Didn’t see this posted anywhere.

Former Benedict’s standout signs for Finnish first division side. 

https://fchaka.fi/uutiset/fc-haka-ja-anthony-herbert-sopimukseen/

Translated into English:

FC Haka has signed a 1 + 1 year contract with topper Anthony Herbert. The 24-year-old Herbert is from Trinidad & Tobago but arrived in Valkeakoski from St. John’s Red Storm in the U.S. University Series, where he has spent the past few years.

- Tony is a physically excellent top opener. Came to us through the American contacts for the test and was a positive surprise, the head coach Teemu Tainio explains the background to finding the player.

Herbert himself heard from his agent about the opportunity in Haka and decided to seize the opportunity.

- They talked a lot about Haka's traditions, as well as about the coach. I'm really excited about this opportunity, and I'm not really looking forward to the start of the Veikkausliiga.

- Settling in Finland has gone smoothly and the community has warmly received me. In addition to the exercises, the conditions are also excellent.

In addition to professional coaching, Toppari sees a positive competitive position in the team, where players motivate each other for the better. He is ready for the League Cup starting this weekend and sees that he will bring his own strengths to the team.

- I am a strong and tenacious defender who brings hardness and skill to the line of defense, and I also keep a voice on the field. I can also quickly turn the game from defense to offensive direction, the man analyzes himself.

Herbert arrived at Haka's test in mid-January and showed his skills in a training match against the Seinäjoki Football Club. Tainio stated that after that match, the man appeared in his favor.

The team of white shirts has expanded and strengthened promisingly during the first half of the year. Now, at least for the downstairs, everything is ready and Tainio seems to be very happy with it.

- With this agreement, our Ground Floor looks strong and has a good competitive situation!

The number of FC Haka's contract players will increase with Herbert 26. The nets are still on the water in terms of attack head reinforcement (s):
Mika Hilander, Aatu Hakala, Kalle Kohonen, Seth Saarinen, Eero-Matti Auvinen, Niklas Friberg, Henri Malundama, Topias Listo, Atte Sihvonen, Tino Purme, Donaldo Acka, Oiva Laaksonen, Janne-Pekka Laine, Miro Salminen, Salomo Ojala, Jesse Huhtala, Logan Rogerson, Vigori Gbe, Elias Collin, Konsta Mervelä, Felix Lehtinen, Thomas Saarinen, Oliver Whyte, Luiyi de Lucas, Stavros Zarokostas and Anthony Herbert

Football / Re: Thread for T&T vs USA Game (22-June-2019)
« on: June 22, 2019, 08:13:08 PM »
Terrible. Absolutely terrible. I was at the game and the team showed a sense of organization and formation however just before the second goal you could see the team starting to get gassed and lacked shape. Lawrence needed a sub and FAST to slow down the US. He didn’t do it and after that, well it speaks for itself. It’s the minor details in games and the lack of organization hurt Trinidad and fast! US looked like any regular team which Trinidad could’ve beaten however...well the score line ballooned and fast.

General Discussion / Re: Transferring money from TT to North America
« on: July 16, 2017, 07:57:37 AM »
As many have mentioned given the Forex situation there will definitely be a limit imposed and there are also waiting lists at most major FI's. You will need to be put on a list by the FI and then wait for your 'turn' in order to send the funds.
Someone also mentioned that there might not be a limit as you don't need physical cash. The local FI will still need to perform a series or (bulk) FX transaction in order to have the USD to send on your behalf and most foreign FI's don't have a need for TTD in their inventory so this will take some time and limits will be in place. I've heard of people waiting a year + on the waiting list.

Football / Re: BOAT RIDE ON INDEPENDENCE DAY
« on: September 12, 2016, 11:00:34 AM »
Two things...
1. Is this really that 'big' of an issue? 3 players went out 2/3 days before a game...these are big men who should be able to handle their business on and off the pitch. A boat ride when you reach home, a few days before the game is no 'big' scene to me. That's easy discussions behind close doors as a team if necessary. The end!  Players going out after their Guatemala game...again...no big scene. They handled their business. Got the result needed. Go out and have a time. Be safe and reach back before we leaving for the airport. When we land in Jax, I running that alcohol outta dem. They go sleep and realize they ain't doing that again. Then meeting time I sent the ground work to let them know that the fun is done. Allyuh went out, drink etc. Cool. Lewwe get back to work.

2. To me...this is what happens when the federation lacks professionalism. You expect the men to act like 'True professionals' when they don't know if / when they will get wages, they travelling in coach class from Europe to play big qualifying matches, lack of professional training (they couldn't train too much at the HC) etc etc etc. Yes these fellas are professionals in Europe, Central America, North America etc. however these WC qualifying trips home must feel like a vacay compared to their everyday responsibilities with their clubs. Professionalism Breds professionalism. TTFA must do a better job then expectations can be higher for the players.

« on: July 08, 2013, 07:31:03 PM »
One of the best games I've seen T&T play in a long time...Holding midfielder was finding space and moving the ball...Players were making intelligent runs...balls were being switched from side to side...all in all an excellent performance...Defence needs help from the midfield and the wing backs were being stretched at times but again, an excellent performance compared to what we're use to.

And I don't see why he would leave a 'big' squad in England to coach the mess that is the National team!

Football / Re: Bad choice by balotelli.
« on: June 10, 2012, 07:15:44 PM »
I firmly believe that balotelli made a the wrong decision by choosing to represent italy. from here on in any thing that goes wrong with italy balotelli would get the blame.

that kinda scapegoat business does always follow the lone blackman, he always have to be ten times better than the rest in order to be well accepted and seen as an asset.

IMO balo shoulda forget international football, or chose to rep ghana, bc these mdnt racist white boys will never give him a moments rest. just look how fat boy bob lee, lalas and wonalda have ah serious hard on for the bredder.

1) He isn't the only black player on the team:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelo_Ogbonna

2) I disagree...He is a born Italian so I don't see what ties he has to Ghana besides his parents being born there. I'm sure that he sees himself as an Italian.
He will be under the radar as will any other player however with the good comes the bad so as a pro you have to take it as it comes. His personality is one of the things that brings about the extra press but he is an excellent player whether you like him or not.

This is what was posted on the T&T soca warriors page on Facebook:

The following is a statement made today by Jack Warner to the media following the news of his suspension by FIFA from all international and national football-related activities.
Re: Today's FIFA decision
 
I attended the FIFA enquiry today at 12 noon pursuant to a request made of me by FIFA to answer allegation made by Chuck Blazer, General Secretary of CONCACAF.
 
I have learned this evening via the media that I have been provisionally suspended by the FIFA Ethics Committee.  This has come both as a shock and surprise to me.  At the conclusion of the enquiry I specifically requested that I be notified of any decision as I had learned via the media before attending the hearing that a decision would be handed down at 5:00PM.  Despite leaving my contact details, up to this point, I still have not received any notification from the FIFA.
 
At the hearing I indicated that I submitted two written statements outlining my position.  I expressed my disappointment with the way in which the enquiry was conducted as I was given less than twenty four hours to submit a statement for consideration by the committee and, moreover, one of the five members of the Committee is from Uruguay and did not have the value of a translated version of my or Mr bin Hammam's submission.  This lack of translation services brings into question the issue of due process.
 
In addition, FIFA did not have the courtesy to provide me with copies of the allegations before the hearing and it was only during the hearing were the allegations read to me.
 
At the hearing, among other things, I was asked about the special meeting with the CFU to hear Mr Bin Hammam and whether such a meeting was normal I indicated that President Blatter earlier this year had held a similar meeting in South Africa with thirty seven countries and no objections had been made of that to date.  In fact this has been the practice of FIFA in holding meetings with member countries before elections.
 
I denied the allegations that I made statements at the CFU meeting about gifts being given by Mr Bin Hammam.  I also indicated that at the Miami CONCACAF Congress on May 3rd Mr. Blatter made a gift of one million USD to CONCACAF to spend as it deems fit. This annoyed President Michel Platini who was present and he approached Secretary General Jerome Valcke complaining that Mr Blatter had no permission from the Finance Committee to make this gift to which Jerome replied that he will find the money for Mr Blatter.
 
I also indicated at the CFU meeting held in Trinidad on May 10 which was requested by Mr. Bin Hammam, FIFA through Mr. Blatter organised gifts of laptops and projectors to all members of the Caribbean and no objections have been made today of this to date.
 
In my statement I attached letters from thirteen Federations whose members attended the CFU Meeting where the allegations of gifts were made.
 
These statements from the 13 members denied the allegations that have been made against me and any participation of these individuals in the act complained of. While with regard to the allegation of payment only one statement was submitted by Collins & Collins.
 
On May 18 when I realised that the political battle between Blatter and Bin Hammam was getting out of hand I wrote Secretary General Valcke telling him, among other things, that the outcome of the elections may cause some fracture in the Arab world  which we can ill afford now and that I will like to ask Bin Hammam to withdraw from the race. To which Jerome replied to me and I quote :
 
"For MBH, I never understood why he was running. If really he thought he had a chance or just being an extreme way to express how much he does not like anymore JSB. Or he thought you can buy FIFA as they bought the WC. I have a bet since day one, he will withdraw but on June 1st after his 10 min speech. By doing so he can say he push Blatter to make new commitments bla bla bla and get out under applause. Before means he is a looser. So...He will get some votes. Less than 60 today after CAF support. It will be the "coup de grace" if you would officially send a message as the CONCACAF President by saying CONCACAF supports unanimously. So I am not giving you an advice but just my feeling about what I think is the situation."
 
 
Despite the plea from SG Valcke, I refused to give any advice about how CONCACAF will be voting.
 
At no time during this matter was I ever contacted by Mr. Blazer nor did he contact the Executive or the Emergency Committee of the CONCACAF and it is informative for one to look at Mr Blazer's credibility by referring to the report of the NY District Court Judge in the matter between Master Card and Visa in the FIFA matter of 7th December 2006 .
 
(para 213) Mr. Blazer's testimony was generally without credibility based on his attitude and demeanor on his evasive answers on cross-examination.
 
(para 214) Thus, for that reason and based on his evasive answers and his attitude and demeanor, Mr. Blazer's testimony as the March 14, 2006 Marketing & TV AG Board meeting is rejected as fabricated.
 
 
The complaints  made in this matter are politically motivated against Mr Bin Hammam and me and are designed, among other things, to cause serious prejudice and damage to both Mr Bin Hammam and myself at one of the most critical times for the FIFA.
 
It is also shocking that at the close of an inquiry at around 5:47pm when the decision was already delivered new evidence in the form of a fax from the Puerto Rico FF appears making allegations which were treated as part of the evidence in this matter. This further demonstrates in the way the enquiry was conducted and the prejudice against me.
 
The decision to suspend me is an abuse of the process and achieves no real purpose as stated in the decision and again demonstrates the bias of this enquiry.
 
I intend to say a lot more on this matter shortly.
 
In the meantime, I will vigorously defend my reputation as well as the reputation of the rest of the Caribbean members.
 
Respectfully submitted
 
Sgd Jack Warner

ENGLAND is shit!

Really... you see the assistant raise his flag for an infraction and the ref award a free kick and which magic button tell yuh it was a foul?

TC was right, it was a foul not offside...if you watch, the assistant raised his flag and pointed it in favor of the US...If it was offside he would of pointed it to the field.
