It bafffles me why this donkey Leston Paul is starting when Hyland is on the field. The man just gallops around the field with no sense of purpose. Joevin deserved to start, he’s in form

DL should resign if he’s honest with himself...he should recognize he isn’t ready yet...what a shame...anybody know when is the next TTFA President election? DJW needs to go...can that fool be impeached some how... this is so depressing. We’re not competitive in any way...such a talented group of players that can’t even string a few passses together, play ball in the opposition half, not to mention get some clean shots at goal....terrible state of our football...depressing.

before it get lost. Thanks Stephen Hart. Even in the game where we get drubbed 4-0 by the US, the first 10-15 mins of that game I see Trinbago knock ball so beautifully and with so much confidence. I can't remember the last time. Maybe was the liquor in my system but I was so sure we would make waves in the WC with a brand that was ours - players really allowed the freedom to express themselves.
Good luck in your next step. I hope you make yourself even better (keep coaching at a higher level) for when we shake off this jumbie administration and hopefully shake of the jumbies in the next administration so we could bring you back again and hopefully you give us a chance again. To make T&T take three steps forward after two steps back. Thanks for all the work you put in for us fans, you brought pride back to us. We wish Dennis well too as a son of the soil, but all true fans will yearn for your return.

Actually it was the first 32 minutes and I was in awe, I thought I was watching some version of Holland.
Had never seen TT play a top team and look so refined - away from home to boot.

According to Levi Garcia they got tired in the second half...steuups.

Best T&T player the past 3 games?

Nathan Lewis gets my vote.  Really impressed by him. Reminds me in s few ways of Aurtis "Otis Seaton" Whitley.

Shahdon Winchester has also played really well the past couple games. Hodge did well today also.

Palos Nathan even look like him a lil bit! I was thinking the same thing. Hodge put in a good shift too, and Winchester had that defense busy!! A. Jones played a good game to, other than scoring that NEWSHOTHEARDACROSSTHEWORLD. I’m happy for the fellas.

We still not out of it,there's a slim chance for 4th.We looked good and had we got the goal by KJ,and had Nathan Lewis not been ruled off side,who knows,as I would say,we matched the mighty USA and that was pleasing,but we didn't get the result we wanted.When your chances come you must take it,they don't come every minute,we look soft in front of goal.Edwards went for goal,when the best option was a cross to Lewis or Molino,that was a shocker,someone is not smiling on us.

Boy you spot on with that analysis. We don't appear to be outdone by these teams, CR, MEX and US...the only real thumping we got in this campaign was from Honduras. Other than that Honduras game, we weren't outclassed at all. Goals win matches and that's the bottom line.

Carlos know he effed up with that shot instead of passing the ball... everyone knew it. What a shame. Carlos did play pretty well last night though. Hyland made some mistakes and that first goal was his fault. I like Nathan, he has a lot of potential, but he gets outmanned...Molino tried his best last night.

George was not ready for pulisic it seemed. He have the wonder boy too much space.

Costa Rica gonna be a real scrap, with the odds against us. This is where our maturity and professionalism gonna come into play. They drew against Panama last night, which stacks up even more against us.

I hope to see the boys regroup and continue to believe that they can get result. They can!

It's frustrating as a fan. We play a pretty decent knock. But we just don't get the ball in the net...this is where quality friendlies come in...we need a miracle in CR. The US was not spectacular except for pulisic

trini_stallion, while your suggestion is noble, you ignoring the reality of the modern day football, and the lives of people who playing the sport. It is an honour and privilege to play for your country, but honour and previlege don't put food on the table, or pay for severe injuries. Let's agree to disagree on this one.

I old enough to know when TT players used toplay for honour and dignity. The fans loved it, but TT football did not go anywhere. In the "bun and sweet drink" days, unless you played for a factory team or a govt ministry team, your international career was limited.

Ask what happened to Nobbie Philips from TECSA who got injured while playing against Nautico. He was left to see for himself. Did not play for the national team after that. Ask Mikey Grayson what happened after playing in WC against Haiti. Got an ankle injury. No compensation. His career finished around 28 yrs of age.

With all the money some players making, yes, they should offer their service for "free". Actually some players do. You read about some African players " ponying up" money for other less well payed members of their national to play African Cup and WC. But the reality is, that is the exception to the rule.

Noble?

Is pure assness.

Who the PAYING public come out to see?

Who the TV rights people paying to see?

When advertisers spend $$$ hoping to capture eyes on TV and elsewhere when the National Team playing....who those eyes come to see?


When those eyes come out in their thousands to see administrators and a logo of the country flag and NOT the players, then get back to me bout playing for pride and honour

Otherwise.....is pure, unadulterated, f**kery that stallion chattin dey

If you don't understand where I coming from you just dotish. How cld I express my view in a different way...one more try...to play for a national team, one should not be motivated by financial compensation by playing those said games. If I was a player, I would be motivated by the opportunities it may bring...in terms of exposure, experience, and show casing my talent to possible scouts. It would be about no chump change...100/200$us per game...nah man

Yuh cld setups til yuh fall asleep. 

I said NATIONAL TEAM PLAYERS, not just Trinidad and Tobago. Imho all national athletes, should not be compensated to represent their country unless they win a tournament. How about that... These players earn their  livelihood playing at their respective club...that is common sense. But I cld see how "that not making any sense," to some people in here.

So there is this saying practice what yuh preach...if I was a national team player, I eh want no pay unless my team qualify for a big tournament, or win a tournament...

The administration should however, provide the absolute best in terms of insurance, accommodations and preparations.

Yuh stuepsinnn still

Noble idea but what happens in the case of career ending injury early in career while representing your country.  Who decides how much of a players potential could have been realized and what they will be compensated.  What if that system was in place and a player like Joevin or even Molino got injured before MLS moves?  Now all of a sudden you have a players earning potential limited while performing in his professional capacity representing the nation.  What do they get? Are they gonna be taken care of for life? Based on the chump change they was making in their respective tiers before ascending to the heights they've achieved?  That whole play for free idea is very much flawed, especially when there are profits being generated from the sport.  So when Brazil or Mexico and all selling out stadiums all over, the FA keep the money and players get squat because is not a major tournament?

To answer your questions:
1- what happens if they get a career ending injury?
Their career is over---period. Any injury like that can occur at club or national duty. Don't matter where, career ending is career ending.

2- player like joevin and Molino get hurt before mls move?
If these players just relied on national team playing time to support their livelihood, they wouldn't be able to afford even buying food, yet alone pay a mortgage or rent...how many times are they required to suit up in colors annually...thus being a professional footballer, at a club level affords them a decent to great quality of life.

3- Brazil, Mexico, England, Germany, Spain, Argentina, all those big countries and big teams?
All their players I am sure are playing professionally in leagues across the world. Their money to support their lifestyle isn't coming from ONLY WHEN THEY DON THEIR NATIONAL COLORS. It just wouldn't be enough to support a decent quality of life.

A point I'd like to make as well...I'm not 100 percent sure, but ent to secure a overseas contract a tentative player must have been capped by the national team? If this is true, then, that in itself  pays to be a NT player.

I go take a beating for what I'm about to say...but I don't think national players should get paid it represent the country. It's a privilege. Win something...as in a tournament, get ah lil raise, house and land...Other than that...it's a privilege and it allows other opportunities to come all yuh way. Just my humble opinion.

Lol, so only de men in suits and shirt jack should benefit while the men on the field, sticking they foot in wild tackle, risking they career for pride alone...?

Mints, I hear and agree about the risks. I specifically said I don't think players on the national team should get paid, unless they win a tournament, it is a privilege to play for your country.

Now what should 100% be afforded to the players are, proper meals, accommodation, training and training gear, transportation and insurance. Regarding the staff...as a soldier pointed out, staff could be anyone, they hv administrative suites and should be compensated fairly aligned with their position. Positions not limited to a coach and his staff, right down to the water boy...

So wait, while it is standard within the industry to be paid when appearing for national duty, our players (and only our players) should forego this for pride?  So whatever you are qualified to do if the government need you to do it for T&T and reach out, you would do it for free correct.  If war break out should our defense force forego monies to since they would be fighting to defend their home?  What f0(kry allyuh does ketch allyuh self talkin dan?!!  That is the dumbest shit anybody ever say on here and I doh care who doh like it but dat is bullshit of the highest order.  That is the men and them livelihood and they should risk it for free?!! big long f**kin steups!

Gonzalez did very well against Mexico, skillful, good reader and fast.
Cyrus plays better as a CD, and he cld handle Jozi and Dempsey attempts at getting rough up. He has great speed too.
Bateau...no explanation needed.
Mekeil plays against these guys, that's his position and he moves the ball fwd well with good link up play on the flanks.
Hyland and George will break up pulisia and Bradley play in the middle, as well as good link up between defense and offense.
Hector I was a lil indecisive about, but he's better and tested than anyone else. I rate him better than Cato too.
Molino, #10, feeding of  Kenwyne, and creating as well.
Joevin... no explanation needed. Carenage boy...great link up from mekeil to him, to Molino.
And finally...the black beast. He will cause it come show time!
