Football / where are all the SSFL stats

« on: October 18, 2010, 09:03:26 AM »

My editor asked me to write an article about the SSFL. I found a great article by By Garth Wattley, Sunday Express, January 9, 2000, Pages 50 & 51. His stats seem a little skewed as they focus on the north and south and have nothing on the East and Central here take a look

http://www.nalis.gov.tt/Sport/sport_SecondarySchoolsFootballLeague.htm#statistics

I really would like to find a source which has all the league positions(for each zone) ...the big 5 competition and the intercol from as way back as 1990-2010...id even take 2000-2010.....does anyone have any clue where i can get these without looking through a back log of express archives

« on: September 30, 2010, 08:41:26 AM »

Players don't meet the PHYSICAL standards of international football. It's not totally their fault....people fail to realize that hitting the gym, eating well, adding supplements and basically become a total athlete is the weakness of our football in Trinidad. Local players don't notice that when players go outside ...they come back much stronger...that's just one problem I'm pointing out right now but there are many others....on a lighter note.....a man almost get a rainbow....commentators was shame for JP more than JP was shame. Commentator say that man should be going home with a break leg for trying that

« on: June 06, 2008, 09:27:15 AM »

It look like Cuba had more experience than our boys in their team. It look like we just throw together a small goal team. From the time the game started it seemed like we were on the bak foot giving them too much space on the ball. Our attackers weren't pressuring them from the back. They pressured and that's how the first goal occurred. We still don't have the proper mentality for futsal. It can be organized too not just a dribbling fest.

Football / Sunderland end interest in Nugent

« on: July 02, 2007, 02:34:14 PM »

All the Stern John fans, including myself can take a breath. 

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=442902&cc=5901

Sunderland have withdrawn their offer for Preston striker David Nugent after waiting in vain for an answer from the player.

The Black Cats agreed an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £6million, for the 22-year-old several weeks ago and were given permission to talk to him.


However, Nugent went away on holiday after the European Under-21 Championships in Holland without making a decision, and Sunderland manager Roy Keane has lost patience and is now looking elsewhere.


Chief executive Peter Walker said: 'I can confirm that we have withdrawn our offer for the player.


'Naturally, work continues behind the scenes to strengthen our squad ahead of the new season and talks are ongoing with a number of targets.'

Football / Re: Howard University names new soccer coach

« on: June 29, 2007, 02:48:04 PM »

Hi, i'm a officially a new member but i keep up with this forum daily. It's funny how this discussion began with the appointment of Coach Okoh who i have met personally on a trial. To my understanding coach okoh was a friend of howard's assistant coach because they both were involved with a club which had players from both the howard team and shepherd university. At the time of my trial it was made known to me that the Shepherd team had beaten the then howard team in pre season games. While speaking to coach okoh he revealed that the both teams had potential and he believed that his team possesed the stronger players. I believe coach okoh will be a good addition to Howard University because there seemed to be a blacklisting of Trinidadian players at the school for some time. Of course Trinidadian players don't make or break a team but from what i saw of coach okoh his choice of players was strong.

On the other topic brought up by the members. I have recently been apart of both the NAIA and the NCAA Div II. I can personally say that when it comes to NAIA and NCAA there are some difinite differences. The NAIA teams don't splurge as much money into there programs as the schools are much smaller than in the NCAA. Also the NAIA has no problems with the ages of players. I played with a 29 year old freshman at my NAIA school. The top schools in the NAIA have alot more international players eg. Lindsey Wilson. That program can compete with any USA College team.

I transfered to a NCAA Div II school last year and for our preason we played against NAIA teams and NCAA Div I teams. Teams chose to stay within there own Div in the NCAA because it helps theam rack up points in ranking and tournanment births. The teams don't differ much in NCAA Div II compared to Div I. But the Div I schools are allowed a bigger purse for there programs mostly because the Div I schools are much bigger than the Div II schools. That's the main reason the Div I schools get the higher quality players ie because they can splurge on scholarship offers and the schools have more people and programs to offer.

It doesn't take away from the talent's in all the divisions, but its common for MLS coaches to look at the ranked schools for players. In my opinion the coaches choose players from these instuitions because the players have proven that they can work well within a organized team framework and because they are used to a winning atmosphere.
