Cup, but before we start the qualifications for that World Cup, there will be the Caribbean Cup, the Gold Cup and possibly the Confederation Cup from South America.
"To do that we have to watch our local players, and this is not against the players from England, but the local players must be the heart of the team. But we must understand that we cannot play without the best players from outside of Jamaica," Schafer stressed.
He cited the present Trinidad and Tobago team as an example, in which the twin-island republic has a number of European-based players mixed with locally-based players.
Schafer noted that the team needs leaders, three of four players who have the trust of the others, and players who will need support from the technical staff. "They will have to form the spine of the team," Schafer said.
Still, he lamented the short time to prepare teams, since he has been here, but he takes it in stride.
"This new team we have had only two days training, which is not enough. We played our last four games in the World Cup qualifiers against teams who were in the Gold Cup, where they played together for nearly a month, while our team came together only a few days before each game. This is not possible, but for me it is not important.
"What is important now is development. We had a meeting with the players this morning and we discussed the game, the mistakes and things that were not good. Mistakes are different from things that are crazy. I want them to make fewer mistakes the more games we play," he said.
In further explaining his point, the coach said if it were just to get a win, then he could put enough players behind the ball and probably hope for a goal from a set piece, but that was not the intention.
The intention is to try to play good, constructive football, the way it is to be played. He's also willing to give the players the freedom to express themselves, and hopefully minimize on past mistakes.
"Probably you will see different players the next time we play, because though I'm prepared to give players the chance to prove themselves, if they don't show that they are capable of learning from their mistakes, then they will not be in the list going forward."
Squad: Richard McCullam, Gariece McPherson, Je-Vaughn Watson, Dicoy Williams, Montrose Phinn, Alvas Powell, Darren Mattocks, Omar Daley, Deshorn Brown, Jermaine Anderson, Kemar Lawrence, Michael Seaton, Jason Johnson, Jermaine Woozencraft, Andrew Vanzie, Adrian Reid, Brian Brown, Upston Edwards.

Ok people ‘sup for Nov 19th. We kept a clean sheet for the game in Yard. Now iz time to explode in de Hasely, honour "Me mum" and “Los" with tactical substitutions at the right time and destroy the visitors till it makes Reggaefan cry. Hope we have TV coverage and radio station coverage for this event. Bateau and Hoyte performed a well executed hit and run representing T&T well for the first downpayment and have returned to Belgium and England respectively. Now iz Mitchell's time. Put Cyrus on the wing to lock dong whoever is Jamdown's danger speedster- winger. Would love to see Joevein and Guerra play at the same time but doh want to remove Cyrus on the left for Jones so I eh sure how to do it unless we bring Jovein inside to central mid at the expense of one of the defensive mids, risking turnovers and counterattacks with all dah dribbling he doses do.

keon finished....
i wouldn't waste guerra on the left wing, playing behind KJ is the best thing for him.. i still feel lester should play the left winger with boucard on the right, drop guerra in the center...
for this coming game, carlos will do fine on the right wing, or right back, so i guess it depends, that formation can change drastically

Have to give Hart a lot of credit for shaping this team and winning the affection, trust and discipline of the players. Maybe it's too soon to pile on the praises because where we were to where we are isn't really significantly awarding in terms of us been a powerhouse, however, it does give us hope that we have something to look forward to for the future.

from my recollection of ustream it saves the video files locally (on ur pc).
Anyway from my experience streaming, I strongly recommend using open broadcaster, because it's free, also it's not really a resource hog and its much faster than any other software/better quality.
Link for OB: http://obsproject.com/
And just make a twitch.tv account (it works really well @ 1020p)
I don't like livestream software.. its really buggie.. xsplit kinda sucking these days as well.
If SWO needs help (configuring etc) let me know(there is also a 64bit version that is recommended).

But lets not get ahead of ourselves. The JA team was a make shift experimental team. Their European based players were not present. and 5 or 6 MLS boys were present. The truth is that JA has more depth than TT at the moment. I believe they can fill all eleven spots with European based players if they wanted to. But whether that will work for them is another story. My point is that the real test for TT will come when JA finds the right mixture of local and foreign based. TT is ahead of them in this area..
I calling this now for tomorrow TT 2 - 1 JA.

By Ian Burnett (Jamaica Observer)
He's only 17 and a half year old, but stands at 6'1" and tips the scales at 186 lb. He's confident, self-assertive even, fearless, yet fully prepared to put in a shift for his team.
He's DC United's striker Michael Seaton, who debuted for Jamaica's senior Reggae Boyz in last Friday's 0-1 loss to Trinidad and Tobago at the Montego Bay Sports Complex.
The rookie entered the field at the start of the second-half alongside Montego Bay United's midfielder Jermaine Woozencraft, and the duo proceeded to inject new life into the home side's play as the Boyz rallied to tip the balance back into their favour, though the equalising goal never materialised.
The coaching staff was pleasantly surprised with Seaton's 45-minute display.
"I was quite impressed with him, seeing him from the Under-17s, he has never impressed me at that level, but one thing, he has grown and he has matured, seemingly, he came on and did extremely well," enthused Vin Blaine, assistant head coach of the Reggae Boyz.
"He showed composure on the ball, he showed maturity, his movement off the ball, I think, had changed the game up top. You could see that there was some mobility up front that we were not getting in the first half, so with that in mind I'm really impressed with him now," added Blaine, who noted that at times during the game Seaton's play belied his tender age.
Added Blaine: "Definitely he is one for the future and he wants to play for Jamaica. What I also liked about him was that he was enjoying his game, he wasn't intimidated by the fact that he was playing against people who were much older than him, and for a moment I lost the fact that he was only 17, but he looked great.
"I think the coach was pleasantly surprised by his play and his inclusion was based on how well he performed in training; there was just something about him in training the day before that piqued the coach's interest and he brought him in over more experienced players and I think that augurs well for him in the future."
For Seaton, who migrated to the United States of America almost 10 years ago, this has been a meteoric start to his professional career.
He started the season at DC United in Major League Soccer, was lent out to Richmond Kickers in the lower USL, and before he knew it, he's been drafted into the national senior team. But he's not complaining.
"It was great," he told the Jamaica Observer with a childish laugh yesterday.
"Coach said to me that in the second half I was going to go in, but going in was not overwhelming because I wasn't nervous like I usually am. I felt good and my first touch was positive, that's the main thing when I go in a game, if the first touch is good, then overall your game is going to be good, and every time I touched the ball I never lost it, so I felt good," he reflected.
Seaton has admitted that head coach Winfried Schafer is yet to review his game in a one-on-one situation, but he revealed that he has had encouraging words from the other members of the technical staff.
Throughout the interview Seaton's joy at his senior debut was evident, but he has claimed that his mother, Kamone Lee Henry, enjoyed it even more.
"I enjoyed it, but my mom enjoyed it even more than me," he said. "She called me right after the game and my grandmother was there and they told me I played great and that people behind them in the stands were saying who's that, he's a baller and things like that, so that was good."
The player also noted that he was surprised when his mother got a telephone call from team manager Roy Simpson that he was invited to the national team for the two friendly games.
Seaton was a member of the Jamaica Under-17 team which failed to qualify for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup during the CONCACAF Championship in Panama earlier this year.
But he is more than happy with his first season as a professional, even if it didn't start as well as he would have liked.
"I am a forward so they (DC team management) expect that if I can't turn and dribble a guy, then hold the ball up and that's what I lacked at pre-season because I'm not going to lie, because every time I touched the ball in pre-season I was on my face on the ground, but now I'm putting people on the ground, so it is a lot of change.
"I didn't get significant playing time at DC United, I got one 90-minute game, but not much after that. You have to give a young player a lot of minutes for him to go in there and shine, but they lent me out to Richmond Kickers in the USL where I played well, scored a number of goals (five in 10 matches). I know I could have scored a lot more goals, but it comes with development and learning the game.
"Next year I know I can go up to 10 goals easily because I hit the post a couple of times and the goalkeepers made some incredible saves."
The player, who patterns himself off Liverpool and Uruguay striker Luiz Suarez, is hopeful of returning to DC United for preseason training and proving himself good enough to earn a place in the first team.
"I'm gonna go in preseason in Indonesia with the team and I'm going to show them that I should be starting, not the first string forward, not the second string forward, I want to be the top forward and that's what I'm going to show them," he pledged.

Schafer desires improved performance from Boyz in T&T rematch
Jamaica's Reggae Boyz and Trinidad's Soca Warriors will conclude their two-game friendly international series dubbed 'Caribbean Clasico' at the Hasely Crawford Stadium here at 8:00 pm (7:00 pm Jamaica time) today.
The hosts won the first leg 1-0 last Friday at the Montego Bay Sports Complex courtesy of a fifth-minute strike by Finnish-based player Ataulla Guerra. It marked the first victory for the twin-isle republic away to Jamaica since 1949 and the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) is revelling in breaking the jinx.
At a pre-game press conference mid-afternoon at Trotters Restaurant yesterday, Sheldon Phillips, general secretary of the TTFA, noted that today's game will take on "heightened significance" with Trinidad and Tobago achieving that.
"We are certainly pleased to host our friends and we believe our key partners in the rise of Caribbean football. These are exciting times for our region and our fans will have the chance to witness both teams begin their march to 2018."
Phillips further noted that this match carries added significance, as it will serve as an opportunity to publicly acknowledge and thank Chris Birchall, the Port Vale player, who earlier in his international career became a fan favourite, and with his goal against Bahrain, which helped Trinidad and Tobago to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Finals in Germany, became a legend.
The TTFA will also use the game to acknowledge the contributions of Carlos Edwards, the Ipswich Town player, who will not be retiring from international football, but will be honoured for his service to the TTFA, in this the 14th and final international for 2013.
For Jamaica's German head coach Winfried Schafer, the main plan is for his team to show improvement from last Friday's offering.
"The result is not very important, it is secondary, what is important is the players, the development of the players... I want to see tomorrow (today) that they learn from the last match and that they minimise their mistakes," he said.
He added that he was happy for these two games as they provide the local-based players and those in the US Major League Soccer with experience.
"The first 15 minutes there were mistakes as the players were nervous and Trinidad had some chances," Schafer added. "We spoke at half time and in the second half we played very well, but our problem, as in the qualifiers, is that we don't have enough players to score goals."
Schafer said that he told journalists in Jamaica that everybody should give support to the players, even when they make mistakes, as that is the only way they can develop and the team progress.
And with that in mind the coach appears set to wring the changes for today's game, if yesterday's final training session outside the Hasely Crawford Stadium, but within the complex, is anything to go by.
In his walk through of the team there appears to be five changes from the starting XI from last Friday. Richard McCallum remains in goal, guarded by Upson Edwards and Alvas Powell in central defence, flanked by Kemar Lawrence on the left and Adrian Reid on the right.
Captain Je-Vaughn Watson and Jermaine Woozencraft, the busybody central midfielder who clearly earned the right after impressing in last Friday's game, will anchor the midfield with Omar Daley and Jason Johnson on the flanks. Teenager Michael Seaton looks set to make his first start, alongside Deshorn Brown.
For the homeside, coach Stephen Hart said he would continue to experiment with the squad.
"This is a unique opportunity for us to play two matches home and away as I said when the game was announced. It sort of mirrors what is necessary if you are trying to qualify and I would like to thank the Jamaica Football Federation for working in co-ordination with us to provide this opportunity," he said yesterday.
"It also gives me an opportunity to continue to experiment with the team, with players, to mix and match and evaluate players by seeing them in international competition, and though this game is billed as a friendly, the spirit in which it was played in Jamaica was excellent but very competitive, and in order to raise standards that is necessary."
There is no question that the home side will be strengthened by the addition of Edwards and Birchall, and with captain Kenwyne Jones also available, but Scharfer's main desire in this rebuilding phase is to see his team serve up an improved showing, final result aside.
Jamaica's squad: Richard McCullam, Gariece McPherson, Je-Vaughn Watson, Dicoy Williams, Montrose Phinn, Alvas Powell, Darren Mattocks, Omar Daley, Deshorn Brown, Jermaine Anderson, Kemar Lawrence, Michael Seaton, Jason Johnson, Jermaine Woozencraft, Andrew Vanzie, Adrian Reid, Brian Brown, Upston Edwards.

By Ryon Jones (Jamaica Gleaner)
Je-Vaughn Watson was left disappointed after his first match as captain of the country's senior men's football team ended in defeat. They were clipped 1-0 by Trinidad and Tobago at the Montego Sports Complex, Catherine Hall, St James, on Friday night.
"It was a wonderful feeling and a beautiful achievement, but unfortunately, we didn't come away with a result," Watson shared. "A win or a draw would have been better for the first time."
Ataulla Guerra scored the game's lone goal in the fifth minute and the Jamaicans were unable to find an equaliser.
"As the Captain (Horace Burrell) said, 'we are in the rebuilding process,' but that is no excuse for us to lose to Trinidad," reasoned the 30-year-old midfielder.
"This was more than a game, it was a rivalry match. So it is not just about playing football, it takes heart and courage to win this game."
The 22-man squad for the match consisted mainly of local-based players, including schoolboys Isamnia Cohen of Manchester High and Khesanio Hall of St Elizabeth Technical. Only seven United States-based players were invited, and Watson believes this is the correct approach during this rebuilding phase.
"I think the federation is pushing in the right direction by using a lot of local-based players to give them the experience," Watson said. "Coming from Jamaica, I play with a lot of heart and guts, and I think that's what we need to push towards the next World Cup."
STAND BY TEAM
The former Sporting Central Academy player, who is currently plying his trade for FC Dallas in Major League Soccer, is asking the Jamaican public to stand by the team despite their disappointment after a failed World Cup campaign.
"We know we didn't play well in the qualifiers and we know that people are still upset about it, but we still need the support of the fans."
Watson plans to start the process of getting back the fans on the team's side with a win over Trinidad and Tobago in tonight's return match.
"We have to go out there and win this game because they came here and won," Watson said. "It is not easy to go overseas and win, but we think we are better than this Trinidad team by two goals."
The game was the 30th for Watson representing the Reggae Boyz and despite having played in World Cup qualifiers, Gold Cup and Caribbean Football Union Championships, he deemed Friday's match to be one of his best moments in football.
"The coach came to me and asked, 'Do you want to lead the team'? And I said 'sure', without hesitation," Watson related.
"Not a lot of players get to play for the national team, let alone to captain the team. So I think this is one of my biggest achievements in football."

Due to broadcast rights restrictions, our Media team will only be able to do provide pre-game, half-time, and post-game coverage.
Maybe we can set up a channel that is password protected to where only SWO viewers can participate in the coverage?
I understand how the media rights works but if it's for personal viewers then it's different. Let me know I can make it happen.
I do have my own channel and the equipment as well, all I need is the source. Pm me if anything.

A 1-0 or 2-0 T&T victory will do a lot to shut the arrogant Jamaicans up but if the Jamaicans bring their A game and we don't score our chances then I'll settle for a 0-0 draw.

I forgot about the match until Grimm had finished at 10:00 pm. Then I remembered and when to Futbol24 to check the score. Jamaica 0- T&T 1.
Nonchalantly, "Jamaica lose 1 nil." I told my girlfriend.
She shrugged, "Ehh!" Looking up from her ebook for a second. "Jamaica will win in T&T and all will be square."
"Yeah! You right." I put the laptop down on the table and sat down to watch another exciting episode of Person of Interest.

Each win helps to create more self belief, more momentum, more fans coming back
Each talent like Guerra who scores creates options for BraveHart knowing that Molino is right there waiting to wear the #10 juzzy too.
New strikers for the future like Winchester being developed.
Defenders becoming stalwarts. Notice the trend in clean sheets. Very good sign. Note Clint Marcelle referring to Cyrus as a fortress.
Everybody got a good run .... Birchall got a good send off after reminding the crowd what his right foot rockets look like.
Carlos was there too and that was nice. Good appreciation for him
Overall a sweet result. Hard luck Yardies.
Remember this win achieved with no Molino, Hyland, Hoyte, Hector, Primus, Roberts, Glen, Bateau, Power, Julius, Keon Daniel.
Very encouragingly deep squad.
Remember we winning without

Theobald..bleh
Birchall decent last game. Crowd really appreciated him
Carlos, if that's his las game I feel kinda sorry for him cuz he has definitely done better before
Jan looked not himself in d first half but never really tested
Winchester was being shouted down by part of the crowd, really enjoyed laughing at them and reminding them they wanted him subbed when he earned the pen
Tulla, I really enjoy watching him play
Boucaud had some mistakes early but settled and showed his quality
I am honestly really excited to see how this team will continue

Shotta in hiding tonight. He en see Rundell performance on d wings, good to see FOUR Tobago players on this team as well and getting game time :beermug: :beermug:.... Well done to the team more of the same next year ;D
Didn't get to see the full match sadly, but, I had the pleasure of listening to Mr.Corneal casting :banginghead: however grateful some things he said was a bit harsh/unprofessional to say the least. No need for that, he, Birchall will always be remembered as a hero, because that's what he is to many of us.
Not to discount Winchester, most of us want to see our favorite players on the field, still haven't seen him play yet but I've watched Plaza, and it's easy on the eyes, with him in the squad you know tnt going down fighting. Winchester is young, tonite he won us a penalty and the team won us the game, as a fan it is encouraging to see positive results, it's the motivating factor when it comes to buying shirts and attending games, lets face it, no one wants to wear a losing teams shirt or watch your team losing.. esp with your company for eg. your family. it's really emotional when that happens but winning.. well it feels good doesn't it?
Never said I don't like the kid, but his introduction to the game was the main issue. Introducing a player is important, I am no head coach but I've watched the best, and the best usually introduce them after the game is secured rather than starting. I think the reason for this is so that the player don't feel he is already part of the squad but filling in the place of his departing teammate. It's also important to see what the player adds to the team currently a goal ahead. There is more... just busy atm.
The real question will happen when Plaza is fit, will it be fair to develop against a proven seasoned player, depends on the tactics.. ya, the coaches decision too, it's ok to express an opinion.
Birch.. will miss the guy, he made the team colorful..

Now...all this love for Birchy is well deserved but wha bout Carlos who, no disrespect to Birchy, has done yeoman service for T&T and will go down as one of our best EVER footballers. No love for Carlos? Isnt it his final appearance for T&T as well?
Post by: dwolfman on November 19, 2013, 10:56:41 PM
- Took in the game earlier. Was disappointed at the turn out. Against New Zealand we reached as the game started and had to sit down in line with a goal post. Today I reached as the teams were walking out and got a seat about 6 rows down and just about midway between the Jamaica goal (T&T goal for the second half) and the half line. Some friends arrived after kick off and we didn't have to hold the seats they got right by us.
- the football public does not like Kenwyne Jones. For every mistake he made, fair or not, they let him have it. Not everything they called a mistake I agreed with. It was almost as if he had to come out on top despite the pressure from defenders EVERY SINGLE TIME. When he made good plays though we either said nothing or continued to complain about a mistake he made previously. I braved some piccong to point this out during the second half, but the crowd was in a good mood by then and didn't take me on. Just before he was subbed out he made a hard 30-40 yard run back to tackle a Jamaican attacker. People bitterly complained that he did not get up and sprint forward to support the attack and his good defensive pressure was ignored.
- Guerra, Winchester (he was #13?) and #8 showed decent maturity and work rate. Guerra at times could have been a bit more aggressive in challenging for aerial balls, but that was a minor consideration against his good touch, willingness to attack the defenders and overall work rate. Both of our full backs were aggressive, yet controlled and our wing backs were willing to get forward on occasion. I would like to see them cross the ball a bit more though.
- Boucaud continued to impress in that holding midfield position. He presented for the ball early, protected it well, he made good safe passes in the middle zone of the field, but was also willing to take the ball forward and make more attacking passes. He and Birchall worked well together. Too bad we won't see that again.
I didn't know quite a few of the T&T players. I'm realising from this thread that Guerra was #10. Who was #19? Was that Mitchell? Except for Cyrus I didn't know any of the back 4 just by looking at them. Overall I felt that the game lacked the intensity that you'd expect from a T&T vs. Jamaica match. Especially the Jamaicans I felt didn't look the part and one would have thought they'd come into the match with fire in their belly considering the 0-1 loss at home. We settled fairly quickly and had good possession, using that as a foundation for dominating the game that was refreshing to see.
A nice build up with the #8 producing some good skill to get to the byline and cross found Kenwyne wanting. You'd expect an EPL striker to bury that comfortably. Hell, you'd expect players of less quality to have done better. We earned a lot of corners in the first half, but none looked likely to bring us a goal. You'd figure with Kenwyne on the team that we'd look a bit more threatening.
Coming out of the game though I saw the following:
What I liked about the performance is that while Jamaica were ordinary we just got on with the job and played to the game plan. We ensured that we took care of business and didn't give them any serious oportunities except for a freekick that Williams pushed around the post for a corner and a couple of blocked shots. My hope is that for Digicel Cup, when points are up for grabs, that we can reproduced. I wouldn't call it a polished performance, but it was a good one.

Carlos has not retired from international football. His appearances for T&T will be dependent on the coach selecting him.

So why was the game promoted as an opportunity for locals and to show appreciation for BOTH Carlos and Birchy?
Why did coach Hart in his interview after the first match in Jamaica say the 2nd match in Trini is an opportunity to say goodbye to Carlos and Birchy as they're "getting long in the tooth"?
And did Carlos himself not say he returning from international football just recently?
But my bad. Misunderstanding in my part as I get tie up with the appreciation for both Carlos and Birchy.

I saw someone comment about the football public not liking KJ . I'm one of them, he too old to not be able to trap and pass quickly and consistently. He actually didn't play his typical lazy man football but I figure he wanted to get back at the Jamaicans for a few rough tackles. He plays better angry it seems.
Guerra is just a player any Trinidadian would like, intelligence and flair. There's something different about him though. He presses more and fights for the ball in the air . He had a really solid game and lethal in the second half. You get the distinct impression that he can turn it on at will create something.
When Denzil came on there was a instant change in the mentality of the team. It was an instance that explained why he's been selected so many time. That man could jooks a football. Denzil came on brand shifted up a notch and rubbed the defeat in the eyes of the Yardies . We gave them the Ole treatment towards the end.
Stamp up these Jamaicans passport and tell dem thanks for coming allyuh reach home safe eh. T&T 2 - Jamaica 0 . I'm not trying to be gracious in victory at all I really just to beat them.
Side note:
The marketing for this game was absolutely absent and the ticket is not attractive. The tickets should be $40 to get people in the stands . They should look to generate revenue through tv , sponsorship and merchandising and not through gate receipts . All they doing is killing the loyal customer. It was nice to see the kits being sold outside the stadium but still not in stores which is disappointing for me. The next thing is which kit we actually playing in. So far we have used 3 joma designs on the field since July .

Its either Hart is a hell of a coach, or TT has more talent than I give us credit for. Isn't last night's squad supposed to be an 'understrength' team?
Though they made mistakes here and there, and we have to take into consideration JA's team was allegedly understrength as well, I think the team did extremely well.
Haven't seen a TT team keep shape like that since Leo.
Boucaud is my type of player. Simple, neat and keeps the ball moving. His positioning was very intelligent last night.
Guerra is a lovely #10. Not shy to shoot or take players on, and he is no coward defensively either.
Dis Winchester boy.....he's 19 I hear. In two years, after he improves his crossing and decision making, he'll be real trouble. Love his speed and confidence. Who found him?
Over the past 3/4 games I find myself warming to KJ. His control is still poor, finishing still weak, but his link up play seems to have improved a lot. He really is a handful for defences and creates space for his teammates.
Abu Bakr like he came out to give Hart a selection headache. He wasn't playing in the back. Strong in the tackle and generally looked solid.
Ahhh Carlos.....thanks alot for the service, but you didn't look good at all last night. Hope it was just last night, but age has a way it catches up to all of us.
Seeing good things if we continue in this vein.
Should be dominating the Caribbean again soon....then we'll see what we can do in Concacaf

We got a whisper that there were a couple of boys from Tobago setting the Super League alight. Both Stokely Vale and Phoenix were tearing up Pro League teams in the F.A. Trophy so we checked them in action.
Sancho went over to talk to Winchester's family. His cousin is Daneil Cyrus. The other player was Darren Mitchell.

We have to knock them out early, if we sit down because we worried they coming hard, then we go end up chasing de game and lose.
We not playing fear football. This stupid captain of Jamaica say that they are 2 goals better than us. It is the boasting that drives me from liking them. I always try to give some respect but these peeps boast too much. I say 3 -1 in our favor this evening.

We need to keep playing and we can start with a match against Guyana and put a licking pon de rass.Not much benefit in T&T playing and beating Guyana right now as they are currently 114 in the FIFA Rankings which is way below our 81 rank and our ranking should improve when the new table comes out at the end of November.
I think our next four regional opponents we should seek to play friendlies against are Haiti, Cuba, Panama and Venezuela who are all ranked higher than us in the FIFA Rankings and should give us difficult tests both at home and away in their territory.
Don't see the point of playing Guyana right now unless its in a competition like the Caribbean Cup.

Haiti (80)
Dominican Republic(78)
Cuba (74)
Panama (36)
Honduras (34)
Costa Rica (31)
Mexico (24)
United States (13)
Set up the USA game! :p. From a cynical perspective there are a couple teams over-ranked that would help us; Switzerland (7), Bosnia-Hertzegovina (16), Armenia (38), Cape Verde islands (42). If we had the money a match against any of these would be excellent (a draw against Switzerland would give us a lot of points).
To be honest we'll move up a hella lot - the two wins against Jamaica are worth double the points we got in the whole of last year.

There are only 8 teams higher than us in the rankings. In reverse order;Not too sure about that because Jamaica is currently ranked one place below T&T in the FIFA Rankings and you don't gain as many points in friendlies as you do in an official FIFA recognized International competitions.

Also because our Association is struck for cash and staff are still owed salaries, I think it is more realistic (less expensive) for us to play countries in our own region for now than to play countries in Europe and theses other regions unless they are willing to help sponsor the trip to host T&T in their country.
For now I think we should concentrate on playing countries in our region like Haiti, Cuba, Panama & Venezuela.
Teams like Mexico and USA we can play once we have moved into the top 40 in the FIFA Rankings after more positive results and they can actually see the benefit of testing themselves against T&T.
While our FIFA ranking is outside of the top 40 I don't think either the USA or Mexico will be that interested in playing T&T in a friendly or outside of a tournament.
Also we can probably play a friendly against Canada as Mr Hart might enjoy proving a point or maybe not since he spent so much of his career grooming Canadians players and teams.

On the fifa websitr you can calculate points. The two matches against jamaica are worth 450 or so points where we got like 200 odd points in 2012Okay cool, that was probably due to not playing many games and not getting enough positive results in the ones we played before SH got on board.

There are only 8 teams higher than us in the rankings. In reverse order;I'm not entirely sure how you came up with the above mentioned teams being over-ranked but Switzerland and Cape Verde are excellent teams. If TnT were to come away with a victory over either of these, we would have accomplished much.

Trust me I ain't saying they're easy - but there are clearly more than 7 teams better than Switzerland and more than 42 teams better than Cape Verde in my opinion, making them "over ranked" in a strict sense. I mean Cape Verde are ranked higher than Japan (44), Egypt (51), Korea (56), Australia (57), and Israel (66)

I made a point about the game i.e I pointed out that the Jamaicans offered little or no pressure on top neither in the midfield..the result was censorship..why not just ban me so that I can't post anything anymore.

Simple Mr Cooper TT will lose our shirt. I read where it cost about 1 mil US (appearance fee) for those teams, plus all expenses for a party of 35 people. All expenses is, First class travel, 5 star hotel, meals and all ground transportation. To make that back and just break even you would have to charge over 300 us a ticket.

we don't need to spend that type of money to play those teams.. instead of brazil we can play a team like ecuador or venezuala and get a great game and practice out of it or play a team like finland or denmark instead of holland, or play a team like poland instead of germany or romania.. that fits our budget and will give us the right prep... spending money playing brazil proves nothing, unless we qualified for 2018... then yea lets get the big friendlies of that caliber..

Cape Verde would be a decent team to play. They have been around a while. They just start doing what other countries do. Use players whose parents are from CV. Lots of Portuguese and possible US born players. That is why their standards have jumped a couple notches. The country to watch out for in the furure is Equatorial Guinea. They have lots of petro dollars and doing a whole lot of development. Unfortunately they have a strongman PM. But the Chinese built some stadiums for them recently. They came also use immigrants from Spain to play for them. They were a former Spanish colony.

Everybody talkin bout how great things are going right now..I hope this can continue into the future. I sincerely hope that we can beat Jamaica when it matters. We always seem to be able to beat important teams in unimportant games. We haven't been able to dominate Jamaica when we really need to i.e a world cup qualifier..even with our best players. I can see improvement since Hart has taken over. He has been able to bring organization and confidence back. This, however is not nearly enough to get us to a world cup. The way forward is for the Technical Director or the Director of Football sit down with all the National Coaches and plan the way forward. There is a lot of work to be done..if we had to prepare for world cup qualifiers starting after the WC, going along the same way we are going right now, we would fall short. We are in stop gap mode. I know this the because the youth program is no program at all.

We going into a friendly...what kind of preparation is being put in with a nucleus of players?
Are we going to continue with this style of team selection patterned after the developed world which is so rich in the abundance of quality players?
This method of selection and preparation will only produce mediocre results..
This National coach takes the safe road...he takes no chances with his career...he has the formula on mediocrity..
He knows how to field a team that performs creditably...
There is no way anybody can keep doing the same exact thing ..it doesn't matter how many times ..and expect a different result each time.
