eh heh, allyuh want win. Ranking 209 and last in Concacaf. Amazing Anguilla could still put a team together. Ah win is ah win, right ? They did beat St Martin in March. Record for 2019 is 24-4 in 6 games. So they can test our defense once or twice and allows goals only 1 per 22.5 minutes average..sooo, good test for our forwards to score a goal in less than 20 minutes. ;D
Record will be good after this one. ;D ;D
A little warm up for the bigger game, Ecuador, South American team, no matter they 2nd to last in Conmebol..now if we can win that one...we could very well be on a streak and ready to play bigger fish, maybe Antigua and Barbuda.

Is a joke. Wtf we have to gain playing Anguilla beside breaking the streak lol

Let's see if we play our Hylands or our next generation.

You would think and hope so. But DJW will only go once he is defeated. The same goes for DL.
DJW is already looking for a Trump card (the irony) to challenge the result of the elections. When he loses, he will tell FIFA that there was some type of wrongdoing. The hope being that FIFA intervenes and nulls the results. This man wants to make sure that the house continues to burn even after he's gone.
DL will be gone after DJW. He knows his days are numbered. He'll petition for a big payout as his chances of landing a good coaching position will be very low .. again from hero to villain
-
How shameful can you get? so they wants to end the year with a win or else they’ll break a record of being winless in so many games, now, they can’t beat st vincent, nor grenada, nor guyana because they tried all three teams and was winless against them, now they’re actually looking for a sure win to save their disastrous record so they sought out the weakest and I do mean the weakest team in the world.
they are so weak that even the bobolees of Europe would beat this team (andora the Faroe Islands malta), but my wish is that they bring their British born players from the conference league and give them a good surprise licking. now that would be nothing short of poetic justice. DJW must go down as the lamest of all our lame duck administrators making jack warner seem like a nobel peace prize winner.

TTFA Media
Trinidad and Tobago’s International Friendly at home to Anguilla has been brought forward by a day. The match which will be played at the Ato Boldon Stadium will now take place on Sunday November 10th at 6:00pm. The shift in date has come about due to FIFA regulations.

Sancho: Moving Anguilla match is total disrespect
By Jelani Beckles (T&T Newsday)
ACTING Pro League chairman Brent Sancho has described the decision by the TT Football Association (TTFA) to move the national senior men's football match against Anguilla from Monday to Sunday as "total disrespect."
A TTFA media release said the shift in date was due to FIFA regulations.”The match will be played at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva, at 6 pm.
Ssancho said in a press release on Friday: “As a Pro League club owner, and now as acting chairman of the TT Pro League, I have always tried to support our national teams. Even when we have had important games, we have still tried to accommodate TTFA’s wishes.
“But this decision by David John-Williams – because I know for a fact that this hasn’t come from the TTFA board – is totally disrespecting clubs, players, supporters and sponsors.
"We have First Citizens Cup matches being played on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and you want to play senior men’s international on the same weekend?”
Sancho said most clubs had planned to play their national players over the weekend in the First Citizens Cup. The former national defender and Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs said it is an intense schedule and clubs don't have to release their players because the national match is not in a FIFA window.
"That can never be healthy for players. And, of course, as this game now falls outside of the FIFA window, clubs are not compelled to release their players. While clubs may have respect for the position of Dennis Lawrence, they may well use this opportunity to vent their displeasure at David John-Williams lack of respect.”
Eleven Pro League clubs will be in action over the weekend.
“We have the ridiculous situation where the national team will kick off at exactly the same time as a First Citizens Cup match, on a surface that would have seen two 90-minute games played the day before. Imagine the condition of that surface for an international game if it rains on Saturday!”
Sancho added that the Cup fixtures had been arranged weeks ago and it was poor planning by the TTFA that forced it to bring the game forward.
“Even playing on Monday as originally planned was ambitious to say the least. Clubs would want a full roster for the (Cup) and the recovery time for players was dangerously short as it was. So to bring the game forward is nothing but crazy.”
To further add to the anger of club coaches, no official confirmation has been sent to clubs or the league of the match against Anguilla.
Sancho said a formal letter of complaint would be sent to John-Williams by Pro League CEO Julia Baptiste in an attempt to avoid such thoughtless decision-making in the future.

T and T is out of contention? they are leveled on points with martinique and a game in hand for both teams but they are out of contention? this type of lazy journalism truly peeves me. to think that there are people out there getting paid quite handsomely to do a job but fail in their duties to simply walk over to a computer and do basic proper research is laziness beyond compare and quite disrespectful actually, but why am i surprised, look at the people who they’re serving, a bunch of equally lazy sleepy irrational people who lacks care. no surprise there.

T&T looks to end 13-match winless streak.
By Nigel Simon (Guardian).
T&T’s senior football coach Dennis Lawrence and his men will be hoping to end their 13-match winless streak when they come up against minnows Aguilla today at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva from 6 pm.
The last encounter between the teams was six years ago in the 2012 Caribbean Cup, a 10-0 win in which Jamal Gay netted a beaver-trick and Keon Daniel hat-trick at Warner Park Stadium, Basseterre, St Kitts/Nevis.
Following today’s match, T&T will travel to face Ecuador for another friendly on November 14 before facing Honduras in their closing CONCACAF Nations League qualifier in San Pedro Sula on November 17.
T&T will enter on the heels of three straight 2-0 losses against Honduras, Mexico and Venezuela respectively.
Speaking before his team’s final training session at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo, yesterday, Lawrence said the preparation for the match had been good.
“The boys have come in and they have shown good enthusiasm and good spirit and I think it is important that we understand the reason why we have the Anguilla friendly.
And immediately when we looked at the situation, we know the players that were involved in the USL in the USA, those in Canada and India, we knew their season going to finish probably two and a half weeks to three weeks before the Honduras match,” he said.
“So it was important that we got them home as quickly as possible to keep them active and training gives you one aspect, but we also know the importance of getting that match fitness, so we approach Anguilla, who we need to say thank you to for taking the fixture.”
Many fans had questioned why T&T decided to play against such a lowly-ranked side at this stage, especially since they need a stiffer challenge heading into their Nations League match.
Yesterday, Lawrence offered, “Why Anguilla, because they play only one game in the next Nations League window, which is on November 19. Majority of the other teams play two games, so it allowed us to play Anguilla in this friendly so we can keep the boys up to some sort of match rhythm in preparation for the Honduras game.
“We have the majority of the boys here, one or two are missing who are going to meet us in Ecuador.
“Andre Fortune at the end of his season, he then went on to a trial at another MLS club which we allowed him to do because I think it is important that we understand that it is his future and he needs to look after it. But for the rest, Ataulla Guerra, Leston Paul, Mekeil Williams, Alvin Jones, Duane Muckette, they are all here. Then we managed to get some of the boys from India early, Daneil Cyrus, Marcus Joseph, Aubrey David, so we have a lot of the boys here, that allows us to play this game against Anguilla and that’s the thinking behind the whole process going into the Honduras game.”
Lawrence said they decided against playing a Pro League team because he believes in “playing an unknown team that will come here and make it difficult for us.”

Lawrence: FIFA window issue forced match change.
By Nigel Simon (Guardian).
T&T senior men’s football team coach Dennis Lawrence says better communication between the T&T Football Association and T&T Pro League could have avoided the clashes with the First Citizens Cup fixtures and T&T versus Anguilla match on today. However, he made it clear that the information about the T&T friendly was passed on to T&T Pro League officials.
On Friday, Central FC managing director and T&T Pro League chairman Brent Sancho, a former national defender, labelled the move by the T&TFA to bring forward the T&T/Anguilla friendly, originally carded for Monday, by 24 hours as disrespectful to the Pro League.
“As a Pro League club owner, and now as acting chairman of the TT Pro League, I have always tried to support our national teams. Even when we have had important games, we have still tried to accommodate TTFA’s wishes,” Sancho said in a release.
“But this decision by David John-Williams – because I know for a fact that this hasn’t come from the TTFA board – is totally disrespecting clubs, players, supporters, and sponsors. We have First Citizens Cup matches being played on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and you want to play a senior men’s international on the same weekend?”
Sancho pointed out that the Anguilla game was originally carded for tomorrow and that clubs had made plans to allow players to attend national team training. However, most clubs had planned to play those players in this weekend’s First Citizens Cup matches.
All eleven Pro League clubs are in action this weekend.
Sancho added that the FCB fixtures had been arranged weeks ago and it was the poor planning of TTFA that forced them to bring the game forward, adding the Pro league had also received no official confirmation of the friendly international.
“This is discourteous and totally disrespectful. Because of the timing, I have not had a chance to discuss this with the clubs, but Dennis Lawrence should be concerned about who will show up for the game on Sunday and what kind of condition the players will be in,” he said.
Sancho said a formal letter of complaint will be sent to TTFA president David John-Williams in an attempt to avoid such thoughtless decision making in the future.
Speaking at a national team briefing ahead of today’s match yesterday, Lawrence admitted the clash with matches was unfortunate.
“I think sometimes communication can be a serious problem because all the way through the entire thing there was communication in regards to the game being played. The only thing which I would say, which was a bit unfortunate, was that we would have liked to play the match on Monday, November 11, but then looking at the FIFA Rules and Regulations, you are not allowed to play more than two friendlies in an international window,” Lawrence said.
“So immediately when that happened, we had to make an adjustment, which was either to play the match on November 10 or after. Everything was already arranged for Anguilla to be here so we had to bring the game forward to one day, which ideally we didn’t want to do because we understand the First Citizens Cup is going on, but at the end of the day, we have to do our job and we have to do our work.”
However, Lawrence said the information had been passed on to the T&T Pro League.
“So the communication has been there all the way through and what I would say, the story when I saw it this morning it left a bad taste in my mouth because come on, David John-Williams ain’t arranging when we play the friendly or not. It was all something that had to be done for the benefit of the players, that’s the most important thing, and as I said before, once we found out we could not play more than two friendlies inside a window, we had to make an adjustment and unfortunately it clashed with the First Citizens Cup game.”
He added, “We have always worked together with the Pro League because they have always been good to us and we are always going to be good to them. So I think communication sometimes can be misleading, so the Pro League games will go ahead and we want them to go-ahead.
“The tournament (First Citizens Cup) is also beneficial to the boys as well, as they are now starting to build up some sort of rhythm because they have been inactive for so long. So it’s good to see the boys back on the pitch playing competitive football and hopefully at the end of the First Citizens Cup it will lead straight into the start of the Pro League starting so you can keep the boys and them active, because they have been dormant for too long and you cannot play professional football and be dormant for that length of period.”

Why should you be embarassed ?
The United States playing Thailand through the virtue of being drawn in the same WC group, then scoring 13 goals in competition is to be distinguished from deliberately seeking out Thailand, presenting the match-up as bearing greater utility than the mismatch could possibly offer (particularly when playing first line players), predictably drubbing the opponent and then overstating the value of the match-up in aiding the opponents' development and the victor's growth.

Look. Thailand qualified for the WC. The WC is not a friendly tournament. It is the apex of world football. If you are not ready for shell shock, decline going to be embarrassed. TT went WC and played the games of their life. Is either they ready or they aren't. Right now TT need to play as much games as possible. I would have picked a stronger opponent, but say what, I eh DJW. This is "friendly". What you want them guys to do? Don't play. I was surprised to see Woo Ling on the score sheet far less on the team.
Look Trinis might be fools, but you really feel We falling for this high scoring performance. Since the end of WC qualifying, have you seen the crowds at the national team home games ? The fans have already made their feelings felt.

Joseph nets five as T&T dominates Anguilla in 15-0 win.
TTFA Media.
Trinidad and Tobago snapped a 14-match winless streak with a 15-0 demolition of Anguilla in Sunday’s international friendly at the Ato Boldon Stadium. In the process, Dennis Lawrence’s men eclipsed the previous record for the biggest victory by a T&T men’s team in an international outing with the previous best being an 11-0 shut out of Aruba on April 23rd, 1989 in a Caribbean Cup qualifier in St George’s, Grenada.
Richard Fraser netted a beaver trick back then but it was Marcus Joseph who laced up his scoring boots on Sunday evening as he struck five goals at the hosts dominated proceedings from start to finish. The other scorers in T&T’s ’89 win were Paul Elliot Allen (9’, 23,34’, 60’, Timothy Haynes 12’,50’), Garfield Silva (40’) and Fraser (25’, 53’, 75’ and 85’).
For Lawrence’s team, debutant Darius Lewis came off the bench to notch a double in the 75th and 79th but it was Joseph who made the most of the opportunities on the night. His goals came in the 14th, 27th, 31st, 33rd and 47th. Canadian-based Ryan Telfer opened the scoring on ten minutes and got a second in the 21st. Ataulla Guerra got two in the 15th and 42nd, Nathan Lewis in the 20th and 40th, Aaron Lester in the 62nd and Jomal Williams finished it off in the 89th.
Danish-born goalkeeper Nicklas Frenderup made his debut in the second half and was called upon to make fine stop to deny substitute Jonathan Guishard in the 79th minute.
T&T will travel to Ecuador on Tuesday for an international friendly against that country’s senior team on November 14th before facing Honduras three days later in San Pedro Sula in CONCACAF Nations League qualifying action.

Victory at last: T&T demolish Anguilla 15-0.
By Joel Bailey (Newsday).
STRIKER Marcus Joseph hit a handful, literally that is, as T&T stopped a 14-game win-less run with a 15-0 demolition of Anguilla this evening, in a friendly football international, at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva.
Ryan Telfer, Ataulla Guerra and Nathan Lewis contributed two goals apiece, while there were one each from Aaron Lester, newcomer Darius Lewis and Jomal Williams.
Tafari Smith scored an own goal to compound matters for the visitors. The result has to be put into context, as Anguilla are the lowest-ranked team in the FIFA rankings (209th) and T&T’s form has been dismal at best, with their last victory occurring on September 6, 2018, against the United Arab Emirates (2-0) in Girona, Spain.
Such as been the level of disinterest in the T&T team, there were barely 500 supporters at the venue, as the game, brought forward by 25 hours due to “FIFA regulations” clashed with fixtures in the First Citizens Cup and Terminix Super League.
The T&T supporters and even the media were not even aware of the composition of Dennis Lawrence’s squad before kick-off, while there was not even a public address announcer present to inform those on hand. Anyway, the scoreline will be a morale-boosting one for the squad, who will travel to Ecuador for a friendly international, on Thursday, before meeting Honduras in a Concacaf Nations League tie, next Sunday.
Telfer opened the floodgates in the tenth minute, with a right-footed shot to the left of goalkeeper Ryan Laddie after the ball was squared back to him from Nathan Lewis.
Joseph got his name on the scoresheet four minutes later, with a low shot from inside the penalty box, after he was picked out by overlapping right-back Alvin Jones. Laddie was culpable for T&T’s third goal, as he found himself in a tangle with a defender and a T&T attacker, leaving Guerra with the easy task of finishing into an open net in the 15th.
Nathan Lewis waited for an off-side call which never came and he banged home a right-footed shot in the 20th minute, with Telfer netting his second goal a minute later, after a give-and-go between Joseph and Guerra. Joseph scored thrice within the space of six minutes – in the 27th following good work down the right by Nathan Lewis; in the 31st when he bundled home a ball sent from Jones; and in the 33rd, with a header from Telfer’s pinpoint cross.
Nathan Lewis notched T&T’s ninth in the 40th, from a few metres out, and Guerra got his second item two minutes later, into an open net after Laddie made a hash of a pass from debutant Matthew Woo Ling. With such an insurmountable lead, Lawrence made four half-time changes, with Danish-born goalie Nicklas Frenderup (on his international debut), Aaron Lester, Duane Muckette and Jomal Williams replacing the anonymous T&T skipper Marvin Phillip, Leston Paul, Guerra and Telfer.
Two minutes after the resumption, Joseph guided a Nathan Lewis shot into the open net after Laddie left his goal exposed.Lester netted his first T&T goal on the hour mark, when he directed, with his knee, a cross from Jones into the vacant net.
Darius Lewis, a 20-year-old US-born midfielder (son of T&T parents), who plays for KI Klaksvik, in the Faroe Islands, picked up a loose ball in the penalty box and slotted home, in the 74th.Four minutes later, Woo Ling’s left-footed drive deflected off Darius Lewis and nestled into the back of the net. And Williams ended the goal-scoring bombardment in the 89th, drilling a right-footed shot to the roof of the net after a ball from Jones was relayed to him by Muckette.

1. Oh look, here's another candidate for that rich generation of U23s that DJW disbanded in favour of his other medal-winning teams and projects.
2. To Angus Eve's credible point, the pathway into NT selection seems to be less rigorous for some foreign-based players than domestic-based players - even if the opponent is the lowest ranked team in the world.

At the end of the day it was a glorified training match...... Take it for what it was and lets move on.

That being the case, there are dozens of teams within Trinidad and Tobago that the NT could have pummeled 15-0 without reducing international football to a farce. And without having to tamper with the match calendar.
Honestly, I'm not quite sure that XI would be able to face Naparima and dispatch them 15-0. Are you?
Yuh doh need the porousness of an Anguilla to explore the commonplace action of your overlapping backs.

Absolute worst display of football I’ve ever seen, never mind the goal keeping even I am a better goalie than that silly bloke. this is absolutely shameful on the part of the federation and the coaching staff, to call this a stroll in the park would not do it justice. there was nothing to be gained by this exercise which was absolutely pointless worthless and uninspiring. you could have strolled around central and scoop up 12 big belly men from the neighborhood bars who would have given the a better challenge, but what do I know. i digress. sigh.

Anguilla and Puerto Rico are scoreless at 58'. Somebody get Puerto Rico on the phone quick!

meanwhile much shade was thrown on TV6 sports in relation to this game while reporting on Brazil snapping it's own recent winless run

Just watched the highlights for the first time. Had forgotten them out of personal protest. So many of those goals were "not realistic" and even with that we were not fluid. SMH.
