In all fairness.. Sometimes men does talk in a ceratin way to look like de big. How much game he go see T&T play in Scotland. I livin in de US and does catch mih tail to see a game. Only when ah go home to visit or we playing the US. luckily I was able to see some on de spanish station dis rounds and was in Miami for 1 in de gc.

samo, this is the most toots I probably ever read posted on this site.  If Nakhid could be in Lebanon and still organise to watch tapes of the shell cup, who is latapy?
you ent see trinidad play cuz you didn't really want to see trinidad play.  If I could be tellin muh brother, cousin, friend livin on the east coast, somebody to tape the match for me and send it....Even squinge up and listen to a radio broadcast...Latapy doh have the internet? is how much it worth to you...and if yuh doh really care it could come and go and you ent even know the result...but if yuh really care you will climb high mountain and cross big seas.

I was now talkin to muh parder the otherday about that...how the defenders we have is men, who couldn't mkae it as midfielders at a certain point in they life, but they good, so they get drop to defence.... like Rojas, when he was with Malik and it had real men competing for the medfield and forward, he had to settle for defence, but then he went to fatima, and he was probably the highest goalscorer there.  same sort of scene with Sancho.  It hardly have men who say I is a defender from day one, and stay and perfect the technique.

I see a man mention teachers need more pay, but I hearin teachers makin over $5k (depending on your qualifications) and me ent find that too shabby…I was in tong last week and tings still relatively cheap.

What town were you in? Couldn't be POS?

yes POS.  I buy two short pants for $50 right in the lil tents off of charlotte st, between prince and DUke.  Now compare that - thaz $3.97 US for a pair of pants...ask all the fellaz in the US if they could find that.  Doubles is $2...thaz Us 32 cents .
Now if you talking about Nike pants nad ting expensive, well then it clear you on a different beat...]
but seriously,  it must have some indicator of cost of living to average salary, and truth be told trinidad probably have one of the best of them ratios in the world.

Somebody think that that is how yuh does move into the 1st world.
Anthropologist show that while the pyramids was building in egypt, they went through famines, but that didn't stop them…they mighta be goin thru the same arguments we going thru now.
I dunno, maybe it have some heads in trinidad who want to make we out to be bigger than we really are…who feel that everything all right the way it is and we have the extra money.

now is the time to buy the big things we go need int he future, and allyuh might be right when yuh sayin we ent need no more sporting complex (we meaning the entire caribbean people which we representing...not just we trinidadians) ...but doh get caught up in talkin bout fixin up all the small firelds in tnt.  It remind me when they was washin jesus feet with expensive perfumes and the hypocrites say, why not sell the perfumes and give it to the poor...Oh gosh look how ah gone from politics to religion now.

Knd, I have to congratulate you on a really well written piece.  By the time I done reading what Jack have to say, I was in total agreement and was ready to fight down Manning and them again; but you made your point brilliantly…about vision…I would also like to add too that is not only about we yuh know - trini like to boast that we heading the way for the caribbean, well with that come responsibility - to make we region competitive with the rest of the world, we have to take a lead.
I love how yuh compare now to the oil boom days cuz that is very true…everybody in trinidad driving new car, and them hoardes of fellas who used to be limin on the block have jobs now.  I lie?  US $60 a barrel for oil, if a man tell you that 3 years ago you laugh him down.
I see Jack point eh, but I agree with you more KND, if we ent build them things now and this oil boom done again and we remain in the dark ages, with all kinda old facilities, is Jack grandson and dem go be bawlin' "wha happen"? to the money.
Not to say Manning is no hero too eh, I only honestly hope, that we invest in the l;atest equipment for the hospitals too, and everything..and we use this blessing wisely.

Seein dat yuh comparin Nakhid & Latapy and yuh disagreein with automatic pick fuh Latapy....even if is men on de forum playin defence, please point out to me who is/was T&T Zidane & Baggio durin de times dem 2 fellas was actively playin fuh T&T?

good logic, but it was to highlight the point I quote that is not alwyas the case where you pick a creative midfielder over a defensive one...but your logic still very sound.

Me eh know which football you watch breddrin (assumin u is a breddrin...if not apologies fuh de assumption), but are you somehow tryin to correlate Nakhid & defence?

I ent tink nobody saying that Nakhid was a Brian Williams...but put nearly anybody defensive prowess side by side with latapy's and ...yuh see where I comin from.  Is like Dwarika, he go dribble and lose the ball and den walk with he hand on he hip...yuh know.
wheras Nakhid was a lil more on the end of trying to win the ball from the opposition than latapy. agree?

Football / Re: Leo BeenHakker Interview LIVE NOW on Power 105fm

« on: July 27, 2005, 03:44:15 PM »

This is a very interesting discussion. If I was a coach I would choose Latapy over Nakhid any day because it is easier to replace a defensive midfielder than a creative midfielder.
For example Makele or Zidane.......Emerson or Ronaldinho. A French coach and Brazilian coach will easily select Zidane and Ronaldinho..that is a no brainer although Makele and Emerson are good players.
It is difficult to compare a defensive midfielder and an offensive midfielder..as someone said that is comparing apples to oranges. However if I was Parreira I will select Ronaldinho and find one someone else to replace Emerson. Do you think it easier to replace Ronaldinho or Emerson? Do you think it easier to replace Zidane or Makele? Do you think it easier to replace Latapy or Nakhid?

not to say Nakhid wasn't a creative midfileder too.  We laugh at the Americans when they start to count 'assists", but I think this would highlight Nakhid's greatest strength.  Correct me if I wrong too, but it seemed to me to appear as though, the defence Nakhid was playing in front of was more shaky than the one Latapy was playing in front of (in their primes), so yuh find Nakhid had to play that kind of role more.

and I disagree with the automatic pick for the more attacking midfielder, cuz if we have a side and is four ah we on this forum in defence, with a midfield of Zidane, baggio, latapy, and we lookin for a 4th...b/c we defence shaky yuh ent feel we go go for a defensive?

dcs, I agree fully.  I think in this present set up we have enough good strikers, so we doh need another offensive threat at the expense of defensive liability...what we really want is a man who could deliver enough ball to stern that  if he throw way 5 he hatta at least score 1; a man to run the plays through and make use of the wingers (well at least carlos), but keep up the defensive duties like we doing now - that bill sound more like a Nakhid than a Latapy to me.

thank yuh FF...for a while I thought it was who have the biggest mouth woulda win the argument as usual. In my opinion - when it came down to having absolute control of the midfield and then puttin down a pin-point accurate pass Nakhid was it...but I was jus provoking argument, cuz them two players play with 2 different supporting casts...with about the same result....but I ent see the night and day contrast that andre and palos want to make it out to be like.
palos - who is the man who replace Nakhid (since you infer he born already)?
but is jus my humble opinion...like this one

it was a really good match...Panama should have put away their chances.  Panama launch all sorts of attacks on the Americans.  To be fair, the Americans had a fair share of opportunities too...this match have me wondering if that is the same Panama we beat 2-0.  How many new players do they have? they have a new coach or something?  what happened? The journey looks harder for team t&t now, but as an older head in the forum pointed out to me - one or two results, or one tournament doesn't signify total change.

I have a feelin' that them days of Mexico losing to the US in important games done!! Right now Mexico running like a top 5 team, no question.  Problem is Mexico have absolutely no respect for Concacaf teams, and as such will always be liable to a loss....but if you is a gambling man, bet yuh money on mexico for the gold cup.

So you put Mexico losing more often than not in the past 10 years to the hated gringos as a lack of respect? You got to be kiddin. If is 1 team Mexico HATE losing to more than any other is USA. It eh no lack of respect there and if you have watched the games in the past, is not like Mexico was unlucky to lose most a dem games. They were OUTPLAYED! Case in point....WC 2002. How soon allyuh forget.

Mexico playing well right now. But they are far from this "superpower" as some of you making them out to be. I will not be surprised should they lose to US, Costa Rica and T&T in those countries in this WC qualifying campaign.

Matter of fact, while T&T and to a lesser extent Costa Rica will be underdogs against Mexico in games played in T&T and CR, USA will be favourites to beat Mexico in USA and rightfully so in my opinion.

I hear yuh...but what I sayin is a new day for Mexico football.  US go get 3 in the US...Mexico about to separate themselves from the rest of concacaf standards.

I know real men on the forum will disagree, but check that last Mexico match - that first goal Atiba shoulda clear the cross - he mistime he header, and check the 21st min. he head he clearance to a MExican in the box.  He had a worse game than Jack in my opinion.

If I'm not mistaken, it was Carlos Edwards' failure tuh deal wit de cross dat led tuh de first goal. De mistimed header in de 21^st minute, wasn't it Lawrence dat was responsible fuh dat?

Tallman yuh spot on here as usual... Charles had a very good game against Mexico

I agree , yuh on the ball tallman!!! Nah that was charles misheader in the 21st min of the 2nd half...2 plays after the goal.  And I now agree that charles had a good game regardless.  He entitled to he 1 mistake.
but airballs look like a team problem, and yuh know dem yankee love a cross.
