T&T senior men to face Guadeloupe on Sept 6 at Dwight Yorke Stadium.
By Shaun Fuentes (TTFA).
Trinidad and Tobago’s Senior Men’s team will face Guadeloupe’s Senior team in their friendly international fixture at the Dwight Yorke Stadium on Saturday September 6th from 4:30pm.
This international fixture, which is being supported by the Tobago House of Assembly, will serve as a warm-up for both teams ahead of the Caribbean Cup qualifying campaign and T&T head coach Stephen Hart will use the encounter to fine tune his squad before entering the semi-final round of the regional competition which will be played in Trinidad in October.
Guadeloupe is captained by former New York Red Bull midfielder Stephane Auvray and have appeared in three CONCACAF Gold Cups, their last qualification being in 2011 where they lost narrowly to the United States (1-0), Canada (1-0) and Panama (3-2). They managed to reach the semi-finals of the 2007 tournament where they lost to Mexico.
Hart meantime has hinted that he will use the encounter to have a closer look at more of this country’s home-based professionals.
“It is essential that we begin to prepare properly for the CFU Tournament. Other competing Nations have had a head start, so we need to be focused. The CFU is yet to establish the format of the Tournament which means we do not know which players will be available for selection,” Hart told TTFA Media.
“Presently, we have quite a number of players out of the country at Clubs, or on trial, who will more than likely not be part of the selection. With this in mind, my intention is to utilize a local based squad. This is an opportunity I have been looking forward to, as it's the first time we will embark on such a program,” Hart added.
T&T and Central FC goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams said the game would serve T&T well in its build up for the Caribbean Cup qualifiers a month later.
“I’m quite pleased that we will get his opportunity to play an international friendly at home especially with the Caribbean Cup approaching so quickly,” Williams said.
“The Caribbean Cup is vital for us because we finished second in 2012 and I’d love for us to take the title this time and of course we must qualify for the Gold Cup again. I think the challenge will be harder this year but we’ve been coming together well as a team and this game will be an opportunity for some of the home-based players to get good match practice as well.”
“The venue is quite good and Guadeloupe are decent opponents with their style of play and they’ve also done well in the regional competitions in recent years. I’m sure our players will be eager to get on the field again particularly after all the attention and excitement of the World Cup in Brazil,” Williams added.
Guadeloupe will also play another match while in Tobago, facing a Tobago Eleven on September 4th. The visitors are already through to the semi-final qualifying stage as one of the hosts for another groups.
Details on ticket cost and outlets will be announced in due course.

We choose to play a friendly against a country thats not actually a country. Interesting. At least its something
-
It better than nothing, and Guadeloupe is a good team if they bring all they players.
Good work by the TTFA.
De only thing I don't like about this is, Jan Michael Williams and him being captain.
Come on Hartie, time to bleed a few new talent and we all know than Jan is very inconsistent and makes a lot of mistakes.
Time for him to fight for his spot.

I'm more concerned about the DY Stadium. I thought there were problems with it and it couldn't be used. Am I wrong? Is it being fixed?

No it is not being fixed, i pass there every day to and from work and there is nothing going on at the stadium except the grass being cut. Maybe its going to be played on the training grounds :frustrated:

Does Guadeloupe have a Fifa ranking. I mean, isn't it part of France. They can't qualify for a world cup, can they. I just thought we should play someone who would help our ranking situation. Also, any particular reason they want to make it more difficult for most of the fans to go the game. To me, if they want to hold a game on Tobago having an unranked team is a bad idea, what's the motivation for people to leave Trinidad to go Tobago to go and watch this game. Is the thinking that since its so rear to have a game in Tobago tobagonians will just show up. I hope they are right. To me if they want to have a game on Tobago it should be a decent team, a team that won't fill HCS but will attract a lot of people. A team likeGuatemala
-
Probably good idea to go Tobago.
I suspect the Trinidad crowd does not care one shite at the moment and you'd probably get no more than 1-2000 crowd in the Hasely.
Sister isle Tobago with less all day competing action is still a place that feels privileged for these rare opportunities and the remnant low level reservoir of T&T patriotism until the waggonists in Trinidad wake up.
Sad, but unfortunately daiz how it is.
Good luck Warriors.

So long I eh visit we get a game.

This. We had a thread about this after the Argentina game, I think the majority conclusion was stick lol.
Guadeloupe are a good side - don't underestimate them. Half/two-thirds play in France and this is a nation that's produced in a way) Thuram, Gallas, and Wiltord to name a few. Hell France once fielded an entire defence of Guadeloupans in 2006 (Chimbonda, Gallas, Thuram and Silvestre). They'll be an excellent challenge, even if it doesn't count for ranking

Tiresais, from way back in the 60s, Martinique and Guadeloupe were good teams. I remember, Martinique visiting TT and TT and the old POSFL going to Martinique and play.

Saw some activity goin on @ the DYS today but couldnt really slow down to see what exactly. Probably maintenance work resuming. Will try to get a good look tomorrow
-
From what I heard this will be a locally based team but my expectations are still high. The selected players will be our top senior players in our Pro League so no excuses come game day. I want nothing short of a win and good team football. If we want to be a country serious about our football then standards have to be met

I honestly feel the TTFA should using local fro the pro-league and any"diamond" in the super league for all these friendlies, warmups (whatever they want to cal it). We need to development a core of players who can stand on their own, seeing a lot of the foreign base can't always come home.

Yorke stadium worries
Officials working on problem ahead of Guadeloupe games
By Ian Prescott (Express).
There is a big hole currently in the middle of the Dwight Yorke Stadium, but the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) is confident two international matches against the Guadeloupe men’s national football team will come off, despite some concern about the readiness of the playing surface.
Guadeloupe will play twice in the sister isle. First on September 4 against a star-studded Tobago XI, coached by Roxborough Lakers coaches Marlon Topping and David Greaves, and consisting mainly of players from the four Tobago National Super League teams.
Two days later, national head coach Stephen Hart will take charge of a Trinidad and Tobago senior men’s national team against the French visitors. Both matches will be played at four o’clock because of light issues at the Dwight Yorke. Yesterday, TTFA secretary Sheldon Phillips refuted suggestions that the matches were cancelled.
“That is nonsense,” Phillips declared. “There is an issue. But it is being worked on, and later today or tomorrow, we should have a solution to announce.”
Tobago Football Association (TFA) president Raymond Allen also acknowledged there was an issue, but is optimistic both matches will come off.
Allen explained that recent work pertaining to the laying of a new athletic track has left a hole in the middle of the surface at the Stadium. He said the delay had to do with the International Athletic Federation (IAAF) having to certify the recently-laid track, before work could be done on the problem. Alleyne said other Tobago venues had similar issues.
“They are working assiduously on it, and by today or tomorrow, we will get a solution,” Alleyne said. “I am very optimistic the games are on.”
Both Trinidad and Tobago and Guadeloupe host Caribbean Cup semi-final groups in October, and are using the tour as preparation in their effort to reach the eight-team 2014 Caribbean Cup finals, which take place from November 9-19 in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
The 2014 Caribbean Cup serves as a qualifier for both next season’s CONCACAF Gold Cup, and the 2016 Copa Centro America, involving such teams as Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and the United States.
Allowed to use French-born players in their squad, Guadeloupe have always provided stiff competition for T&T despite losing 1-0 (2003) and 3-2 (1999) respectively at the Central American and Caribbean Games.
They have had good international results including at the 2011 Gold Cup when narrowly losing to Panama (3-2), United States (1-0) and Canada (1-0).
Guadeloupe were also runners-up at the 2010 Caribbean Cup, when T&T did not qualify, and also finished fourth at the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the year T&T failed to advance out of the group stage.
-
So wait, they plan a game on a stadium that is not finish?
Like Sheldon trying to make up for the u20 miss camp in they had in Bago.
De government workers does wok like 10 days workers, so that stadium eh go done.
These is the kind of stuff that makes the ttfa look bad.
Bad planning.
-
If the stadium management indicated that the venue would be ready and available, and only informed the National Association about the problem when final checks were made?

T&T U-20s to battle Guadeloupe.
By Ian Prescott (Express).
A decision has been taken by the Trinidad & Tobago Football Association (TTFA) to give the National Under-20 footballers a high-calibre friendly international warm-up match against the Guadeloupe senior team before they begin World Cup qualifying.
Trinidad & Tobago Under-20 men will now take on Guadeloupe in Tobago at the Dwight Yorke Stadium at 4 p.m. next Saturday. Two days earlier, the French-speaking Caribbean visitors begin their tour against a Tobago XI, made up of Super League players at the same venue.
The Under 20s will, in two weeks, from September 10 -19, host the eight-team Caribbean final round of qualifiers for the 2015 FIFA Under-20 World Cup. The T&T tournament is the official qualifier in the Caribbean Zone for both the CONCACAF Men’s U-20 Championship and the FIFA Men’s U-20 World Cup.
Initially, Guadeloupe, preparing for the senior men’s Caribbean Cup qualifiers, had scheduled a visit to T&T to play the men’s senior team. However, after discussions between T&T head-coach Stephen Hart and the TTFA, it was felt the opportunity to play would better serve the Under 20s, which has not played an international game during its preparations this year.
Hart will instead assemble his squad in late September for a live-in training camp before T&T host a Caribbean Cup semi-final round group qualifier in October. T&T Under 20 men’s head coach Derek King, who is also an assistant coach with the senior men’s team, feels that Guadeloupe will provide the perfect test for the youngsters.
“The game comes at an ideal time for us and will be a great test for the young men,” head-coach King said. Host T&T will kick off the Caribbean finals against Curacao on September 12, then face Suriname on September 14 and Cuba on September 16.
The other group consists of Dominican Republic, Haiti, St Kitts/Nevis and Aruba. The top four Caribbean teams qualify for the CONCACAF finals, which will be held in Jamaica in January 2015, and determines the region’s teams which will participate at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand. Panama, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras are already through to the CONCACAF Round.
“We’ve been in training for a few weeks well and we’ve had the opportunity to play against some of the pro teams, as well as the national Under 17 team. ‘’The boys have progressed quite well and every player is now eager to go into the tournament and give of his best and go on to qualify for the CONCACAF finals,” said King, after his team defeated St Ann’s Rangers 4-0 in a training match at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar, yesterday. T&T got goals from US-based midfielder Andre Fortune, Matthew Woo Ling, Nicholas Dillon and Kadeem Corbin.

Food for thought.
I've been to some U20 sessions as I have a few kids that used to be around in the youth leagues when I was active, on the current team...they doing a very good job so far. Interested to see how they do in the future.

Guadeloupe 1st of more internationals for sister isle
By Ian prescott (Express).
Tobago going solo
TOBAGO would not mind a bit of independence from Trinidad and Tobago on the football field, and hope to play several more international matches solely as a Tobago team in the coming months.
It is one of the reasons the island insisted that the home team must play one of the matches during Guadeloupe’s two-match tour of the island.
The second encounter was initially dedicated to the Trinidad and Tobago senior national team, but an adjustment was made to give the national Under-20 players some match practice before they host the final round of Caribbean qualifiers for the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in T&T from September 12.
Tomorrow, Guadelouple will play a second match against a Trinidad and Tobago X1, containing several members of the national U-20 squad in addition to senior internationals, such as 29-year-old goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams and W Connection’s former Poland and Finland-based defender Meikel Williams.
Yesterday’s game against Guadeloupe was just the first for Tobago, according to Tobago Football Association (TFA) general secretary Everton Alfred.
Alfred said Tobago fielding a national team from time to time gives footballers from the sister isle more exposure, and a platform on which to catch the eye of international teams, and also Stephen Hart, the T&T senior team head coach.
“When teams come for the Caribbean Cup in October, we are trying to get the ones that come early, to come across to Tobago for a game,” Alfred said.
Alfred was speaking of the Caribbean Cup semi-final group which T&T hosts from October 6-13. The Soca Warriors will play Antigua-Barbuda, Dominica and a best third-placed finisher. The top two teams qualify for the 2014 Caribbean Cup finals which take place from November 9-18 in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
“At some point we (Tobago) also hope to take a team out somewhere, to created opportunities,” he added.
Alfred said Tobago have enough talent to compete at some level on their own merit. The Tobago team which played Guadeloupe yesterday had available several players who have experience with teams in the professional league in Trinidad, but are now back home.
These included Kerlon Ferguson, the bustling former T&TEC striker, who is a handful for many defenders. Defender Omar Charles played for both Pro League second-placed finishers Central FC and Point Fortin Civic last season, but is now with Stokely Vale, and young striker Gem Gordon, a triallist with England club Walsall in 2013, had a couple of runs last season in W Connection’s 2013-2014 championship winning squad.
“What a game like that against Guadeloupe gives Tobago is exposure,” Alfred said.
“We have the talent. Whenever our players go to Trinidad to play, they do well,” Alfred added. “We have a team that contains players who have played in the Pro League and Super League, and also some good youngsters.”

Guadeloupe whip game Tobago
By Ian prescott (Express).
Tobago put up a good fight before going down 3-0 to Guadeloupe yesterday in a friendly match at Dwight Yorke stadium.
It was big occasion for the island, with the Dwight Yorke stadium seeing its first action in two years, while a spanking new, blue-coloured athletic track was laid down.
“In my time of playing, we never had this standard of game,”declared former Tobago United coach Peter Granville. “It’s good that we had this quality of game which has been given to us by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA). It is the first time we are playing at this level.”
Tobago fielded several players with Pro League experience--Kerlon Ferguson (T&TEC), Omar Charles (Point Fortin Civic) and Gem Gordon (W Connection) among them.
Nothing separated Tobago from Guadeloupe in the first half, except for a horrendous bit of “butter fingers” by Tobago goalkeeper Joel Sampson, leading to Ludovic Piqueur’s only goal at the end of 45 minutes. Sampson got completely turned around, allowing a tame cross from Guadeloupe left-midfielder Piqueur into the goal on the half hour mark. But the visitors were sharp in the second half when scoring two further goals.
Among those present in Bacolet were Tobago Secretary for Sport Huey Cadette, Tobago Football Association (TFA) president, Raymond Alleyne and Raymond Tim Kee, president of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA).
“When I became president (TTFA), I pledged that Tobago must be included in all the international football,” Tim Kee said. “Apart from giving Tobago exposure, it helps our national team, and in addition to that, it has tourism opportunities.
On the field, Tobago deserved to at least be level at halftime, and with a little bit more composure, Kerlon Ferguson should have put them ahead in the 27 th minute. The former Pro League forward for T&TEC was put clear by a through ball, but hesitated momentarily, before failing to get around the Guadeloupe keeper Celigny.
Youthful Tobago coach Marlon Topping changed almost his entire team in the second session, including five players at the half. Tobago, therefore had less impact.
Guadeloupe, however, had greater cutting edge, although making seven changes themselves and there was no stopping Edwin Malpon when he ran in to clinically turn a low cross into the six-yard box to make the score 2-0, and first half scorer Piqueur flicked a through ball past the goal for a third Guadeloupe goal.

The Under 20 team can't get a flight to Tobago.
They may have to come in the day of the game?
The TFA is pissed.

The TTFA rushed and set this game for Tobago after they complained. They did not think it over, they just trying to please the TFA.
Spoke to Shabaaz among others yestersday and they told me that all staff memmbers are owed months of salary.
The TTFA really need some help and Tim Kee is not bugging.
More news to come.

Not sure what the big deal is here. It's a 15 minute flight and they are going tomorrow to play the game.
And Football Supporter, I suggest you take a look at Insider's post history. Seen quite a few attacks on Central FC. I am a big fan of the work you guys are doing there. Keep it up ! Having been outside over Europe, to finally come home and see a couple clubs with ambition is refreshing.

I think it would have been preferable to fly out the day before. We even overnight camp when we go to Point Fortin! But considering the financial situation, it's understandable. Insider does sometimes shoot off target, and as you pointed out, Central have been victims of malicious gossip via Insider. However, his role appears to be as purveyor of gossip. By definition, some will be true, some will be incorrect or even malicious. He, apparently, is only passing on what he's heard. The forum can then decide to believe it or not.
I just felt that while the post may have been mere mischief making, and your intention to defend the U20 set up may be warranted, you kind of contradicted yourself!
And I am also keen to see this U20 in mortal combat as we have 4 of our boys there ready to step up to the big time!!

Since Tuesday the team was supposed to be in Tobago, they will now arrive tomorrow morning before the game.

So Guadeloupe could get a flight to Tobago but Trinidad can't get one?
:rotfl: :rotfl:
Real comedy.
Ah hear de lights not working in de stadium to that is why de game is playing at 4pm.
De TFA promise to handle everything and de TTFA didn't bother to follow up.

Since when is Tim Kee responsible for TFA events? Oh I get it, anything that goes wrong involving football in TnT is the fault of the TTFA/Tim Kee.

Last I check it was T&T playing and Tim Kee in charge of T&T football. So maybe blame St. Kitts FA.

From people who religiously watch pro league games and Super League, Jan Michael Williams and Marvin Phillips are the best keepers in Trinidad and Tobago, at age 29 they are young goal keepers. John, Lewis and Foncette are distant first second and third. Fans will tell you that this is the weakest part of Trinidad football at present, people say if the U20 has a weakness is in goal. King has stated that Welch is returning, so we will see. Even in the colleges & present U17 goalkeeping weak.
20 keepers on paper is just names on paper.

:beermug: :beermug: We're perhaps in a trough for goalkeepers, but some of those names could do something for us in the future with the right guidance, determination and training
