Football / Otto Pfister Appointed Coach Of Trinidad & Tobago
« on: March 24, 2011, 01:37:27 PM »
Veteran German Otto Pfister has been appointed the new coach of Trinidad and Tobago.

De Telegraaf reports the 73-year-old has been tasked with leading the Soca Warriors to the World Cup in 2014.

The TTFF (Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation) had been looking at a shortlist of candidates which included Johan Neeskens and former Portugal boss Carlos Queiroz, but, it's Pfister who has landed the job after contract details were finalised with the TTFF.

He will offer a hoard of experience having coached at two World Cups with Togo in 2006, and for Saudi Arabia in France in 1998.

Football / Is Dutch style Trinidad's adopted style?
« on: February 03, 2011, 09:24:59 AM »
Trinidad's most success has come from using the Dutch style of play(Total Football)....it seems to me that our federation has chosen this is what we want to emulate for the future, considering we are hiring Dutch coaches to teach our coaches also. Did Leo make such an impression that we have now decided that this is the future of Trinidad football. I must say Dutch coaches seem to make an impression in getting to World Cups and also featuring in many of the Top teams in Europe style of play but are Trinis able to handle the rigorous discipline that dutch football demands. Is this our best option considering the other styles of play English(long ball), Spainish(ticky tock), Brazilian & Portugese(Samba),Italian(Defensive), African(Speed & Power), South American(Skill and Flare), American(Machine Mentality), German(Technical & Power), other Euro teams(Highly Technical and Tactical). Are Trinis made for Total football or would one of these other mentalities be suited to us. Note the fact that almost all of these styles discipline is probably the factor that creates world beaters.

Football / where are all the SSFL stats
« on: October 18, 2010, 09:03:26 AM »
My editor asked me to write an article about the SSFL. I found a great article by By Garth Wattley, Sunday Express, January 9, 2000, Pages 50 & 51. His stats seem a little skewed as they focus on the north and south and have nothing on the East and Central here take a look

http://www.nalis.gov.tt/Sport/sport_SecondarySchoolsFootballLeague.htm#statistics

I really would like to find a source which has all the league positions(for each zone) ...the big 5 competition and the intercol from as way back as 1990-2010...id even take 2000-2010.....does anyone have any clue where i can get these without looking through a back log of express archives

Football / Sunderland end interest in Nugent

All the Stern John fans, including myself can take a breath.  :angel:

Sunderland have withdrawn their offer for Preston striker David Nugent after waiting in vain for an answer from the player.

The Black Cats agreed an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £6million, for the 22-year-old several weeks ago and were given permission to talk to him.


However, Nugent went away on holiday after the European Under-21 Championships in Holland without making a decision, and Sunderland manager Roy Keane has lost patience and is now looking elsewhere.


Chief executive Peter Walker said: 'I can confirm that we have withdrawn our offer for the player.


'Naturally, work continues behind the scenes to strengthen our squad ahead of the new season and talks are ongoing with a number of targets.'
