Trin is right!. The qualify of players are not the same as before. We have less pros in Europe and mainly pros in the MLS (who not really making a mark), in the A League, a couple in the Championship and a few others in the average leagues in Europe. Right now, Trinidad does NOT have a top midfielder at the moment. There is NOBODY on that current team, who can produce the "element of suprise", who can step it up, like a Russell Latapy, Dwarika, Yorke, Nakhid etc. The standard has drop dramstically!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One way is to start from the youths. The level of coaching has to be raised from the YOUTH level. Even the school level and the intercol level is POOR! The players are weak, poor technically and they are poorly coached. It's huge overhaul and it will take years to rebuild. I agree with Gally Cummings, even tho most people would not agree. We should rebuild our football structure locally first, concentrate on that for the next 2 yrs, rebuild the club football, the youth football. The under 23 team should be the focus of the senior team games. NO international break should pass and we not play against someone. Forget the result. Just get those guys to get the exposure!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the mean time, BUILD back our local football. At the moment, it's DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
