Football / Re: Hart names T&T’s final 23-man Gold Cup squad

So Devon Jorsling the top goalscorer in the Pro League not good enough to make the roster. Hasn't he been one of the more prolific goalscorer in the Pro League for a number of years though?

How about the Jamaican captain insulting Trinidad and Tobago in his post match interview on the issue of us not allowing Jamaicans into Trinidad. They won the game, but they obviously had more than just the match in mind, almost a bit of politics involved. I thought he was very disrespectful to say that in the interview, that loss makes it a little tougher to accept after that comment. A bit ignorant, with the disrespect to Molino at the end in the awards also.

Watching Molino play right now..just scored a nice goal. So far the best player on the field. Only 13 mins gone in the first half.

I saw Dexter Pacheco posted on the TTFA Facebook page asking for an update on Clyde Leon's heart problems - I didn't know he had any - what's happening with him is he ok?

He was in the US doing some test, since then he hasn't played.

Asylumseeker, that's some good data there. For me being educated in my coaching under US Soccer, has shown me why the game is developing at a scary speed here in the US. The vision and goals of the US Soccer and the seriousness that is shown to develop the level of coaching here is tremendously high. Its almost as if the US Soccer has a bad mind and are highly determined to produce very talented players. In doing so they are not just giving any Tom, Dick and Harry their Licenses. That person must show the capability of being able to affect the game here so that it can benefit soccer for the sake of the national team. For example, only 33% of the class passed the C License when I did it last summer. There were 40 coaches who did it. I don't know how the Local coaches in Trinidad and Tobago go about getting their Licenses. Also, are coaches motivated to continue improving their craft in order to help change the game in Trinidad and Tobago at the youth level?

Tiresais I understand what you are saying. I guess for me i am able to work in an environment where I can conduct my coaching in a very professional manner. I am able to work with no interference or problems per say. The question I ask myself all the time is, if i am to come back home and contribute to the development of the game, is the standard in terms of organization going to be high or disorganized? I will definitely love to give back. For myself who are a former national player, and other former national players ,high school players who came to the U.S to play football and have gone into the coaching, I am sure that at some point will love to come back and give some help. I guess the politics of the game in Trinidad could prevent that though.

We need to change that...

You right but do you know that the former TTFF and hopefully not the new TTFA has literally for argument sake discarded most of the guys who have came to America for  College and otherwise. I for sure will love to comeback and give back. However, why would i leave the people who pay for all my Licenses and give me an opportunity to further my career with no malice.

Where's Leslie Fitzpatrick now? Last I heard he was in Puerto Rico? Or NE stars?

He's the Technical Director of Kenton Soccer Club in upstate New York.

That's good to hear - but why do a seemingly large-proportion of our ex-footballers set up camps in the US rather than in Trinidad?

simple......because there is support and good financial stability and backing. To a certain degree there are much more appreciation shown here.

Lewis will do well once he settles in, for argument sake its a pity that our country don't have players represented in the draft.

Its a good look, here is a coaches convention also. Lots of coaches from all over America are there. They have coaching clinics and showcases, good for networking and just gaining lots of insight.

« on: November 19, 2013, 10:15:48 PM »

I completed and passed my USSF National C License this summer, and Shaquille Moore was the main player discussed. We had to do a technical study on the US vs Guatemala in the u17  world cup qualifiers which was held in Panama. Trust me the way he is being touted by the US, I cant see him playing for another country, he was the captain of the US u17 team and he was named as their best player on that team during the tournament.

I had a chance to work with Deshorn Brown when he played at University of Mobile, before leavng to go to University of Central Florida. He is a very good player, very quick, and his size may be deceiving. I spoke to him last week he is very excited to play, he could be a handful. He has done very good for Colorado Rapids as a rookie. the guys in the MLS  will be familiar with him as he would have played against them this season.
