Good luck to them.
I sympathize with their pain, after all we had Nov. 19th.
Peace,

The game/s Yorke didn't play in, for the ban he served, can anyone remind me how the team looked.
last ting...it would have been Blasphemy to take off the captain in his own stadium in front of his home crowd, in such a historic game...They needed him on the field to take the penalty that the fwds ent draw.
I agree Just Cool,
but what has changed?
At the risk of being blasted, this been bothering me for some time.
Latapy is in charge and by reading reviews from the media and our fellow warriors fans, our golden boy has done a decent job. or has he?
1. We winless
2. We still not scoring goals
3. We still have a bad defence
4. We still struggling to find a solid lineup
5. Our coach still our best mid
6. We still playing Yorke too much
7. Kenwyne still cyah put a goal in
8. ditto Scottie
9. Ince still barking
10.We not doing proper warmups (tobago united?)
11.Frenism still going on
12.We still last place in the hex
I wish latas de best cuz in all seriousness he is a boss when it comes to T&T football but from a factual point of view, the cons outweigh the pros...for now, we have a daunting task ahead of us.
It real hard to stomach
Eh??
ah guess those three goals in d last two games didnt happen
People critical of the team defending, but regardless of how good a job you do in organization, defending is based on the individual first and then the collective.
Hoepfully this puts to rest the "debate" about who's better between Messi and Ronaldo.
a sad state of affairs our national team program is in regarding this matter....
dwight, latas, stern, ince, lawrence amongst others all getting older...
when did we go wrong? where was the development?
it seems one generation will die, and the next never got a chance; who have been the newer constants in the past 5 years? Carlos, KJ and Birchie are the only names that come to mind,
the current team will fade and the under 20's will rise...only in T&T football
What did we do right?
This is a non issue ... It doesn't matter who is captain because DY is the leader of this team and will act accordingly ,arm band or not. Anybody can take a toss.
Is that the role you see for a captain on a football field ? ..to take a toss ? Do you realise that Yorke, as captain, took a decision to allow Stern to kick the penalty against El salvador ? " it does not matter who wears the armband that Yorke is the leader of the team ? "...
The captain of the team is not necessarily the best player you know ...often he is named because the manager wants to get the other players to play like him.....eg. Maradona named Mascherano as captain ....You had Riquelme, Zanetti, Veron etc ..all of whom were captains before ....yet he said he liked the effort Mascherano gave to the team and he wanted the team to give the same ...
Captain of Chelsea ...Terry ...is he their best player ..not by a long shot .....but again it is the attitude and leadership quality he has ....is puyol the best on barcelona ? What about the captains of teams like Brazil , Italy, France are they the best players on the team ...
What do you see yorke , a non playing captain , as bringing to the team as leader at this time ? when the team is down is there a fighting spirit as of old in Dwight ? When the team is down how does he respond ? ..how has he responded ? ..to get youirself sent off after a game and miss two important games thereafter ??
In countries serious about football that would have been all she wrote as far a acptain was concerned. I still believe Dwight has something to contribute to the team in his role as defensive midfielder but I think the team would be far better served by someone say ...such as Carlos Edwards who is in the cut and thrust of football week in week out.
By all means Yorke can add his experience to whoever is named captain ..but if we are serious we cannot just accept whatever is given to us without question.
Jack fire Maturana too early...
I suppose this just adds fuel to the debate regarding "good-players-turn-national-coach", since Klinsman name was one used for the "pro" side.
Well all we can do now is win the next two and get into the World Cup.
Even if we get in the WC, if we get 7 from Mexico, what will the world give us?
We get into the World Cup=we get another chance. Doh study the licks you might get. How many careers might done if we don't get into the World Cup?
Well all we can do now is win the next two and get into the World Cup.
I wanted to start a new thread for this, but not really, so I will post it here as Flex mentioned it.
Dwight Yorke (our most successful and celebarted player ever), Kenwynne Jones (now), and Jason Scotland have all been successful at their clubs, yet they struggle when they play for us. Is that their fault or is it lack of quality players on our team?
It is always amusing to me that people say that Scotland have/has/had/did get/got/gotten a chance and cannot provide, yet as soon as he leave us and return to club he strikes (which is very reminiscent of DY, and KJ at times). Recently even Stern John who is touted as the best ever, has dried up. Should we keep blaming the forwards, midfielders, defenders, Trinbagonian mentality or the tactics selected by the technical staff?
How then are we to motivate our forwards to produce for us at the international level? Should we discard players until we find "the one"? Or should we find different tactical methods when incorporating all our players? It is not as straightforward as some of us make it out to be, but is part of a more complex web of shortcomings within our footballing ranks. We all understand football to a certain level - some more than others - yet no one seems able to solve this problem. The defense and midfield some may say is our biggest problem, but the problems there can be readily picked out - so to our midfield. Our strength is in our attackers and yet our attackers has proven less than able on numerous occasions. What do we do? What should Jason Scotland do? What should Kenwynne Jones do?
Darrel is hurt.
Latapy and Terry Fenwick can lead T&T.
A) Head Coach - Terry Fenwick
Straightforward, disciplined, organized, professional attitude, fighting spirit in him and have T&T at heart. It is also good to have a foreign coach involved at some capacity to enable us proper team selection.
B) Assistant Coach - Russell Latapy
Experienced player. Great knowledge on and off the field, clam and straightforward as well. Latapy can also assist with developing our next midfield general. Focus on helping our midfield become better.
C) Assistant Coach - Dwight Yorke
His attitude towards T&T is second to none and his experience will definitely be a big plus. He can also focus our helping our strikers become better.
D) Goalkeeper Coach - Lincoln Phillips and Shaka Hislop (for all teams, both men and women)
Our two most successful keepers we ever produced with great knowledge and experienced.
E) Defensive Coach - Stuart Charles Fevrier
A very calm person with good experience at coaching and at playing at the back. He has lived and played in T&T for over a decade and knows the T&T players and league very well.
F) Fitness Trainer - Ato Boldon
Ato have graced the highest stage of athleticism. He knows what it take to be on top form. He can also help our players build speed and mental strength.
G) Technical Director - Lincoln Phillips and Stephen Hart.
Lincoln has worked with some of the best. He has the knowledge and experience to take us to the next level. Stephen Hart also have the experience to help us reach at a higher level. Both men are thinking minds and should make a pretty decent team. Both men is also capable of good analysis of teams and I am sure if given the support and tools to do their jobs they will get it done.
Three great leaders of our time. A modern day Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt. Leading the Americas to peace and prosperity.
so ah guess I supporting Canada this gold cup
he the only trini contingent...
Go Canada!
Probably not.
Defender Serioux and Midfielder Hutchinson are 2 Trinbagonians that immediately come to mind.
