« on: November 27, 2015, 07:48:11 AM »

My network of friends tells me that RTK was 30 minutes late arriving to begin the debate last night.

Of the candidates who have submitted their published platforms.

Has anyone indicated what they are going to do for our Women's programs?


Everyone is being politically correct in talking the talk however are they walking the walk (re Women)

Is that minted in, and imported from, Canada? I've noticed it in the ranks of other players with CAN connections.

I am not 100 % sure of where the Canadian Guyanese team players were born. Whether they were born in Guyana & then immigrated to the Toronto area at a young age however they all have been playing soccer at the highest levels in Ontario for their entire playing careers. I believe a few had scholarships to play in the states at DIV 1 schools and many played at their University schools in Ontario as well most were also involved in the Ontario soccer association Provincial program trying to make team Canada U-17 back in the day.

Jamaica also has at least one high profile  Ontario ,  team Canada player ( Exeter the team Captain) and of course Trinidad has King & Blair from Ontario. Many of these players play on the same club teams in the Toronto area. Guyana is hoping to get funding from their government as well as some high profile businessmen. Jamaica is mostly funded by the Marley foundation so lets hope despite this setback they continue to get stronger for WWC 2019. Once the Presidential election is over with in Trinidad and an new committee is in place then the women can get their funding. The soccer gods finally being kind to Trinidad as as being in group B they have a very good shot at qualifying with the right resources and of course Waldrum back in the picture.

Outside of the Caribbean the Toronto and surrounding area has the highest concentration of men & women footballers who given the chance could contribute to their parents birth countries playing on the National teams which would greatly strengthen and deepen the respective countries player pools.

So nobody pick Guyana?!!

Guyana's team is mainly comprised of players from Toronto Ontario Canada. They have exceeded expectations in making it to Concacaf however this forumite is not surprised they succeeded as all the Guyanese players are playing their local club  team soccer with the top teams in Ontario league. They too like most Caribbean women's teams suffer from lack of funding. They have only one camp in July for a long weekend in Toronto and then it was straight to CFU Group one matches. They arrived in Trinidad only a few days before Round 2. The game reports that I received were that Guyana should have won the game versus Puerto Rico however the PR keeper stood on her head to keep them in the game. Hopefully Guyana can have an extended camp before Concacaf to iron out their game plan. Guyana is definitely relieved as is Trinidad that they are not in the group of death.

To answer your question they have as good a shot as any in Group B. Canada should be in the next round however the ball is round and any given day anything can happen. I like Trinidad's schedule though as we have a good shot at winning Group B. We need to beat Guatemala , tie Canada & then beat Guyana and with some goal differential end up in first in the group. This way 1st place avoid playing the USA in the crossover game.  Am thinking positively here

No promotion of this game on social media from the TTFA other than one line in the last paragraph from the article posted on Monday morning.

The Women Warrior's were at the men's game supporting them in force.

Will the men be out to support the Women tonight ?? Remains to be seen.

Will you ?? They really need your support considering all the adversity they have encountered .

http://ttfootball.org/2015/11/16/senior-women-finish-off-st-lucia-in-convincing-fashion/

T&T now faces Jamaica in the second semi-final on Wednesday from 7:30pm at the Ato Boldon Stadium. The winner will meet the winner of the other encounter between Puerto Rico and Guyana which kicks off at 5pm, in the final on Friday. The losing semi-finalists will square off in a third place playoff with the top three finishers advancing to the CONCACAF Finals next February in the United States. Two two teams will qualify for the Rio Olympics. The teams already through to the eight-team CONCACAF Finals include the US, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica.


The good new's is that a few of our girls at school in the states are back and will participate in tonight's game. The Forbes sisters are back as well as one of the Debesette twins as the other broke her collar bone recently.Having Kimika Forbes back for this all important game is a huge relief for the women. Prolific scorer Miss Shade is still listed as doubtful as is dealing with a medical issue. However a well rested Tasha St. Louis will be back in looking to add to her scoring total. As well Ms. Mollon will want to continue her scoring way's. Not sure where we will see the versatile Lauryn Hutchinson on the pitch tonight as she was at midfield in the last match however the back line will be anchored by the always calm and steady Arin King.

Jamaica is looking to dethrone Trinidad as Trinidad defeated the Reggae Gurlz back in Sept 2014 to win CFU. In the early match we see Guyana playing Puerto Rico. It is not surprising that both teams made their way to the final 4 in CFU as Guyana during group play tied Cuba one all and moved on based on tie breaking. The team consists of mainly players from Toronto, Ontario Canada however will be ready to show CFU they are a force to be reckoned with. Puerto Rico surprised all of CFU as the beat Haiti with a 3-2 win (or was it) in group play. Puerto Rico is also comprised by numerous USA dual citizen players who play football in various NCAA schools.Never the less two tough games tonight.

Be out to tonight to support our Women Warrior's

Randy just want's a contract & he should get one. The team as well as his coaching staff should know that they will be taken care of by the TTFA for the next WWC cycle. The quicker a contract gets done the quicker he gets back & semblance of order will be restored. Time to have these open aired distractions over and done with.

So the winner between the 2 games between us and St Lucia will face JA? Is that so? That's how I interpreted it.

Yes sir the Reggae Gurlz are awaiting the winner of our games.

Round two :::  Guyana and Puerto Rico , JFF vs , Round 2 will begin on Nov 18th & 20th in Trinidad.

In tonight's match we are the visiting team and we on Sunday evening we are the home team. I am going to assume that the structure is two game aggregate scoring seeing the way the matches are set up (away & home).


Good luck tonight ladies

Nothing on the new TTFA website about the Women's games this weekend  Well if it is I can't find it however no disrespect intended to the men however if Jones or Bateau has a hang nail it's front page news so when are the women going to start getting some respect TTFA  It is on the Facebook page of the Women Warrior's with the TTFA logo Front and center. Anyways hope that the Women get the fan support they deserve this weekend. It's time the TTFA starts to give the Women the respect they so rightfully deserve.

Apparently Blatter's not feeling well.
http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/sepp-blatter-fifa-medical-incident-1.3307538

Sepp Blatter undergoing stress-related health checks
79-year-old being evaluated by doctors
Thomson Reuters Posted: Nov 06, 2015 12:08 PM ET
Suspended FIFA President Sepp Blatter is undergoing stress-related health checks but is not in hospital, a spokesman for the suspended FIFA president said on Friday.
 
"He is under medical evaluation, the doctors took him out for a few days, the doctors expect to him be back around Thursday or Friday of next week," Blatter spokesman Klaus Stoehlker told Reuters.
 
"He is under tremendous pressure from so many sides and perhaps this is a little bit difficult for a man who is not the youngest."
 
Blatter, 79, led soccer's governing body for 18 years and was provisionally suspended for 90 days in October amid the worst corruption scandal in FIFA's history.

Well that's a shocker   
From all those years keeping things bottled up Mr. Blatters conscience is finally catching up with him.

The human body always tells the truth at some point
