I love Jlloyd Samuel, but no, he to old man, we need to build a team.
He could help us get to the World Cup at least, and tbh in 2018 he'll still only be 35, which is really pushing it but he might still be good as a defender then.

Trinidad and Tobago will be going to Brazil after all. An international friendly between this country Men's National Senior Teamand Iran’s National Senior Team was today confirmed to take place in Sao Paolo, Brazil on June 8th.
This game will follow T&T’s June 4th friendly international against Argentina in La Plata and there are ongoing discussions to get a third game on the schedule for that period.
The game against Iran resulted following initial discussions between Iran's head coach Carlos Queiroz and the TTFA and an international match agent.
“This is another massive game for our national team,” said TTFA President Raymond Tim Kee.
“I think the match comes at a really good time and will be a fantastic opportunity for our current national senior team to experience playing such a game just mere days before the start of the World Cup and in the country where all the action will be taking place. I am excited by this and it will allow our country’s national flag to be flown in Brazil which is always a very proud moment.
“This game will hopefully go a long way in helping prepare our players for our upcoming Caribbean Cup campaign later this year and for our 2018 Russia World Cup campaign,” Tim Kee added.
Tim Kee expressed gratitude towards Sport Minister Anil Roberts, the Ministry of Sports and Sportt for their ongoing support to the Senior team and other TTFA-related matters such as the other national teams and development programs.
Iran is currently the number one ranked team in Asia and 34th on the FIFA World rankings. This will be their fourth World Cup appearance, having qualified for the 1978, 1998 and 2006 Finals.
Iran will compete in Group F alongside Argentina, Nigeria, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Along with the warm up game against T&T, Iran will also Belarus on May 18th, and Montenegro on May 26th.

THE TRINIDAD and Tobago football team, dubbed “the Soca Warriors”, will be heading to Brazil, not to compete in this year’s FIFA World Cup but to face Iran in a friendly international at Sao Paolo on June 8.
The game will take place at the Arena Corinthians, Sao Paulo (scheduled to be completed by April 15), which will be hosting the World Cup Group A opening match between hosts Brazil and Croatia (on June 12).
The Stephen Hart-coached TT outfit will only have four days to prepare for their matchup against Iran, as they are carded to face hosts Argentina in a friendly meeting on June 4 in La Plata.
According to a media release from the TT Football Association (TTFA), this game arose after initial discussions between the local governing body, an international match agent and Iran coach Carlos Queiroz (the former Portugal, United Arab Emirates, South Africa and Real Madrid tactician and Manchester United assistant).
“This is another massive game for our national team,” said TTFA president Raymond Tim Kee.
“I think the match comes at a really good time and will be a fantastic opportunity for our current national senior team to experience playing such a game just mere days before the start of the World Cup and in the country where all the action will be taking place. I am excited by this and it will allow our country’s national flag to be flown in Brazil which is always a very proud moment.
“This game will hopefully go a long way in helping prepare our players for our upcoming Caribbean Cup campaign later this year and for our 2018 Russia World Cup campaign,” Tim Kee added.
Tim Kee also continued his expression of gratitude towards Sport Minister Anil Roberts, the Ministry of Sport and the Sports Company of Trinidad and Tobago (SPORTT) for their ongoing support to the various national teams and the TTFA development programmes.

the reports back then were that both Pfister and Quiroz were in the runnings, then Quiroz took the Iran job as Pfister got T&T.
Just another confirmation of what money can buy you.
Pfister was on $50,000 USD a month, and that got us knocked the fack out by Guyana.
Iran paid Quieroz $$166,666.66 USD a month, and that got them to top their group with South Korea and qualify directly.
Until we get our house in order financially, we will always be in a mode of hopefulness rather than expectancy. Plain and simple.
And sometimes we wonder why our players look so unfit in international games...

Havent seen a thread for the Iran game, so I will post here, its intriguing that we will come up against the coach who was on a shortlist for our TD job...

We have to be very careful regarding how we approach the balance between affordable compensation, merited compensation, sustainable compensation and deliverable value on compensation.
As you likely appreciate, no level of compensation is guaranteed to yield a successful outcome. Even so, how formulaic is it that football is an arena in which one gets what one pays for?
Certain variables seem to render WC qualification more likely than unlikely, and I dare say that we might be attaching too much investment in the notion that compensation is definitively a controlling variable in that outcome. Other human resource and infrastructural variables must precede investment in compensation under any analysis.
I think the issue you raise is not a simplistic issue, and it strikes me as a compelling area for inquiry mapped out with data.
However, we have to apply very critical thought to the notion of escalating compensation. In the context of our national landscape (even assuming we had the deepest of pockets), my position is that there's a problematic that must be sensitive to our social reality.
You make the contrast between Pfister and Queiroz ... there are other coaches who have failed and yet received hefty compensation. What's the post-mortem then?
How much has Pfister's previous successes cost? Please consider that the heir apparent situation at Man U would probably never have materialized had Queiroz stayed there. In my view, he's a brand name coach because of the clubs with which he's been associated (and this drives his "value") but he has in fact never really delivered at the international level. On the record, Pfister, although less glamorous, can probably stake a better claim. For less.

I have a different view concerning why our players look so unfit in international games ...it is in the second half of games that this is most noticeable...that being so after our teams spend most of the first half running behind the ball and/or chasing after opponents who can keep possession for long periods. When we do get the ball we dont seem to be able to keep possession for very long and often give up possession within two passes. Now no coach can get us fit enough unless we address the problem of lack of the ability as a team to keep possession of the ball.

Even if TT had picked Quieroz, it may not have made a difference. Jack had Otto played one warm up game against Indian. The entire preparation for the WC was shoddy. Jack hand-tie the man with his political baggage. We should have had a rigorous preparation. We had the players. Our players lacked confidence. We lost the WC in Bermuda not GT. We should have won that game, and could have won it.

Nice to see Hart taking a youth so young on the trip. Good experience. It have CAC, PanAm Games, Carib Cup, GC. Good Olimpic and WC prospect. Plus I bias to the left back position.

Some good talk in dey. .
But keep in mind a brand name coach like Quieroz also will have a different impact on our players and country as a whole. It's in our nature.
If we get Guardiola I bet we wld walk on water in terms of team play even if he ain't really do nutten. It's just the mentality of our players.
And that in itself is what you pay a premium for. How you try to quantify that I don't know though.

The Trinidad and Tobago national team had its first training session on Brazil soil on Friday evening at the Corinthians Training Stadium
Sunday’s match against Iran is schedule for the same venue which is an official World Cup training venue.
The T&T team arrived on Qatar Airlines at the Sao Paolo International Airport just after 2am on Friday before checking in at the Bristol International Airport Hotel in Sao Paolo. This is the second visit to Brazil by a T&T senior team following a visit in 2001 by the Ian Porterfield led-team for a training camp prior to the final round of CONCACAF 2002 World Cup qualification
Following the 3-0 defeat to Argentina in which T&T held its own for long periods, spirits were high in the T&T team but he mood in the camp turned into a somber one just around 10am as news came that the 10 month old son of goalkeeper Marvin Phillip had passed away in Chaguanas. Phillip is scheduled to depart for Trinidad on Friday night, accompanied by assistant manager Peter Rampersad.
Team captain Kenwyne Jones was the first one to encounter Phillip as he received the news. Phillip used Jones’ mobile phone to make the call home during which he received the devastating news.
“It’s a very difficult time for him and all of his right now,” Jones told TTFA Media.
“I am a father as well. There are a lot of fathers in the team and no one wants to go through something like this. Our prayers and thoughts are with Marvin and his family.”
The Cardiff City forward said the T&T team will now regain focus ahead of Sunday’s encounter with the Asian giants.
“We were coming off a good experience in Argentina. I think there has been a bit of a buzz in the camp and everyone was looking forward to Sunday’s match. We have to get our heads together again and channel our energies onto the football field as continue our preparations for Iran,” Jones added.
T&T will go into Sunday’s match with one goalkeeper in Jan Michael Williams as Hart will not call a replacement ‘keeper.
“We have a couple days here to do as much as we can. The sessions will not be intense because we had a game just a little more than a day ago but we’ll be looking to do everything as right as we possibly can in relation to the match on Sunday. It’s good to be here and again it’s all part of the experience for our players. There is a lot happening football wise right now. We are in the football capital of the world at the moment so there’s a lot to absorb at the same time,” Hart said.
Meantime. Brazilian clubs have opted to train outside of Brazil and even play their games as FIFA has taken over many of the country's stadiums and training centers for the World Cup.
Since last month teams are not allowed to play at the 12 stadiums that will be used during the World Cup, nor at the venues to be used for training.
Nearly 30 league matches had to be altered for the last four rounds before the World Cup break. Of the 20 clubs in the first division, 14 have to relinquish home-field advantage. In addition to the 12 World Cup stadiums, FIFA and local organizers also took over 24 venues considered official training fields in the host cities.
Aside from T&T’s match against Iran on Sunday there are several other international games this weekend, as on Friday the match schedule includes Germany versus Armenia, Colombia vs Jordan, Brazil at home to Serbia, Croatia against Australia, Japan versus while at Costa Rica take on Republic of Ireland,Greece play Bolivia and Mexico face Portugal.

Why isn't Cyrus & Cato being used?
Cyrus in VietNam. And Cato, I eh sure if Hart did not pick him. Or if he did, Cato's club did not want to release him. Not sure.

Why then are there streaming websites advertising the game?
Come VB. Those sites put up steaming ads and links before they actually confirm a feed. Sometimes they get the feed minutes before.
If it is closed door. There will be no tv feed. Therefore no web stream.

Same pattern, not good. Concede in the 46th, concede early in the 2nd half....The concentration needs work. That is unforgivable at this level. Something for Hart to work on with the lads in the Future.
Something for them to work on as individuals? Hart has been hammering home this theme ... there was mention of it prior to departure.

Sadly Guerra and J.Jones only huffing and puffing but NO improvement. Jones is left dumbstruck when he's out of his comfort zone of the TnT Pro League e.g the Udinese trial and the Argentina game - Marcus Joseph offers more than him when it comes to crunch time if given a chance. And Guerra simply doesn't concentrate for 90 minutes. Molino might have been late for the camp but I'm sure if he started (in the ARG game) he would have put in a better shift. Time to bring in Shahdon Winchester and Aubrey David for our next adventure!:beermug: :beermug: and Cordell Cato as well needs to be given a chance. We can only improve though

Ok to simplify the question. What did we do in that game for you to say we played without fear? For you to say we were fearless what did we do?. So we didn't take more than two shots on goal? So we didn't control possession? What is it I am asking
