I forgot to add a big up to Vranes for having the team ready to die for it and playing well...He is so much more colorful on the touchline and better than Maturana....Pacho is just so sour

I was enjoying this victory and you had to mention that man name

Tell him Che

From previous match reports on our warm up matches, I was VERY pleasantly surprised by what I saw tonight! Fellow forumites, I am thoroughly impressed by this Under-20 team. Here's why:-

1. This is the FIRST T&T team since the Strike Squad and Bertille's Under-20 team that I have seen BUILD an attack from the back to forward line...as opposed to the usual BOOM-KICKOUT from the Goal-keeper

2. This is one of the most passionate and die-hard WARRIORS I have seen in a LOOOONG time...in fact, I had some flashbacks of that historic day in Dortmund - June 10th 2006

3. Defenders who CAN pass the ball comfortably and work a proper off-side trap...Canada fell into same numerous occasions

4. Good close control and inter-passing in mid-field, and GREAT off the ball running into space by our forwards

5. Team mantained cohesion for most of the game - shape was basically kept except for a 15 min spell early in the 2nd half and again in the last 10 mins of playing time after we'd scored.

6. Strikers who applied pressure to opposing Goal-keeper and defenders

7. NATURALLY LEFT-footed players - Cyrus and Adams, the latter who in IMHO would do a better job at SENIOR level than A. Edwards

8. Glenroy Samuel was EXCELLENT tonight! Pulled off some much needed saves that kept us in the game when it was STILL 0-0

9. Sean DeSilva - I don't usually single out players but this young man REAL impresed me tonight! His short passing, dribbling and cross-field play were a sight to see! Links up with Leston Paul with an almost telepathic understanding... something like the Yorke/Latas relationship. And THAT free-kick! MAJECTIC!!! My Man of the Match

10. The Coach! I heard a lot of criticsm from various forumites about Zoran Vranes, but from what I saw tonight, he has us playing a nice atacking 3-5-2, VERY compact and organized and while we DO use the LONG-ball, it was done effectively, and you could see the strikers hae been prepared to chest-trap and take on opposing defenders. He was also VERY vocal and

OK, now for the bad news:- WE NEED A FINISHER, does NOT need to be fast, skillfull or particularly tall or big... just be able to put the ball in the back of the net!!! I saw T&T create no fewer than SIX clear-cut chances and conspire to throw them ALL away!!! All the good things I noted abive would have been undone, but not for DeSilva's brilliant free-kick! We could even have conceded had Samuel been less alert.

All in all I remain VERY positive about this bunch! Hopefully we WILL qualify for Egypt, but if NOT, THIS team needs to continue evolving together! LAstly, the team appears VERY together..subbed players hugged one another and there were long pre-match huddles at the beginning of each 1/2... T&T's future is beginning to look a little brighter!

as much as the Loughheed fella miss a couple sitters...ya could see he have it in him
seen him b4..he a good player
jus had a off night
2 POOR misses..but he could ball still

stoppers looked good too..not sure their names
no. 3 and the other fella...
we miss some sitters...one- on ones...but still didnt see much shots on the keeper..
well done to Samuel as well...big big saves...espeically that one in the first half that had him flying to push it over!
but i know he good from b4 but much respect to Paul...lil fella fast and doh give up jed!

we look good...hope it continues

read some comment that this was one of the better sides int he group? dont know how true that is...
just thought the mexicans would be the strongest just from history...

any word...?

Well Well! This is great to hear. Thanks Smalls and PATRIOT. Reports much appreciated. We need to see this game. Somebody who taped it

dcs · « **Reply #137 on:** March 08, 2009, 04:44:26 AM »

Saw from just before half time and what Patriot said is my take as well. Can't remember the last time so many balls forward were won by our forward line....was very impressive. And the clear cut chances he talking about is men running on the keeper one on one for at least 2 of them. Even if they missed some we should have had at least a 2 goal cushion into the 2nd half.
I didn't know who the left back was at the time but I was happy we had someone that looked like they cud move into that position later on at the senior level. De Silva is a little bigger and fights hard...still some ways to go strength wise but he real tough and every once in a while he might make a bad pass across the field. (not just him to be fair but against other teams we might get punish) The keeper is very good as well...very composed and commands the area. All the players have that kind of confidence about them but coming down to the end we got a little ragged and it was starting to feel like the El Salvador game where we were going to drop points when the game shud have been long over but they battle it out.

Thankfully no serious injuries because them fellahs was challenging for everything and get some hard knocks.
It also had our two of our warrior princess teams there supporting. Big plus. The turnout and support was impressive and I liking the atmosphere at Marvin Lee (need more seats!)

On another note...if allyuh walk down to the carpark behind the goal on the highway/south side they giving away free ting. KFC had some kinda spin the wheel something, there was another booth for whoever make Right Guard with some trivia to answer and then u spin another wheel to win hampers...a man win a silky soft something lol
Holiday was giving away nuts and that fruit mix thing they have.
It had another set with a small goal u hadda kick the ball through the goal to win drinks...might have been lucozade or one of the other sport drinks people. Hardly had people there even though the stadium was pack. At halftime I see the mexican team standing up behind the fence watching the game and I looking in the stand but it had no seats available for dem. They might have left or gone to the stands on the main car park side. The pitch is an advantage to us as we definitely comfortable on it but really need larger seating capacity and some parking. It had some Indian expo thing opposite COE and some laugh fest thing in COE or somewhere close so people park as far as the bus route if u had reach late.

I find it very hard to understand why K.Hyland did not come and play for us and also cannot understand why Vranes did not include him.I read that he was excluded bcoz he did not make himself available for training,but he gets enough professional training with a European club.How long would it take him to gel with the team even if he can come 3 or 4 days before the match.I have also read about another player a ...Javed Mohammed,and is not too sure if he is an under 20 but have read some very good reports on him.We are already without our best player who made himself available Jamal Gay,what luck.We need to go to Egypt more than anything in the world coz I feel that we wont get to SA2010,I say this but I hope that I am wrong.This result has left a positive feeling with me and I am sure with all Trinis at home or inforeign ,like me.When we scored it felt like we played another 15 minutes,I held a can of beer in my hand and could not drink it,I'll have a few to-day.Ah going to start packing for my African trip.

Yeah man, I remember when he repped TT in de U-15 tournament he had indicated that CB was/is idol. Well done young warriors, lets take dat to CR tomorrow

On anodder note, is a hard luck w/Jamal, but if Hyland is eligible it's dissapointing that he isn't in the mix, clear up w/more info if someone has it

CIC and won the Intercol

He scored a fantastic Double vs Muco in the semi's... bullets

Looking for highlights...will post them up when i find them

on another note...Hakeem King was the most goals in the North Zone Intercol in 2007 and he is currently away in one of the Carolina Uni's playing ball... he is my real good friend and He is the best finisher that I know (at the U20 Level)

Watch the first 2: 45 in this vid and look at his finish as well as his assist to De Silva
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1UmITY0sK8

EDIT

Found highlights of all our(CIC) goals

Watch Hakeem King's finishing and Sean's bullets...
