Barbados to play Bermuda.
By Colin Thompson.

Barbados will be taking no prisoners when they arrive in Bermuda early next month to play two crucial World Cup warm-up matches against the Island's senior national team at the National Sports Centre (NSC).

That was the ominous warning from Barbados coach Eyre Sealy yesterday who has promised to touch down in Bermuda with "a very strong" squad that could include the likes of Crystal Palace midfielder Paul Ifill, Doncaster Rovers striker Mark McCammom and former Queen's Park Rangers defensive midfielder Gregory Goodridge.

"We are coming here looking to do the business in preparation of going on to the States (for a first leg of their World Cup qualifier against USA on June 15) and will be fully ready. We pretty much mean serious business," said Sealy, whose 'Bajan Pride' take on Trinidad's 'Soca Warriors' in a practice match in Trinidad this weekend.

Barbados, ranked 23 places above Bermuda in Fifa's world rankings, defeated Dominica 2-1 on aggregate earlier this year in their opening World Cup qualifier to set up a June showdown with the USA.

Many had predicted the Bajans would stomp all over the lowly ranked Dominicans. However, Sealy's men were forced to dig deep before they eventually prevailed.

"The thing about World Cup football is that a lot of stats tend to go out the window because teams do whatever is necessary to prepare themselves well for World Cup qualifiers," Sealy said. "Dominica were a totally different side than we would have played against a year before."

The former Barbados goalkeeper said he expects Bermuda, who held his team to a 1-1 in the 2006 Digicel Cup in Barbados playing with ten- men, to also be up for the challenge.

"We are expecting the same thing from Bermuda who are preparing for World Cup qualifiers (in June against Trinidad) as well," said Sealy, who expects to arrive in Bermuda next month with a squad of 18 to 20 players. "Bermuda played very well against us the last time we played them.

"They were very competitive and really put in a lot of effort and I was very impressed with them. So we expect to play two hard games when we arrive because Bermuda are not going to be pushovers."

Only last week the Island's senior national team returned from a five-day training camp in England which included a practise run out against a Chelsea Reserve XI.

Bermuda eventually went down 4-0 after blowing a chance from the penalty spot, with Chelsea assistant coach Vic Betinelli impressed with the quality and work ethic displayed by the tourists.

"The match was a closely contested affair," Bermuda Football Association (BFA) technical director Derek Broadley said. "We had a way into the match with the scores deadlocked, but missed a penalty.

"Timmy (Figureido) made some good saves to keep our side in the match and overall we put on a good display."

The England game dominate the board, so everybody forget about this game.

It nice to see T&T playing many friendlies going into the qualifiers, but ah woulda prefer if the team was ALMOST settled by now, meaning that we should have had the core team, and only experimenting with three or four new faces.  Also at this stage the quality of the friendly opposition coulda be a lil higher too.  I personally feel them setta low ranking teams we playing with we juniors, would amount to nothing more than a fete match/fund raisers for the TTFF coffers, because it would be a whole new ball game and team make up when the thing really start.  The undefeated status against low rankers only serve to give a false sense of security that the team on spot.

For real eh, but it will still provide some more depth in the squad....something that we were lacking for a while.... After looking at the team over the last few games, and having a look at the over seas, I'm hopeful that Maturana will finally select the actual side to go into the qualifiers...

I had an idea Connell wasn't there because of he club... Is it just me or does he reminds you of Evans Wise as a valuable left footer

[weary1969]

Please do not compare d man 2 Wise

[Sando prince]

Please do not compare d man 2 Wise

Thank you!

[weary1969]

Your welcome

[Babalawo]

Please do not compare d man 2 Wise

not in skills brother i mean in our limited resources for left footers.. We were desperate for left footers in some systems we use to make room for Wise.  now Connell could be our best attacking left footer

[FATZ]

If England decides to play strong, we'll comfortably get 6 or more but if they decide to take it easy which i think is going to happen they'll settle for 3. Let me hear some predictions.

[asylumseeker]

m-e-r-g-e-r   

[WestCoast]

m-e-r-g-e-r   

we could get AB Trini to explain to Fatz what that really means

[Midknight]

Which TNT team playing? the Soca Warriors or the Force Ripe Worriers they put to play Jamaica? Which England team playing?  The Three Lions or the 1 and a Half pussycats that play France?

[Sando prince]

If England decides to play strong, we'll comfortably get 6 or more but if they decide to take it easy which i think is going to happen they'll settle for 3. Let me hear some predictions.

Alot of people said England would have given us 6 or more at the world cup but what happened?...Thought Sweden was suppose to mash we up too in Germany

[FATZ]

m-e-r-g-e-r   

we could get AB Trini to explain to Fatz what that really means

Please do explain, i was already prepared for the hits.
