Contrary to the opinion of some people on this forum I believe that the squad picked was in fact not the best possible squad that could have been picked. The main reason for this, is that we have two players in the squad, maybe more who cannot perform a job for the team in this world cup. One is Lendll Simmons the other is Keiron Pollard. However good Pollard is, and however good he will be in the future, he has only played a few ODI's if any and I do not see him playing one game in this world cup. Why he is in the squad is beyond me; we already have two bits and pieces all-round jokers in Bravo and Smith and don't give me the argument that he is in this squad to gain experience. A world cup is no place to groom future players. Secondly, I believe that Simmons was one of the selections that Lara is arguing with over the selectors. By batting him at No.8 he was effectively telling the selectors "you've given me a player i can do nothing with, so i'll bat him at 8". I believe that picking more experienced players would have been the way to go: Wavell Hinds has proven to be v.successful when playing in the Caribbean, as has Ricardo Powell who I believe should still be part of this one day team. Fidel Edwards should have been picked also to give us an extra strike bowling option despite all the shit hes liable to bowl in between.

As for your teams that don't have to fight to get out of their group...If we look at the 'new' WC results...Results since Brazil won their 3rd WC in 1970 and got to keep the Jules Rimet trophy: Brazil didn't get past the first round in 1974
De goaless streak continues, maybe we get Philbert Jones out of retirement at least he ent fraid to fire away at de net
A BSC coached TnT under 19 squad, without Dwight Yorke, did beat Brazil 4-2 in the National Stadium. Yes it wasnt the full squad but it wasnt far from it....
That Brazil squad was not even a shadow of their real squad....Their real squad went all the way to the final of that same World Cup tournament, and lost to Portugal on penalty kicks........I reiterate, we lost our games 6-0, 4-0 & 2-0....
I eh fighting down Bertille....but what yuh have to say about that ?
While I agree with peeps who talk bout BSC in terms of a senior coach I dont think his talents are being fully utilized.
I saw without a doubt BSC is the most successful youth coach in the history of Trinidad and Tobago football. Allyuh remember Signal Hill??? He was the only man who could of beaten Sando Tech and Benedicts when they were running rampant. He is still the FIRST and ONLY caribbean coach to take a team to a World Cup. So credit must be given for his abilities in working to develop youth football.. And don't forget who was the man who developed Dwight Yorke to who he is today....
So while how management skills may not transfer easily onto the senior level, we should still use him at the youth level as his track records show his level of success there.
yeah but intercol football ranks no where on the map.....Could the Signal Hill of BSC's time beat the best competitive youth teams in Brazil, Argentina, England, Holland, Spain, France, Italy, etc ?..........the average intercol player is way way way way behind the curve compared to his global counterparts who have potential to succeed at the highest level.......Intercol football is somewhat of a joke to be honest......and BSC's world cup team lost 6-0, 4-0 & 2-0.....so there should be an addendum to the praise you sing. BSC must be given credit for his abilities in working to develop youth football BY TRINIDAD & TOBAGO STANDARDS.....and sadly our standard of youth football is and has been poor..........
I respect BSC, but I'm kinda tired of people singing the same old praises of him and not putting them into a global context.......
BSC is ah good youth coach but he eh beat no Sando Tech..doh give him all dat props...
Seriously though, allyuh feel BSC will want to coach ah youth team and work in conjunction with the senior team staff? To start all youth players with dreads automatically have to sell nuts or punch at de side of de road because BSC is very set in his ways.
Kicker thanks for the correction, but when I was playing and watching football your father was still jurking off in the cane field.
imagine , with two games left in the 2006 world cup, not a single player has scored at least three goals in a game. when's the last time that happened?it would be a shame.perhaps henry could do it to get he golden boot on sunday.
but Argentina like all other teams that went into defensive mode are now back home.
