Football / Stern John On Target For Coventry

« on: January 21, 2006, 04:27:55 PM »

BBC Sports
Coventry 6-1 Derby 
Dennis Wise scored on his debut as Coventry recovered from conceding a first-minute goal to thrash Derby.
Paul Peschisolido put Derby in front, but Stern John quickly equalised and added a second just after half-time.

Wise scored after 59 minutes with a deflected shot and Dele Adebola headed home his corner three minutes later.

Gary McSheffrey scored from the spot after he was fouled by Michael Johnson, and then completed the humiliation for Derby with his second in injury-time.

Jack Warner suffers from foot in mouth disease!
Listen, all yardies must understand that this is a very emotional time in Trinidad.

Again so close and yet so far!  I am not being an apologist, simply stating the facts, because, I too went overboard initially and called it a major sell-out.  But that was emotion.

The fact is Jack is being Jack.  Regardless of where the Bahranis train and play against, Trinidad still has the job to do on the playing field.

If the Bahranis are doing all in their power to prepare, it simply shows the desire they possess to make it.

Trinidad must do the same.

It is strictly a business decision as far as I am concerned (despite my initial reactions).

Jack is always spouting out and makes all of trinidad look bad.  He is a perennial trouble maker and incites the masses.

This should be a non-issue, especially as he gave his blessings.

fact is Boxhill had the decency and respect top call Jack and inform him of the goings on!

Jack said no problem, so it should be no problem.

Maybe if he had told Jamaica to turn down the request, we would not be having this debate now.

I am still peeved at some Jamaican posters here who use this row to facilitate their agendas against Trinidad and Trinidadians.

I can asure you if the shoe was on the other foot..the reactions would have been similar!

I am also disappointed by trinis who come here to flame and incite.

jack was right about one thing There is a lack of Cartibbean Unity!

Go T&T cut Bahrain asses!

Is Trinidad I born, Trinidad I come from!

Hi
I am for that. But please don't organize it like the last one.

I say lets do it somewhere in Central London.

The last one was to be organize with a sports cafe in picadilly Circus.

London Massives,
Central London is the place that we will all meet to watch the game.

Football / Re: Do we play a defensive game or attacking game?

« on: October 20, 2005, 11:59:32 AM »

Attack, Attach, Attach! Is what we have to do at home in order to get the advantage.

Playing at home first, we have drawn first blood and that is our advantage, so it is an all out but careful attack at home.

When  we get a good score say 3 nil or more, then the return leg would only be secondary.

But we must, must beat them bad at home. Ah ca take this come from behind heart attack thing, if meh heart was not good ah get ah heart attack ah ready.

Scotland rooting for Trinidad as Latapy, Andrews and Jack set up play-off

STUART BATHGATE


POLAND, Japan and Croatia should all have Scottish-based players in their squads at next year's World Cup. So too, if they get through their play-off, might the Czech Republic. The largest Scots contingent, however, could just come from Trinidad & Tobago.

The Caribbean team must also win a play-off to claim their place in Germany, but if they maintain the form they showed by beating Mexico 2-1 on Wednesday night they should have an excellent chance against Bahrain. The Mexicans had already qualified behind the United States in the CONCACAF group, but it was still a considerable feat by the so-called Soca Warriors to claim the win they required.


Coached by the former Dutch national boss Leo Beenhakker, Trinidad & Tobago missed a penalty and then fell behind before hitting back to win in Port of Spain. Had Beenhakker's side drawn or lost, Guatemala would have secured the play-off spot thanks to their 3-1 win over Costa Rica, who had already ensured the third-place finish which takes them through to the finals.

Kelvin Jack of Dundee, Rangers' Marvin Andrews, and Russell Latapy of Falkirk were the three Scots-based players in the home team's starting line-up, while Jason Scotland and Collin Samuel of St Johnstone and Dundee United have also figured. The star of the show against the Mexicans, though, was Stern John, who missed the penalty, then scored both his team's goals.

The crowd in the Hasely Crawford Stadium, already dismayed by the spot-kick failure, had been stunned into virtual silence when an audacious chip by Jaime Lozano gave Mexico the lead seven minutes before the break. John equalised in the 42nd minute, however, to revive his team's hopes, and then blasted home what turned out to be the winner 15 minutes into the second half following inspired work by Latapy.

"The manner in which we fought during the whole game to turn around the result was amazing," said the 63-year-old Beenhakker.

"Time doesn't forgive and I'm more or less at the end of my sporting career. This could be a fantastic finale for me to take part in another World Cup."

Beenhakker replaced Bertille St Clair in April after the Caribbean islanders had failed to win any of their first three games in the six-team qualifying group. Helped by the return from international retirement of Latapy and of Dwight Yorke, the coach inspired a revival in which they won four of their last seven matches.

Bahrain booked their place against T&T with a scoreless draw at home to Uzbekistan in the second leg of the Asian play-off. Having drawn the Tashkent leg 1-1, the Bahrainis went through on the away-goals rule. Japan, Iran, South Korea and Saudi Arabia were the automatic qualifiers from the Asian zone.

Football / First-time fantasies fuel Trinidad-Bahrain tie

First-time fantasies fuel Trinidad-Bahrain tie
FIFAworldcup.com

Both Asia's fifth finisher Bahrain and Caribbean islanders Trinidad and Tobago – who beat Mexico on the final day of qualifying to finish fourth in CONCACAF – will be desperate to come out on top in their November play-off and reach a debut FIFA World Cup™ finals.

T&T – oft-times overly reliant on joyful footwork and the carefree rhythms of football in the Caribbean – have found a smart balance of native technique and much-needed organisation under the tutelage of well-travelled Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker. At the helm since April 2005, the 63-year-old former Real Madrid and Netherlands coach has preached a doctrine of discipline and combined it well with the creativity alive on the sun-soaked streets of football-mad Trinidad.

Attack is key for T&T
Defence is still something of a touchy subject for the Soca Warriors. But with former European Cup winner Dwight Yorke and Stern John – who scored both goals against Mexico – roving effectively up front, the islanders are posing a significant threat in attack. The return of 37-year-old Scotland-based midfield wizard Russell Latapy from semi-retirement, at the behest of Beenhakker, has also added a bit of spice going forward. Directly involved in both goals against Mexico, the Falkirk-based creator looks like the missing piece of the puzzle for Beenhakker's boys.

With pressure heavy on their shoulders, the fragile T&T of the past might well have crumbled needing a win at home on the final day of group qualifying. But with the steady hand of their new boss and a new sense of self-belief, they managed to recover from falling a goal behind and missing a penalty through Stern John.

"The manner in which we fought during the whole game to turn around the result was amazing," Beenhakker told reporters after the match against Mexico. "It was an historic win which has left the doors open for this country to go to the World Cup."

On the other side of the globe, Bahrain also had to battle and scrap to earn their ticket to the play-off. With a defensive assurance bound to test the best efforts of the Caribbean islanders, the Asian upstarts may well be fancying their chances in the upcoming pair of crucial matches. The first leg will take place in Port of Spain on 12 October and the second back in Bahrain just four days later.

Bahrain ready, steady at the back
Some would say that playing at home in the second leg is a slight psychological advantage, but Bahrain have been on a steadily upward trajectory in recent years and will be keen to give a good account of themselves on the road in the first leg as well. Certainly their defence looked well-drilled in the play-off with usually potent Uzbekistan, leaking just the single goal.

Building on the progress initiated back in 2002 by the appointment of German boss Wolfgang Sidka, current coach Luka Peruzovic has his side fit, brimming with confidence and keen for a spot in the finals. Never having played T&T before, Bahrain can expect a different sort of test as they look to add their name to the list of finalists in Germany.

After the second leg against Uzbekistan, coach Peruzovic broke down in tears. "I can't believe it," he sobbed. "I feared we might throw it away in the second half, but the team defended so bravely. I am so proud."

It is not just about defensive steadiness, however. Bahrain have in their team a noted goalscorer in the form of Alaa Hubail. The older brother of midfielder Mohamed Hubail, he was the top scorer at the last instalment of the AFC Asian Cup and has an impressive nose for goal. Only just back from an eight-month injury lay-off, he came on late in both legs against Uzbekistan and caused more than a few headaches despite not being able to find the goal. With some more time to rest, the diminutive striker could well spell trouble for T&T's much-scrutinised backline.

One thing is certain: both T&T and Bahrain's desperation to reach a first-ever FIFA World Cup finals should make for a lively spectacle, fuelled by the fantasy of squaring off against the world's best on the biggest stage come next summer in Germany.
