Were Iwer George when we need him? OK since Iwer not present Iwill do the honors:" Tell dem we reach!", "Tell dem we reach!"
We really reach, when we play a WCQ against the US and seem to just lie down and say "come on, have it your way". That game last night has to go down as one of our worst against the US in any WCQ, we normally leave the field with some dignity (1:0), (0:0), or at worst (2:0) with us having missed a few clear chances but now we reach an all time low.
Maturana, Jack, Anton, lack of leadership, what ever the excuse you want to choose, please be my guess but when you now have a Pro-league of your own, you been to a World Cup, and you have all the state of the art facilities; what more do you want?
I agree many factors contributed but the players themselves seem to be waiting for something to happen, no one stepped up to become a leader when there was obviously a leadership vaccum. We must now hope for a miracle in Guatemala where even the US struggled, and where we collect 5 the last time around. Even worst, we must now hope that the US decide that playing T&T in the Hex is more to their advantage than playing Guatemala and so put a good cut arse on them Guats in the US and send a "C" side to play we in POS. So we are back to depending on other teams to help us out.
Regardless of how the pieces fall, I am a die hard Soca Warrior but I am also a tired Soca Warrior, just tired of being second to this US team, especially when they obviously are not playing at their best and we choose to shoot ourselves in the foot instead of making them pay.
