D Touches Match Report TT vs USA...History has been written!

[WestCoast]

Carlos is not a leader.

I would have said the same of Yorke up until he quit the national team in 2001. He was about Carlos age then, i think.

Yeah I not ready to sign off on de "Carlos is not a leader" bit just yet.  Much of leadership comes with experience... especially for those to whom it doesn't come quite naturally.  I honestly don't know on which end of the spectrum Carlos lies, I don't know him or enough about him that well to speak.  I do believe that like Birchy he has the potential to lead by his example.  I don't think anyone could ever accuse de man (Carlos) of never playing hard.

wait nuh, all who say he ent ah leader, 
allya want him to have a Coup or wha?
he should Just tek over fom Dwight and Latas?
Up until he got injured I thought for sure he would be our next capt
granted, this latest injury has set him back a bit
BUT during the USA game the old Carlos was emerging from behind all the caution that I am sure he felt

Yeah I am not ready to write Carlos off as not a leader yet. He has all the signs to be a great leader to our troops. The work ethic. The fearlessness. The passion. The experience. [The thing Yorke and Latapy has above everybody else in addition to these traits is the adoration/respect of ALL], Carlos was knocking on the door. Heck he probably has it.

The fans like us could aid his total recovery to top form by our unequivocal support.

Notice MeMum's acknowledgement of the important place of fan support.


BTW allyuh eh notice that SWEET chip from Carlos "Rolls Royce" Edwards to the "Little Magician" to score T&T's first goal?  Absolute Top Draw stuff. He is playing like a man getting back to top form.

Fella, try and keep de riddim nuh... obviously we talking about situations when Dwight and Latas not on the pitch

He easily defers to Yorke and Latas when they're on, but in their absence his lack of confidence in his team mates is readily apparent, giving way to frustration and eruptions at his younger team mates.

Cocorite... agreed on both accounts: Carlos still has time yet to grow into the role.  The chip was ah boss chip too... even Harkes was giving him kudos for it on ESPN.

OK, fair enough
and I did not realise what Cocorite said is how things are.

The WN crew had the flag proudly displayed, I saw Patriot being interviewed by Synergy TV and the US and TT anthems were played by the Woodbrook playboyz. It is funny but this crowd actually sung the anthem loud and clear.

Look de clip:
