Prior to the revelation of this squad, I made a list of 10 players who I viewed as indispensable to success. 7 of the 10 are in this squad. Another 6 players I expected to be selected although I don't regard them as indispensable. That's 13 players out of 26. 50% return of the included. Not exactly compelling.Now I'm curious as to who the 7 and 3 players are
I'm no TF fan, ever since he hit that youth player in his head back in the day, he lost my respect not to mention that salary he demanded for this job.We have to stop blaming the coaches of this team and look closely at the collective lack of quality within the squad. We need better administration, infrastructure and programming to develop better quality players. We haven’t produced good players and as a result each coach we put in keeps getting blamed when the team disappoints. Stop looking at the coaches and start looking at the quality of players available.
How much more quality was required? We were the more experienced team.
I hear you and we do need to build but we should focus on the youths now, I think it's time to part ways with some of older players. I actually agree with you in the set-up of academies but we can take a blueprint of countries like Iceland and invest in youth coaches being certified with on-going training. Maybe have them pay and refund them after 6 months of steady coaching so we know it's going to use. I say the focus should be younger players. Time we do it the right way.what reee you talking about? they need to build full stop. start by putting a solid league together and getting the ministry or some benevolent foreigner to build a few academies because heaven knows that theTTFA ain’t gonna do it.we are eliminated !!!!!!!!!!The rebuilding begins now, there needs to be change.

No futsal suitors have come calling?That's what I'm saying, he was one of our top performers.
His dad lost his birth paper and doesn't seem interested in getting it, hence he cannot get a passport, Nick wants to play for us.So can someone else help him in getting his birth paper or does it have to be his dad? I'm not sure how that works.
I don't play video games anymore but this sounds like something I can get into.I just thought I'd resurrect this topic to see if anyone plays FM on the site!I've overheard ppl speaking about football manager but I honestly have no clue what it is. Is it a video game?
Yea, you can manage a football team from a whole host of countries - all the major ones and a large number of others. You buy/sell the players, pick the tactics set the training, and manage the players. You don't play like FIFA, so it really is a managers game.
You can have the game cover what you don't want to too - they can do transfers etc. It's pretty addicting but not that easy to get into honestly

Champions League final today: Barcelona vs Chelsea at 3:00pm TT.According to Chelsea's coach (who I have much respect for) they lost the game before it started. The game was basically over in 20 mins, Barca game out firing and that Chelsea team is no joke. After the game they spoke about how much Barca invested into that team in terms of coaching in the last 2 years and look at the dividends this season, those ladies have been playing entertaining football.
Maybe available here.

We might need VAR.Tough one, those guys really gave their all. I haven't been following the futsal developments but from the looks of things we just have to get use to it and find the right set of players for this style of game. Also we have to bring a certain "nasty" to our game. In both games against DR and Gua those guys grabbed, pulled, dived, scraped, took cheap shots, pretty much did anything to give them an edge. From my experience that's how most Latin teams play and we need to add that element to our game since most teams get away with it.
Link for viewing the match versus Dominican Republic. Hopefully it works. 10pm TT time.
worked great, good quality. Unfortunately we lost 6-2. I tuned in 2nd half when we were down 3-0 and chasing the game to get some goals, in doing so it left us exposed in the back. Looks like we have something to build on with this team despite the results.
The Soca Warriors were handed BOL kits before their opening Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifying fixture against Guyana on 25 March and refused to wear them due to concerns about the quality. Instead, the team continued to play with Joma kit, although the TTFA’s contract with that company expired over two years ago.The quality does look suspect, looks like merchandise for a recreational/fete match team.
No bluff!
Perez was the mouthpiece, Tampa Bay Bucs and Boston Red Sox were the main drivers.
What the NFL and MLB both have is self governance. The owners select their commish.
The NFL/MLB owners get all the money, and don't have to share anything with a UEFA or FIFA.
The Euro Super Leag, thanks to the Bucs and Red Sox would have been run the same way as
the NFL and MLB.
So, why all of a sudden did it fall apart?
Man City, mid-East owners, Chelsea, Putin patnah. Man U, Arsenal and Livpool, US owners who
have no idea how deep football runs in the veins of UK fans, NO IDEA!!! Daft as the day is long.
Spurs, they came along for the ride, and the green being talked about.
This was dead, IMHO, from the time it was announced.
UEFA and FIFA would have banned all the players from all competitions. The Spanish, Italian, and
definitely the English FA, would have put the sword to each team in the 3 leagues.
Can this happen again? 100% YES!
How do you minimize the possibility of a recurrence 5, 10 years down the road?
Not sure, but measures have to be put in place.
Is a PR talking about dropping out of the league good enough? Or should each of the Prem Leag
teams face some type of punishment?
No, it is not good enough, and yes, each one needs to be penalized, punished, fined, points deducted,
you name it, it needs to happen!
This is the biggest bluff in football. The negative PR and the possibility of players not being allowed to play in the WC could derail this venture. I for one don't know how FIFA could ban a player for his/her owner's actions. Dock points, forfeit games, sure but preventing players from playing in the WC is ludicrous. The audacity of FIFA to play the morality card is a joke and that goes for UEFA too. My guess is that the Champions League will have a larger number of teams and more revenue will be poured into it. That's what the leagues have been wanting anyway...a more lucrative Champions League. I am a Man United fan and I would be very disappointed if this ESL happens and they join it. I will still wear the colours but with a heavy heart.Not too sure about bluff, from all accounts it seems like Joel Glazer and Fiorentina Perez and willing to push through with that despite the negative PR. UEFA made their sanctions clear now let's see what the English FA and British government does, they've expressed their disregard about the move towards the six clubs now let's see if they'll sanction them. It will be interesting to see the players response, if they'll find ways to terminate their contracts amidst UEFA's threats and play for other clubs or if they'll follow the money.
Jesse Lingard is rejuvenated and is putting in Messi-esque contributions. Top goal and build ups to goals vs Wolves.
I relly cyah believe you mention Lingard and Messi in de same sentence.
True, I should've compared him to Craig Burnley.
Ah even more pissed. One of the things that irked me about this match is that we failed to test the keeper repeatedly ... I elaborated on why privately. Well, guess what! He just called quits on his playing career.
Great send off.
Cayman Islands 0 - Canada 11
Looks like Canada sent a message.
Read an article in the Guardian today stating that one of our players tested positive for Covid yesterday and the game could be postponed. I haven't seen anything on here so I guess the game's still on.Update on that.
Did see that on YouTube?danile phillps got a call up ...Would you happen to know why he hasn't been even on Watford bench since Jan'9th ? Was he injured ?
Another good listen. Enjoyed that.Yes that was a fantastic interview. It was good to hear some his insights during his tenure as the NT coach, never heard him open up like that before. I enjoyed the part about the game in Argentina and Messi in particular, just watched him score 2 incredible goals today. I will say it again, ppl may not have liked some of our results in the Hex but under Hart was best the NT looked since Leo.
