No one should run down and beg anyone...all I said was TTFA should reach out to foreign born. If a player show interest then it's up to TTFA to reach out to them. That's how international football works, It's called getting a call from the country...

This is a slippery slope. Not every foreign born player = good player and deserve to be on the team. Some of them struggle for their clubs and T&T become a second option to think about because they can't make the national team of their home country.

If we praise , encourage or beg foreign born players before they are even selected on the team then this not only put pressure on the coach to select them but they feel they have a guaranteed place on the team because the belief is 'we need them'.

The media should never decide to get involved in the chasing of foreign born players. If a player want to play for T&T he will make himself available for selection

Its just good for TTFA to reach out to foreign born players. You have to understand that Trinidad is a small country. We only have a population of 1.3 million people and the Football system in our country is poor. We have a strong football culture though. But it's great to look at foreign-trinis because they can bring something to the plate too.

And allyuh feel dat because de German mystic man recruited some foreign born...allyuh feel dat was de reason for his success....

Well leh we jes fire half de team and bring foreign born..we bound to qualify fuh WC.

You think they would be beating USA with a bunch of Jamaican's from their local league?

The thing with Jamaica's team is most of those guys, whether foreign born or not, have a decent bit of experience in English league Football, particularly the championship.

If Trini can get some European players then we can do well. We can't just think about the present, we have to think about the future too. Foreign players will help us to succeed and strengthen the Football scene in the country. Look how far Jamaica is reaching at the moment, their Football is going up.

Trini is sticking with international players of descent. Just look at Jamaica's line up:

Almost half them men was once English.

With how well we did in the Gold Cup, I feel like foreign born players will be more contempt in joining the Warriors.

What Trini was missing from the Panama game-
1) Fitness
2) Possession

Seriously. I don't know if Hart told the boys at half time that they need to keep possession, but that's what they were suppose to do to beat that Panama side. Panama straight up dominated our half of the field seriously. We just sat back and wasted our energy defending when we supposed to conserve it for an attack. Trinidad is so dangerous with set pieces and crosses, yet we weren't able to take advantage of those plays because we barely had the ball. Jones is the finish man for our side but he's getting old. The boys better take advantage of his presence while he's here.

For us to do well in the WC qualification, everyone has to work on fitness during their club season, especially the wingers and fullbacks.

We have a great team though. I can see us doing well in the future with the likes of Joevin Jones, Molino, Cato, Bateau, Hyland, etc.

If he makes the move before August I will be so happy because then I'll be able to make a Trinidadian defense in FIFA lol.

Right now we only have one centre back as Mitchell just left the MLS, he is no longer in FIFA. So we only have Sheldon now.
