Directos a Trinidad

`La Tropa’ irá a la final del Caribe



POR LUIS SANTIAGO ARCE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   


MÁS DE UNA SEMANA estará fuera de casa `La Tropa Naranja’ en cumplimiento de sus compromisos de turno.

Los Islanders de Puerto Rico, con victorias en sus primeros cuatro partidos oficiales del 2010, viajarán hoy en dos grupos rumbo a Canadá, donde el sábado visitarán al campeón Impact de Montreal como parte del torneo Segunda División de fútbol de Estados Unidos (USSF-2).

De allí el onceno isleño viajará el domingo a Miami, donde pernoctará hasta que salgan el lunes rumbo a Trinidad y Tobago, donde participarán desde el miércoles 5 al domingo 9 de mayo en la ronda final de la eliminatoria de clubes del Caribe (CFU).

Esa etapa también incluirá al Bayamón FC, junto a los coanfitriones Joe Public y San Juan Jabloteh.

"La CFU les requiere a los equipos visitantes viajar dos días antes del torneo.   Por eso nos vamos directo sin volver a Puerto Rico. La disponibilidad de asientos desde San Juan está bastante limitada, pero desde Miami hay más frecuencia de vuelos", dijo ayer la gerente de operaciones de los Islanders, Carmen Vanessa Figueroa.

El conjunto anaranjado irá con toda seguridad a Montreal sin el atacante británico David Foley, quien sigue lastimado de una pierna.

El capitán Noah Delgado, Osei Telesford y Sandy Gbandi ya están recuperados.

Por el contrario, todavía no están disponibles Cody Laurendi, David Horst y el dominicano Jonathan Faña Frías por asuntos técnicos de documentación.

Del viaje al Caribe, además, esperan traer visado en mano al mediocampista trinitense Keon Daniel.

Add another trini to the list of making the jump to the Orange Troops. The last line of that report basically says that the Islanders are expecting to leave Trinidad with Keon Daniel ready to join the club immediate.

Next step up for him would be gettiong into a MLS team.  He has international caps, and world cup qualifying experience, A-league football should be a stepping stone.

If he excels he will make it to MLS, this year we had two players make the jump Dan Gargan to TFC and Arrieta to a starting position in Philly. To bad his not a keeper, Islanders keepers are assured the jump to MLS jaja.

Trinidad direct

'Troop' goes to the end of the Caribbean



BY LUIS ARCE SANTIAGO

--------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
   


MORE THAN ONE WEEK will be away from home `La Tropa Naranja" in implementing their commitments on duty.

The Islanders of Puerto Rico, with victories in their first four games of 2010 officers will travel in two groups today heading to Canada, where the champion will visit Saturday Impact de Montreal as part of Division II football tournament in the United States (USSF-2).

From there the eleventh island travel on Sunday to Miami, where he will spend the night until they leave on Monday bound for Trinidad and Tobago, where they will participate on Wednesday 5 May 9 to Sunday in the final round of Caribbean qualifying club (CFU).

This phase will also include the FC Bayamon, along with co-hosts Joe Public and San Juan Jabloteh.

"The CFU are required to travel two visiting teams days before the tournament. So let us live without returning to Puerto Rico. The availability of seats from San Juan is quite limited, but since Miami is more frequent flights, "said yesterday the operations manager of the Islanders, Carmen Vanessa Figueroa .

The orange go together safely to Montreal without the British striker David Foley, who is injured leg.

The captain Noah Delgado, Sandy Osei Telesford and Gbandi already recovered.

On the contrary, are not yet available Laurendi Cody, David Horst and the Dominican Jonathan Fana Frias for technical issues of documentation.

The trip to the Caribbean, also await visas in hand to bring Trinidadian midfielder Keon Daniel.

Not necessarily, as Intru says ths is a stepping stone. PR Islanders has improved by leaps and bounds in the last three years. Last yr. they outperformed all C'bbn clubs in the Con. Champs Cup.

Everybody in the MLS will be looking at him and basically he can jump to the MLS a lot quicker. I bet you he getting better money too. Good team and more MLS scouts to look at you.

Step down?

Its all about visibility at this level of play, teams there like Jabloteh, JP, and W Con. are at the same level of play as most USSF D2 club, and probably way better than the bottom tier clubs. But no offense to Caledonia fans their teams isnt has big or recognized as does other three clubs I mention or the Islanders. So it come down to player exposure, Keon would get to play under a coach that has been in MLS that has contacts in the league, who's team is for the past three years been able to attract some attention to it internationally, most people in US soccer know who the Islanders are. Who play against two clubs who are joining MLS next year (Portland, Vancouver) and one that may join in 2012 (Montreal), several of the top Islanders players already have gone to this teams on the opportunity they may be brought up with the team to MLS. Las mamies and living in one of the trendiest part of town next to world class beaches does help entice players aswell, I know Kevon Villaroel has already bag himself a nice mamasity :D

Well if he had to go to a USL team, the Islanders are one of the best, though since I am bias to them I hold them as the best team in USL. Plus they are one of the few USL teams that can beat up on MLS teams and and go a few rounds with some of the Mexican clubs. Waiting to see how he performs with the rest of the squad.

Given his recent level of production I would say he's done well to get that far. Now hopefully he can develop that talent and start to realise that potential to take him further.

I admire the Islanders, four years ago they were a joke in the A League and the  C'bbn. About two years ago they started going after foreigners big time, I think at one point there were three or four Trinis at the same time on the team. They stopped being a joke a long time ago. In addition they and Montreal can easilly hold their own with the best in the MLS.

My only question is since going after foreigners whole sale have they developed any talent at home.

At the Professional level OUTSIDE T&T (and in SOME cases INSIDE too), it's NOT only about ABILITY Supporter. ATTITUDE and WORK ETHIC count for a lot, BOTH characteristics Daniel has been criticized for in the past. So Puerto Rico must be the best his agent could do, but as other posters have said, the man will now be playing on a higher profile team and IF he's as good as some say he is, and realises his FULL potential, he'll move on and UP to  a higher level...if not, it's Silvio Spann and Denzil Theobald all over again...men who many experts THOUGHT would go on to GREAT things, but never did.

VB

Clarke style of play has never called for the Hispanic style of play and so the Hispanic presence has dwindled in the past years, under him puerto ricans number about 3-4, same number of trinis in the team, with maybe 1 or 2 in starting positions, this year his playing all four in most games, so there has been pressure dropped on Clarke to increase the present of puerto ricans in the club. I can see him adding more of the younger college player he coached in the PR nat team in upcoming years, when they start graduating.

But on the topic on developing talent by themselves, no the academies on the island are sub-par, including the Islanders, better player usually go to soccer school in the usa and develop there. Clarke was named head of the Academy last year, lets see what comes out of that in the coming years.

Maybe like 15% to 20% of the population follow the sport, its the 4 or 5 most popular sport on the Island, and I would say youth wise I put it in the top 3 being played. Younger generation are following it more than the older ones.

Islanders could draw anywhere between 1,500 to 6,000 at regular season matches, River Plate Ponce avgs anywhere between 500 to 3,000 per match, Sevilla Juncos in the 1k area, Bayamon FC in the mid hundreds(they are viewed as the Islanders B squad), after that the other teams are bearly supported. The local pro league only has 3 teams outside the metro area, and they are the ones that draw better because they dont have to compete with the Islanders.
