Will be a difficult game for our women to win but I believe they can get the job done.
This game will give us an insight of how much we have improved since the Caribbean Cup.

We look woefully overmatched. 13 minutes and already we holding on for dear life. We conceding way too many set pieces and every clearance is just "anywhere will do"... usually right back to an attacking player. No composure whatsoever.
Agreed. We can't seem to 3 passes together, we're slower to balls that are 60-40 in our favour and really just surviving on grit. I'm pleased to see them as determined as this, but there needs to be a little more to their game still. Hoping for the miracle all the same. ;D

25 minutes later and we seem much more settled. The defense is much more composed, though midfield still a mess. Really impressed with Arin King so far, doing everything to keep Wambach in check. Kimika Forbes is playing on another level right now... phenomenal game so far.

The game plan has to be simple. Keep it tight vs USA and go for the wins vs Guatemala and Haiti.

The expectations of some of the forumites here really does amaze me. Coming up against the world's best women's team in their home territory on the back of a roller coaster preparation and men still upset that we 0-0 after 30mins.
The game plan has to be simple. Keep it tight vs USA and go for the wins vs Guatemala and Haiti.
smh
ah love it!!
Its not about the scoreline. Its about how the T&T team is playing. Possession, passing, shots on goal, I would like to see my team accomplish this

EDIT: Ah real love Akheela Mollon, not her best game, but she run hard whole game and was able to pressure the US defenders with her pace a couple times.

Kudos to the coach for the discipline at the back. If only we can get the midfield organize, we in business,this team will be going to the world cup. I like the speed from the wings and the attitude of this team. Say what we were competitive and we had the belief.

However, don't let your guard down against Haiti and Guatemala. I know the temptation will be there to relax and open up but at this level you have to maintain your discipline. Do NOT assume those games will be easy because of your result here!!
Post by: diamondtrim on October 16, 2014, 06:05:16 AM
That being said, I really hope this team qualifies for the world cup. They seem to be playing with more heart than skill and that will take further than most.
I am proud of the girls....

Every game is a challenge every team presents it's own obstacles- - yuh got to figure that Haiti with one win go be wanting to set up a strong wall and play a defensive game- we have to unleash a barrage of goals and play like there is no tomorrow.
All the best for the next encounter.

Daiz the thing.
Hope we eh behave like the U20s and think we inside. We have to do the job on the field. Right now we have Haiti 2nd guessing, so we need to work.
We are in a must win situation now. Can't draw and can't lose.

They played hard and worked hard. Don't get me wrong, but I know what these players are capable of and there were a couple of situations where I think they should have shown how good they are and they did not.
