Is not that the St's and Bdos and Haiti improve by no drastic level. It is simply OUR LEVEL Drop off bad bad and instead of fixing the problems we find excuses and contrive ways and means to justify the shit we do and the bad preparation.
Go back and find the post I type about us being bright cxc students but want to do university exam. (nuttin has changed since then) In fact we regress and we done sign up for remedial.
Anyway TI lets see how the tournament progresses shall we.
Touches you are a true diplomat !...and you have a lot of patience too .
I agree with you about the standards being lowered and i say this not having seen a game live in this Cup. When i read things like ..men kyah trap, pass or even tackle I must wonder about the state of today's game even if we win 5-0 or 10-0 .
Many forumites just blow with the results..we win de team good , we lose de team bad ! When i used to coach I would say there is a certain minimum standard to which all players should aspire. i didn't feel satisfied if a player could not make a proper pass...even if the ball reached the intended target. As a coach I felt that I needed to see a better team player with good fundamentals, after some time.
The game is a passing game played by individuals playing as a team.... that is of course only my assessment and i make no claim to being an authority.
I remember a T&T team ( defence force to be exact ) playing and losing at the Arima stadium in what is still for me the best performance by a T&T team on local soil. Those who were there to see them lose by a single goal to argentina juniors with players fresh from the world cup finals would know what I mean.
They lost ! ...but they played well tactically, technically and physically. They were playing for the right to represent the region at the world club championship. They were the Concacaf chamipons and deservedly so.
Nowadays we have senior players who have not yet mastered the basics or can do the right things often enough to convince the onlooker.
A reality check is really needed at this time. I am sure those who see some of the old stagers play even today dont see some of the elementary mistakes we see and read about on our senior teams. Check on the ratings of the under 20 team, under 17 team, under 23 team ..... not so good huh ? well these players would gravitate to the seniors and you know what ?...with the same diffencies not corrected.
So TI ,and i know you will see this ...it is not about any hate for any player or any lack of love for your country, it simply is telling it like it is. If you medical doctor paid you any less courtesy he might remain your friend but where would you be ?
