Thread for the T&T vs Bermuda Game (22-June-2008).

[Touches]

I have a tactics question?
How do you score against against a team that will sit 10 men in the defense, and clog up the field and passing lanes.
If you cross the ball into the box, our forwards will be surrouned.
If you try to take route 1 and go down the middle it will be over crowded and everyone will be man marked.
Whats the solution?

Mr MC.

You go down the flank...it is one - two players max you contend with.

Then you cut in and beat and they will kick you down...Penalty!

After you do it the first time they will be fraid to tackle and you set it up..small goal style...by line...square back...tap in.

Last ditch resort...let Tallest go on top and knock down the air ball...they did that in the last 10 min and it produced most of the chances for stern to throwaway.

Keep the faith..we beating Bermuda.

'Beware of backlash' - Royal Gazette

Bermuda football fans confident of another win over Trinidad - Royal Gazette

Adding spice to the occasion, Premier Ewart Brown has offered a friendly wager to Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Patrick Manning by asking him to place the pride of his country's national flower on the line.

The loser of the match will have to plant the other's national flower on the grounds of his official office — a Bermudiana for Bermuda or a Wild Poinsettia for Trinidad.

"The Prime Minister says he's not a betting man," said the Premier. "But I told him if his team advances I'll plant his flower at the Cabinet Office. If our team wins I will be sending him some Bermudiana.

Defending country and honour
Shakir says it will be humbling for Trinidad when Bermuda beats them
Bermuda skipper Omar Shakir is preparing for an onslaught from the Soca Warriors as his team attempts to make Trinidad pay for the disrespect they showed after Sunday's shock victory.

Shakir and his central defensive partner Kofi Dill go back into the trenches this weekend braced to withstand the full force of Trinidad's attacking power.

And they will take to the field on Sunday night with the taunts of the Trini press - who could not quite believe they had been beaten in the first leg on Sunday - ringing in their ears.

"They have put extra pressure on themselves by not giving us any respect before the first leg and then not giving us any credit afterwards," said Shakir.

"They expected to sweep us aside. I believe they did underestimate us, but they won't make the same mistake again, so we are in for a much more difficult game.

"It would be very humbling for them to be beaten by lowly Bermuda given what they think about us at this point. They won't want to go back to Trinidad with their tails between their legs."

Do you believe? Bermuda’s national football squad comes together in a huddle after training yesterday. The players are hoping to complete a World Cup victory over Trinidad after beating them 2-1 in the first leg of their qualifier.



'Beware of backlash'
Bermuda national team coach Kenny Thompson has warned his troops to beware of a backlash from a wounded Trinidad and Tobago in this weekend's World Cup qualifying decider....http://www.royalgazette.com/siftology.royalgazette/Article/article.jsp?articleId=7d86a3730030001&sectionId=70

Move to get more seats
BFA petitioning FIFA to allow 750 more fans to see World Cup game
Bermuda football bosses are hoping to increase the capacity of the National Stadium to meet an unprecedented demand for tickets for Sunday's World Cup clash with Trinidad.

An announcement is expected this morning on whether FIFA - the world governing body for the sport - has granted a request from the Bermuda Football Association to accommodate a further 750 fans.

The official capacity of the stadium is 4,380. But Bermuda's 2-1 victory in the first leg created such a sense of anticipation that all those seats were gone before 5pm on Wednesday....http://www.bermudasun.org/main.asp?SectionID=24&SubSectionID=270&ArticleID=37947

Your forwards need to play around the 36 yard line(attacking) and the mids need to play just inside the opponents half and bait them. All you need is to shift one player out of position and will be best if it is a central  player you move out of position. Once this happens the forwards have to make hard diagonal runs and the wingers need to push wider at this point, before cutting in. Cannot allow them to regain any shape. It will be hard to drop off and organize because they would have already been to deep. The mids have to stepp up and unleash some bullets of the ball coming back from the wide players.

[Jayerson]

That's assuming the manager has the tactical nuance to come up with such plan.

Thee coach would devise a plan to break down the opposing defense; the opposing team will not stand still on defense, they will come out to make the tackles... which will allow us to shoot or knock thru the spaces for set pieces. If they want to play that type of game it will be in our benefit. Trust me… we will ketch them on target practice ah couple must fly past thee keeper. The only problem is do we have players who could finish on those opportunities.

ah rell like dis kinna talk

from U.S. Soccer

The winner of the second-round series advances to a semifinal group that is likely to include Cuba, which hosts Antigua and Barbuda after winning 4-3 on the road; Guatemala, which has a 6-0 lead against St. Lucia going into the second leg in Los Angeles; and Trinidad and Tobago, which lost 2-1 at home and must win at Bermuda.

Well they're still counting us in for the semi final round

Former Captain Clayton Morris being interviewd on Tv6 now

As everyone else, he saying we need the experience on the side and he talks about how sad it is not to have our best players cause of the so called black list.

If more and more former players keep coming and speaking about the black list, hopefully the public would really see what going on

Yes Kelvin Jack is our best and hero Goalie and he not in th squad.  Collin Samuel, Birchall, Theobald, and Wolfe atleast deserve to be on the bench with dept.

[weary1969]

I blieve Jack still injured
