Thank you for the kind posts.  I will leave you with this.
As far as the warning to critics, I will say this.  This is not my first rodeo.  I did not post as some emotional mother but as a former college player and coach who has a deep love for the game.  I would expect comments like this to be posted for players like Beckham and Messi for three reasons. 1) They are men  2) They are professionals 3) They are paid a large sum of money in return and its their job.
If we don't allow young players to make mistakes and crucify them when they do they will never learn.  We learn through our mistakes.  As far as the goal haunting him forever.  I assure you it will not.  Johan will process the mistake, learn from it and move on.  For ghosts will drag you to an early grave.  Johan has played for the US National Team.  He CHOSE to play for the T&T team.  It was not a decision he took lightly.  He knew he would be making a choice.  He wore the jersey with pride and left his heart on the field.  He loves his teammates and the coaching staff.  It has been a great experience for Johan.  As the Dynamo coaches said today, unlucky goal - looks like it took a bad bounce on the turf but a great performance.  He is young and will only continue to improve.  He works very hard and loves the game!  They are a great group of young men and we look forward to the next opportunity.  Never stop supporting the next generation of young players - for with positive coaching and fans - these boys will get there.  It's only a matter of time.  See you in 2 years...... 

Standout performance by johan  welch ....

From the mouth of the esteem one comes the cries of 'woe is me' I am the most picked upon ; no gratitude; I am the victim in all this.

It baffles me as to how one with all these swirling allegations could still maintain public office in such a high portfolio when other ministers have been discharged for far less?

It makes one wonder as to if $$$ was not passed in financing the  political campaign which led to this present government reveling in victory therefore rending some as untouchables.

In many ways it is a tragic tale  full of sound and fury which need not have to come to this. A tragic figure with flaws exposed has cast a black cloud in what was supposed to be our finest  defining moment in our football history. Who is suffering throughout the unraveling of all these allegations?

Is it any wonder that some of our most talented and those who could chose to represent TnT are at arms length? how has these events affected the psyche and morale of our national teams? To ask players to make personal sacrifices  and to risk their personal careers and livelihood and then for some to reap the  financial benefits is a bitter pill to swallow.

To play on the emotional and financial blood of fans is a travesty. So many willing fans gave up so much to support their country to support players only  now to find out that on their backs a lion was growing with pride.

In all of this a figure could have been glorified and held in high regard  but now allegations are swirling that may confirm once more  the frailty of   man.  Sad sad indeed for our nation.

A.B trini !!! well you could  not have said it any better .....

ab.trini you've  touched on some good points ,  after watching the game lastnight i would be lying if i said i did not feel disappointment for these youngmen  they undoubtedly fought, tried and competed inspite of all the shortcomings they faced leading up to the competition , anyone who overlooked these factors are not being fair to these youths ..... lets not demoralise these youths they need all the  encouragement and support now more than ever    ...

my impression of shabazz has not  and will not change, let him stick to caledonia .... but as joint head coach of the natinal men team ....absolutely not i make no apologies....  i say again mr hudson charles has been doing fine before his (shabazz )addition as joint coach .....  there are other individuals locally who are more than capable to assist mr hudson charles ... e.g . gally cummings . who to this day many believe was unceremoniously fired by the heads that be at the ttff at the time following the loss to usa..on the road to italy ....  i say again shabazz is not the man to assist hudson charles .... let that big belly man get fit fuss just a tease  sorry shabazz you know how it is
