2013 International Friendlies

[Jah Gol]

Just finally saw the Brazil v France game, just two things...so much for TnT boasting as a team too have TWO ICONIC coaches at the helm.

Two, apart from all the turning and twisting and great runs, and unbelievable skill on display...MY (!!!) play of de game was the touch by NEYMAR for the Hernanes goal!!

Dare I say, it was somewhat Barcelonaesque.

O Seleção is an institution for them. The coaches talk to each other often its a respect shared by the players as well. I remember a video of Cafu praying for the ailing former coach Mario Zagallo before a game against Argentina.

Haiti down 2-0 but playing well...

[truehaitian]

Haiti 2 Italy 2.

This Haiti B team could have easily beat a full  Italian team

This was a full Italian team with Baloteli, Daniele De Rossi, Riccardo Montolivo, Stephan El Shaarawy and Marchisio ..leading the charge against this Haiti B side

Italy under 21 B team will give us 5. lol

Very impressed with Haiti

Well, Truehaitian to tell the truth, that is not a Haitian B-team even though  many players are locals. There are many foreign players who have not been called for this game, but the team that played Italy is basically the one that will represent us at the gold cup.

Congrats to Haiti.

What happened to your captain, the GK from france is he injured or just omitted. He has been one of your better players.

Placide couldn't join the team because of some personal issues. He is not injured. He will likely replace Montrevil at the GC. He is a very good kid.

Thats good to hear, too bad Haiti didnt make the hex they would have put up a much better fight than Jamaica. I actually have Haiti winning our group at the Gold Cup, hopefully we can take third.

And h man was saying we get the easiest group.   

a 2-2 draw with italy and a 2-1 loss to spain are excellent results, and with an all out local side, even more impressive. these fellas look like they finding their legs, and just imagine T&T played 6 friendly matches and only played with our best 11 once.  waste  of practice matches if you ask me.

I never understood why people were saying our group was so easy, we are probably the worst team in the tournament so we are in no position to call anything easy. However I would say that we are in the most balanced group.

The results by Haiti is very impressive on so many levels. The most obvious in my opinion is the economics of their country and its ability to support and garner the level of top flight opposition. Secondly consider the football infrastructure of Haiti compared to what we have.
 
So with all our wealth and pro league why is it that our development or progress has not yield the results we are seeing from a Haitian side?

[OutsideMan]

I believe this game ended in a 1-1 draw.
