you dummies still doing that everlasting post....whatever analysis you call it? chuckle. you trinidadians actually do suffer from delusions of grandeur, as you like to say "God is a trini", but i guess when it comes to football God does not get involved, but leaves that for the minions to figure out.
every where in the world federations follow the protocol of substantial financial investments in football with developmental programs and two tier leagues to facilitate promotion and relegation, except in the caribbean. you all just want to rely on raw talent and a silly 4 month league that see players unfit for the most of the year.
i happen to remember leo benhaker telling the league heads in trinidad that they need to do much more to develop players and raise the standard of play on the island specifically in the pro league, even wim was heavily criticized for telling you all about your laid back non committal attitude towards sports, football in particular.
do you all really believe that you could go out and face people who prepare for tournaments year round while you just come together a few weeks before a major tournament and achieve success? no matter who was coaching this team they would have loss to at least costa rica and canada.
we have players who obviously lack the basic skills needed to be competitive in world football. you must pay attention to our locally developed players and it's quite clear to see that most of them cannot dribble, they lack the ability to think under pressure, lack basic skills like controlling the ball with both feet, running at top speed with the ball planted at their feet, taking shots on the run with both feet comfortably, first touch and passing ability, and the most critical of them all, being able to shield off attackers giving their team mates time to find free space to receive a pass.
i notice that if any team we play applies intense pressure to keep us in our half, we hoof the ball back into our opponents half giving up possession instead of skillfully playing out the back, and that is exactly how the united states and mexico plays us every time, it's almost guaranteed. they pressure our defense who eventually hoofs the ball back to them, that's how they gain possession from us, and this has been going on now for over two decades, and no one has ever sought this out.
as for kenwin he needs to do like lawrence and latapy, go sit under a master for a couple seasons and learn the art of coaching. don't expect to get it right off the bat. maybe he's a good coach and maybe he's not, but i can tell you one thing, these women don't have an active league and has not played together for years, and the TTFA needs to get up off their tails and put in some work, or else it's more of the same ole cut tail religion from the bigger badder more prepared north and central americans.
