I'm guessing that it could even be worse that the spanking we put on you during the World Cup qualifiers.

 

What spanking?

Ay Smallie, you still hating on us???
Long time girl...

Yeah, I am. What's this? A yankee invasion? 

 

Nah, nothing like that.
Just enjoy the old talk.
That's all.

Omar....me aint bashing de man.  Him good.  I say de man got talent.  He magical.  BUT him still one footed bad bad.  Das why I dont rate him as others would. 

Like Omar said, his one foot was better than many others' 2 feet....

Question to ask yourself is- How did his "one footedness" hamper him? bcuz to me, it didn't really seem to.

From Lounging with Leonson Lewis:

WN: Rohan Pirali asks “Leo I played against you in the days of Santos vs Bionic Bunch. As a player you could only play with your left foot, you virtually never used your right. As a coach for kids today, how important is it for kids to use both feet?”
LEONSON: It’s important, but not totally important. The best coaches would tell you that one good foot is better than two mediocre feet. One foot that is extraordinary is better than two normal feet. But as a coach, you still want to encourage kids to use both feet, at least to be able to make a pass, or trap, but if you have a player with a left foot like Leroy Spann, something out of the ordinary, someone with a foot like a hand, why worry about another player with two mediocre feet? I hope I have answered his question and at the same time hit him a little bit. Leave me with my friggin one foot [laughs].

That Leonson Lewis fella is a genious. Think of all the so-called great 2-footed players who cannot even wash Diego's jock-strap. It just would have been UNFAIR, for him to have both feet. Can you imagine???

Football / Re: Yorke should play in our 2010 Qualifiers...

« on: October 11, 2007, 02:33:27 PM »

Let younger players get and develop experience during the qualifiers, especially against the St. Vincents and the Grenadas, so that you are better prepared for the Panamas, Costa Ricas and the Mexicos when that time comes.

You shouldn't be putting any much expectation, dependence or requirement on Yorke because he is older and more vulnerable/prone to injury.

Develop the younger players, increase your pool of players. Let Wim do his job and develop a team that will carry you through from qualifiers to the WC.

Let yorke enjoy his retirement.

Football / Re: The Pro League is real Shit

« on: February 12, 2007, 01:22:58 PM »

Well partner, I hear all that you saying. But all I know is that there is so much more riding on the success of that PFL league than the league itself. And anybody who think that the Soca Warriors will rise to be a consistent dominant force in CONCACAF without a thriving PFL is sadly mistaken. Not when compared to the Mexican League/Mexico and the MLS/US combination. I don’t know about the Costa Rican league, but if I am to use their international performance as an indication, I’ll have to bet that it is in good standing.

If dominance over Barbados, St. Vincent and Martinique is where its at, then you are already there, even without the PFL. But you’ve always been there. From what I read on here, the expectations I interpret from posts on here, I know the stakes are much higher.

I just don’t understand how it is, out of all those “passionate” fans residing in T&T, PFL don’t get much support.

Suffice it to say, with no strong, well-supported PFL, almost with certainty, no “consistently” strong Soca Warriors. IMHO.

Football / Re: The Pro League is real Shit

« on: February 12, 2007, 11:35:51 AM »

It is so easy to call the T&T Pro League $#!t. And from what I constantly read on here, it seems as if the league has little to no following.

So my question is this, where are all the “so called” die-hard Soca Warrior fans? The ones who live in T&T I mean. Where are the 25,000 who filled the Stadium when T&T faced Bahrain? Do they not realize that success for the Soca Warriors is intimately linked to the success of the Pro League? Does the league not need support and fanfare to get to raise its level, to motivate the players, to give them pride in their accomplishments and achievements? Do you think it invigorates Carlos, Dwight and Stern to hear a Sunderland crowd, or any crowd react to their exploits on the field? Would it not do that same for the players in the Pro League.

Ultimately, success of the Pro League will translate to success for the Soca Warriors. And the sooner the local fans realize that, the sooner you will see T&T rise through CONCACAF. Unless you are all satisfied with riding the crest of the wave when the team coincidentally does well and jumping off when it doesn’t. But that is not what being fans is about. You NEED to start supporting the Pro League because the long-term development of T&T football depends more on the Pro League than it does on 1, 2, 3 or 4 T&T players getting overseas contract.

T&T fans are more concerned about what goes on in La Liga, Serie A and the EPL than they are in their own Pro League. Ask yourself, do Spain, Italy and England need your support for success, or does the Soca Warriors?

Aye, Smallie, ah goal is ah goal.

Ent Crouch wrap up Sancho locks and score one on Trini in de WC (ooops I know dat is ah sore topic).

Point is dat it count in de score line, which in turn determines de outcome of de game. USA 2, Mex 0. I will take dat anyday, you would too if it was De SOCA Warriors.

Football / Re: Goal of the Digicel Cup tournament

« on: January 25, 2007, 07:02:22 AM »

I think Glasgow's header and also his goal vs. Mart.
The one where he spin on a dime in the box, and totally pass out two defenders and the GK...slotting it to the right side of the goal.

The FK was good, probably great by our standards. However, by international standards it was routine.

When last did TT ever score directly from a FK??

We tend to suck in this area. However, there has been some improvement in the last few years.

And don't mention Hardes FK. That was due more to the GK's ineptitude than any great ability.

I am however, very happy if Daniel can continue performing like that.
Maybe one day I can say "Bend it like Daniel."

Remember Jones score a freekick vs Peru b4 the world cup

« on: July 20, 2006, 09:22:07 AM »

what is the issue? ranking? order of merit? everyone should know what it means because they do it at every world cup!!

i remember jamaica placing 21st or 24th at the 1998 world cup!! and the USA coming last..........lol

ah love it!!

I remember in 90, the only Trini or Jamaican presence were the 5 or 6 people in the stands, but the US, despite finishing LAST was in the 32. (Ah know dat is a touchy topic eh - de 90 WC)

I remember too, in 94, neither Trini or Jamaica were in the 32, but the US, albeit as HOSTS, made it to the 2nd rounds.

I remember again, in 02, the US made it to the quarters and yet again, neither Trini or Jamaica were there. I remember asking myself, 'oh dear... what can the matter be... in the WC, will Trini ever be?'

Well you answered that this time around.

Good Job. You did Concacaf proud.

Green Beret ... like you is Captain America man.... when the US gettin bash ... like you is de last line of defence....

I never  felt US in the league wit dem teams and i expected a loss...but not 4-1 ... but as I said I not being too critical bout a friendly.... in the WC we go see.... now there they goin an get a dred cut arse... Maybe Captain America might hide under he shield round that time..
 

Nah man. I won't hide. If the team loses all the games in Germany, yeah I will be disappointed, but I won't hide.

I see football in America as a long, arduous journey. One that I hope, will eventually reward the US football team with respect as a direct result of their performance on the field. I'ver said it before and I will say it again, I am a football fan, like everyone else on this forum. In particular, I am a fan of CONCACAF football. Naturally, I pledge my support to the US national team, but in the interest of CONCACAF, I will support any CONCACAF team when they play any other team outside of CONCACAF. I believe that the success of each individual CONCACAF team, ultimately gains respect for the region as a whole. There will be 4 CONCACAF teams in Germany and I would love to see EVERY one of them succeed and represent the region creditably, and in so doing, justify the 4 spots we got this time around.

US getting 4 goals from Germany is the biggest even in your life? You are a pitiful little fool. In the grand scheme of things, Germany is SUPPOSED to beat the US.

A thrashing. USA just fit but as soon as a side fitter than them they will lose. And Green Beret it really int change anything for June because all the show-off allyuh doing wouldn't stop the licks allyuh going to get in that group. I proud of my country because We reach and we have nothing to lose in Germany ( only gain). USA bussing up their mouth and they will get spanked. PS USA never produce anything close to Dwight, or Latas,....when allyuh do HOLLA BACK....warmonga i never believe you so dumb nah to support the US like that...Germany thrash them fool ...And you have to be Jamaican to be talking so much crap.

OK, Germany gave us a second half schooling. Like I said before, we are no where near the 5th best team in the world, not even top 10. And we still have mountains to climb before we can consistently challenge the likes of Germany, Italy, Brazil and the power houses.

But, we are light years closer to those teams than T&T is.  (I'm not hating).

No excuses, Germany showed why they are 3 time world cup winners.

But in true American fashion, we will regroup, take out our frustration on Jamaica... ... and get ready to the WC. We got a cut-arse yesterday, but that hasn't changed anything for June.

Green Beret ...DON"T BE AN ASS !!!!

First of all you may need a few more Community College classes in comprehension and understanding...

If you read my post again I was actually trying to make an objective post in support of the USA's approach and recent success..

Also I tried to somewhat validate the USA's success and not put them down like some posters like to do because they simply DO NOT LIKE THE US team (which they are entitled to)

To answer your question though..YES I do theorize a lot...I am an Engineer.

Secondly, I agree with them being ranked highly (NOT 5th...top 15 maybe)...

Now, though you are a big supporter of the US,  you have resorted to the same tactics as the ones who just hate the US regardless of how far they have progressed....but again ur entitled to your opinion..

When last I checked, West Point was comfortably beyond Community College status.

I misunderstood you, and you, me.

Football / Re: FIFA Ranking

« on: March 16, 2006, 11:22:51 AM »

Think about this:

When it comes to playing international basketball...the US theoretically should be #1.....but they're NOT.....why....other teams in the world like Argentina and Serbia/Mont play a team sport...they don't have a major talent pool or extremely talented players, yet they win and they are World Champions....Reason they win is they play a team game....team strategy and play a lot of games together...

Now apply that to football....the US has used that in the reverse.....they do NOT have a lot of naturally skilled players but they have very good team strategy and play team ball...thats why they play a very structured game and favor them very highly in the WC...they will not win the cup but they will impress....

So before your respond to what I wrote try to think out your response a bit more objectively instead of vomitting emotions on the forum..

What are you? A scientist? A physicist? A biologist? Because you talk a lot of theory.

But were you responding to me though? If you were, then:

If you go to any of the countries you mentioned and ask who is on their national basketball team, they can name the team. Ask the same in the US and nobody can tell you. They can tell you who represented the US at the last international tournament. Point is, the US does not have a national basketball team. They, naively and arrogantly, pull a bunch of NBA superstars together a few weeks before a tournament and and tell them to go out there ane represent. Hence, these other countries getting their victories.

The approach on the football field is different. There is a US national team, that has a core of sound, consistent players. I think you agreed with that.

But I'll tell you this, I won't bore you any further. I will let those players solidify my point (CONCACAF supremacy) on the field.

I don't think I was emotional when I said that we are not the 5th place team or even a top 10 team, but that we can get there in time. I don't think I was emotional when I acknowledged that it is possible we may not get out of the 1st rounds at the WC. I don't even think it's emotions that lead me to say that we'll beat any CONCACAF team. Sure, we might lose one here or there, but we will rule CONCACAF. No emotions, just fact, arrogance not-withstanding. Yankee-to-de-bone.

Football / Re: FIFA Ranking

« on: March 16, 2006, 10:34:39 AM »

I'll make a bold prediction here and now. The USA will not make it to the quarter final. as a matter of fact I am not sure they will even get out their group, unless its the best 3rd place finish.

And I suppose if you're right, that will say what about the US?

Just a question, considering that France and Argentina didn't make it out of the 1st rounds last time.

Because sometimes, there is a tendency to look only at the score, or the final outcome, and disregard that those do not always tell the whole story.

I'm saying this because the US has made a strong claim for the # 1 position in CONCACAF. So if the US is eliminated in the first rounds and Mex, CR and T&T advance to the second rounds, I am certain, when we all come back across the pond, it will be business as usual when we face these teams. We will continue to make that claim for #1 in the region. And you know it too.

Nuff Respect though!

Do I think the US is the 5th best team in the world? No.
Do I even think we are the 10th best team in the world? No.
I think we are definitely in the top 15. We are definitely the best in CONCACAF.

All the aspects of our game that are criticized here on this board, are probably justified. We do not have "big name" marquee players, we do not do the most creative individual moves on the field, we do not play the most entertaining brand, yada-yada-yada.
But... we play as a team and we get results. Who would have thought, that after we were handily beaten (collected 5) in our first game in 90, that we would have made the progress we've made since then? Our players will continue to improve, our brand will improve and our status WILL improve. We have the resources, we have the population and we definitely have the PRIDE and DESIRE. One day, we will justifiably earn a top 5 ranking.

In the not too distant past, we have beaten Germany, and we have beaten Brazil. I beleive we will give Germany a run for their money on the 22nd. Watch! I beleive we can give England a run, and I beleive we can give France a run. But we will definitely continue to improve. We will put people of Trinidad parentage on the field, we will put people of German parentage, and Brazillian parentage and of course, US parentage. When that happens (not that it hasn't already), and we get the good results, we will still be criticized for using foreign player, although France and Holland have been doing it for the longest. But we are the USA and we'll continue to be criticized. No big deal though. What doesn't kill, can make you stronger. Right?

Nuff Respect.
