The win was the third straight for T&T on the Turkey-leg of the warm-up tour after edging the United Arab Emirates (UAE) 2-1 on Thursday and then a 4-0 win over Suril Sports on Sunday, both at the Adora Football Centre. Coach Vranes reduced his 24-man squad to 21 players with three players returning home. The trio who are due back in T&T today are injured striker Trent Lougheed, and the St Ann’s Rangers duo of Nicholas Walker and Jevon Morris.

England-born utility player, Jake Thomson of Southamption will join the team on Sunday morning in Cyprus after playing a club match.

The T&T squad will arrive in Cairo, on September 21, three days before meeting host Egypt in the Fifa Under-20 World Cup opener on September 24. The young Soca Warriors also face Italy (September 28) and Italy, three days later. in their Pool A matches.

Bad news dey with Trent. I understand he's a good striker.

This team scoring goals and winning games, great. I wish I could see these games. All the best to the team.

[g]

I understand having to trim the squad but wow, right on the cusp they send these young men home. They must be absolutely shattered. I hope they could bounce back.

Wish they could have stayed on with the team even though they may not have been in the final squad. Then again i don't know on the fifa stipulations as it relates to these things so i wont rinse out the TTFF in this regard.

Good point g. Good point.

[freakazoid]

so wait nah how this jake fella  jus walk into the squad jus so? Can anyone explain that?

[madness]

d little boy has experience n we need to have a good team

[injunchile]

At this level we need our best players. It matters not where they come from. Secondly it is good for competing for places and thirdly it keep players from the star boy thing- If only we would have benched KJ in this campaign.

[PATRIOT]

so wait nah how this jake fella  jus walk into the squad jus so? Can anyone explain that?

The Coaching staff would have looked at his performances for his club, either live or on tape and decided he could add value to the team... besides which the FINAL 21 man squad is STILL to be named

[weary1969]

Hard luck Trent etal. Learn from d experience and b betta as a result.

[capodetutticapi]

keep it goin fellas,de big dance startin next week.

so wait nah how this jake fella  jus walk into the squad jus so? Can anyone explain that?

Just because he's on the squad doesn't mean he will start, or even play. Even though I hope the coaches will actually evaluate him before playing him, inside I know it's a foregone conclusion.

Btw, I have nothing against the youth. I hope for the good of T&T that he will be an amazing player for the U-20 and (hopefully) Senior team.

[vb]

Those two club sides eh no big dea.

But at least they winning by good margins against modest opposition.

Sorry for those yutes who get cut at the end.
In meh younger days we woulda call dat "pull stones."

[Dumplingdinho]

it hard for de 3 men who get cut but it even worse for de man from de 22 squad members who will get cut when dey select the final 21.

[palos]

Fact of sporting life.  So it go.

[Small Magician aka Wazza]

I cannot believe they send the men home... they should have went to Egypt as extras and still experience the dream... If 3 players pick up injuries now and they hadda pay all that money to bring them back I will laugh at the cheap TTFF...  

Disgusting f**ks

Trent is a work horse.. he will be missed... I going with a 3-6-1 yes cuz Grovi and Juma will pull

[ZANDOLIE]

Vranes made a good move by walking with about 8-9 defenders in Turkey, great exposure for them, but they must be devastated. As for trent lougheed, even worse as he is a real versatile player. I say Clarence woulda be the first cut

U have to be mad, juma is one of the most hungry players out there, he is much better than grovensor

But Grovesnor scoring more goals right now, and he is left footed I believe, my feeling is Vranes reserving him to play left wing.

i would leave out one of the defenders, either david or williams before leaving out grovesnor...what i doh like is grovesnor throwing 10 goals before scoring 1, juma on de other hand will get 4 chances and hit de woodwork on all, den next game he will have 2 chances and score both..he is a very talented player but i think his downfall is his workrate...one of my former coaches said he has everything to be the next stern john (ability to score a lot and be lazy at times).

Vranes said the same thing either after CONCACAF or the Africa/Asia tour...that Juma has great potential but needs to up his workrate. With Gay in the squad hopefully he might be motivated to put in more effort.

Pine is correct. When Vranes say less deserving people on the squad, first thing cross my mind he was talking about Clarence. Still hope he motivated to do better tho, because if Santon and dem mash up Gay is Juma and Grovesnor up to bat.

[Observer]

21 seems like a rather SMALL squad to me.

That is what you are allowed by FIFA. If you take extra players who are not in the squad
how do you control them? They will not want to sleep at the same time as the others, they will want to lime because they not playing, plus yuh have to pay for them to be there. FIFA eh picking up the cost past a certain number.
Best they return to their clubs and play football
