1) Whether it is difficult to scout all the pro leagues or not, is not the question,it just does not make sense.. I know we are not England or Italy etc: but genereally speaking the coaches do not scout the lower leagues. I do not live in T&T anymore, so I have not seen a pro-league game in a while, the standard was decent but not the greatest and we still cannot beat an MLS team on a consistent basis, and even though they scouting the PFL, basically only 3 teams may have players of the caliber that Beenie is looking for...
2) Whether politics have anything to do with who getting pick, the answer quite possibly a yes, it always has and always will, this is not correct, but some coaches will always favor some players, also Beenie, told the coaches what kind of players he looking for, and based on his selection , I can understand why certain players are left out... I don't believe there is a conspiracy against the 2 players or any others...
Let me ask you a question.... If Nakhid was still playing and was 29 years and was fit etc and could definitely add some benefit to the team, would you pic him after the whole Bahrain incident... I am sure the answer for most would be NO. The reason being is cons out weigh the pros.. Nahkid might be better than many others selected, but he will disrupt team chemistry, and that is what we want... Look at it this way, yuh busting you tail in training everyday for you PFL team because you want to be a regular starter and also hoping to get the national call, and I who doing nothing with mih football life get call for traing ahead of you, how will that make you feel, and what would it say to the other players who already there...
