Fuel for the fire

This riles me:

"With 12 points already and a remaining schedule that does include some relatively interesting contests, but also two absolute walk-over home games against punching bags Trinidad & Tobago and Panama, this thing is over. After the USA throttles Trinidad in the home of the Whalers later this summer, everything else will be even more of a formality."  From mlsnet.com

Fellas to tell you de trute I sorry we have de Gold Cup now.After dat tournament teams will pay us more respect.Ah see we have Panama again in we group.Colombia will be a good measuring stick  and Honduras ain't no push overs so if we come out a dis group with 3 teams rank higher than us dis will serve notice .

well while we lose the element of surprise we need match practice badly.  we cyar just be training like rocky and expect to beat a good team like the US.

I will not exactly endorse the idea that after the  2-1 win they got out of us in TNT is an indication that we will be 'throttled'' but then again one has to consider the 'arrognant '' source of the U.S.A

Let us get real.  We are putting the pieces into place nicely after the two most recent games but until we beat one of the top teams in Concacaf on their home soil, these comments are in order.  Plain talk bad manners.

Let's face facts, the last time we sniffed the US backside was in 1989.  On that day the two football programs went in completely different directions.  In 2005 we are still trying to put the foundation in place.  Thanks Jack.

The criticism is justified until we start beating these top teams in our region on a consistent basis.  Look at the US and Mexico records against Concacaf opponents and you will realize the gap that has opened up at the top.  The US no longer looks for friendlies against Concacaf nations but get invited to play with the big boys. Mexico is an establish soccer power.  Respect is not given it is earned.

It aint have no one more a Soca Warrior fan than me but I am facing facts and past performances.  I Cah hang meh hat on the future just yet.

Put we on the map Beenie!!!
