Football / Re: Could Sir Alex be watching Carlos Edwards?
« on: July 02, 2006, 04:11:28 PM »
Carlos Edwards 27
Trinidad and Tobago
Luton Town
The Luton player was a revelation. As everyone's favourite party poopers, Trinidad & Tobago almost succeeded in creating a major stir in these finals. Carlos Edwards showed that he can improve as a late developer.
Now apparently settled in the right-back position, his experience in this competition will have added massive confidence to his game. Against Paraguay his second-half sorties showed intelligence, both in positioning himself to intercept and speed down the touchline as he saw space ahead and in giving the correct delivery. When the ball needed to be played to a colleague's feet on the edge of the box he passed it with care and when he got more advanced he crossed it with accuracy. It was unfortunate that his team-mates could not capitalise on his efforts.
Slim of build with no stamina problems, he appears to have matured into a full-back of some quality. One would need to watch a little closer to be more aware of his defensive qualities but the initial hybrid that emerged at Wrexham and briefly attracted Premiership scouts seems to have grown into a mature talent. In those North Wales days Sir Alex Ferguson paid several trips to Wrexham and it wasn't just to see his son Darren. He was attracted to Edwards' speed but at that stage the raw youngster might not have had the nous required for a move to Manchester United. Yet he has demonstrated in Germany that he may yet flourish on a bigger stage.

T&T were a bit unlucky. THey were as good as Sweden and better than Ingland - but for the hand of Crouch who can say what the result would be . The way I see it there was not much between the teams in the group. And Beenie probably the best coach in the competition

although you might not see so much of birchall thats because he is scraping and breaking down the opposition in midfield -- he did a great job. If it wasnt for Crouch the Cheat we would have a result in the bag

England let off lightly and the result flattering.
Trini deserve a draw at least, probably a win.
Anyway all not over. Maybe we get to trash them later in the competition.

Football / Re: Underdogs sometimes win......
« on: June 06, 2006, 04:52:54 PM »Maybe some of your famous LUCK will rub off on the Soca Warriors.
"The luck of the Irish" means good luck. People use it when a person of Irish descent inexplicably beats the odds. (Beating the odds isn't inexplicable, it just looks that way, but it surprises observers.) My guess about its origin: the idea that the Irish people have suffered so many misfortunes that it's a miracle whenever something comes out right for them, and it can only be explained by being blessed with an inherited form of good luck.
Having both Irish and Trini roots I wish the Socas the rub of the green and best of luck.... THought you might like this as well -- it was the first world cup for Ireland in Italy 1990. First game agaainst England ... again !!!

« on: June 03, 2006, 09:01:51 PM »
Beenie is no fol.. this was an important game for the team regardless of result. THis was alll about preparation, getting battle hardened and ready for the fight. Beenie could have picked an easy team, but he picked the no 2 team in the world. that shows his ambition, and level of preparation. The team on steep learning curve, but they have learnt a huge amount, they playing as a team and they will suprise more than a few people now.
Soca warriors will never give in or lose heart, they play to win to the last second. They are playing as a team and well organised.
