Again we must go cautiously to Panama. Many of the posters are NOT realists here at all. Just like some of them men bawling oh we go give Costa Rica 3 and 4 etc. Whatever!! We were supposed to DRAW CR a win against them would have been a surprise and we played well and with some luck we definitely deserved at least the DRAW!! Come on guys we love T&T but be REALISTIC. The game against Panama we are supposed to win, regardless of if we have beaten or drawn CR or whatever, this game against Panama is "supposed" to be a win for us, BUT REALISTICALLY it will/should prove difficult, so once we win no matter how we do it I taking it, well obviously we need it. Just don't get over zealous and obviously non-realistic and say that oohh we go win easily and we much better etc. The fact is that we are NOT we just NEED the WIN more than Panama and must play with blood in our shoes, not that we bound to win, we MUST win, but we will have to play them even better than we did when we won at home 2-0. That is REALISTIC if we win easily etc. that is just a bonus.
And REALISTICALLY we must HOPE that Guatemala loses to Mexico, they may draw but playing in Mexico they have a better chance to lose but you NEVER KNOW especially since they will be going all out still. And against Costa Rica, we have to hope that Guatemala DRAWS, however I would not be surprised if the beat CR, that is still REALISTIC.
And finally, our MOST REALISTIC result when we play Mexico is a DRAW!!! I have been saying this since flicking January when I heard about our Hex games this year!! YES a win is going to be 99.999% imperative based on Guatemala's result especially if they were to beat CR. HOWEVER MARK MY WORDS: It is more realistic for Guatemala to BEAT CR in their last game than it is for us to BEAT Mexico!! Ok get annoyed but I am a realist. I still think that we have a great chance for 4th. but we must PROVE it. When Guatemala played the US and we played CR I knew that a draw for us against CR was the most realistic as well as a draw between Guat. and the US, but everyone in their own dream world only keep on bigging up the US and saying that ohh they bound to beat Guatemala blah blah blah!! And you cannot blame the US for sending a 2nd string team to tryout new players and OBVIOUSLY a DRAW was the most REALISTIC but again maybe it is the less knowledgeable forumites that claimed that the US would win, we would beat CR and also that we would beat Mexico. I am just or even more a supporter than you all but YOU MUST be realistic and know what you are talking about!! We should indeed beat Panama, but against Mexico, anything more than a win WILL be a bonus and should take us to 4th. REALISTICALLY, but again we must proceed against Panama with caution and even more so when we play Mexico, the fact that Mexico has already qualified is irrelevant, however playing in T'dad should give the Warriors a bigger heart however they MUST convert those chances.
Realistically as well I am praying/hoping and looking for my personal favourite striker Kenwyne Jones to featyre in both games (fingers crossed) because we CANNOT rely on John again if he continues to disappoint ESPECIALLY when we play MEXICO.
Yes the truth hurts but the real football knowledgeable ones will know that my realism is the TRUTH.
Onwards Warriors over Panama!!
Jason.
