2010 World Cup - South Africa / Re: Star Players
« on: June 16, 2010, 01:49:08 PM »
Best performances for me so far- Messi, Yaya Toure, Gervinho, Robinho, Khune, Enyeama, Maicon, Forlan (1st half against France), G. Dos Santos, Lahm & Ricardo Carvalho...


To me Robhino showed flashes of brilliance but was never an impact player like the way Messi performed thus far...and this is coming from a Brazilian fan.

Superb ball dey. 2-0.



Dis Dear Leader does give some interesting suggestions. Look at de training methods.

Maybe that's why the #9 was crying, perhaps they did that drill for warm-ups.

On one hand yuh want Ronaldinho, on the other yuh hoping that the anti-football wins... Yuh eh see allyuh confused. 


No confusion at all. I wanna see this sh*t brand punished. Like i've said in numerous posts before, there's nothing that distinguishes this Brazil team from any other solid team. Daz not what I expect or want from Brazil.

The real tragedy is that they are actually capable of playing champagne football. I like Ronaldinho because no matter what, he eh adjusting his game and he bringin d "ginga".

Observations:
-Robinho showed some flashes and played with a lot of heart, but he is still just a fart in my opinion.
-Kaka needs to go back to Madrid and rehab.
-I dunno where this side would be without Lucio and Maicon.

I agree wid you on dis one dread.

This is level maddness. I woulda be flogged everyday jus like primary school.

Why dem fellas didn't cross that ball over for the final play???? I hate short corners, hardly anything comes out of that. Final play, at least give yuhself a chance for a goal, esp when Drogba in the box to deliver to. Dem men take it short, de ref call the game and I need to buy a new phone ;D

I hope the brother recover to play because this year a lot of players have been getting hurt before the tournament and it's sad. Men like Beckham, Rio, Ballack, Essien, Mikel, Drogba, Altidore, Robben, to name a few. Why a Brazilian midfielder can't sprane an ankle so Ronnie can get a call up :devil:

   Yuh PREACH dey, Brudda!!  Brazil need they own Tonya Harding emile heskey on de squad! I have never seen so many marquee players get tournament-killing injuries like this before a World Cup. This is madness!!   
it too late now

Nah man teams can make changes up to 24 hrs before their first match for serious injuries so we have some hope.

For those players out there with talent to go to the Pro level at an early age instead of college....at least if you have aspirations of becoming a professional player and representing T&T see the following paragraph.

"An elite American player of that age is still likely to be playing in college, which the rest of the soccer-playing world finds bizarre. He plays a short competitive season of three or four months. If he possesses anything approaching international-level talent, he probably has no peer on his team and rarely one on an opposing squad. He may not realize it at the time, but the game, in essence, is too easy for him."

Keep in mind this is not for every player but the ones who has international level talent.

Yea everytime a new ball is introduced, there's always a handful of players who complain. With that being said, sometimes these companies get carried away with all this technology for these new balls in attempt for more goals to be scored. I say we just go back to the real leather balls from the 60's, the one Pele and them used to play with....when yuh butt it, is headache fuh days.

Football / Re: Onyewu to play one season at AC Milan for free
« on: May 19, 2010, 10:52:03 AM »
I really hope this work out for him, is not my career. It seems to me that this was a "brave move", he didn't weigh his options as best as he could've. I personally think he should've waited until later on to see how things work for him. If another team if willing to pay him let's say 5 million euros that the end of his 3rd year at Milan, he could afford to pay back Milan for his first year and that would be just as honorable, plus he'll be better off. Maybe he has a really good agent and is presently making sound investments.

On another note men like Greg Oden and Blake Griffin should pay back their teams for missing their first year as well and being #1 draft picks. They might be better equiped to do so with all the earning potential they have.

De man must owe some kinda community service that we don't know about ;D

But under all seriousness that is a brave move, suppose he performs over the next to years at Milan and they were in favor of renewing his contract anyways. My boy just gone and jump de gun, not like he's the first player to get injured playing for his country.

Big deal! last week mexico played equador in the new red bulls stadium in east rotherford/ medowlands. there was ah huge fight after the game and ah spanish run his car into ah crowd ah ppl killing one and injuring 15. it was news for ah couple hrs, and after that, no one cares.

it will take ah lot for the world tuh see trinbagonians as animals. doh fret, we eh nowhere close tuh claiming that title....... yet!

as ah matter of fact, ppl here in north america see us ah party animals and good time charlies. jamaicans on the other hand is pretty close tuh making/ being on that bad behavior list.

first we need tuh get by mexicans, peurto ricans, black yankee , columbians, irish, nigerians, Dominicans , haitians, cubans , italians , pakistanis , ethnic albanians , salvadorians and russians.

doh worry, we still have the party animal image on lock, with no sign of losing the title anytime soon. :devil:

Football / Re: Trent chooses Joe Public over US colleges
« on: May 15, 2010, 02:19:47 AM »
Best of luck to the youth and I wish him well in his decision and future endeavours.

Ehy it ent alyuh son or chile...

There are much more factors at work and is not a simple decision.

Do you know about the offer, financial situation of the family, his mental capacity for books, if any smallie involved etc.

He made the decision based on what was right for him

Play yuh ball and do what yuh hadda do.

College or not TT players dont ever get signed till late...so is no big scene.

This is my point... and this is why college makes the most sense to me. 

As for the rest of yuh post... most of the comments here are about the argument in general, nobody criticizing de yute or second-guessing he family personally.  His sitution just happen to spark the latest round of discussion so i really not understanding de "is not allyuh chile" or "he do what's best fuh heself" line are talk some ah allyuh coming with.

----------------------

Soccerman... as I said, everybody situation different and what good fuh one man wouldn't necessarily be good for the next.  Nobody, certainly not me... crticizing de yute for his choice, my contribution is more on a higher level, without commenting on the specifics of his case.  Aside from that, I think we in general agreement on the rest :beermug:

...To the contrary, if you're a young player in the national ranks and value an education and have the opportunity to earn a scholarship, then take it and if you're lucky enough to continue playing in the MLS afterwards, then that's a bonus.

As I was just telling ah man... what are the odds of a Pro-League player signing a professional contract overseas?  And let's be realistic, we talking Europe here, MLS barely counts.  How do those odds compare with a player graduating college and then signing a European contract (on any level)?  Without knowing the figures, my uneducated guess is that they'd be similar.  That said, wouldn't it make sense to go to college if the odds of making it as a pro are about the same?  At least that way you still have you degree to fall back on... and realistically, unless you're making top-flight (EPL, La Liga, Serie A) money, your education likely will carry you a lot further than your professional contract will over the course of your lifetime.

Yes I cannot argue against the fact that having a college degree can guarantee some job/financial security over the course of a lifetime but in this case it's up to the individual. Suppose he doesn't want to go to school anymore, what if he's saving his money just incase he doesn't make it he can gain an education, who knows. I also agree with you that the chances of any footballer playing overseas are slim to none but Trent seems committed to representing T&T and maybe playing top flight football so I wish him all the best. Now NOT every player can afford to take this gamble, if he has some potential to make it as a pro and he's in the right enviornment, then he should follow his dream especially is he's getting good advice.

According to Arimaman only time will tell.

I recently returned home from a football scholarship and it is blaring to see the contrast in professionalism between D 1 "COLLEGE" ball and the "TT PRO LEAGUE." I doh mean to bash any of the pro teams here eh but dey dont want nothing with a potent NCAA D 1 programme when it comes to professionalism and organization. I went to school with real players that decided to stay home and play pro and trust mih all ah them regretting it right now. The only player that got a break was Kenwynne Jones and he was not the best player by any means. He was just fortunate enough to get the opportunity and he made good of it. So partner my advice to you is go to COLLEGE... You were being recruited but a top 25 programme so development as a player and a person on the whole is present, is just for you to grasp it. The myth that the US College league being a black whole for TT players is garbage.. Ask Stern John, Brent Sancho, Evans Wise, Avery John, Julius James, Daryl Roberts to name a few.
Dont know if there is still time for you to resend your initial decision but if there is GO TO COLLEGE with the mindset to develop as a player and pursue an education and I am certain you would not regret it in the long run..
All the best with what ever path you choose mih bredda!!
Pro league teams have recorded wins against MLS teams, A-League teams and a Mexican league team. You might be right on the level of organisation in the College system but don't cry down the league. We better than you think.

Mih bredda I not crying down the PRO LEAGUE at all.. I know that we have the world of talent in the PRO LEAGUE but how is that talent being nurtured? Why do the most promising players in the league fade away as UNSONG HEROES? What measures does the league have in place to insure that our best players have the opportunity to secure an overseas contract? Answer me that nah bredren!!

Jumbo I hear you brethren, if you speaking about facilities, nutrition, organization, etc. then a Div.1 program has the better resources when compared to our Pro League. Still though if college ball is not for everybody, if Trent wants to secure a spot on the national team as a youngster and take his craft further, then I think he made the right decision. When you play ball out here, no matter how good of a player you are, you tend to get lost in terms of being called up for nation team selection. Plus these days when one graduates at the age of 22, that might be a little too late to start to earn the caps necessary to play ball overseas (outside the MLS). I think if you're a young player in the national ranks and want to establish a career in football in a top flight league, then try choose options that could guide you for that. To the contrary, if you're a young player in the national ranks and value an education and have the opportunity to earn a scholarship, then take it and if you're lucky enough to continue playing in the MLS afterwards, then that's a bonus.

All the best Trent if you think that's best for you I fully support your decision. This is the time to develop your talent if you want to persue a national team selection and serious professional career. Most US colleges do not develop you as a player as you would expect, for the big name schools it's all about recruiting and if your ability is good enough to take you through 4 years where you're above other players (not really being challenged) then you'll standout and some team may give you a shot at MLS and hopefully you'll have a degree. However if you want to develop your talent to play for our senior team and Joe Public is the right enviornment at this point in time to guide you on that path, then do so!
