there are no easy games for Trinidad, Cuba will give us a good game , TnT and Guate are the games they are circling to get points from.a full strength cuba is a force to recon with but not this pick up side that showed up tonight. i could only wish that their visa problems linger on past sunday and more of their solid players defect.
I think we will and line up advancing in the group.
what is the verdict any way, are they going to make it to the tournament or are the six players and coach out of luck for the whole gold cup?

We have to be very careful in this game. T&T has never beaten another CFU team in a GC match. A win or even a draw and we are safely into the next round.
Serious? Any idea what the win-loss-draw record is?
What happen we does feel CFU solidarity or something?

Is not really as bad as it sounds. We've only played two Gold Cup matches against CFU opponents. We lost 2-0 to Haiti in 2013, and 1-0 to Martinique in 2002. Coincidentally both games were played in Miami.
Our all-time head-to-head vs Cuba is as follows:

By Shaun Fuentes (TTFA).
Trinidad and Tobago’s senior footballers will be looking to emulate their 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup performance with another positive result against Cuba on Sunday to take them through to the quarter final stage for the second straight time.
Skipper Kenwyne Jones feels another qualification out of the group phase will indicate the progress made by the “Soca Warriors” over the past three years. Jones and his men made the "quarters" in 2013 before losing to Mexico 1-0 in Atlanta.
“Credit to the team for the way we started the game and we put ourselves in a position where we could cruise. We wanted to come out and still to put pressure on them. Ten minutes before the first half ended and then into the second half it seemed as if we were playing against twelve,” Jones told TTFA Media about the 3-1 victory over Guatemala on Thursday.
“It’s always important to get off to a winning start. A win or even in the next game can guarantee us going to the quarter finals once again and I think that measures the standard and level of progress we made in the last two to three years. “
Jones added that he felt T&T will need continue defying the odds against them.
“I think all the teams in the tournament are trying to use that against us, the fact that we have had a lot happening off the field in our football over the pas few years. Even Guatemala today had a few digs, trying to talk about Jack Warner helping us, But I can’t remember the last time Jack Warner kicked a ball. For us I think we came out on the field and despite all the odds against us, showed our class.”
San Jose Earthquakes forward Cordell Cato was also elated with his goal at Soldier Field.
“It was definitely amazing being able to come out in the first game with a win and the way the team played and being able to get a goal just topped it off.
“I think this win means a lot more than everyone could imagine because the results leading up to the Gold Cup wasn’t the right one but to come here and perform the way we did it was definitely what we needed.We’ll go back the drawing board and prepare again for the next game against Cuba,” Cato said.
Sheldon Bateau said he was elated to open the scoring for T&T.
“It was a great feeling to get my first goal at the senior level and be able to help the team get the three point. We lost some control in the second half but we knew we could maintain the lead and see them off.
Team manager William Wallace maintained that all efforts will be made to ensure the players have only football to focus on.
“We are trying to stay on top of things to ensure that the players have only their opponents and games to focus on. As it relates to all the conditions away from the field, match wages and other matters, we will be going over time to make sure things are in place and that we can continue in a positive manner. I think the result on Thursday is also a great boost, for our team moral and for the whole image of the team going forward.” Wallace stated.
The Team ARRIVED in Phoenix around 8pm TT time via chartered CONCACAF flight from Chicago.

I would do the same but it good for Guatemala they look for that licks. Only way it would have been better is if it was 5-1 or 6-1 to up the ante.

T&T Guardian Reports.
T&T will be looking to advance to the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Gold Cup for the third time in the history of the competition when it faces off with Caribbean rival Cuba at the University of Phoenix Stadium from 3.30 pm (6.30 pm local time) today.
A win for T&T will seal its place in the quarterfinals while a draw will virtually assure its progress as well into the knockout phase. Mexico, which topped Cuba 6-0 on Friday will face Guatemala in the second game of the double-header.
Cuba has problems of its own, as aside from conceding six in its first match, it was without six players with another player, Keiler Garcia defecting in Chicago. Also missing at their last match was head coach Raul Gonzalez due to travel issues. Hart wants T&T to take nothing for granted against the Cubans which they drew with 0-0 at the 2014 Caribbean Cup and also lost 1-0 to in the final in 2012.
T&T has lost to Caribbean opponents at the Gold Cup in 2002 and 2013. Under Rene Simoes, after drawing with World Cup bound Costa Rica 1-1 in the opening match on a Stern John last minute penalty, T&T then lost to Martinique 1-0 to be sent packing. And in 2013, Haiti were 2-0 winners in Miami before T&T bounced back to defeat Honduras 2-0 to advance to the quarterfinals.
“I don’t worry about tradition. It is a matter of different game, different time and different environment and what we have to do is improve on the things that we did well and cut down on the number of errors we made in crucial parts of the field,” Hart said after a training session at Arizona State University yesterday morning.
“A win is the motive for every game. You don’t play otherwise but yes it would help us because this is a very quick turn around before the game tomorrow. “Traditionally our second game after a win, we have a tendency to lose focus and concentration. Nothing comes easy in a tournament. In a tournament environment anything can happen. I keep trying to remind them about that. They have to play this next game as if it’s a final because this game guarantees you going to the knockout stage and that’s where everyone wants to be.”
It’s expected to be around 40 degrees celsius in Phoenix today but the T&T head coach says T&T will handle it. “Both teams will be accustomed to the conditions even though it’s that hot over here but we’ll get on with it. We have no excuses.” Hart is also eyeing what could be a record of some sorts in his fifth Concacaf Gold Cup as a head coach. He’s taken Canada to two quarterfinals and a semi-final, also guiding T&T to the quarterfinals in 2013.
“The main focus is the team at the moment. With everything that been happening, I think it will be a boost for us and that’s our focus at the moment,” he said.
Skipper Jones will be looking to push his teammates towards another win. “It’s important for us to get another good result and book our place in the next stage. I think at the moment we know what it will take and come game time we will take the game on its own merit and do what is required of us,” Jones said.
Hart will have all 23 players at his disposal with no injuries to report. Four players are on yellow cards including Andre Boucaud, Khaleem Hyland, Daneil Cyrus and Radanfah Abu Bakr from the first match. Local fans can view the match live on Fox Soccer 2.

Reuters
A second Cuba player has defected during the CONCACAF Gold Cup leaving the squad down to 15 for Sunday's match against Trinidad and Tobago, assistant coach Walter Benitez said.
Midfielder Arael Arguellez quit Cuba's hotel following in the footsteps of striker Kailen Garcia, who deserted the team before last Thursday's Group C debut against Mexico in Chicago.
Garcia has turned up in Miami saying he wants "to live the American dream", Benitez told reporters on Saturday.
"(Arguellez left) after the match against Mexico. We had got to the hotel, we had dinner and he left," Benitez said.
Benitez is temporarily in charge of the team, crushed 6-0 by Mexico, because head coach Raul Gonzalez and six players have not yet managed to obtain visas to enter the United States.
He said they hoped Gonzalez and the players would arrive on Sunday ahead of Cuba's second match at Phoenix University's stadium against the Trinidadians, who won their opening match 3-1 against Guatemala.

For the life of me I cannot comprehend why we waste so many corners when men like KJ and Abu Bakr in the box :frustrated:Set pieces have always been one of T&T's weakest points. To this day, we have never had a free kick specialist the likes of Beckham or Pirlo. Something they really need to work on.

Again some things remain the same but T&T touches and ball control have always been their problem. But I like joevin Jones could be a little more inventive and creative but he's nice on the ball at times.
He is a defender who can play left wing. Not taking anything away from JJ. If a coach ask him to play in goal he would . He works real hard. It just shows the problem we have with grooming quality forwards.
Post by: asylumseeker on July 12, 2015, 05:34:05 PM
Preacher, yuh right! Tactically ... structure etc. better than consistently seen in recent time.
I would add also our game has variation in our ball movement ... such that Abu Bakr's long deliveries actually complement our attacking movement rather than being in spite of the tactical orientation. Much was pleasing to the eye.
KJ's movement off the ball has also been encouraging ... and better.

guerra and peltier needs to do better, their decision making is poor for this level of football. guerra seems like he has lost a couple of steps and is not as vibrant and effective as he was two years ago, he is easily moved off the ball and is constantly falling down in the final attacking third. peltier on the other hand is over dribbling. he simply needs to play the simple pass and learn how to cross a ball sensibly.CO SIGN.Also Jones seems to be working hard for them but they not returning the favor.

we need a better striker
He's in India.
Maybe he is talking about Cornell Glenn. But I hope Hart give Johnathan Glenn a game against Mex.

Good win on to the quarterfinals. Im happy with the way the team handled their business. We hardly looked troubled. For me Kenwyne is doing a fine job and working hard. Without Molino with him he has nobody to link up with.Just imagine if Molino was playing upfront with KJ. These games would not have even been close.
On a side note, it is good to see other players stepping up and scoring goals, which is taking that burden off KJ's shoulders.

these guys seem to have little awareness of where they are on the field especially when they get the ball...its either they turn into trouble or run into troubleIt doesn't happen once in a while,it happens all the fackin time,it is painful to look at.Before the ball reach them they must have a quick look around,it takes a couple seconds.Why can't Hart see that,it is so bloody elementary.No wonder we keep losing the ball in good situations.I hope Hart fix up ting for the Mexico match,

Never mind talking backwards talk about Cornel Glenn- yuh think he around for 2018? All these tournaments is to provide growth experience as we build for 2018- see the BIGGER picture nah
It was a throwaway comment not to be taken seriously in terms of the future. HOWEVER, in purist terms Cornell is a better striker. There's no argument there.
He's just not age-appropriate for the current cycle etc.

I think there's another way to look at it too (although ah doh disagree) ... we don't have an opportunistic fwd ... a different type of player on top would latch on to a couple of the balls Guerra played. Certainly that one across the face of the goal ...
BUT, we have to be realistic regarding who we have at our disposal. I think Guerra will grow into this. Some of what we are seeing are the indulgences and luxuries of Pro League conditions not being available at this level. Things he could geh away with in the PL, not so much here ... but I have confidence in him to hit his stride.
Regarding Peltier (just adding him in here, although not tied to the Molino comment) ... I could see his intent. Perhaps he's over-thinking his options with the ball just a tad too much.
A player like Peltier could come good at any point. Some specific individual and small-group stuff to really shave off what seem to be some timing issues and he could be on the top shelf again. At the ned of the day, I don't see him being out in the wilderness not being called for NT duty.

We are actually playing possession football, building out of the back. The players look very comfortable playing out of tight spaces. The defense looks solid on dealing with cross balls. Hart is turning water into wine, because he hasn't been afforded the resources required to properly prepare this team.
That in particular was intriguing. Fuh real!

I want to see as many shots as possible on target at the Mexican goal and good possession football and I will be happy regardless of the result.
Goals win matches. I don't think playing for a draw will suit our team at this point.
We need to come out with the mentality to score as many goals as possible in the first half and then hold on for the win in the 2nd half as that strategy has worked for us so far. Don't see why it shouldn't work against Mexico.

Never misguided.. Just intelligence and intuition.. Same way over 9 years ago I said Hart should be the coach besides a Dutch or German..
Same way it was 2-0..
Mexico is not as great as many think they are...
Hart will go for the win, i think 1-0 TT.. If by the 85 minute we are tied.. We will draw the match... But I see a win in the cards...

if we approach this mexican team with that strategy they will embarrass us like they did cuba because they will be fielding their best 11 on wednesday. we must use this game as a way to absorb pressure and defend for the majority of the game and hit them on the counter attack. i guess is that hart will use a 80% young team to bleed them, this is why he allowed them to play panama at home because this is what he wanted all along, to give them the experience of playing a team of high caliber and this is a perfect opportunity.So what does this draw mean.

The problem with the mindset locally is that they are too negative.. Negative thinking leads you nowhere..
People need to start being a little bit more positive, not unrealistic but positive.. We have the talent and skill, it's just experience and the team playing more games together to get them to that standard..

On the Spanish feed, ppl were tweeting in that Peltier handled the ball and they asked that the coverage team review the video. As it turns out ... luck seemed to favour the brave. Go easy on Lester. A bit of zeal and dramatics and we might have been looking at a disallowed goal.
