well hopefully he could score a goal, or at least hit a post against Jam Down.I will drink to that!man never seize he opportunity in national colors in my opinion tho.Jomal spottin food over dey in El boi! Traditionally I haven't been a huge fan, but I will join the chorus for the callup now.
Based on performances, de man should have been called up consistently over the last 3 years.
I agree that he has not distinguished himself at national level, but he has not been called up since Lawrence got sacked, and until Levi started mashing up this season, Jomal has been the only one really scoring at club level. Meanwhile there are players who are on the national team, not distinguishing themselves, and at the same time not playing professionally. Men not even attached to ah club. Just doh make sense to me.

You should have played the local keeper, that Ailon dude is shit, he got beaten on his near post then over his head. Ottley is way better than him.Young Warriors face El Salvador for quarter-final spot
By Jelani Beckles (T&T Newsday).
THE Trinidad and Tobago Under-17 boys football team will try to upset El Salvador in the round of 16 of the Concacaf Under-17 Championships, at the Estadio Pensativo, in Guatemala on Sunday at 9 pm TT time.
T&T qualified for the knock-out stage after finishing third in Group B with one point after getting one draw and two losses. T&T sealed their place in the knock-out phase after playing to a 1-1 draw against Barbados in the final round of the group phase. An 82nd-minute equaliser from Lindell Sween was enough to see T&T qualify for the next round.
Before the match against El Salvador, T&T lost 3-2 Canada and fell 3-1 to the US.
The T&T defence will have a challenge keeping the El Salvador attackers at bay as the Central Americans scored eight goals in group play.
El Salvador finished second in Group D after ending the preliminary stage with a crushing 4-0 win over Suriname. In earlier matches, El Salvador lost 4-1 to Honduras and defeated Haiti 3-1.
Coach Shawn Cooper said: “We want to play in transition and use the speed of our wingers in the transition—we want to stretch them,” he said. “The Central American teams don’t like you in their face and they don’t like you to run at them. They play a lot with their bodies when they don’t have the ball and try to foul you early, so you can’t use your foot speed.
“We are expecting that and we are trying to prepare our boys for that.”
WATCH - Game Live Here
That is wild. A kid representing his country at an elite competition refuses to eat anything other than bread or butter? What a waste of money and resources spent on him. He has no future in the game.
Kids in some other Concacaf countries have been in professional environments with nutritionists for a few years by the time they are 17.
i with yuh. obvious deficiencies including just holing on to the ball [half of why they put the english youth in the back], but good plusses as well - finishing your chances, speed and big bodies. with ore time they could have been better. lewwe still hope.like we get one in we tail already. anybody know if that link, redirect, registration thing going to get me anywhere?Not playing bad at all. Niles looks nervous and we need to tighten up at the back but we've grown into the game. These boys can play
from the highlights it look more along the lines of -- that keeper could keep! [of course i didn't see the half, so i'll defer to your judgement till 2nd half].like we get one in we tail already. anybody know if that link, redirect, registration thing going to get me anywhere?Not playing bad at all. Niles looks nervous and we need to tighten up at the back but we've grown into the game. These boys can play
Haven’t seen him in the CPL but I’ve seen him play many times …..not impress.He’s definitely not better than what we have right now.
Trinidad & Tobago SquadThese are the 9 that you referring to that DEFINITELY better than Luke Singh? Or it have others?
Defenders:
Alvin Jones, Isaiah Garcia, Jesse Williams, Ross Russell Jr., Leland Archer, Weslie John, Justin Garcia, Darnell Hospedales, Jameel Neptune;
No constitutional change needed for footballI hope Eve really not as dense as this article make him out to be, lumping together all "foreign born" - whether born to citizen parents or citizen grandparents.
By Walter Alibey (T&T Guardian)
The idea of making amendments or changes to the T&T Constitution on its immigration laws, in the interest of strengthening the country’s chances of competing in world football, was quickly shot down by former Immigration Officer Charmaine Gandhi-Andrews on Tuesday.
Gandhi-Andrews responded to concerns by national football coach Angus Eve at a recent training session, that the country’s immigration laws are archaic and have been a stumbling block in their attempts to recruit players who live in other countries but have T&T parentage.
English-born Ryan Inniss, a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for EFL League One club Charlton Athletic, has been on the radar of national coaches Terry Fenwick and Eve as one of many players who potentially can represent the Soca Warriors. Both have been prevented from securing his services because the citizenship laws only allow for one generation to have dual nationality.
On Tuesday she said, “Our citizenship laws only allow for one generation to have dual nationality. The only country that I am familiar with for the grandparents to pass down nationality is the UK, but our constitution only allows for citizenship to be passed down one generation. So for example, a citizen of T&T has a child abroad, that child will be a dual citizen and he can’t pass citizenship down to his child.”
Gandhi-Andrews assured that Eve can explore the “Citizens Act” route where he can find a solution to his concerns, but she scoffed at the idea of constitutional change, saying: “I don’t think that warrants us changing the constitution for a handful of people really, and that’s my personal opinion because it is really just a handful of people. Plus I am firm in the view that we have really talented people here who can be tapped into, who were born right here in T&T. And while they may not have had the experience of being trained in a foreign country or not, I do believe we have the talent here.”
“Most countries have shied away from citizenship going down generations but we do have provisions under the citizenship act. In Section 5 of the citizenship act, you will see who can be registered as a citizen of T&T, in terms of a minor child, where the child has to take the oath of allegiance before they become an adult between 18-19. The only way an adult can be a citizen of T&T is if they were born to a citizen of T&T,” Gandhi-Andrews explained.
However, Eve, who admitted he did not want to engage in a war of words with anyone, highlighted authentic statistics which showed that more than half of the Moroccan team was born in another country; 38 per cent of players on Tunisia’s team were born in France; and Uruguay, Iran, Belgium, Costa Rica, Denmark, England, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands have four percent of foreign-based players.
The statistics were also followed by a note by Eve that said: “This is what those with power to change the Constitution don’t understand.”
Eve and the Soca Warriors are preparing for two more matches to secure the win in Group C of the CONCACAF Nations League which will see them being elevated to Group ‘A’ and ensure qualification to the CONCACAF Gold Cup next year.
The Soca Warriors will first take on the Bahamas on March 24 away before returning home to the Dwight Yorke Stadium in Bacolet, Tobago to face Nicaragua in their final match on March 27.
I think Corneal had it right there^^ which echoes the statements of a harsher critique on the suggestion here: Infantino’s call for Pelé stadiums everywhere is a monument to folly by Jonathan WilsonQuoteCorneal said, “What happens tomorrow if, god forbid, Messi dies, or Ronaldo? Maradona for sure must be a contender. It would be nice if the countries decide on their own to do it but FIFA must not do it. FIFA should leave the countries of the world to demonstrate their feelings about the situation “
Alvin Corneal's comment does not stand up to rigorous scrutiny. I am being charitable rather than harsher.
I suppose the journalist didn't think it worthy of merit of soliciting an alternative view.
definition of mamaguySurprised Kennya Cordner isn't a nominee. Was she mashing up the Turkish League this year?
I think they are only considering national duty.
kounty I would push myself to reach 2026 with TT repping,It all depends on the results of how well the Chemo Therapy works in knocking out the Tumor,that will be known in Feb or March 2023.In the meantime I try to be as normal as I could be.Apart from my problem,I wonder if you ever heard a Calypso in which the first line went something like this."A smartman name Jonathan make he wife Lilian,take out an Insurance Policy, was to fool the Insurance company,she make im go and lie dong in bed and get a quak doctor to say he dead. In de wake they drink Rum and coffee and started to shout out this melody,Doctor say yuh dead jonathan please close yuh eyes jonathan".Would you be able to say who sang that tune,If yuh too young can you ask someone and tell me.Thank you.

Both Fatima and St Benedict’s will travel to Jamaica in January for the Caribbean High School Championships to face Jamaica College and Clarendon College, the top two schools in the country. The tournament will begin on January 13 and conclude on January 15 as the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) and the Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA) reignite the partnership and rivalry between TT and Jamaica.
If yuh can't bury a penalty it will cost you. It shoulda never come down to penalties. Tite fault it reach pens, he didn't adjust anything. Isolated wing play all day which croatia handled well.Brazil really best on the counter-attack -- b/c 1v1 or even 2v4 they likely to score and Croatia keep the 10 in the box. I think Argentina will struggle similarly and fall to the same fate.
