Should we play our home game in 12 o'clock hot sun ?

I figure it will help us against teams such as USA.

Mexico use altitude

USA use the cold

El Salvador and Honduras use violence.

Costa Rica use astro turf and they stadium like a bowl where the fans are very close to the teams.

I feel we should have something going for us seeing that our fans are not vocal and we don't pocess what the others do.

If we play in de burning sun on a Saturday or Sunday when there is no school might bring out de crowds too.

I thought about that some time ago, but I wonder if our own oversees based players would have trouble readjusting???

Tallman · « **Reply #2 on:** February 20, 2009, 11:38:22 AM »

it doh matter. As ah matter of fact it might work to our disadvantage since we eh all dat in terms of fitness, and plenty man playing in foreign. Even de local-based eh go be accustom playing at dat time. De USA have de luxury of being able to train for all kinda weather variations.

The fans were pretty vocal for the last 2 games in the Semis against US and Cuba.....we just need to do it more often and from start to end....

You guys are real funny....

It might work if we train for that, but for us to re adjust to hot sun is still easier to if USA had to get adjusted to the heat.

And the sun does not affect dark colored people like it would against light colored.

This is very possible. We should play a few friendly games against qualifty teams in very hot climate and see what happens.

Remember, our under 20 team will be playing soon at 1pm when the sun is very hot. The under 20 schedule is all book for early games.

I know people live in America for 20 years and cant get adjusted to the cold. But the Americans could walk outside with t shirts.

Same thing with us, we were naturally born in hot claimate...

The Americans will not be able to open their eye with that sun beaming in the middle of they head.....

Which team in the CONCACAF besides Canada would have trouble with a hot-weather start?

The sun hot same way everywhere, and if they have to the US could train in any number of territories. Puerto Rico?

Plus, our foreign-based coming from playing a season in europe, the sun will be blazing for them too.

Doesn't matter, one game is still alot and its against USA, the best team in the group.. or suppose to be... but the point is, we have to use anything to our advantage as one point could determin our faith. It will only get harder for all teams, and we have to win ALL our home games as we could end up in South America and you know what could happen there, if you feel El Salvador fans was bad wait tell we go Colombia.

Allyuh ever been in US in the middle of summer, believe me, is does get hotter in the us than it does in T&T, its alot for them to play in hot sun, that it would be for we to play in cold. So to me, that 12noon thing go be a non factor... we just need to be fit strong and determined to win games.... that hot sun thing is not an advantage

Exactly! No advantage for us against the US by trying to use hot conditions. Try a bumpy ground, that might work better...

Didn't we play the last game at night...and we was "Bun" in the last 20 mins so imagine us in the Hot Sun

That might affect our players coz most ah dem play in cold,cold England.

Savannah boy · « **Reply #14 on:** February 20, 2009, 02:03:33 PM »

Is not like we playing against some Scandinavian Teams. The US team can choose to train in Colorado or Arizona...altitude or heat and I guarantee you if dey lost a game, the excuse would not be fatigue. Their player contracts are very strict in regards to body fat and fitness. Is we dat go bun first vs dem. The other countries real hot too so it not dat like dey cyah train at mid-day and come prepared for we.

Wasn't this tactic employed in 89 on the road to Italy?
The young US team was supposed to wilt in the heat.

However, you guys correctly mentioned, there are places in the US that are way hotter than TT. The humidity might not be as high, but they could definitely train and acclimatize themselves before they come to TT.

Deeks · « **Reply #19 on:** February 20, 2009, 04:32:39 PM »

It should not matter. These guys are pros. They should be prepared for any conditions. If the Euro players for TT come home for about 5 days at least and train in the hot sun it would not be a factor. But if the come 2 and 3 days before the match, crapaud smoke they pipe.

Babalawo · « **Reply #20 on:** February 20, 2009, 05:08:29 PM »

Any advantage should work. Thats the only reason USA dont play their games in major metro cities because less Trini's and American fans would be in that stands.

Remember the 2-0 loss to the USA in the Oval? We play what 1-2pm and we was struggling more than the USA players.

pardners · « **Reply #29 on:** February 20, 2009, 10:49:47 PM »

Ent most times they does set the game times after consulting with the tv rights people. I don't know if 12 noon is prime time for sports or not, but Jack would certainly want to capitalize on the tv rights. We start games 6 pm recently and the last game against Cuba was an unprecedented 9pm. But ah really believe it wont make a difference to the US team.

Poll

Should we use this to our home advantage.
