Concacaf WCQ women
Group A : USA, Mexico, Jamaica, Haiti (Group of death)
Group B :Canada, Costa Rica, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago
The most favored and preferred grouping. Let's see if we conspire to screw it up.
Anyone see a squad list? The other nations have released their squads. By now CONCACAF would have had the rosters. Why is it a treasure hunt to locate T&T's representatives?
Good point. Also where is the scouting report from Canada and England. We are the only team out of Jamaica and Guyana who hasn't tapped into the Canadian and English pool. Trust meh on this one. Them girls in Canada and England are receiving a blind eye. Purposely being avoided.
Well no matter which group we are in, there is no easy road but at the end of the day in sports anything could happen- mere minnows could choke a whale. I think in the past we have had King out of Canada represent out national team and a Deleon from the US.
Currently Canada national teams both men and women are riding on the success of many WI descendants and if they chose to represent Canada, its a choice. The programing and coaching have been outstanding.
From 2004, I have advocating for TnT to look at the systems, coaching and programing that Canada is building, hire some of their former players who are now coaching and resurrect our derelict, antiquated approach. Our approach of a short term fix is not sustainable for long term results.
It pains me yet it is with due respect that I applaud JA progress in athletics and their national sporting programs: Net ball, football and Track and Field.
I ask again given the economics of a country like Haiti, how is it that they continue to find ways to be successful with their football program?
This is not a time to finger point or to scapegoat or to look at TTFA for answers this is an all encompassing issue that needs to be examine at all levels to find sustainable viable and competitive programing.
In my humble opinion, when you have a player of KJ who have played at a high level and who is imparting his knowledge unto players, it bodes well for results. But again he is one part of the clog. Resources and a talented pool of players are the other side of the equation. When you look at the Canadian women's game,
the past couple of tournaments and preparation they have been undergoing- the level of play is not even comparable. However if there is ONE lesson from 2006 is that it is possible to take down giants in the game. TnT have done it before- we have taken out the like of USA from world Cup; we have battled with the likes of Mexico.
I for one was in the Stadium when we had that Women's game against Ecuador, One win away and we fouled that. I am looking at travelling to Mexico for these playoffs because I believe that we have earned a chance to create an upset
"Great moments are born from great opportunity, and that's what you have here ladies. That's what you've earned here . One game; if we played them ten times, they might win nine. But not this game, not in Mexico."Go out , and run with them; stay with them, and shut them down because you can. You , have to see yourselves as the greatest women's football team TnT has produced.
You prepared yourselves for this moment to be players—every one of you, and you were meant to be there . This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great football team the other countries have . Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!"
Take this post it in your room read it every day; believe in it and lets turn thoughts into actions and beliefs into a reality. Ah taking meh pension money to travel to Mexico to cheer you on.
