Very interesting - but they should already have rights to players overseas as this is an official tournament that officially qualifies teams for the Gold Cup, an official tournament, so convenience or respect for footballing calendars is probably the reason.
Breds, how long you into this football business. Them clubs not releasing players for CFU tournament. Gold Cup, WC and Olympics(maybe). The tournament is in May, that is after the season, most of them should be available. WC is in June.

The most important games in the CFU cup is the group stage because the top 2 Qualify for the GC
The foreign based boys will have games on the weekend of the 8th Nov.
It would be best If the CFU tournament can start on the Wednesday 12th so you can have group games with the best quality. It makes no sense having a game from the Monday or Tuesday with reserves then having the full compliment from Wednesday
Fixture Schedule should be :
Wed 12th- Group A matchday 1 (2 games)
Thursday 13th- Group B matchday 1 (2games)
Friday 14th- Group A matchday 2 (2 games)
Saturday 15th- Group B matchday 2 (2 games)
Sunday 16th- Group A matchday 3 ( 2 games)
Monday 17th- Group B matchday 3 (2 games)
Tuesday 18th- Off
Wednesday 19th- Semis
Thursday 20th- Off
Friday 21st- Final
The Gold Cup qualification is so valuable to teams because it offers you a chance to be in competitive competition with Concacaf's best at top class facilities while giving the coach a chance to work with his best group of players for 2-3 weeks.
Priceless importance.

The way it's arranged at the moment isn't ideal, but it's better than nothing.
There are problems as it stands as FIFA's international calendar only allows for 2 match dates between 10 and 18 November. Perhaps this means that the 'big guns' as it were can only play in 2 games of the final tournament, unless the player's club says it's ok.

Post by: Deeks on March 20, 2014, 09:09:42 AM
It does seem strange that a national qualifying competition cannot be considered important enough to release players, you'd think the Caribbean nations can use their stranglehold of CONCACAF to demand some action really.
After 20 something years of Jack, CFU has to thread carefully with their votes. And most of the members, for now, will go along with Concacaf. We will see how they do in the future.
Post by: BBL on March 26, 2014, 05:38:11 PM
Group 5 will consist of:
- Antigua
- Dominican Republic
- St Vincent & the Grenadines
- Anguilla

Why don't CFU release the whole draw instead of drip feeding us like this?

"Can't write off Trinidad and Tobago... They're a top quality team... They too fancy themselves as favourites... Joevin Jones is the intriguing one and it could be important for him... Heard rumours that MLS teams are interested in him - he's too good for the Pro League, so could be good tournament for him. Daniel Cyrus too... Kevin Molino is in form too - could be a breakout player... A lot of young players looking to prove themselves in contrast to Jamaica... They might be in a better mental state of mind, able to discover players they might not have otherwise had they been in the final round of the WC Qualification"
"Kenwyne Jones seems lazy, hopefully this will bring out the best in him.... Doesn't seem to turn up, doesn't track back or put the effort in - is he the right captain for T&T? IT'll be the last competition for him to make a big impact so it'll be interesting to see if he can make something and put the effort in - he's an enigma"
"Will Plaza - got quite a few goals for T&T and could be heir to Jones... "waiting in the wings"]
"Haiti in transitional period... Showed decently in the Gold Cup..."
Both us and Jamaica have a bunch of juicy friendlies set up, basically of the opinion that it's Jamaica, T&T and Cuba who have a shot.

Caribbean News Now
BRADES, Montserrat -- Montserrat has stepped into the breach to host one of the tournaments in the pre-qualifying round of matches in the 2014 Caribbean Football Union Men’s Caribbean Cup.
From May 30 to June 3, teams representing Bonaire in the Dutch Caribbean, the US Virgin Islands and Montserrat will battle it out for a qualifying place in round two of the regional tournament.
The games to be played in Montserrat at the new football complex were previously planned for Dutch St Maarten.
Montserrat’s new football complex was funded by the International Football Federation (FIFA) through its FIFA Goals Project.
Over 100 visiting players and officials are expected for the tournament, which locally will feature some of the region’s best up and coming footballers, including the UK-based young Montserratians, one of whom has been selected for the England Under-21 squad.
In making the announcement, president of the Montserrat Football Association Vincent Cassell said there is high anticipation in many respects for the games to be played here.
“It suggests confidence in the Montserrat Football Association,” he said, adding that they are “working feverishly” to put the finishing touches to the local FIFA-sponsored stadium, which can seat around 500 spectators with additional capacity around the grounds.
Cassell also stated that the local facility, built to international standards, will be one of the few purpose-built football stadiums of its kind in the area with all of the features that teams, officials and fans could expect.
Montserrat is in an extensive rebuilding phase in the northern part of the island, after the Soufriere Hills volcano destroyed the capital Plymouth and rendered about two-thirds of the island uninhabitable.
About 5,000 people now live in the northern safe zone after more than the half the population were forced to flee the island due to the volcanic eruptions.
In recent years, the volcano has quietened down and the northern area, which has not been affected by the eruptions, has seen a rapid spate of ongoing residential and commercial redevelopment.
Cassell said that hosting the games also brings huge bonuses to the local economy as well as to the development of football in Montserrat, which already has a large number of Montserrat-born or connected players in the English Premier League and other levels of UK football.
“Three properties joined together to host the teams and officials... and one hotelier has described as a shot in the arm during this ‘hard guava crop time’ as she described it,” he said.
Spin-off business benefits are also in store for restaurants, taxis and car rental companies.
But it’s in the benefits to local football that the MFA president sees the biggest advantage.
“Well, you can’t measure the sort of effect a tournament like this would have on football in Montserrat,” Cassell declared.
The MFA has what Cassell described as “a vibrant youth program for boys and girls” who will now be exposed to top level regional football and will get the opportunity to interact with, especially players on the Montserrat team, some of whom are flying in from England where they are playing in national level teams. One of them, Donovan Daniel, has been selected for the England Under-21 squad.
Workshops are also planned for local football players and officials.

BBC sport
In a little under two months the Fifa World Cup returns to Brazil and the globe will be gripped by football fever, spare a thought for one nation who are languishing at the bottom of the rankings.
One quick glance at Fifa's most recent list and you will find the Turks and Caicos Islands at position 207.
They share the honour of being officially the world's worst international side with Bhutan and San Marino.
It's a fact that Craig Harrington cannot avoid, yet holds no relevance to the change he is trying to bring to the Caribbean island.
In January, the Turks and Caicos Islands Football Association appointed former LA Galaxy youth coach Harrington as their new technical director of football.
"People look at that ranking number and they see where we are in the world, I look at it as a false number" explains Harrington.
"It's not something that I am judged by and it's not something that will judge how successful we are here."
He succeeds fellow Brit Matthew Green in the post and wants to bring a new football direction to the British Overseas territory
Their football development was put into focus with the arrival of the Queen's Baton Relay on the islands.
The preliminary qualification rounds of the Caribbean Cup begin on the 28th May and provide the short term focus for Turks and Caicos, and chance to move up the FIFA rankings.
"We are excited about the Caribbean Cup - I believe we have a good chance," reveals Harrington.
They are joined in their qualification group with Aruba, British Virgin Islands and French Guiana.
The tournament also serves as a qualifier to the Concacaf Gold Cup .
"The players we have in the current pool can take us to the next step.
"Our goal is to get out of our group. I think it is attainable. If we get six points from the three games, that would be a huge success.
"I want to use the performance to inspire our youth players and give them a goal for the future."
Achieving that target would ensure the greatest football achievement in Turks and Caicos history and potentially a move from the dreaded bottom position in the rankings.
A former youth player at Swindon Town and Oxford United, Harrington had coached youth teams in the US for over a decade.
Before joining Turks and Caicos, Harrington was a coach at David Beckham's former club LA Galaxy. He explained his football philosophy is influenced by his time with the MLS side.
"I learnt a lot from watching Bruce Arena's first team coaching and Curt Onalfo, who is the Galaxy Two head coach. He has been a big influence on my career and is a mentor to me. "
His long-term plan for a football revolution on the islands will begin at a grassroots level.
"We are trying to create the culture and the infrastructure, so we can get young players playing and give them an opportunity to get off the island and play in different countries," he explains.
"Currently we have six players playing in America. We have one player who played professional in Gavin Glinton, who played in the MLS.
"We are investing in our coaching at grassroots level for the Under-11s, 15s and 16s. There are some really good players here.
"We want to get more players playing in the American college system, and they will help the national team.
"My personal measuring stick will be under-15 level. From there that will turn into under-20s and hopefully they can make the Olympics."
There might be light at the end of the tunnel for Fifa's bottom ranking team.

FGU 6 - 0 TCA
Another walk-over for FGU, begs the question why they were put in here where a team like Anguilla would have been better folly. Aruba will especially be unhappy about that - I'd have fancied Aruba to win the group if they didn't have FGU here.
Half time in the Bonaire-USVI game - 2-0 to Bonaire
Interesting game so far - first 20 minutes looked like Bonaire would walk all over them, but both teams looked very unfit half an hour in - 2/3 cramps! Was much more even/slower game after that.

I know some may say, we still have a little over 90 days but in actuality thats not a lot of time and considering the fact that the winners qualify for the Copa America we should take this serious as that could be a good set of games to use before our next set of WC qualifiers start back.
My Sheldon, we need you skills, make it happen my good man.
Lets for once go into a tournament fully prepared.

Wait are you referring to overseas based players? why can't we have a T&T team of local based players competing together against other teams and staying prepared for this tournament? Seems lack like 'more of the same' and lack of vision from management

Local players are still usually under contract. Since they're working the TTFA would still have to pay them for their time at the camp, and accommodation too. Vision is great, but you need the resources to effect such a thing.

Jamaican head coach Winfried Schaefer, who won the African Nations Cup in 2002 with Cameroon, was using the game as a warmup for the mid-November Caribbean Cup.
did we get any election buy outs in this last budget? Was any money allocated to the TTFA?

TTFA disconnected: Office staff unpaid and phone lines cut
Lasana Liburd (Wired 868) (http://wired868.com/2014/07/02/ttfa-disconnected-office-staff-unpaid-and-phone-lines-cut/)
By Phillips’ own calculations, the TTFA is at least $28 million in debt with the 2006 World Cup players, former head coach Russell Latapy and ex-technical director Anton Corneal among its more prominent debtors.

So once agin instead of getting personal by asking questions as to my personal interventions let's look at the issues that are inhabiting those who are entrusted to move the TTFA forward.
Clearly the answer should not be just about the provision or the attainment of funds. Our past has shown that when funds were readily available, alleged mismanagement or misappropriation of such funds have resulted in a situation we are in today. For years people have been clamouring for concrete sustainable programs and
development plans procedures that would see teams building capacity rather than infusing funds on short term national teams being put together for instant success.

I loathe to bring up the issue of race in this. Look at the racial composition of JA and look at the racial composition of TT. It is totally different. JA with all their problems does not have the racial issues that affects politics and business as TT. They are and have been a more cohesive country than us and Guyana. That is why they are able to use their Brand JA with success.
And if Mr. Tim Kee is not able to move the association out debt by next year, we should clamour for him to resign and look for somebody who can do the job.

What programs we have going? We doing the same thing that has always been done, prepare a couple months before the tournament. All these teams only playing because the tournaments collide with each other. Wait for these tourney to pass and lets see what happen.
The U17 went and play without proper prep.
The U20 playing SL team to get ready
The Women struggle to go Houston and that still piece-piece (even though it was placed in their lap)
The women now have 5 weeks to get ready to play the #1 team in the world
What is the Men's team doing this past International break?
Maybe I expecting to much, after all is only T&T.

People who defending TTFA, kind of between a rock and a hard place. We apparently failed to realize the deep latrine hole Warner has left this organization in. He has left the organization with a massive debt, and has no remorse about. All of us are disappointed in Tim Kee because we thougt that he would been able to get the people with money in TT to bail out the association. Well that appears not to have happened. Mr. Tim Kee has not been able to get the money men of TT on his side. He is an insurance executive(I think), so we thought he was in the circle where he could influence these people to save TTFA. Well we wrong. Right now Mr. Tim Kee has to get massive financial assistance from somewhere to get the association on their feet. They can forget about the gov't. Tim Kee is a PNM. This gov't is not giving any PNM politician anything over the required amount that they supposed to get. Even if PNM was in power, the TTFA has to do something different to attract investors.

Maybe race has something to do with it, maybe not... but either way there's a lot of corporate apathy in Trinidad, no different from the TnT public. Everybody want to jump on board hot and sweaty when the team doing well, but when the team struggling nobody give a fart. The TTFA has had commitments from would-be corporate sponsors, signed agreements, which the sponsors then decide to back out of and not honor. The only way to force them to honor the commitment is to take them to court... but we know how that story goes. So in the mean time, publicly they getting pong fun "not doing anything." Yuh can't wring water from a stone, the best yuh could do is keep on trying. Trying not enough fuh some though... they want results, by hook or crook.

Record eight-time Caribbean Football Union Cup winners, T&T Soca Warriors will kick off their 2014 Second Round qualifying campaign against Dominican Republic on Wednesday October 8 in the feature match of a double-header at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo.
In the opening match of the Group Seven qualifiers, Antigua and Barbuda faces St Lucia.
The Stephen Hart-coached Soca Warriors will then face St Lucia on October 10 before closing out group play against Antigua & Barbuda two days later, at the end of which the top two teams from the pool will advance to the Final Round eight-team tournament scheduled for Montego Bay, Jamaica from November 10-18 for which host and five-time champion Jamaica, and defendig champion Cuba have already qualified. The top four teams from the finals will qualify to the Concacaf Gold Cup next year.
In the two other second-round series, 2007 champions Haiti host St Kitts/Nevis, Barbados and French Guiana in Group Eight while Guadeloupe entertains Curacao, 1993 winner Martinique and St Vincent and The Grenadines in Group Nine.
The trio of 2012 beaten finalist T&T, Guadeloupe and Haiti were handed byes into the second round while Martinique, Antigua & Barbuda, Curacao and St Kitts/Nevis qualified as first round group winners.
The quintet of St Vincent & The Grenadines, French Guiana, St Lucia and Barbados were group runners-up while Dominican Republic advanced as the best third placed team.
In the first round of qualifiers, Dominican Republic ended third in Group Five after hammering Anguilla 10-0 in its final match after losing to St Vincent and The Grenadines (0-1) and Antigua & Barbuda (2-1).
Antigua & Barbuda crushed Anguilla 6-0 and edged St Vincent and The Grenadines 2-1 in its other match for maximum nine points in the group while St Lucia ended second to St Kitts/Nevis on goal-difference both on seven points. The St Lucians drew 0-0 with St Kitts/Nevis pipped Dominica 2-1 and blanked Guyana 2-0.
The CFU second round qualifiers are expected to be played during a Fifa international window, meaning coach Hart will be able to call his overseas professional should he choose too.
However, the Soca Warriors have not play any matches since facing this year’s Fifa World Cup participants Argentina (0-3) on June 4 and Iran (0-2), four days later and its left to be seen, who Hart will call up to his teamas the local Digicel Pro League is yet to kick off as well.
A source for coach though is the fact that T&T defeated all three of its group opponents in their last encounters, 4-0 over Antigua & Barbuda in 2012; 3-0 against St Lucia in 2010 and a a 9-0 hammering of Dominican Republic in 2008.

Jonathan Glenn, Kenwyne Jones, Kadeem Corbin, Shahdon Winchester.
I eh know if Daniel Cyrus and Hughtun Hector will get release, but Nicholas Walker might be a good replacement for Cyrus and Andre Fortune for Hector.
Jamal Gay doing decent to since they send him in defense midfield, maybe a good replacement for Hyland as Hyland don't play well for T&T anymore.

By Lasana Liburd (Wired868.com)
Twenty-nine-year-old Cardiff City forward Kenwyne Jones will make his regional debut for Trinidad and Tobago next month when he leads the “Soca Warriors” into the Caribbean Cup qualifying series in Couva.
Trinidad and Tobago opens its Caribbean Cup tournament against the Dominican Republic from 8.15 pm on Wednesday October 8 in the second game of a double header at the Ato Boldon Stadium.
Tickets are available at $100 for covered stands and $60 for uncovered stands while fans can purchase a special ticket to see all three games for $260.
The Caribbean Football Union’s decision to align its competitive matches with the FIFA international calendar means that, for the first time, national associations can select squads without conflict with foreign-based teams.
And Trinidad and Tobago head coach Stephen Hart will utilise that option as he confirmed, at a press conference today, that he is already assured of eight overseas players in his 20-man squad.
Apart from Jones, Belgium-based midfielder Khaleem Hyland (Racing Genk), England-based midfielder Andre Boucaud (Dagenham & Redbridge), Finland-based utility player Joevin Jones (HJK), the North American-based duo of Kevin Molino (Orlando City) and Carlyle Mitchell (Vancouver Whitecaps) and the Vietnam-based pair of Hughtun Hector and Daneil Cyrus (both Hanoi T&T) will all represent the Warriors in the qualifying stage.
Jones (J), Mitchell, Hector, Molino and Cyrus all participated in the 2012 Caribbean Cup in which the Warriors finished second to Cuba.
Hart explained that the remainder of his squad will be released next week as the TTFA has appealed to the CFU for permission to change its initial shortlist due to injuries.
The head coach suggested that an inability to work with more local-based players, due to a lack of funding for camps or their unavailability through trials, prompted him to stick with his core group of players.
“It is no secret that we wanted to have a local group of players in camp and playing international games because that is the only way you can evaluate them,” said Hart. “… In terms of preparation, I have decided to go with a squad that is familiar with what I have been doing since I took over…
“It is either you go in those games blind not knowing how the players would respond internationally or you go with what is familiar. I chose the latter.”
Hart revealed that he included several national under-20 players in his initial CFU shortlist. However, he might be having second thoughts after he watched the likes of Levi Garcia, Jabari Mitchell, Martieon Watson, Nicholas Dillon and Matthew Woo Ling return to secondary schools football rather than seek out more competitive arenas. Garcia and Dillon are both attached to Central FC’s Pro League first teams.
“There are a few (under-20 players) that were on the 30-man (CFU) roster,” said Hart, “I do have some concerns though because some of them have chosen to play school football…
“Both myself and (national under-20 head coach) Derek King mentioned to them that, if you do have aspirations, you should play at the highest level possible. But I cannot make decisions for them; I can only advise.”
For those who do make the final 20-man squad, Hart suggested a rotation policy might mean playing time for his entire squad as a way of dealing with the CFU’s customary scheduling of three matches in five days. Although it is the same format followed by the national under-17, under-20 and senior women’s teams, the Warriors coach might be unwilling to cross swords with professional clubs on the matter.
“You have to play three games in the FIFA window with a day off in between each game,” said Hart, “and that in itself—I might stand to be corrected here—doesn’t exactly fall in line with FIFA’s medical guidelines.
“We have to be calculating in how we approach these games and our recovery between games.”
Hart pointed to internal problems as well.
Sixteen months into the job, the former Canada head coach admitted he has not been able to put a program in place to widen his player pool due to the TTFA’s financial shortcomings.
“We have not been in a position to run a consistent program to generate any sort of continuity,” he said. “I can only play the hand that was dealt and I think this is the best approach for this qualification round.
“I have submitted that I would like to play on FIFA dates and if the Pro League has a break… But I have no operating budget.”
At present, the Warriors players and staff are still owed match fees from their exhibition match against Iran in June while even bonuses due from the 2012 Caribbean Cup have not been paid. But Hart declined comment on any TTFA’s debts.
“Please take that up with (general secretary Sheldon) Phillips and (president Raymond) Tim Kee,” said Hart.
Hart is only the second coach to take Trinidad and Tobago into the knockout stage of the CONCACAF Gold Cup while the Warriors’ only defeats in 11 international outings came against 2014 World Cup finalists Argentina, Iran and Mexico and on penalties to the United Arab Emirates in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
He admitted the job was a tough one, particularly due to off the field issues, but suggested that he is committed to the team’s 2018 World Cup campaign.
“I came in here knowing the circumstances (and) it is probably worse than I thought,” said Hart. “But you cannot build anything from the outside… Players and staff have worked very hard to show we can get our part right and we will try to rectify the other parts as soon as possible.
“Yes (the debt to the players and staff) is an issue. But from a technical standpoint the players have responded on the field and taken their issues off the field with the management.”
Hart called on the media to play its part as well in promoting the local game. He suggested that television crews should stop filming games from the covered stands and shoot from the opposite end, so as to show the spectators who generally flock to the covered areas.
And he urged supporters to support their local players too.
“When you look at the (Caribbean Cup) Under-20 tournament that just finished, the quality of the football was not bad at all,” said Hart. “Personally I was a little disappointed in the (size of the) crowd… But it is just a matter of us continuing to do what we can do and try to get it right on the field. And hopefully if we get it right, the people would return to football.
“But if you look at all (levels) of football right now: colleges, Pro League (and) national team and you look in the stands you have to (tell) yourself there is a problem. And football without spectators is a sweat.”
For the first time since 1996, Trinidad and Tobago will be near full strength at the Caribbean Cup and there is a special incentive for the overall tournament winner who will participate at the 2016 Copa America champions alongside South American giants like Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia.

It was even added to the international calender so everyone will be there.
And I also agree that filming blue chairs never looks good. And exactly why do our stadiums have blue chairs. Was blue on discount. I would think the chairs would be red, so when the crowd is scanty it doesn't look to stark against the red-shirt supporters.

By Ian Prescott (Express).
England-based Cardiff City striker Kenwyne Jones has been named captain as Trinidad and Tobago will field its most star-studded senior national football team, for many a year, in the upcoming Caribbean Cup competition.
Trinidad and Tobago host one of three Caribbean Cup semi-final groups, which will see the top two teams of each joining champions Cuba and host Jamaica in the 2014 Caribbean Cup finals, to be held in Montego Bay, Jamaica, from November 9-19.
The Soca Warriors play the Dominican Republic (October 8.), St Lucia (October 10) and Antigua-Barbuda (October12). All matches will be played at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva.
National team head-coach Stephen Hart has submitted a 30-man roster to the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), but will only name his final 20-man squad next week. The team goes into camp on October 2 and sees its first action six days later against the Dominican Republic, the second match of an Ato Boldon Stadium double-header.
Vietnam-based midfielder Hughtun Hector gets his first call-up in two years, while Hart has also named Hector's Vietnam teammate defender Daneil Cyrus, Belgium-based Khaleem Hyland, USA-based Kevin Molino, Lester Peltier, English-born Andre Boucard and central defender Carlyle Mitchell, among the invited foreign-based players. Belgium-based former Central FC footballers Willis Plaza and Rundell Winchester are also under consideration.
The national head-coach has also invited some members of the national Under-20 team which was recently crowned Caribbean champions, but expressed alarm that some of these players have returned to a lower level of competition, by playing schoolboy football.
The aim according to Hart is to qualify for a second consecutive CONCACAF Gold Cup. Restricted by resources, Hart will go with a familiar model, using many of the players which lined up for the Soca Warriors against World Cup participants Argentina and Iran back in June.
Hart sees benefits from both Caribbean Cup semi-final and final matches being played within a FIFA international window for the first time. “It does allow us to have the international players and it makes a big difference to our selection,” Hart declared.
“The object is to qualify for the next stage, and then we build on that.” Hart had initially planned to have a locally-based team in training some time ago, but has been limited both by resources and the absence of available local players when they were not in the service of their local clubs.
"A large portion of the available local players were out of the country or on trials,”Hart said of his decision to call several foreigh-based players. Either you go blind, not knowing how a (new) player will react in a situation, or you go with something familiar.”
Hart is not pleased with the short preparation of the national team, and confesses that his work in Trinidad and Tobago had been hampered by a lack of resources by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA).
But the former Canada-based coach has vowed to develop the football brand on the field, along with his players, while leaving administration to the Association. He feels his players understand what he is trying to build and the financial reality.
“It is not ideal. It is the reality of our football today,” Hart said. “Our resources are at present very limited. I came in here knowing the circumstances,” adding, “It is probably worst than I thought, but we continue to build from the bottom up.”
Admission for matches in the Caribbean Cup qualifying stage is $100 for covered stands and $60 for uncovered. There will also be a three-day ticket at a cost of $260 in the covered stand. Children 12 & under free.

The vast majority of the best T&T players playing in foreign leagues. The rest who ply their trade in the PFL, by definition, are not as good.
As for players being called to the national teams solely because they play in Sweden and Finland, that's the reality. And that reality is an indictment of the state of football in T&T today. You mightn't like it, but it doesn't make it any less real.
Getting selected to the national team because you feelin sorry for somebody and want to give dem a bligh eh cutting it

So fast yuh tune change? Five weeks ago I said Kenwyne seemed to find his level and it engender all kinda long talk and condemnation from you.
Doh let facts stand in the way of healthy bias. One day he'll sign your flag.
Let's leave out his success at Stoke. Or his performances in Europe. Let's ignore his scoring rate being the best at the club even when he was only getting pigeon sweats.
Let's only focus on a bad last season at Stoke and pretend that's his whole career.
Meanwhile, even by your own estimation, 'mediocrity' would suggest that he's a middling, average Prem player. So yeah.

So fast yuh tune change? Five weeks ago I said Kenwyne seemed to find his level and it engender all kinda long talk and condemnation from you.Doh let facts stand in the way of healthy bias. One day he'll sign your flag.
Let's leave out his success at Stoke. Or his performances in Europe. Let's ignore his scoring rate being the best at the club even when he was only getting pigeon sweats.
Let's only focus on a bad last season at Stoke and pretend that's his whole career.
Meanwhile, even by your own estimation, 'mediocrity' would suggest that he's a middling, average Prem player. So yeah.
Is either yuh biased against him now... or was talking shit fuh de sake of talking shit.

My 'stance' in all things is being even-handed, free of preconception and without agenda. That means I try to give a fair assessment instead of defending some entrenched position or trying to win some talk. If part of the picture is being ignored, if arguments are presented without context, if comments come from a consistent history of bias, I'll try to round them out as best I can. This might seem like 'obfuscation' to you, but that's likely your combative nature at work. I'm discussing things on a discussion board, not competing in the ole talk lympics.If you ever determine what a non-declarative sentence is, it might help you find a way out of your current confusion.

Risible, self-serving and laughably inaccurate, given how readily you resorted to ad hominems in resort to the simple comment that Kenwyne seemed to have found "his level." The "history of bias" you claim conveniently ignores my praise for him and his captaincy in leading the effort in the Gold Cup last summer. Facts are inconvenient things sometimes and the fact is that KJ has shown greater consistency on the Championship level rather than the Premiership... and even that seems a stretch now. The obfuscation is your attempt to posit some "confusion" on my part, rather than exhibit some candor and admit that your suggestion (that he may have "found his level") is consistent with my own. There is actually nothing at all "combative" about my nature, not at home, not at work, not liming... and not "discussing things on a discussion board." Pointing out double-speak and hypocrisy isn't 'combat', and maybe if you weren't so beholden to your ego you'd recognize that.

The final tournament is in Jamaica..home of Sportsmax who Digicel just purchased. Should be easy right?
Secondly..ESPN Caribbean have 2 channels (75 and 76) on FLOW... Shaka Hislop works with them. Tallman, Flex can you guys email him and raise the question? Surely CFU would allow either ESPN or that joke of a channel Sportsmax to broadcast the region's premier Football Tournament.
Oh so you would think...it is CFU afterall.

TTFA Online
Trinidad and Tobago head coach Stephen Hart today announced his final 20-man squad to contest the semi-final round of the Caribbean Cup which kicks off next Wednesday versus Dominican Republic at the Ato Boldon Stadium from 8:15pm.
Hart will conduct his first training session with the squad on Saturday morning from from 9am at the Larry Gomes Stadium as the team heads into a live-in training camp.
His team is a formidable one with former national under 20 and W Connection defender Alvin Jones being the only relative newcomer while former National under 20 and Under 17 captain Leston Paul makes a return to the team.
Cardiff City forward Kenwyne Jones will captain the team which also includes US-based forward Trevin Caesar, Orlando City midfielder Kevin Molino, Slovakia-based winger Lester Peltier, US-based forward Cordell Cato of San Jose Earthquakes. Vietnam-based midfielder Hughtun Hector, Belgium-based midfielder Khaleem Hyland of Racing Genk, English-based duo Andre Boucaud and Justin Hoyte Belgium-based defender Sheldon Bateau and Joevin Jones of Finnish club HJH Helsinki.
Vancouver Whitecaps defender Carlyle Mitchell and Daneil Cyrus along with fellow defender Yohance Marshall, US-based midfielder Kevan George and Central FC midfielder Ataulla Guerra have also been named in the team while the two goalkeepers are Jan Michael William and Marvin Phillips.
“This is the 20-man squad we’ve decided on and we’ll get things off with a light session on Saturday. It’s good for them to come together again as we haven’t seen each other since the games against Argentina and Iran in June,” Hart told TTFA Media.
“The players appear to be very enthusiastic and the mood is quite good which is what we want heading into the competition. It’s important for us to have the right approach which I am quite confident the team will have because these are all professional players who are very committed to doing what is right for the team and their country,” Hart added.
Back in the 2012 Caribbean Cup finals T&T had to depend on goals from the late Kevon Carter and Molino to overcome Dominican Republic 2-1, a win that secured T&T’s 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup place. The Dominican Republic outfit this year includes three players based in Spain attached the reserve teams of teams in the Spanish La Liga. Forward Mariano is attached to the Real Madrid B team.
Cayetano 'Tano' Bartolomé Bonnín Vásquez, a 24-year-old centerback plays for Villarreal CF B which is the reserve team of Villarreal CF and plays in Segunda División B. Forward Edipo Rodriguez plays for Club Deportivo Numancia de Soria B, S.A.D. a Spanish sports club from Soria. They also have a player in midfielder Samuel Zayas who plays for Swiss First Division club Grenchen. Their most notable player on the international stage is Jonathan Fana, formerly of W Connection who has 18 goals in 28 matches for his national team.
T&T will also face St Lucia on October 10th at 8:15pm and Antigua/Barbuda on Sunday October 12th at 6:15pm. Wednesday’s opening match will feature St Lucia and Antigua/Barbuda from 6pm. They are vying for a qualifying spot in the Caribbean Cup Finals which takes place in Montego Bay in November. Admission for the games is $100 (covered) and $60 (uncovered).

Published: Tuesday, October 14, 2014
Cardiff City striker Kenwyne Jones is focused on the Soca Warriors ending a 13-year title drought when the 18th Caribbean Football Union Cup Finals comes off in Montego Bay, Jamaica from Novermber 10-17.
In the eight-team finals, the Soca Warriors, record eight-time champions with the last being in 2001, will do battle in Pool A along defending champion Cuba, Curacao and French Guiana while Pool A will feature three former winners in Haiti (2007), Jamaica (1991, 1998, 2005, 2008, 2010), Martinique (1993) and current top ranked CFU team, Antigua & Barbuda.
In Jamaica the top teams of Groups A and B will contest the final while the runners-up of each group will compete in the third and fourth place playoff.
All four teams competing on the final day will also qualify for next year’s Concacaf Gold Cup while there is also the added incentive that the CFU champions will compete at the 2016 Copa America, against the best of South America.
The best third-place team from CFU (according to group stage results) will also have a chance to qualify for the Concacaf Gold Cup via a qualification playoff, against Honduras, the 2014 Copa Centroamericana fifth-placed team.
And speaking after setting up striker partner Kevin Molino to net the lone goal in a 1-0 win over Antigua & Barbuda in their CFU Cup semifinal round Group Seven decider at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva on Sunday night, Jones when quizzed about the possibility of facing South American opposition responded, “We have a lot to worry about before the Copa America.”
“Yes the Copa America is an added prize but it’s about time T&T win the Caribbean Cup again.”
The last time T&T captured the title was on May 25, 2001 on home via 3-0 win over Haiti at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo with goals from Dale Saunders, Brent Rahim and Arnold Dwarika.
At Couva on Sunday, 24-year-old Orlando City striker netted his fourth goal in three matches to make certain the Stephen Hart-coached Soca Warriors ended as group winners with maximum nine points, five more than its opponent who took second ahead of Dominican Republic due to a better goal-difference.
Scorer of a hat-trick against Dominican Republic in Wednesday’s 6-1 win before missing Friday’s 2-0 win against St Lucia with a slight knock, Molino held his composure in the area in the 45th minute to drive the ball past Antigua and Barbuda goalkeeper Brentton Muhammad after latching onto a flick-on by fellow forward, Kenwyne Jones.
Commenting after the match, Molino, who broke the US Pro Soccer league scoring record this season with his US Major League Soccer-bound club and was named the USL Pro “Most Valuable Player” said he was simply happy to contribute but “scoring goals don’t mean much if we don’t win.”
Ten minutes into the match, Molino also had a chance to put T&T ahead but he fired into the side netting with teammates Jones and Hector unmarked in the penalty-area while England-based Andre Boucaud and Belgium-based Khaleem Hyland had long range efforts that failed to hit the mark.
At the other end of the field, T&T goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams was mostly a spectator as the defensive quartet of Sheldon Bateau, Carlyle Mitchell, Joevin Jones and Daneil Cyrus together with defensive midfield duo, Hyland and Boucaud protected the T&T goal by smothering any counter attack from their opponents.
But on the resumption, the visitors came alive with Calaum Martin curling a left-footed attempt wide, in the 53rd, and two minutes later, he forced Williams into a block after being put through by Peter Byers.
Antigua & Barbuda was now enjoying a brief moment of dominance and in the 58th minute Martin tested Williams with a free-kick while Byers fired wide of the mark after a one-two with substitute Randolph Burton.
This forced Hart off his seat on the touchline as he signalled for his players to up the team, and his demand was almost met by another goal for T&T, when Vietnam-based midfielder Hughton Hector cut inside right-back Quinto Griffith in the 64th minute, only to scoop his right footer overbar.
The nippy Hector had a crack on target in the 77th minute but Muhammad was equal to the strike with a one-handed save putting it over the bar while substitutes Cordell Cato and Ataulla Guerra also tried their best to stamp their name on the game, but to no avail.
Despite the score-line captain Jones said, “It was an almost perfect game tonight (Sunday).”

Soca Warriors stay unbeaten to top group
By Ian prescott ian.prescott@trinidadexpress.com
Story Created: Oct 13, 2014 at 8:43 PM ECT
“It’s about time Trinidad and Tobago win the Caribbean Cup again,” declared Cardiff City striker Kenwyne Jones, who, until a week ago, had not kicked a ball in the Caribbean’s premier football championship. Now, he’s getting ambitious, wanting to win T&T the Cup for the first time in 13 years. “If we do win the Caribbean Cup we get into the Copa America in 2016,” Jones said. “That is the added prize at the end.”
On Sunday night, Jones captained the Soca Warriors to a 1-0 win over Antigua and Barbuda, as T&T ended its Caribbean Cup Group 7 qualifying semi-final series unbeaten. Kevin Molino’s 45th minute goal sufficed to see the Soca Warriors past Antigua & Barbuda, after earlier in the tournament beating Dominican Republic (6-1) and St Lucia (2-0) over a five-day period.
T&T now join Antigua & Barbuda, Martinique, Curacao, Haiti, French Guiana, hosts Jamaica and defending champions Cuba to contest the eight-team Caribbean finals, for which the 2014 champions earn a special prize— automatic entry to a special centennial edition of the Copa Centro Americana tournament, involving teams such as Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico and the US. The Caribbean Cup’s top four also qualify automtically for next year’s CONCACAF Gold Cup.
A victim of his own success, Jones never got the chance to play in the Caribbean Cup before, having ten years ago left for English club Southampton as a 20-year-old. “Our first focus really was these qualifying games here, and now that we have done that, we are moving on to the tournment in November and hopefully we can take each game as it comes, and also put a little pressure on ourselves to win the Cup.”
Jones added: “I think that the group that we have at the moment is quite strong, and is definitely a special group that could do big things in the next few years to come. ”
US-based Orlando City striker Molino was scoring his fourth goal in two matches as T&T won a highly, tactical match which produced very few chances.
Seven England-born players brought Antigua & Barbuda a defensive concentration and calm organisation rarely seen in their teams, as the Soca Warriors worked all night on breaking through a rock-solid defensive wall.
Molino produced the one moment of magic which the “Benna Boys” failed to contain. Taking Jones’ inward pass, a little “shimmy” provided Molino an extra few yards of space, and he put a low shot past goalie Brenton Muhammad. Showing strong defensive resolve, Antigua & Barbuda sat back, were content to stay organised behind the ball and allowed few chances.
“I was very impressed with Antigua. I make a prediction. I think we will see them playing in the Gold Cup,” T&T head-coach Stephen Hart said after the game. “Very young team, seven players playing in the English leagues. Quality.”
T&T’s Hughtun Hector also had two rare openings in the second half, including a “shot” down the midde which stung the fingers of the Antigua & Barbuda goalie. And defensively, T&T were comfortable, troubled only by the occassional counter-attack from striker Peter Byers.
“We knew how they were going to play and they did exactly as we thought. I though we executed well,” Hart said. “We knew that they wanted a point, and would sit, try to pull us forward. Try to sit there and see what happens, and if the catch us on the counter, they catch us on the counter.
‘’So, I told the players don’t throw yourselves into it, just be patient and try to play around it. If you get one or two chances, and if you take them, the game’s over, “Hart said. “I think they had one chance.”

By Ian Prescott (Express).
Eight England-born players are definitely not enough for Antigua and Barbuda men’s national football head coach Rolston “Debo” Williams, who intends to further strengthen his team for next month’s Caribbean Cup final to be played in Montego Bay, Jamaica, from November 9-19.
Williams was speaking after his team finished second in semi-final Group Seven, and qualified for the eight-team Caribbean final, despite a 1-0 defeat to Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday night at Ato Boldon Stadium. Antigua and Barbuda joined T&T, Martinique, Curacao, Haiti, French Guiana, hosts Jamaica and defending champions Cuba in the final.
Williams credited their foreign-based contingent for a disciplined performance by the “Benna Boys”, who were very difficult to break down.
“We have eight foreign-based players. The impact they have brought to us is professionalism, the work attitude, the work ethics. They bring the work ethic to the team...They bring the belief. All of this is good for us,” Williams said.
“I think they bring a lot to the team.”
Williams added: “We will strengthen the team in Jamaica and we are looking forward to that tournament very much. Keenly we are looking forward to it , and I think that we will be a big surprise over there” he said. “There is room for improvement. We always want to improve the team and if there are good players over there and they want to join us, our arms are open.

CFU is really a joke yes. I wonder If they have anyone in there that will be like aye, how about we contact ESPN and Sportsmax and sell the rights. They both on FLOW so it reaching all the participating countries.
Is there anything we can do for this? I want to watch my team take part in the tournament from the comfort of my living room. Is that so much to ask in 20 f**king 14?

Jamaica was very lucky that the ref didn't send off Demar Phillip after 30 minutes,the commentators words,not mine,he went in with studs showing and injured the Martiquan player who had to be substituted.I didn;t understand it,but Jamaica played really shit football,their long balls went to no one apart from the odd ones,the commentators were almost in tears,they were blaming everyone.Jamaicans are really very arrogant or over confident,some comments before the match,we should win 4-0,it's not like Martinique is a weak ass team,they are a match for anybody,specially in the Caribbean.They were lucky to come out with a draw,if their game don't improve very quickly,they won't qualify.Jamaica 1-1 Martinique 28'

I agree with frico here , the Jamaican fans and media are way over too confident. They are very insulted by the tie and they should be fortunate to come out with that tie. They coul have esily lost that game. , Antigua, Haiti an Martinique are still in the hunt and very much alive. They did predit 3-0 , 4-0 win against Martinique, Now they're predicting they're going to rain goals on Antigua .... Let us see what happen tomorrow.

dey might have to play ah weakened team though.....molino and peltier need rest and some players cyah play more than twice......a draw would have meant us being able to field ah "b" squad with no fear
Post by: Sando prince on November 13, 2014, 10:17:48 PM
if d game done 2-2 we could rest molino and peltier, plus jones could sit out d cuba game too ...maybe take ah 20min at d end.....risk breakin d winning momentum...... lucky as it is but we need d better 11 fully rested for d final
I understand but T&T should not be depending on one or two players to win. We can't beat up our chest about having the best players in the Caribbean but yet so dependent on a few players. I say rest any player who need to be rested because I know T&T can beat any Caribbean team with the squad we have in this tournament (provided they play as a team)

If they think by just getting foreigners will make them good,they better think again,what they do have is some big strong men,but they never used it to their advantage,maybe,that is why Jamaica looked so good,Antigua should have at least 2 goals,but they couldn't even finish some good chances,bye,bye Ant&Bar.

I agree he can analyze the game better than most sports analysts we have in T&T but his word selection leave me shaking my head. He kept saying 'other people' when referring to players.

Fair. I heard him say something about "the guy" when referring to a defending player. It is what it is.

Angus Eve is one horrible horrible commentator... jesus christ.
His delivery could be more polished. However, if yuh hone in to the content ... it is clear he does have a grasp of the subtleties. Ah shouldn't have to state this, buh he way better!!! than dem two Antiguan jokers last rounds.
I agree he can analyze the game better than most sports analysts we have in T&T but his word selection leave me shaking my head. He kept saying 'other people' when referring to players.

Ah got a lil story bout that too,I visited my sister who lived in Curacao,I went shopping and in one of the shop a Soca chune was playing,so I started singing it.One of the assistants heard me and asked me tocarry on singing,she then called a couple others in the store to listen to me.When I was finished they clapped and invited me to their homes.The song,you may remember it,it goes like this,"An Indian gyul from Trinidad went New York City,the tassa drum was playin in an Asian party,but she said gimme my Soca,I love my Soca"something like that. :)I took the volume off while watching a football match,I then taped myself doing the commentry,and allyuh have to believe me,I sounded like a bloody pro. ;D

Cuba will play loser of tonight's JA vs Haiti game in the 3rd place play-off.

Looks like T&T played our worse game of the tournament so far against Cuba and the coach Hart was not at all pleased or satisfied with how the team played but we are still thru to the Final with a draw and have a chance to redeem ourselves in the Final and play according to the coach's plan.
Through to the Final But Hart not pleased with performance versus Cuba

T&T drew 0-0 with Cuba to top Group A with seven points but Men's Senior Team head coach Stephen Hart isn't satisfied with his team's showing on the night in Montego Bay. There were eight changes from the team that defeated French Guiana and Curacao but Hart said he thought T&T should have been better in their final Group encounter - TTFA Media TV.

We need Boucaud and Hyland in the midfield. The reggaeboyz playing with lots of intensity in the middle of the pitch.
wait so what other positions will these two midfielders play if not the midfield? You think Hart will put them in defense? All T&T top players will be playing in the final including Molino
Post by: Socapro on November 16, 2014, 08:13:44 PM
I only saw Jamaica play one match,and I said they were the best team in the tournament,I am now certain they are the best and we would have a difficult time with them.They look technically better than all the teams,and have the best defense,their mid field looks very compact and is dealing with the Haitians who are trying to bore through the middle.The Haitians may have to change their tactic in the second half,try and build their attack from wide,but I'm off to sleep now,2 am too late for me.
As I said, T&T will deal with whichever team that makes it to the Final to face us provided we play our best football which we are yet to play in this tournament.

In addition, since this was a game that JA had to win (not lose or even draw), they were forced to field their best team today. T&T on the other hand rested key players on Saturday, and played a 'strolling' type of football...nothing too intensive. T&T also has a full 24 hours of rest over Jamaica who just played tonight. Though not a guarantee of securing a victory, this bodes well for T&T two days from now on Tuesday.
Not to sound biased, I'm predicting a Soca Warrior victory on Tuesday. Nuff' said. :beermug:
Post by: Sando prince on November 16, 2014, 09:12:29 PM
Jamaica looked good in this match, but then again they had no choice but to play attacking football from the first whistle, as it was a game they had to win (all Haiti needed was a draw to make the finals against T&T). Haiti played the first 30 minutes like they came into the game with the mentality of playing it safe to secure a draw, and make it to the finals...but that strategy obviously backfired on them.

I would like to see the Soca Warriors approach this final as if it was a World Cup qualifier.

Should be a good game of football. Not wanting to make any sort of prediction, but I believe Jamaica playing at home and seemingly getting better with each game means that T&T will have to bring its "A" game if it is to win the tournament.
Game will likely be won / lost in the defensive third of the field.

Jamaica basically had this game wrapped up after scoring 2 goals in the 1st 20 minutes.
Jamaica played a very defensive 2nd half clearly with the intention of not conceding any goals in the 2nd half which worked tactically for them. The Jamaican goal keeper was the hero of the 2nd half when he saved a penalty just 5 minutes from the end of the game to stop Haiti from having any hope of getting back into the game to salvage a draw.
The Final on Tuesday between T&T and Jamaica should make for a good contest but I expect T&T to win that game if we play our A game so its Reggae vs Soca for the Caribbean Cup title this Tuesday with Kompa vs Rumba featuring Haiti vs Cuba in the 3rd place play-off game that precedes the final.
All 4 teams T&T, JA, Haiti and Cuba have also qualified for the Gold Cup tournament next year.

Montego Bay, Jamaica - Group A of the Men's Caribbean Cup ended with French Guiana beating Curacao 4 - 1 and Trinidad and Tobago held to a 0 - 0 draw by Cuba, who advance to the Concacaf Gold Cup.
Match: French Guiana 4 - 1 Curacao
Man of the Match: Brian St. Clair
French Guiana were victors in the one of the surprising results of the tournament as they defeated Curacao 4 - 1 in the early kick off for Group A. French Guiana scored first in the 18th minute through Brian St. Clair as they took the 1 - 0 lead.
Gilles Fabien would double his team's lead in the 26 minute. The scoring would not end there as Niki Adipi would make 3 - 0 in the 34th minute of play. Curacao who looked heavy legged went into the second half 3 - 0 down to French Guiana.
French Guiana would score a forth goal in the 64th minute through Gilles Fabien as his second made it 4 - 0 in the second half. Curacao would pull one back in the the 84 minute to make the full time score 4 - 1.
The result so far puts French Guiana in the playoff position for the 2015 Concacaf Gold Cup.
Match: Trinidad & Tobago 0 - 0 Cuba.
Man of the Match: Alberto Carbonell
Defending champions Cuba would salvage a draw with Trinidad & Tobago in the evenings feature match. Although Trinidad went into the game top of the group A win from Cuba would have made team exchange positions.
The first half saw both team showing caution and also some good counter attacking. Cuba would get two clear chances on Trinidad's goal but Jan Williams was equal to both of the strikes as both team would go into the half scoreless.
The second half showed less attacking intent from both team as Trinidad carefully keep possession searching for a safety goal as Cuba kept compact.
The match would end as a goalless draw which saw Trinidad & Tobago top Group A which will see them face the first place team from Group B for the Championship.
Cuba will play the second place team from Group B as they have qualified for the Gold Cup a record 8th time.

Jamaica Tops Group B and Martinique Takes Third
Montego Bay, Jamaica - On the final match day of Group B Martinique salvages pride after defeating Antigua 2 - 0 and Host Jamaica takes down Haiti 2 - 0.
Match: Martinique 2 - 0 Antigua & Barbuda
Man of the match:
Martinique salvage pride on the final match day of Group B after defeating Antigua & Barbuda 2- 0 in the early kick off. In the first half both teams tried to make a contest of the match as Martinique would force Antigua's goalkeeper Brentton Muhammad into two good saves early in the match.
Antigua would also push for a victory during the first half as both teams were mathematically still in the competition at the time. After a scoreless first half Martinique would take the lead as Bedi Buval received a pass and score in the 57th minute to make it 1 - 0.
Both teams would exchange attacking intent during the second half but Martinique would add another goal as Jose Goron in the 90th minute would make it 2 - 0 to Martinique after full time.
Match: Jamaica 2 - 0 Haiti
Man of match: Rodoplh Austin
Jamaica defeated Haiti in the feature match by 2 goals to nil. The victory sets up Jamaica to face Trinidad & Tobago for the finals of the Men's Caribbean Cup final on Tuesday.
The action started in the first half as Jamaica would open up the scoring in the 13th minute through Simon Dawkins to make it 1 - 0.
Shortly after Darren Mattocks would make it 2 - 0 in the 20th minute as the pace of the Reggaeboyz was begging to be too much for the Haitian team as they went into the second half with confidence.
Haiti came out in the second half of the match as the stronger of the two teams trying to equalize as a spot in the Copa America was still available.
The Reggaeboyz would hit the post deep into the second half which almost made it 3 goals to nil. There would be late drama in the match as Haiti would be awarded a penalty deep into stoppage time.
But it was Jamaican Goalkeeper Andre Blake who was the hero for his home team as he made a great save to keep it 2 - 0 at full time.
The Finals are now set as Cuba will face Haiti for the 3rd place and Trinidad & Tobago will face Host nation Jamaica for the Caribbean Cup.

Decent idea but I hope T&T can host the next one in 2016...been far too long since we hosted one (2007) , back to back finalists with hands down the best facilities in the Caribbean... that field in Montego Bay is a joke. The stadiums used in Antigua in 2012 were pathetic too.
2 groups in HCS and either Ato/Manny and the Final and 3rd place at the HCS...
I hope we wrap that up early....Webb gift Jamaica a Caribbean Cup and U20 Final Round for Concacaf.
Time for T&T to host the region's flagship tournament again man..I will be furious If we let that opportunity pass.
