Football / Fifa considers Jack’s yellow card request...they may be wiped off

« on: October 25, 2005, 12:00:08 AM »

BY NIGEL SIMON

JACK WARNER, Fifa vice-president and special advisor to the T&T Football Federation, expects to get official confirmation today from the world governing body for the sport on the status of the T&T players with yellow cards, before the play-off with Bahrain for one of five remaining berths to the 2006 World Cup Finals in Germany.

The yellow-card accumulation of the T&T players became the subject of discussion after the Warriors beat Mexico 2-1 to clinch the play-off spot in the Concacaf final round World Cup qualifiers, and will meet Bahrain, the Asian play-off qualifier on November 12 and 16.

It was felt by the T&T management that the cards picked up by the players would be wiped off for the Bahrain matches, while in some quarters it was stated that the clean slate for the cautioned players will only come into effect if the team qualifies for Germany.

Contacted yesterday in Zurich, Switzerland Warner said:

“FIFA has received my request to have the cautions wiped clean and they will be making an official release tomorrow (today).’

Warner noted that his request was not only made to benefit T&T and Bahrain, but it will also come into effect for the teams that are still involved in the European play-offs in Spain, Slovakia, Norway, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Turkey.

Uruguay and Australia will also be involve in a South America and Oceanian Zone play-off.

As it stands, T&T players Brent Sancho, Dwight Yorke, Densil Theobald, Avery John, Marvin Andrews, Aurtis Whitley, Brent Rahim, Anton Pierre, Carlos Edwards, Cyd Gray, Kenwyne Jones and Christopher Birchall were booked during the two years of qualification matches, dating back to the Caribbean Zone preliminary matches.

These players are in danger of missing the away match to Bahrain on November 16, should they pick up a caution in the November 12 home-leg at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo if Warner is not successful with his proposal to the disciplinary committee of Fifa, a caution for any one of the above players will result in a suspension for the next match.

Bahrain is also in a spot of bother should Fifa decide against dismissing the request

The Bahraini players who are one card away from automatic suspension are Mohammed Hubal, Saleh Farhan, Hassan Baba, Husain Ahmed, Sayed Adnan, Abdullah Marzooq, Ahmed Taleb, Rased Abdul Rahman and Naser Duaij.

Players who have served one match suspensions already because of two yellow cards, or a red card expulsion, are Salmeen Mohammed, Sayed Jalal, Hassan Baba, Talal Mohammed and Husain Mohammed Mohammed. Salmeen Mohammed (three yellows) and Talal Mohammed have also picked up an additional caution.

Football / Rules for the play-offs

« on: October 13, 2005, 02:27:24 PM »

Only 2 games left before we know who goes to the world cup between T&T and Bahrain.


Play-offs and away goals
In addition to the European play-offs, the team finishing fifth in Asia will play off against the team coming fourth in the North, Central American and Caribbean zone, and the winner of the Oceania preliminary competition will play off against the fifth-placed team from South America for a place in Germany.

For these matches, the knock-out (cup) system will apply (as per Art. 7.9 of the Regulations). This means that for the home and away matches, the team having scored most goals in both games will qualify.

If both teams score the same number of goals in both matches, the goals scored away will be counted as double. If the same number of goals is scored away or both matches end without any goals being scored, two 15-minute periods of extra time shall be played after the second match. If the score is level after extra time, penalty kicks shall be taken to determine the winner.

Football / My grandmother could play for the U.S., says La Volpe

« on: September 04, 2005, 09:16:32 AM »

(THIS IS SO TRUE, READ UNTIL THE END AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND)

My grandmother could play for the U.S., says La Volpe
 
MEXICO CITY, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Mexico's coach Ricardo La Volpe described the United States as a little team which his grandmother could play for following his side's 2-0 defeat on Saturday, local media said.

"It's a little team," La Volpe was widely quoted as saying following the World Cup qualifier in Columbus, Ohio.

"Here, everyone's interested in baseball and American football and many people didn't even know that a soccer match was being played today.

"So it's easy for them, because they aren't playing under any pressure. My mother, my grandmother or my great grandmother could play in a team like that."

The U.S., who have 18 points from seven games in the final stage of the CONCACAF qualifying competition, booked their place at next year's World Cup with the win.

Mexico, unbeaten in their previous 14 qualifying matches and two points behind the U.S., still need one point from their final three games to qualify.

"They scored a goal and then they sat back," said Argentine La Volpe.

The match had been preceeded by a slanging match, sparked by an interview which U.S. striker Landon Donovan gave to Spanish language media in his country.

Donovan said the Mexicans were jealous of the U.S., always out to humiliate them and he wanted to make them feel miserable.

After Saturday's match, Donovan was in no more conciliatory mood.

"They suck," he said. "I'm so happy. After we got that first goal they were never in the game. Hopefully that will shut them up for the next three or four years."

Football / TnT vs Honduras pictures and report

« on: July 06, 2005, 11:47:39 PM »

Honduras 1, Trinidad and Tobago 1, tie
 
July 7, 2005
MIAMI (AP) -- Christopher Birchall and Maynor Figueroa exchanged first half goals as Trinidad and Tobago and Honduras tied 1-1 in a first round CONCACAF Gold Cup game Wednesday night.

Both teams had opportunities to break the deadlock late in the second half but a couple of misfired shots kept the match a draw.

Honduras' Wilmer Velasquez missed an open goal when his shot deep in the goal area sailed above the crossbar in the 72nd minute. Trinidad and Tobago's Colin Samuel hit the crossbar with his shot from 25 yards nine minutes later.

Samuel's shot proved costly for Honduras, losing starting goalkeeper Victor Coello on the play. Coello dove to stop the shot but fell awkwardly and remained on the ground, favoring his left shoulder.

Reserve Junior Morales replaced Coello, who was diagnosed with a left shoulder separation.

Birchall opened the scoring with a goal at the 27th minute to put Trinidad and Tobago ahead 1-0. Birchall successfully converted on a shot from 25 yards, finding the upper-right corner.

But Honduras countered with Figueroa's game-tying goal in the 43rd minute. Figueroa blasted a free kick from the half circle past a wall of defenders and goalkeeper Kelvin Jack.

In Wednesday night's first game at the Orange Bowl, Panama surprised Group A favorite Colombia with a 1-0 victory.

Panama leads Group A with three points.

The second set of first round games will be played Saturday.

Football / Colombian Coach really nice ras

« on: June 11, 2005, 06:19:55 PM »

The Colombian team is really well prepared in different schemes in different set plays from a game i saw agaist Ecuador. The best one i saw was involved with one of the ball boys.  After one of the colombian players set the ball to take a corner kick he took 4 steps backwards, the referee blew this whistle to tell him he can kick it now, then  a  ball boy went to the ball to replace it with another ball.  The colombian player stood his grounds and was "play arguing" with the ball boy to tell him leave the ball alone and the sudenly he ran up and kicked the corner kick catching  the Ecuadorian defense offguard  but they goal keeper grabbed the ball in the air. 

They had othertrick set plays but thats the best one out of all

I hope to see tricks like these out of the Soca Warriors in free kicks and corner kicks, but hopefully first we have to get some one whose accurated on  kicks from distances.

Football / TV6 Sports and News clips

« on: June 08, 2005, 03:38:54 PM »

As we all know that TV6 is cutting down on Sports and News clips  because they say 30,000 people watch them each day and they now want to make it a pay-per-view thing.  My answer to them is that Yahoo.com news get millions of people every hour watching their clips and they are still free.  What Yahoo.com do the pay for there hard work is simple puting a sponsoring commericial to play before the news clips, and that wat TV6 should do, Im sending them an e-mail encouraging them to take up that idea and I am asking for someone others who read this to send an e-mail to them also about this idea.  Imaging paying for regular broadcast TV, the should follow there TV format of getting sponsoring commericials too online.
