All that blood that rushing tuh yuh head clouding yuh rational processes...
Are you serious? Trinidad and Tobago, the PFL and the players should in no way be modest about this victory.
I never said that anybody should be 'modest'. After yuh sip some water and calm down go back and read what I wrote again and you'll see I said two things:
1. The strong influence of the non-Trinis on that team (in this series) means that you cannot realistically use this as a gauge of the talents of the local Trini players. It has nothing to do with giving/not giving credit... the discussion was in reference to Wim's assessment of the local players and how this may or may not impact that assessment.
2. My comment to Warrior Queen relates to the fact that Joe Public beat a team that is struggling right now. It doesn't qualify Joe Public's victory in anyway, but just because one PFL team beats one MLS team... that by no means is safe for us to start comparing the leagues.
It's really not that hard.
Joe Public is a Trinidadian team although it comprises of different nationalities. When Manchester and Chelsea reach Champions League Finals(stars(drogba and ronaldo) on both teams are NOT English) people talk about the strength of the EPL so why the hell people cant talk about the improving PFL.
People shouldn't talk at all, not until they learn to read. If the LA Galaxy beats Man U. does that mean that the MLS is better than or on par with the EPL?
THAT is the issue being discussed... not this nonsense strawman talk about "improving PFL". Nobody said that the PFL isn't getting better.
The core of the Joe Public team is Trinidadian. The service to Richardson was Trinidadian. All that aside Richardson is a boss player and the Guyanese should be dam proud...the man is a boss. Bake n Shark is one of the people I see does constantly be posting articles about US progresses in the game.
You sure yuh see dat? Because I just talk tuh Bakes and he say that he has NEVER posted any article about "US progresses in the game".
Nothing wrong with that, USA has been improving and deserve respect in the Football world. However, he does never acknowledge that T&T have decent local players that could stand toe to toe with Americans given the right training and so on.
got proof?
Up to this day USA has never produced a World Class player. They have a very solid team of Good players but nobody is World Class. T&T do that in Latapy and Yorke.
MLS is much better funded and supported than the PFL. We talking about men in MLS making millions and hundreds of thousands of dollars to play football and cant even beat a team that 5th or 6th in their league with players making a small money for the year. and the aggregate score was not even close 6-1 and the one goal come from a penalty. Regardless of injuries and fatigue 6-1 !!! New England on the top of the east coast also....I mean come on...
Several things...
I don't know what your "world class" player talk have to do with the discussion. Nobody but you is comparing local players to American ones. Not like the PFL has produced world class players... if that's where yuh was going.
Secondly NE is actually second, not atop the East. Not that it matters much because they've been poor of late. Recent form not overall record is the truest gauge of the team. But as I said this isn't to qualify the accomplishment of Joe Public itself. It's a tremendous performance.
the PFL is improving and if it had proper funding, support and incentives for players...who knows....just imagine W Connection beat Chivas9who at the time was in the top 20 teams(i think) in the World) albeit they lose the return(Mexico is very hard to play in)...and just imagine men still on this site crying down the local players and league.....PFL beating people...T&T will beat people...Respect them
When yuh have a rational and lucid moment... please direct me to the posts in this thread where people were crying down the PFL and the local players. I wouldn't bother asking you to post links to anything I said, because I know they don't exist... but anything showing where others were 'crying down' players and league should suffice.
My guess is that after you realize that you made an ass of yourself in your overreaction you'll quicker try and pretend none of this ever happened, than to actually respond to the requests I made here. Hopefully you'll try and prove me wrong... should be entertaining.
