Hector ruled out...Warriors time to show some worth
By Shaun Fuentes (TTFF)

Trinidad and Tobago will be without the services of W Connection midfielder Hughtun Hector for Tuesday’s crucial Caribbean Cup Finals encounter with Dominican Republic after the player was ruled out with an instep injury sustained in Sunday’s 2-0 loss to Antigua/Barbuda.

Hector played in all of T&T’s previous matches in the tournament and joins Slovakia-based player Lester Peltier who is also out with a hamstring injury. Hector  will not be available for the rest of the tournament if T&T progresses to the semi-finals.

It’s a must win situation for T&T and skipper Jan Michael Williams will be hoping to see his teammates bring their A-game if they are to have any chance of overcoming a determined and organized Dominican Republic side which beat Antigua 2-1 before losing to Haiti by a similar scoreline on Sunday.

“It’s down to us and how much we want it at this stage,” Williams told TTFF Media.

“We came here knowing that we needed to win matches in order to qualify for the Gold Cup and we haven’t won a match in Antigua as yet. I think the players know how important it is for us a nation to bring this one home. I think once we win our match then things will take of itself in the second game. We cannot afford to go out this way again,” he added.

Depleted Warriors vow to come out fighting
By Wired868

Even victory against the Dominican Republic tomorrow evening might not be enough to salvage Trinidad and Tobago’s 2012 Caribbean Cup aspirations.
The “Soca Warriors” play the Dominican Republic from 5 pm at the Antigua Recreation Ground in St John’s but, regardless of the size of their victory, the two island republic will be eliminated by a draw between Haiti and Antigua and Barbuda in the second fixture, which kicks off at 7 pm.
Tournament organisers confirmed to Wired868 that head-to-head results will be the first tiebreaker used to separate teams at the Caribbean Cup. Trinidad and Tobago lost 2-0 to Antigua on Sunday and drew goalless with Haiti last Friday.
At present, Haiti has four points, Antigua and the Dominican Republic both have three and Trinidad and Tobago has one.
“We are still in with a chance and we believe and we believe,” said joint Trinidad and Tobago head coach Jamaal Shabazz, at a post-game conference posted online by the TTFF media. “We’re disappointed but our heads are not down. We pick ourselves up and go again.
“This is the challenge in football; this is the challenge in sport.”
Trinidad and Tobago has failed to register a goal so far in the tournament despite using all four strikers. And, in a TV6 interview earlier today, North East Stars coach Angus Eve publicly questioned the omission of striker Cornell Glen, who is the Pro League’s leading scorer this term.

if concacaf was a serious confederation  the games would have to be played simultaneously, because with a draw getting both teams through there could be some match fixing at work....
