waay, wha really wrong with some of allyuh dread?
A man who went the game come and post his personal opinion about the game, and allyuh want to crucify him.
That time of the month again?
Maybe the timing was a little off according to palos, but each and every single one of us who know football, know deep down that Chivas must have made connection look very ordinary for periods in the game.
Why Trinis badmind so? Everything a man say is fight down. But what yuh expect when even during our WC campaign, men was at war still.
If we win, is war, if we lose, is more war.
Seems like the only time we dont war so much is when we draw or we just not playing.
The man post up top pays a lot of respect to Chivas, and no disrespect to Connection. So whats the problem? Maybe he could have been diplomatic and concentrated more on Connections gallant fight back in the end, playing with 10 men and all....but say what.
Are we too insecure to admit that we playing against a team that is a class above us?
As Beenie said, in football, 2+2 very rarely equals 4, and this game showed that too, based on reports. Just like the US - Mex game the odda day.
To put it in context, Chivas is the top Mexican team. These top Mexican teams hold their own and beat the best from South America, I even read somewhere that this Chivas team put a 4-0 beating on Boca Jnrs a couple years ago. And these south american teams are on par with the Chelseas, man U's and Real Madrids of Europe. So playing against this calibre of opposition is in itself a very humbling experience. The team has 6 Mex national players for God's sake! You would expect them to run rings every now and then around a caribbean upstart. Like allyuh does forget when T&T national team playing Mexico, how they does have us running in circles too...
In that same context, we hadda real REAL rate Connection for the victory. I for one was real fed up of T&T teams in the past trying to play attractive football and always losing. Now it seems since last 2005 we are growing up and not as niave.
You might say we look amateurish and get run over, but i am sure it was all in our approach and game plan for the opposition. Big up to Connection, although them is not really my first choice club team in T&T, they reppin T&T now, and to play with 10 men for so long and beat that kinda opposition gives me even more respect for them.
The result itself isnt much of a surprise, we have beaten Mexican teams in the past or drawn with them (defence force - pachuca, and Connection a couple years ago 3-3, forgot who)....The real test is at the end of the month for the return game....
