Hope fading for South Africa spot
Published: 22 Jun 2009
Now that the “experts” have had their say about T&T’s 2-1 defeat at the hands of Mexico, I wish to put in my two cents. Firstly, let me say I will be happy if Russell Latapy succeeds as coach. He will need all the magic he has to get T&T to South Africa 2010, given the quality of players he can call on.
Some of these players don’t fit the bill. Marvin Andrews, Dwight Yorke and Kenwyne Jones should be told thank you. Goalkeeper Clayton Ince has redeemed himself, thanks to his body and legs blocking out shots. He is now viewed as the hero of the Mexico match, but I still believe he should be given a “thank you” card. I am deeply disappointed that Kenwyne, with all the English hype, has delivered nothing so far. What a shame.
While I still remain optimistic about South Africa, hope is fading.
One more thing: some Trinis are behaving as though we beat Mexico, having come away with a 1-2 loss. These knuckleheads are calling it a win, when the reality is that we lost the match. You can’t beat a Trini for warped thinking, can you?
