Hope USA win. - USA vs Costa Rica.

[Socapro]

Deserved win for CR... USA didnt show up... early 2 goals proved that... pitch was fast and exhausting(hopefully CR get a lil bun in this game)

#9 the 1st goal scorer is their danger man.... their wingplay is quick as well

allyuh acting like they are Spain... relax..they are home..they are hostile..they are quick ...they use an artificial pitch to their advantage.. USA has a terrible record there..USA had some key defensive injuries...USA had a poor game

They will be nowhere that quick and good on Saturday... we have to be loud and hostile and once our boys up for it  they cannot beat us

we have to attack them so they do not attack us...

In Latas we Trust

that is it attack them so they dont attack us,some of alluh acting like is we going to Costa Rica & play,let them come Tobago & deal with the MAGIC

While in Tobago the MAGIC gets stronger and becomes OBEAH!

That is Shadow's home town after all!

Howard was absolutely horrendous (guess he still pinning from Lampard strike).

Nonsense.

The defenders were at fault for those goals. Not Howard.

2nd goal he went with h is bottom hand, top; hand and he tips it onto the bar or out. On each goal he was caught with bad positioning. He is part of the defense and need to do his part. He was out of it whether you want to admit it or not.

I agree with Zeppo....I don't believe except for maybe the first goal which I believe he "may' have been a tad too far off his line, the other 2 goals he had no chance dude...come on...give jack he jacket and him he jimboots, Howard's defense let him down badly....

[Deeks]

Howard may be the cause of all 3 goal because of bad positioning and some sloppy keeping, but that does not deny the fact that they were outplayed. CR deserve their victory.

[Controversial]

was expecting that from costa rica, however they not winning in tobago, tt must think of playing in mexico, this qualfying as i said from the beginning wont be easy but we going through, our team is better than before, that last US match was a throw away

[Big Magician]

WE BEATING COSTA RICA

[Deeks]

If all the games were between now and before the EPL start, I would say we would have a chance of qualifying. We would have all the guys together. But when the English guys go back is back to the old grind. Who coming back, who injured!!

WE BEATING COSTA RICA.WE BEATING COSTA RICA.WE BEATING COSTA RICA.

what will it take to get a FOOTBALL ONLY STADIUM like that Costa Rica have in trinidad. Something like Jack Warners M.L.stadium but grass and more capacity.  That get the fans great views and spirit into the game while intimidated the visiting team. t and t needs that right now and the future.  them athletic tracks are kill joys and keep the spectator view too far away from the pitch action.  

Costa Rica stadium is not football only. They does use it just like Hasely Crawford.

  Astro-turf is shit and it is the Antichrist of football!

It's not astroturf.

Correct. Astroturf is a whole other beast with a completely different bounce - and you definitely wouldn't see any sane person making slide tackles. What they were playing on is a hybrid most likely, or probably just straight up synthetic grass ... don't know why ESPN commentators were making such a fuss. When the Eagles stadium opened, AC Milan, Celtic and Manchester United were amongst the first teams to use it - and their review and approval was through the roof.

US got outclassed, and it's just a convenient excuse.... nobody says anything when they're playing on a field demarked with American Football lines - of course that is totally acceptable.

     "astro-turf" being the generic term for whatever it is.  It isn't GRASS, growing out of soil, and it's shit, no matter what they call it, hybrid, faux grass, whatever.

Wha allyuh think bout costa rica win over USA.. Good for we?

[capodetutticapi]

after seein CR dismantle usa defense i will say concacaf have a new powerhouse.

[Coop's]

I'm reading some of these views and comments and wonder why the standard of the WC finals has dropped,today teams are depending on the politics in the game to qualify,FIFA has designed these different zones/groups or how ever they want to call them and you find a lot of low quality teams qualifying for WC,imagine teams making one or two points and they in a WC finals.

Why are we hoping this one beat that one etc or the usual what uncle JW can do and not we beat everybody and go to the WC finals as a team worthy of being there,it seems to me like we are satisfied with just going to a WC finals,all the WC finals we have been too so far we got blown away because we try to do just enough to get there,we have not worked out the formula for afterwards.

Don't worry about the US/Mexico and them,we have to worry about ourselves,all those teams know how much points it going to take to get them to qualify and they already know where those points coming from,if they loose a game they are not as worried as us.I don't understand why T&T does not have confidence in themselves,we suppose to be one of the feared teams in this region after just playing in the last WC,we got players with WC experience.

I was just reading yesterday (before the game) that the US had never earned a single point in 6 games in that particular stadium.  7 games now.

I am not saying he is the CAUSE of the goal, but he had bad positioning on alll the goals and even on some other simple plays. You have to be able to depend on your GK to keep you in the game, and he fell flat. That's all I am saying.

In your time...when you played for T&T....how many times did your T&T team beat Mexico?  Or USA?  Or Costa Rica?  Or Honduras?  Or even El Salvador?

How about we make it easier and ask how much times allyuh even beat Haiti?  Or Suriname?  U carryin on like if in your time T&T was some kinda powerhouse team.  Because we play in a WC we supposed to be a feared team?  Well at least we make a WC.  T&T when u was playin fuh T&T ever make a Hex even?

Lawd man Coop's.  Is almost like nutting dese fellas do go be good enough fuh allyuh.

Yuh tink Hull wasn't hopin dat Newcastle lorse to Aston Villa so dat dey coulda stay in de EPL? 

Yuh tink Argentina wasn't hopin dat Nigeria beat Englabnd so dat dey Argentina could go through to de second rounds of WC 2002 instead of England?  Argentina is not a "feared team"?  Dese kinda tings does happen all de time.

Come man Coop's...you better dan dat.

Point well taken...  However, Tim had no chance on the 2nd goal and on the third goal he may have been blinded.

Blessing yuh make some good observations but don't get carried away.  The US is a good team.  They had a bad game that's all.  Also give CR their do, they made the US look bad.

All you really doing is trying to hype up our base and that is ok.  Most of them Central American teams doh play that good away from home anyway, so I know we could beat CR.  The boys just have to bring it and take it to CR.

GO WARRIORS!!

Ok, ah will be a lil more positive....
If we guys play with real heart, blood, sweat and tears, and doh play like how dey play and dem previous games we have a chance. But de moment ah see men standing up and watching ball passing and giving away chances it will be another story.

[nnyman18]

I will have to disagree on the school of thought that Tim was responsible for the goals scored against Costa Rica. I would say that the players in front of him really let him down. The first goal was set up by Beasley poor negative first touch( he was doing this quite often throughout the game) After which poor defending(Torres and Pablo) on top of the 18 resulted in him being exposed. He could not get to a well placed strike to the upper 90. On the second goal the outside mid and the outside back were the victims of well a well time combination play. He  was forced to over compensate to deal with a possible shot and instead the ball was crossed to a wide open costa rican( mind you Beasley had to deal with three men on that side of the field while their attacking mid #8 was jogging back watching the play. The last one I may give you the benefit of the doubt. However, when you have defenders not stepping up (Carlos)inside your 18yard box to put pressure on the ball that is ingredients for disaster. He was beaten for pace but I would say that is one he probably should have gotten to. GK's are encourage to set their feet before a shot is taken. If you look at Tim's feet the were still moving as the ball was about to be struck. So I am wiling to concede on the last goal

[sHOTTA)]

Well as the result stands we haven't seen the US get beaten so badly in a long long time.
