Football / Carlos and them is Dogs if they Play the Gold Cup

« on: April 30, 2007, 09:33:46 AM »

For all the men and them who willing to break the ranks of the world cup players and play for TnT they will have to go down as Dogs in my book.

if as a team everyone agree to a certain contract and if half the team is willing to hold out then the whole team should be willing to hold out.

How are we to know that Carlos and them did not get some money below the table to break the ranks and destroy the solidarity of the team.

The team need to stick together and force the TTFF to settle this issue financially and have the real warriors represent TnT in the gold cup.

United we Stand Divided we fall!

Football / Give Jack he Jacket

« on: March 26, 2007, 12:16:00 PM »

I is one of the biggest anti Jack Warner men out there but I have to give him some props.


If it is one thing Jack did was build those stadium for the U17.

Looking at the Local Stadium that Jamaicans are using for their Red Strip Cup

It bring back memories of TnT football from 10-15 years ago them fields look just like Eddie hart Savanah, Skinner Park, The Savanah PSA grounds etc etc

he first thing out good football is that you need to have good fields.

Sad to say but if jamaica using this caliber of fields to prepare their best local team they will never be able to competed with world standards.

Fields make a difference.


The Contribution by Jack Warner to build these smaller stadiums around the country that can be used by the PFL teams to play on is probably the biggest single contribution that anyone has made to improve TnT Fooball ever.


Watching the surface that Wconnecion played on versus Chivas and watching the surface that Portmore is playing on is like night and day.

But the sad thing out TnT football is soon as you go outside the stadium the club grounds are all bad as they have always been.



When you playing on a field that have both tall grass and no grass because some parts have savanah grass and some parts have timari you know you in trouble.

Kudos to Jack for at least building the stadium.

Football / Anybody have a lil money to spare ...now is the time

« on: March 08, 2007, 10:38:42 AM »

Now is the time to step up and take over the national program.

I willing to put in at least $100,000 US we need to come up with about $10 million US

He who pays the piper calls the tune.

Now is the time

If we step up with enough money to cover the coaching salary, pay for gold cup accomodations etc etc we could take over the Team and The TTFF.

Ultimately the TTFF will listen to who ever paying their salaries and keeping them in thier post.

And if jack really serious about quiting then he will not fight it too much.

and even if he come back in the fold hurry hurry at least football will go on which is what we want.

i do not see the Govt jumbie-ing the scene too much as they let Jack do what he want and no reason why they would not let a new Football Benefactor do what they want.
All they really want is a lil press and pictures to help with elections coming up.

many people talk about the TTFF and Jack Warner now is a good opportunity where YOU can take over the whole scene and make things right.

With enough money TnT football will be under our control
Join in if you ready!

Only serious people need post.

Please post the Quantity you have available to use for this investment in US dollars.

Football / Anybody Know wht FSW set we up

« on: February 15, 2007, 08:29:18 AM »

For the W connection match
Twice they had it listed on the TV guide and twice they did not show it. For those who went to the match was there any TV camara there?

I hope they show the return leg because they real diss me.

I was expecting to see the game on TV instead they showing some FA cup crap

Football / Will Brichall Kids be able to play for Trinidad

« on: February 07, 2007, 12:16:00 PM »

I understand that his Mom was born in TnT so that makes him eligible but does it extend to grand kids as well.
Meaning if brichall have some children who are born in England can they play for Trinidad because their father was able to play for Trinidad.

Tallman should be able to dig up the Fifa laws on this.

In the future this will have a big impact because with over 1 million Tnt people living on the outside if each one of them have 2 kids that 2 million extra people to chose a national team from, all of who might grow up in a country where Youth development programs are well structured.

in 15 - 30 years we could have a totaly different way of picking a national team.
In some cases we are 1 generation behind Jamaica in this respect as they have had an earlier Exodus with much larger numbers. The Greatest number of Trinis started migrating in the late 80's and early 90's so 25years from now we are talking about second genration Trinis in mass numbers all over the world.
Will they be able to play for the national team.

Realistically jamaica could probably field youth teams to senior teams with 100% foreign based with high quality players. (1998 was just the start:))

Football / The perfect ban by jamaica

« on: February 07, 2007, 08:44:24 AM »

Jamaica Ban marlon King from 2006 to 2008, this is a really jokey ban because is not like he playing any games for them until 2008 when qualifiers start back.

Talk about Jokey discipline by JFF

maybe they fooling themself



Watford striker Marlon King's international future could be over after the Jamaican Football Federation handed a two-year ban to the 26-year-old.

King was involved in an incident before Jamaica's friendly international against England last summer and was expelled from the squad for disciplinary reasons.


MARLON KING A four-person committee has examined the case and decided to impose a two-year ban on the former Gillingham and Nottingham Forest forward.

"They looked at the case and the decision taken by the management committee in England was upheld," general secretary of the JFF Burchell Gibson told The Jamaica Observer.

"The committee also further imposed a two-year suspension on Mr King from all national duty and representation of all football staged by Jamaica or any of the Jamaican teams effective the 31st of May 2006, so that will expire on the 30th of May 2008.

When it comes to sport Sky covers it - join in "If he does not appeal, or if he appeals and is not successful, then he would not be eligible to represent any Jamaican team or participate in any Jamaica-sanctioned game until May 2008."

Football / Arsenal Men who alyuh backing to win the title

« on: February 05, 2007, 11:40:41 AM »

Man United or Chelsea

It looks more and more that the title will come from one of these two teams. So I wonder who Arsenal fans will ranther see win.

The Chelsea dominance continue or a return to prominance of Man U

or maybe just rather the rest of fixtures get cancelled for bad weather and start all over again next season.

Football / How much money we get for coming second

« on: January 25, 2007, 07:36:42 AM »

 I see haiti get $50000 US for coming First
What we get a $25000 US or a something? anybody know?

It will be interesting to see how the money get paid out to the players it will say alot about what the TTFF plans to do

Is either they share up the money with these players with the hope to win their minds so going forward for 2010 these men will not cause a financial comotion like the current socawarriors

or the TTFF will just keep all the money and maintain the status quo

remember we still have some law suits in england pending over the World Cup money with the players
So it will be interesting to see how this thing plays out moving forward.


Will these players commit 100% to playing on or will they now start to grip for more money.

the saga continues

Football / Technically the second haiti goal maybe offside but it is debatable

« on: January 24, 2007, 09:13:01 AM »

The forward was in an offside position when the shot was taken

He did not distract the keeper so there is no offside on the original shot.

He did try to get the rebound, if he touched the ball he would be offside.

However the rebound was first touched by a TnT player who kicked the ball onto the previously offside Haitian player. The ball then fell to another Haitian who scored the goal, this player was not in an offside position.


The debate is whether by touching the ball first the TnT player negated the advantage that the Haitian player had by being offside in the first place. Hence it would not be considered offside.

The Haitian player was in an offside position on the orginal shot but he did not gain an unfair advantage from being in that position because he did not obstruct the keeper and he did not touch the rebound. But he tackled the player who got the rebound and the ball went to another haitian who scored.

I vote for offside but I can see how it can be up for debate.

keeper is to blame for both goals.
GK 101 parry the ball to the side of the goal not in the middle

Football / The Warrior nation Should go to the Jabloteh game

« on: January 18, 2007, 03:24:14 PM »

for the tournament that they saving their players for and Boo them from start to finish loud and clear.

and cheer for who ever is the opposing team they have to play against.

That would be real kicks.

I feel this would let the owners and the coaches know that by discarding the national team they are in fact hurting their own club.

Just to let them know come correct next time!

Imagine if 1000 people show up just to Boo you
i go kill myself laughing in the stadium

Football / The Last Group games should be played at the same time

« on: January 17, 2007, 07:28:39 AM »

The fact that martinique is playing barbados before the TnT Haiti game gives TnT an Unfair advantage. Depending on that result TnT can already be qualified so the game can be meaning less and hence the whole approach can be different. (like resting me with yellow card and injuries)
you notice the world cup is set up this way.

I know this was decided before the tournament kicked off and logistically it makes sense to have double headers to reduce cost etc.

But I am just making an observation if I was Barbados I would raise an alarm because Tnt has an advantage of knowing exactly what they will need to do.

Go for a win hold for a tie etc

It makes a difference to tactics and can impact the result of who gets in and who stays out.



In the next group it will be even more critical as all teams are level with one game left obviously the teams in the second game have an unfair advantage.

but such is life

Football / We should Win the Digicel At Home no Problem

« on: January 09, 2007, 12:22:35 PM »

I have been watching all the group play over the last few weeks on the FSC highligh show and even though we do not have our best players we should still be favoured to win the tournamen at home.

The common thread amoung all the teams is that these players are mostly Amature the majority of them claim to have to work and also play football. 90% of all these teams are not full time professionals.

No sure if martinique and guadeloup will be bringing in french players for the finals but so far the players have been local based.


Cuba is a decent team but again mostly amatures so we should beat them.

barbados are 2 foreign based but everybody else local.

Our team is made up of fully professional men, most of them have experience either in US or on the fring of the national team,

Added to that fact they have been training for about 1 month with more resources that most of these other caribbean teams

These players have to be hungry this is their opportunity to get caps get established and maybe get the exposure to go foreign so they should play hungry.


based on these facts we should still win.

1) Fully Professional players (based on ability we are on par or better than all the other teams)

2) Preparations are better, we have been training as a team for 1 month

3) We are playing at home, support and familiarity should benefit us

4) Hungar to win, if these men cannot motivate themself to win then they need to get a new professions most of them have been praying for this chance.

The only thing against us is all the other teams have been playing to get to this point so they have been through the battle.
We have had no formal competitive games and there is no practice like the real thing.

That said I expect us to overcome this and Wim needs to use his experience to get these guys over the hump.

Once we ready we should win.

Football / 2006 what a year for TnT Football we come real far

« on: December 22, 2006, 12:15:16 PM »

Well this was the year that we finally make it.

We play in a world cup, Imagine that. and we aint even play that bad, we aint score no goals or hit that many shots but at least we competed well.

Who would have thought this would have every come to past.
Is years now we coming on this site and complaining about world cup and trinidad football.

Well this year we finally make it.
how you feel?

World cup come and gone now on to the next phase. What ever that is?

I remember when we was now starting out, Then Flex start up he site and start to put real information and store all articles and thing.
Next thing you know site start to grow and we have to get we own domain name and thing.

I remember on the old site when you write your Shit is was there permamently. Now your message is embedded. And on top of that men does be moving your Shit saying this is not football shit this is general discussion shit, imagine that shit.
That is how high tech we get...shit!

Imagine we get a official Fan group, Warrior Nation.
I submit meh money and braps I get jersey and bandana and thing in the mail easy easy.
Definetly not no Mickey Mouse thing.

We come real far. It is amazing how much the world change in the last 5 years, how much Trinidad football change and how much Soca Warriors Online evolve over time.

Who knows where we will be in the next 5 years.

last night I was walking through the mall and i went in the Ipod store.
looking at the small screen showing videos I was amazed at how clear the picture was.
Just a few years ago nobody never even think about ipod.

Imagine one day we go be getting Pod cast of Jabloteh vs Wconnection, Fatima vs St Mary's, TnT Training sessions, live and direct.
And the site that will make it possible is

Socawarriors.net

It is amazing what can be accomplised with consistient time and effort.
Day in and Day out men updating the site and day in and day out visitors coming.

Football / Jamaica's U 20 should be replaced by TnT in the Next rounds. Malaria Outbreak

« on: December 15, 2006, 09:09:57 AM »

Based on the mental pressure imposed on our U20 team in the game in Jamaica due to fear of malaria we should automatically be promoted to the next rounds instead of jamaica.

It is not easy to concentrate on football when you trying to make sure you dont get bite from mosquito.

It is like putting your life at stake.

At a minimum the game should be replayed on a neutral venue.

I hope Jack look into this one and do his civic duty.

It is not easy for our U20, Imagine these men does done be standing up on the fields most of the time, it makes it easier for mosquitoes to attack them.    .

based on match reports our team's play was very distrupted.

a man get Bite and he ball out " oh Lord was that a sand fly or a Adies Egypti"
The Jamaican forward reponded " I wearing  Nike and is jamaica you playing  not egypt" then Boom Goal 1-0


If this is not ground for replay I am not sure what is.
Biological Terrorism.

Jamaican football matches postponed over malaria fears
 
AFP
December 15, 2006
KINGSTON, Dec 15, 2006 (AFP) - The Jamaica Football Federation has ordered all football matches on the Caribbean island to be postponed as a "precautionary measure" following a malaria outbreak.

"This is a precautionary measure taken against the background of the deadly malaria disease currently affecting sections of the island, which can be spread where there are large gatherings," the Federation said in a statement late Thursday.

"We hereby instruct that all football competitions be postponed until further notice," the statement added, citing the advice of the Federation's medical adviser.


 
 
Some 61 cases of malaria have been confirmed in Jamaica, following an outbreak of the mosquito-borne disease in isolated sections of the island's southeast, near the capital, Kingston.

Prior to the outbreak, Jamaica had been thought to be malaria free.

Football / Win or Lose Brian Williams have to be replaced as U20 Coach

« on: November 28, 2006, 01:10:31 PM »

No excuse for playing at home and coming behind St Kitts.

This cannot be acceptable, replace him and give someone else a chance.

The U20 is a key team for us for 2010, These are the men who will replace the old men on the senior side. We need a wining attitude to be instilled in these men and they must be developing.


Also if Wim cannot have a good showing in the Digicel Cup we seriously may need to look for a replacement.

As a nation Trinidad and Tobago must consistantly expect to beat fellow caribbean opposition even with mostly local players.
We are a world cup level squad we need to have this attitude and drive on to victory!

Football / Our Womens Program should be Based in the US

« on: November 27, 2006, 11:55:30 AM »

We need to put our womens senior program in the US.

Many of the players are playing in Univesity or with minor league in the US already.

First thing we should hire an American coach from a top univesity looking for a step up.
Then for the top younger players in the TnT, get them a schol at a school all in the same region.

In the school off season get the players together regularly for camps and further devlopment.

Actively recruit children of expat who grow up playing ball in america,
have a canadian arm to catch any talent in Canada.


in 3 years we will be on par with Mexico and right behind America and Canada.

The cost will not be too much
Just the salary for the coach.
Travel Stipend once in a while, camps once in a while.

by using players from or living in the american system we will automatically get instantly better.

The environment in TnT cannot foster womens football, Mentally we are not there yet.

I remember 15 years ago they National womens team used to play my U 16 team practice games, they games were fairly competitive, most of the time we used to win   
Delia Desilver was one of the best players back then, she had a wicked left foot.

but the point is the womens team have no viable competition in tnt, They cannot play other womens teams because they will win easy, they cannot play against big men U20 and above because they will lose easy.

They have to play U16 boys teams to find some level of parity.

But U16 boys cannot prepare you for World Cup so in the end they end up just playing each other.

Without competition you cannot improve.

If the team was based in the US, There would be a million teams they could play from University to clubs etc etc, many of who would cut they arse.

End result instant improvement.

We have some of the individuals all we need is the team.
This will not happen unless we get everyone together on a regular basis in a competitive environment.

This is what Mexico did, A large % of Mexican players are mexican Americans who learned the game in America.
yes there are more Mexican in American to chose from
But we only need 11 for a football team.

With a careful well calculated plan we in the world cup for sure! we are not that far away.

mexico beat trinidad loss to America and beat Jamaica and they in the world cup easy easy.

We could surely lose to America and beat Jamaica as for beating Trinidad we could do that too because we is expert at beating we self.

Dry so Dry so we could be in the world cup.

Football / TnT U17 Have a real chance to reach World Cup

« on: November 27, 2006, 08:10:20 AM »

The top 3 from the group going.

We should be able to compete with Canada and Costa Rica and Jamaica.
America should beat all the teams in the group but these other teams should be on the same level as us if we get some good preparation on line.

The U 20 is still in the running so it may be a good boost for youth football.

A senior team , U17 and U20 world cup qualification would be a great achievement for our football going for forward.

Football / TnT Football Summary from my Recent Trip

« on: October 16, 2006, 03:17:04 PM »

fellas I just reach back from Trinidad and here are my obsevations from watching the U20 and senior game last Wednesday.

First thing is the stadium field is still in a mess. It seems like we are still unable to grow proper grass in Trinidad maybe they should hire some weed men to grow the grass.

I was in the uncovered stands and the flank was basically bumpy with some grass patches, the middle was ok, It look like the field was used for american football where you have 100 men on the side digging up the field.

Without good fields you cannot play good football, The wing players on the TnT U20 side catch they ass to collect and pass the ball all because of the bumpy field. This cannot be acceptable it is not like they does have games they right through, how much it go take to roll the field?

Without a good field do not expect good football!

The U20 Players had a good result, Barbados not good at all.
We were very good at winning back possesion and moving the ball in the back.

Players were tactically aware but technically deficient with poor ball touch, (field and ball contributed to that fact)

Maybe 3 players may be able to help the Senior team

The captain #10 is a different kind of TnT forward, he likes to run and does shoot from any where even when the shot not own, So he could give us another dimension, he also has a good scoring record so he is definetly one for the future.

The rasta playing left wing could help the senior team because he have a left foot and good work rate, need to work on finishing and pass selection.

the Midfield player who score the roly poly can help the senoir side, becuase he is a strong running midfielder with good footskills. Good short passing range but I did not see him hit any long ball.

The center defenders are ok but a bit wild.
The Goalkeeper is solid.

Brian Williams is the coach he doing a good job but like he bias for rasta because I never see so much rasta on one side yet

Barbados did not provide much opposition but for the most part we play decent and if we improve ball touch and play on a better field we will look much better.

Wim should put the 3 players I mention on the senior team now, If for nothing else the experience because we need to push we men with potential.

Hopefully they will be included for Digicel Cup and Gold Cup.



For the Senior Team

you can see a big difference between the foreign based and the local based.

Everybody for the most part had decent games against SVG and Panama
The SVG side is real weak do know how Jamaica could lose to them at home.
I surprise Stern buss 2 and Yorke score 1 because the night before they was up in the Zen VIP strong stong until almost 3 in the morning.

This is the way TnT supposed to look when we play these teams, Knock the ball simple simple and bang in the goals.

In the Panama match we midfield was a lil weak without Yorke, The local player in center mid play real shit.
The Local Defender Jack play even more shit. but it is good that he get a run out as he might improve for the future.

Our bigest problem now is that Carlos and Samuel are both right footed so which ever one go on the left side go always have to cut in.
Samuel does do a good job but maybe he go make a bigger impact on the right.

For we next game I would like to see Samuel play forward with Jones, put stern to sit down or put carlos in the right back with samuel on the right wind for a Cafu , ciciniho combo down the right side.
It go be pace in they waist with overlap after overlap.

The Kepper Jan look Solid he could put Jack to sit down in 4 years because youth go be on his side.


The side looking good they new players taking a lil while to settle (which is to be expected)
We have so decent youths coming through to push for positions.

TnT football in decent shape for the moment.

I think Wim need to bring more local youths onto the team now for Digicel and Gold Cup because to carry men like Yorke, Stern, lawrence, John, and they rest of the older me to that tournament is a waste, I rather take the lick now and have the men improve that to win now and in 2 years having to scramble to blood new men because it is obvious some of the men go be too old for 2010.

Football / Paging ReggaeFan reports from the Observer that he is on Suicide Watch

« on: October 04, 2006, 07:16:26 AM »

 

Reggaefan we know you are they Lurking in Cybersapce just waiting for SVG to beat TnT so you can come and run your mouth about TnT.

So stop hiding

come out and show your face.


It is not the end of the world take solice in the fact that your top players were missing but you know what.

Vincy did not bring back any of their foreign pros either.

So imagine they beat you in the Holy Office with a all local amature squad, with a couple trini based "professionals"

This might be the lowest moment in jamaica football since they came to TnT and get 4 - 0 from a club team Maple!


come out of hiding and face the music!!!

Football / Where Does Jamaica Go from here ....they get bump

« on: October 02, 2006, 11:37:11 AM »

I guess Varnes is doing a good job with SVG for them to beat Jamaica in Jamaica was not an easy thing.

jack warner also had another master mind fixtures setup by TnT by passing a tricky early tie as we are a host country. And a world cup country too ))

Jamaica need to bring in someone who willing to work with the locals.
karl Brown is a good coach but he can hardly be motivated.

A foreign coach might be good but many of them would rather not work too much with the locals

Missing the Gold Cup will hurt them dearly as their next competitive football will be in 2008 2 years away.

So how to fill the gap will be their big problem over the next 2 years.

A coach such as Varnes, St Clair, Gally, corneal would be good for them

Somebody who understand caribbean football and willing to work with locals.

Simoes is a good bet but it dont look like he coming back.

If they get a man like Sven or Waddle it would be a waste of time for the next 2 years because i do not see Sven standing in the Hot sun in Jamaica on a bumpy field trying to teach players how to trap and pass. He might view it as Purgatory.

Jamaica has a lot of players to choose from outside the country just based on Jamaican ties so their is no shortage of talent when world cup comes along,

The question is how to they get the 4-5 locals who will fill the gap and be the core of the team around the forign based.
Who is going to develop the raw talent they have so in the next 2 years the can have a strong squad, not an easy problem to slove.

Especially with no competitive tournaments to play in.

Football / I think our Preparations should more Concacaf Focused

« on: September 22, 2006, 03:03:30 PM »

One of the Biggest problems we have is consistient performace against mainly central American opposition. But this is not suprising because our players are

1) Not addapted to playing in Heat and Humidity (Mostly Europen based)
2) Not used to the short passing game

However given our physical superiority over these teams we should be able to dominate them more.

I would like to see more tours to central America and South America with the Local Based players

More Tours to Bolivia and Mexico for Altitude experience

Once we can consistiently beat Central America opposition Qualification will be almost assured because we can match up with the US and Canada kick and run style.

I like the practice games against Panama and Nicaragua we can take it from there and play the better teams.

We also should go around and play the Caribbean teams, Jamaica , Cuba , Haiti, Guyana all are good opposition to provide some good competition.

The biggest reason for the US success is how the approach the Central America Opponents,
Guatemala, Honduras, ElSalvador, Panama does take real lick from the US on a consistient basis,

main based on Speed and Air Superiority.

We need to get our players in this mode to beat these teams consitiently

Then Qualification would be easy as it would just be Head to head Battles with Mexico US and Costa Rica,


We cannot depend on English First Division or Premiership Coaches to have our players prepared for Concacaf
This has been our biggest down fall.

Football / Gallas leave Chelsea because he did not want to play Left Back

« on: September 18, 2006, 08:33:12 AM »

he wanted a center back role.

now look at him, He playing Left back for Arsenal, Life is a bitch.

And he probably will have to stay there because he is the best left back they have at the moment.

maybe if they new guy playing next to Tore lose form he might get to slide into the middle but until then is left back for him.

After all that complaining he right back where he did not want to be.

These men is nothing but smoke and mirrors!

Trincity win big in Eddie Hart League

Garfield London


Wednesday, September 13th 2006
 
 
 Trincity Nationals and Valtrin United were big winners in the Premier Division of the Eddie Hart Football League at the Eddie Hart Savannah, Tacarigua.

On Sunday, Valtrin United cruised to an easy 3-1 success over Islamic Resource Society (IRS), while Trincity Nationals were runaway 10-0 winners over new boys Pepsi FC on Friday afternoon.

The talented Irvin Reyes notched the first hat-trick of the new season in the goal-spree for the Joel Warrick-coached Nationals.

The 23-year-old former North Eastern College striker had goals in the 31st, 36th and 57th�  minutes, while seven other � players found the back of the net for Trincity Nationals, who were in cruise control for most of the second period, while adding three more items to their tally.

They led 7-0 at the interval.

Also on Friday, there was a win for four-time league champions Parliament FC-the only club to have ever captured the "Eddie Hart" title on three occasions on the trot, in 2001, 2002 and 2003-although they laboured to beat� vibrant debutants Vandykes 1-0 on Ground Three.

The speedy Joseph Peters came off the bench to salvage all three points for a disjointed Parliament line-up with a late, low drive in the 74th minute of the scrappy 80-minute encounter.

And Stern John Chocolate City (SJCC) collected their first point of the campaign, following a 1-1 draw with Arouca Hustlers on Sunday.

SJCC were beaten 1-0 by Shocking Vibes, while Arouca Hustlers edged Malabar FC 3-2 in the opening round of League matches.

Action in the League will continue this afternoon at the Eddie Hart Savannah, Tacarigua, with a match-up between Malabar FC and Shocking Vibes from 4 p.m.


Eddie Hart League results:


Trincity Nationals 10 (Irvin Reyes 3, Dion Peters, Jessie Charles, Larnelle St Hillaire, Kevin Noel, Karlon Mitchell, Nicholas Jagassar ) vs Pepsi FC 0


Parliament FC 1 (Joseph Peters)

vs Vandykes 0


Valtrin United 3 vs IRS


Arouca Hustlers 1� vs SJCC 1

Re: “The Passing Game”

 

I would like to introduce my soccer DVD to all coaches working with High school, and youth clubs in the US. I have been involved with club soccer as a director of coaches and now the assistant national coach and youth director of my country Trinidad. I would love the opportunity to share simple but effective habits on an important aspect of the game “passing”. My qualifications are as follows: US “A” License, English FA International, German “A” License, FIFA Certificate and other certificates for national level coaches.

 

 

The Passing Game is a DVD geared towards helping coaches with a series of functional passing drills. It emphasizes the proper habits of passing the preparation for passing. Examples of grind work are also done to show the importance of making timely decisions with correct surface area. This DVD is a must for all clubs, High School and College Coaches as part of their training program.

Football / Wham to the Trinidad and Tobago Brooklyn Team?

« on: August 07, 2006, 02:11:09 PM »

I hear they taking real licks.

All kind of 5 and 6 and & from Side like ST Kitts, Haiti , St Lucia etc

I never hear of such a thing in my history.

How can a Trinidad side take so much licks against Caribbean opposition.

I hear Lobo is the coach which is suprising because he is a good coach.

It must have some men here who does play football on this team or at least some men in Brooklyn who good enough to help the team out


Let meh hear what the issues is

B/c I might have to take meh Broko Foot out of retirement to save the name of Trinidad and Tobago.

This is a World Cup year for WE
How can we be taking so much Licks!
