The level of preparation before this camp was not perfect but now we have had some valuable time together. The vibe and atmosphere in the camp has gotten better. There are lots of competitions for places in the team and that is always good heading into matches like the ones we are preparing for,”Wiliams said.

The Trinidad and Tobago Senior Men’s Team will arrive in Chicago just after midday today ahead of their opening 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup match against Guatemala on Thursday at Soldier Field.
Skipper Kenwyne Jones and his team will be hoping to see evidence of support for the team in the stadiums for the games and already one person has guaranteed this for the game against Cuba in Phoenix.
Dr Anil Ramnanan, Consul General of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago of Miami, visited the team during their training camp in Fort Lauderdale and looked on at the 1-0 victory over Haiti at the Central Broward Regional Park. Dr Ramnanan revealed that there will be buses taking TT nationals from Florida to Phoenix to support the team against Cuba on July 12.
“It’s been a pleasure seeing any national team play up here. We are very happy to welcome this national football team as they move on to play their first game in Chicago, North Carolina and Charlotte thereafter,” Ramnanan said.
“We feel with the institutional success of TT football over the decades, the tenacity and hard work, the innate talent and skill, the coaching and the effort these guys have put in, we must show our appreciation to the team. We want to say that the TT nationals abroad are here to support our national team and we will see them as we travel on the road in large numbers as we offer our support to them. We have already purchased block tickets and will be going there in numbers to show our support to the boys.
“There is a burning desire for people to see their national teams participating out there. With football being the most popular sport in the world and gaining so much popularity here in the US it’s even more welcoming and heartening to see our national team here. The United States is looking forward to Trinidad and Tobago success over here,” Ramnanan said. Meantime, goalkeeper Jan Michael Williams is focussing on the Guatemala affair.

Hart expects tough Guatemala challenge
Trinidad and Tobago’s senior men footballers will have a walk through Soldier Field, Chicago tomorrow (Wednesday) on the eve of their opening 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup encounter with Guatemala. They will train once on Wednesday in the early afternoon at the University of Illinois training field.
The Team arrived in Chicago at 3pm TT Time from Fort Lauderdale before settling in at the Marriott Magnificent Mile hotel.
Head coach Stephen Hart told reporters in Chicago that he is expecting Guatemala to pose a difficult challenge to the “Soca Warriors” but nothing that would be beyond Kenwyne Jones and his teammates.
“I think they will be a difficult opponent for us. We’ve had a look at them on tape and we saw also them against the US a couple days ago. The scoreline was flattering for the Americans because Guatemala also created a lot of scoring chances which they didn’t capitalize on. They have always been a decent team and I expect them to come at us,” Hart said.
“But I think we are also up for this challenge. Our immediate aim is to get out of the group stage which I think we are capable of doing and then of course we are here to go one step better than we did in 2013 which would mean us wanting to get to the quarter finals and then get into the last four,” Hart added before conducting a training session with the team at the University of Illinois Training field at 7pm on Tuesday.
T&T player Joevin Jones is back in familiar territory and would be more accustomed to the conditions here than most of his teammates having been with MLS club Chicago Fire for the past few months.
“It’s great to be here with the national team. I’ve been here playing for a good bit of time now and to be able to play with my country is special. We’ve been working quite hard over the past few days and hopefully we can show it on the field on Thursday,” Jones said.
“I have a few fans at the club here and hopefully they will be supporting us in the match on Thursday. It would be wonderful to taste victory with Trinidad and Tobago here in Chicago,” Jones added.
Slovakia-based winger Lester Peltier was the final player expected to join the team on Tuesday, coming in from Slovakia.

I'm hedging my bets, sitting on the fence, could go either way, pick your favourite phrase ;) I'm gonna plum for T&T, might even lay a bit of money on it, but sadly think that I might be wrong.

if our players follow the coaches instructions and play with purpose there's no way guatemala could beat us, it would have to be purposeful sabotage like they did in jordan. i've seen guatemala and they are the worst team in the whole competition, especially now since they don't have ruiz.
Negative. Pescado was the mastermind slowing down the proceedings versus Bermuda. He's involved at this Gold Cup.

Wow! What a hasty generalization based on some oblique references to external pressure- from that man done attribute it to specific person or admonistration- look as a coach and a player there are variables beyond ones locus of control - for players and coach alike the most redeeming factor is the preparation and play onthe field. In many apects an opportunity to play at a tournament like this has more gains for the individual playand coach as oppose to any Federation administration. The team's success and players performances will result in more possible benefits for players looking for exposure and possible foreign contracts.
The discipline another's us required of a player amd coach to focus on the energy on where they have control over and wher they could dictate the outcome. This coach as one of our own has a lot more to gain rather than packing a suitcase and waking- allyuh forget how unceremoniously he was dues by Canada after the lost to Honurous? Is like how quickly Ben Johnson became a Jamacian again after the doping scandal! Coach Hart is in a position to exert positive change and to show what could be accomplished in spite of- as his resielcy come forward so will the teams- if he falters as are su.t of the external pressures the team may be impacted as well. So I believe this coach who understands the system, the culture and the bacchanalian of the Federation has the most to give to lead andto shape the nationl team away from the distractions nd to bring our football back to a point of respectability in spite of...,
People who basking in bashing an easy target forget all the legacy ofa SA who ran rampant with mismanagement of the funds and left it in the state we are in today -Then instead of former minister of sports and present ones trying to come together to resolve issues and make things right, it appears that they are creating more divisiveness among players and Federation this adding to the turmoil- people ought to be part of a solution rather that adding to thero let IMHO
Talented players disciplined players passionate players willing players will prevail in spite of a dexter Al pressures ought not be an excuse for failure- everyone needs to hold a mirror to himself and see who has the powers to make a difference and a commitment to the betterment of football in TNT!

T&T Guardian Reports.
T&T Soca Warriors will be looking to get out of the blocks strongly when they face Guatemala in the 2015 Concacaf Gold Cup Group C opener at Soldier Field Stadium, Illinois, Chicago from 6 pm today.
Both teams have a long history with the last meeting between the two teams being in the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign when T&T pulled off a 0-0 draw in Guatemala City to stay alive in the semi-final round of qualification, after a 1-1 first-leg result in T&T.
In their last meeting, both teams drew 1-1 in 2007 in their final Gold Cup Group stage match while T&T had a 3-2 home win in the second-leg of the 2006 successful Germany World Cup qualifying campaign to avenge a 5-1 away loss.
Yesterday, T&T coach Stephen Hart, appearing in his second Gold Cup with the Soca Warriors after a quarterfinal finish last time out, had one final session at the University of Illinois.
Speaking on the eve of the clash with the Central Americans Hart said he was anxious to get over the opening game.
“The first game is always the one you want to get out of the way in a tournament like this. There is anxiety, eagerness and just a willingness to take the field and play the game. And of course the performance and the result somewhat sets the pace for the rest of the tournament,” Hart said.
Hart’s men will enter today’s clash on a goal drought, but the T&T coach is confident of turning around their fortunes in Chicago.
Officially, T&T is without a goal in 450 international minutes dating back to the Caribbean Cup in November - but did earn a 1-0 win over Haiti behind closed doors, also on Friday, in an unofficial friendly while Guatemala advanced in Concacaf's World Cup qualifying with a 1-0 aggregate win over Bermuda in June, to end a seven-match winless streak before suffering a 4-0 loss to USA in a friendly on Friday.
Since July 1, the “Soca Warrior” have had a strong eight days of preparations in both Miami and Chicago 1 and according to Hart the players have all showed good energy levels.
“I felt it’s good to have certain leadership and people who have played in the tournament especially now where we have a lot of young players who have done well and deserve to be here," Hart said.
With respect to Guatemala Hart says he is expecting a difficult challenge, but nothing that would be beyond Kenwyne Jones and his teammates.
Tournament officials revealed yesterday that 48,000 tickets have been sold for the double header which will also see Cuba taking on Mexico in the second match. The majority of fans will no doubt include Guatemalans, Mexicans and Cubans but the atmosphere is expected to be abuzz and a win for the Soca Warriors will be the ideal start. The conditions have been chilly with temperatures ranging between 16-20 degrees Celsius.
T&T: Guatemala’s ‘Black Beast’.
T&T Express Reports.
Guatemalans have described Trinidad and Tobago as their “Black Beast”, meaning a ferocious and dangerous foe which has often hurt them.
It may be a fitting description. The Soca Warriors have knocked Guatemala out of World Cup qualifying the last two times the countries have met. T&T have not lost to Guatemala since a humiliating 5-1 away loss during the 2006 World Cup campaign. But with the Guatemalans looking qualifiers, T&T won 3-2 at home, edging the Central Americans to fourth place in CONCACAF on the way to qualifying for the World Cup. T&T also kayoed Guatemala in 2010 following a goalless draw in Guatemala City.
Matches between Trinidad and Guatemala are always close, with the Soca Warriors having a slight winning edge. Three CONCACAF Gold meetings have followed that trend. The teams drew 1-1 in the last meeting in 2007; T&T won 4-2 in 2000 under Bertille St Clair and Guatemala won 1-0 in 1991.

By Shaun Fuentes (Guardian).
Former national goalkeeper Shaka Hislop wants the Soca Warriors to pull out all the stops in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Hislop, who saved at the 2001 CONCACAF Gold Cup under Rene Simoes, sees the tournament as a main stage for teams in the region outside of the World Cup and believes it could be critical towards this country’s road towards regaining some respect in the region and beyond.
“There is a lot that has as happened not just with T&T but in world football in general. My hope is that it’s a clean slate for us to reinvent to refine and refocus our football. That is my greatest hope. As we set off on another World Cup campaign and Gold Cup I think it’s a perfect opportunity for us to say this is who we are and this is who we will be going forward,” Hislop said.
Regarding T&T’s Gold Cup campaign specifically, the ESPN football pundit said, “There is an opportunity to write their names in history. We’ve shown in the past that we can do well in this tournament. I saw the team in the last Gold Cup and I think they were able to put on a performance that surprised many and it was a good sign for us. This time around, with everything that has happened, hopefully we can give a strong showing again and push on from here.”

That was also Joevin Jones’ first goal for the T&T senior team.
MOTM so far they can't deal with his speed and skill. Even though Cato scored I really do not think he has played well. And lastly Guatemala is horrible if we were actually playing well it really could be 5 or 6.

To tell you the truth, it has been ages since I have seen TT score quick goals like those at this level of competition!!!yes it's true but don't be mislead with the lead, we are playing very poorly especially in defense. we are simply not possessing the ball and making clever passes. this guatemala team is rubbish and we're supposed to be punishing them.

Actually, I think the defence is holding its own. It is the mid fielders who need to keep their formation in check. But yes this Guatemala team good for 5. We missed some clear cut goals. I hope we up our game in the second half and keep them constantly on the backfoot. Hart really have to pong some sense in their heads.

Of note, they ran a quiz question soliciting responses via Twitter from respondents across South America. The correct answer to the question was "Dwight Yorke". However, someone submitted "Stern John" as an answer, and they provided the entire content with honorable mention of a lil background on Stern. Respondents from Argentina, Chile and Peru provided the correct answer.

Some ah allyuh rell full ah shite oui. No matter what our players do you have to complain about something. A ball ricochet to KJ he square up and take a side foot strike, defender get lucky but hey blame KJ. Cato pressure defenders into a mistake and he score, but lewwe forget that. Lewwe forget the run into the box that force the keeper to rebound the ball to JJ. Lewwe forget that he also doing what he has to on the other flank to say he not playing well. Leading by 3 and it working against this team, but lewwe forget this game to focus on what wouldn't work against Mexico. Some allyuh is de biggest assholes T&T ever produce. And allyuh wonder why many players will avoid this site like ah f00kin plague?
Breds, these ball jumbies on this site know what they talking about. We know we counter acting and scoring. But when you winning you fail to see your faults. These guys just voicing their opinions.

Moreso with Ruiz on the field. Evidence of his gamesmanship is already on display. And, he's seeking to exert influence on the ref. If they get to 3-2, Ruiz will take it up a notch.

Great result for the team. One win away from the quarterfinals. I think it showed character to hold out for the result. Being up 3 goals is a tricky situation because you naturally drop to defend. Congrats to the team, and so far it looks like Hart's system change worked.This is the signature of a good coach, when yuh system eh wukin and cutarse sharing left and right. Change things up!
Post by: Storeboy on July 09, 2015, 07:20:16 PM
1. Our passing is atrocious. We have to pass accurately in tight spaces
2. We have to learn to play one-touch football. We hold on to the ball too long then lose it too easily.
3. When we take hard shots, it should be low not sky high.
4. Despite the aerial threat, I am not convinced that Kenwyne Jones is a good striker.
Wishing this gives then a little confidence without complacency or we'll be packing our bags in spite of the good start.

I not against opinions nor am I not seeing things that may need adjusting against a stronger opponent. However by most accounts a 3-0 scoreline in the first half reflects dominance. So to take that away from them and make it about Guatemala playing shit is a disservice to our warriors. To choose this particular moment to launch into a myriad of criticisms just shows how ungrateful we as fans can be. No one expected such a scoreline in the first half. Why not appreciate it and credit the players for taking advantage of Guatemala not being ready from the opening whistle?

I wondered how this would play out given the "new relations" between the countries. But defecting probably beats playing Russian roulette on getting another chance to enter the country.

As an occasional critic of Jan's, generally I saw better application tonight.
However, one of the concerns doh was on back passes and subsequent clearances. That needs to be refined by finding a better balance between timing of execution and precision in distribution. Some of those moments were a tad risky.
And, the players making those passes need to evaluate whether better options are available and choose those. There's no point in doing the opponent's work for him.

as i reiterated before. the goal we conceded was a direct result of jan not trusting his defenders by not staying on his line while defending an attack. that goal would have been a cool tip over or an easy grab had been been closer to his goal line.
this is how he concedes most of his goal by being on the edge of the 6 yrd box like he's a bloody central defender. learn to trust your defenders jan, most great keepers do. get some tapes of petr chec and learn how to position yourself. no pun son.
EXCEPT DAT JAN DIDN' PLAY....HE SEND HE BAD VIBES FROM D BENCH ???
Who was keeping? Troy Marquis?
wasn't phillips ??? could swear I see he name on the startin line up

Keep it up. If we can improve versus Cuba then we should be able to come away with another 3 points against them on Sunday! :beermug:

1. Delicious game plan of attacking onslaught by T&T in first half with overpowering aerial power and blistering wing play by team
2. Super new role by Joevin, catering for the absence of Molino.
3. Guerra was showing deadly skill. The T&T team really looked frightening to the Guacamoleans
4. When last have we scored early, and 3 goals to boot, in first half and conceded NONE before the 1/2 time whistle
5. Great morale boosting win after all these months of depressing football administrative issues and lack of preparation
6. Well done BraveHart, staff and team for a great win against a desperate Central American team
7. If Guata looked bad then we made them look bad.
8. Great to see so many on the scoresheets
9. Good work by the goalkeeper and great fighting by the defense.

We are lacking a dynamic CAM(#10) , Molino's absence is a massive blow... Guerra is more of a languid presence while Plaza is dynamic his ability and decision making is not high... An option may be Joevin Jones and use Peltier and Cato wide .

My take
POSITIVES:
- Guatemala buckled under our pressing tactics and Cato's goal came as a result of that
- They had real problems defending our corners. Bateau's goal was a result of that but we also had other chances to score from corners.
- KJ and Guerra held the ball up excellently and had good interchanges with each other as well as supporting players.
- Joevin Jones was Man of the Half. Looked dangerous every time he got the ball and it was his penetration that resulted in the 3rd goal scored by him
- Such was our dominance that the backline had very little to do because Ruiz was always surrounded by 2 or 3 players...isolated on his own, and we could easily have been 5-0 at the half.
- I really liked how our players put pressure on the Guatemalans in midfield causing a ton of turn overs
- I am a Daniel Cyrus fan and when his head is in the game, he is a really effective player
CONCERNS:
- For all the pressure and turn overs, our goals all came from capitalizing on really bad Guatemalan mistakes, rather than efficient play on our end. Better teams will not be so lax. That said....at least we capitalized. I saw the Canadian striker Cyle Larin (Molino's teammate at Orlando) get the same chance against El Salvador as Cato did yesterday and hit it high and wide
EPIC MISS (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2518620-canada-striker-cyle-larin-produces-epic-miss-vs-el-salvador-at-gold-cup)
Other than that, no real complaints from the 1st half I saw.

Yeah Palos . . . Spot on even with Cyrus.

Interesting rope a dope from Harty saying 4-3-3 in the build up but went with his customary 4-2-3-1/4-4-1-1 last night... Thought the tactics were spot on.
We are lacking a dynamic CAM(#10) , Molino's absence is a massive blow... Guerra is more of a languid presence while Plaza is dynamic his ability and decision making is not high... An option may be Joevin Jones and use Peltier and Cato wide .
was wondering about that since d formation didn't look "4-3-3-like" the wingers and wingbacks got forward really well though, so it was all good
Post by: reggae-fan on July 10, 2015, 12:55:00 PM
Cant say I'm surprised T&T got the better of Guatemala, LOL at them for still using old men like Contreras and Pescadito, who it seems have been playing for Guatemala since i was a little boy.
T&T has Cuba next, so i believe you passage to the next round is pretty much secure alongside Mexico. Jamaica has Canada, anything but a win there will put pressure on the boyz to make it out of the group.
HAiti have the USA next, not an easy game. T&T sitting pretty.

Good points but what about Cummings... Tall man said he has it.. That #10 calling for him... Left to be seen...
Post by: Peong on July 10, 2015, 02:37:56 PM
Without his saving touch that play was dead. Good effort. Now he just has to work on scoring sitters ;D
Also fork Ruiz that man come out of retirement to continue the nastiness.

That #10 is Guerra own....when he want it. And coach will know when Guerra wants it when he does what he is asked to do.
3 games in 6 days will be tough for this group though. They're not the fittest so the coach will have to manage his resources accordingly.
Does he field his strongest team against Cuba therefore going all out for the win? If that happens, he can rest his players against Mexico so they're fresh for the second round. Of course, those on a yellow will risk another yellow that makes them not eligible for the next game
Or.....does he gamble, rest a couple key players, and hope the team still gets the victory giving him more flexibility with the squad for upcoming matches?

I left Guerra name off the #10 hunt until he..... 8)
I say Hart rest the couple of players and let players like winchester, glenn, cummings and corbin get a chance against cuba... i believe they can pull off the win.. however, there is a chance Hart will play a full team, win and if they get any yellows, they will miss Mexico and be ready for the next round..
I hope i have that cards scenario right... if you get another yellow, you can't play the next game, but will be available for the game after..

I like how allyuh men done concede loss to Mexico already. Smh.
(Me too.)
I don't think that is the consensus... At this point, the objective is to advance into the quarterfinal round but with the high pressure style of play being enforced by our technical staff, 3 games in 6 days can be extremely taxing on the body. If we beat Cuba on Sunday, a quarterfinal berth would be a mere formality so resting some of the starters against Mexico can be an option.
Not conceding defeat to Mexico, but the possibility does exist that we may face them in the later rounds, 'so yuh have to play dead to catch cobo alive'.

when we beat Cuba my fellow supporter... when, not if...
thanks for the info guys on the cards, that's a sigh of relief, was worried there for a moment...
since that is the case, play our full team and go for the win, regardless of cards, play a mix of players against mexico because of the rigors of this tournament, we need fresh legs going into the quarters..
i don't think anyone conceding defeat here but after we win this upcoming match, it is better to face Mexico again after we have 2 more matches as a unit under our belt, i believe we will make the semis minimum... which will either be US or Mexico..

Words cannot describe how huge this win was. Saw the whole game and it was thrilling.
More progress in the rebranding of T&T which suffered a serious interruption recently
Jan, even though you get a li'l mash up, thanks for saving a certain goal that would have caused panic in the camp
You are areal trooper and thanks Marvin for stepping up to the plate
Thanks to all the players for playing with heart and soul. You all are real warriors. Thanks BraveHart for tolerating all the BS from TTFA
