Thread for the T&T vs Bermuda Game (07-Oct-11).

[madness]

sounds good.

[frico]

Socapro,let me rephrase what ah really meant in my earlier post.
Any team that we pick to play Bermuda we would at least or at worst be capable of holding on for a draw,on the other hand Bim is going to beat Guyana,that should leave us on top with 2 matches to go.I dont see why you feel that I should be more confident when we catch we arse to win both our matches with all we overseas players.

[E-man]

So what was the plot again??

Not really sure what the problem is, but Philadelphia fans can't seem to figure out what is preventing him from playing for them.

Well Philly said it was a visa problem that needed to be addressed. What plot are they talking about?

[madness]

i don't think the team catch their ass to win the game, but it was poor chemistry among players. I just hope we can look at the team this friday and be able to view the team abilities and talents from this new coach.

Wells: Ideal time to play T&T
By Stephen Wright (Royal Gazette)

Nakhi Wells believes Bermuda couldn’t be playing Trinidad at a better time considering their opponents are missing several of their most influential players for Friday’s must-win World Cup qualifier.

Star striker Kenwyne Jones, Ipswich winger Carlos Edwards and LA Galaxy midfielder Chris Birchall are all absent for the Soca Warriors either through injury or unavailability.

And without their key triumvirate, Wells reckons Trinidad could be slightly vulnerable although he insists Bermuda will still start the game as underdogs.

“We’re in a predicament where a win is mandatory for us,” said the 21-year-old. “I would probably say Trinidad’s key players are missing so this is the best time for us to play them and really show we can handle the pressure.

“But I wouldn’t say just because they are without Kenwyne Jones and Carlos Edwards that it’s not going to be just as hard a game.

“The youngsters who take their place will be striving to take their chance because they will know you often only get one opportunity in football.”

The Bradford City striker acknowledges Bermuda’s hopes of advancing from Group B are hanging by a thread having failed to pick up a point from their opening two qualifiers.

With that in mind, Wells admits they will have little option but to attack Trinidad with anything less than a victory almost certainly signalling the death knell for Bermuda’s qualifying chances.

“We can’t win without scoring so we have to be attack-minded. But Trinidad will also be looking for goals because they are behind Guyana on goal difference and that could be crucial in terms of the qualifying picture.”

Wells has made just one appearance for Bradford since returning to the League Two side from international duty last month.

And he concedes Bermuda’s qualifying campaign couldn’t have come at a worst possible time for him in terms of trying to break into the Bantams first team.

“I need to get some minutes under my belt because I’ve hardly played for Bradford recently,” said Wells.

“Decision wise, it’s been difficult because it’s a hard predicament to be in when you’re on the verge of the first team. But you want to represent your country at the same time and do what’s best for yourself which is playing football.

“I wouldn’t say I made a bad choice but I would say things have fallen in the wrong path for me at the club. However, I still have a good six months still on my contract and hopefully I can settle in that time. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just look to get some time somewhere else.”

The former Dandy Town man believes a strong performance against Trinidad would give him renewed confidence that he can force his way into the Bradford first team.

“The last time I went back I felt good as I got some good minutes under my belt so I’m sure I’ll go back feeling the same way this time around,” he said.

“It was big boost for me to score against Barnet and I believe football is 80 percent confidence.

“As a striker you need goals as they make you feel on top of the world. If I do score a goal or two against Trinidad it will do me the world of good.”

TV?  ah know i asking for plenty

[injunchile]

Wells really ambitious. The man benching and talking about picking up one or two goals against T&T.
 Well Friday will be the end of Bermuda's campaign and he can concentrate on Club football

A defensive coach at last I have hoped for such like coach taking TT and finally we have Otto Pfister,teach them how to defend something we always seem to be bad at its always been our weak point.

[grskywalker]

Dread we still have defensive issues, we ain't get stiff competition yet

True that we haven't met up with the big boys yet but when yuh look back at our losses for 2010 it was all defensive blunders,ah feel the man putting a lil extra defensive culture in the boys and that could be crucial.Remember we didn't do too badly against all ah dem big boys,it jess ah blunder here and there,ah feel he go fix it in time,we have nuff practice to get it right.Regards.

[just cool]

Yeh, but @ least the ball is rolling and the problem is being addressed. i think instead of lookin back we should be looking straight ahead with optimism.

 last time i felt that way was june of 2006 and i don't want this feeling to end, sometimes i feel like ah dreamin bc finally we have ah sane coach and all our best players in the fold, so lewwe hold ah positive vibe, shall we.

The situation is confusing for the following reasons:

-His disappearance just kind of happened.
-The Union have been completely quiet about it besides refuting a report that was written on the Brotherly Game.
-TTFF reported that he may have Dengue Fever, then never said he didn't have it.
-Daniel is due to play tomorrow without any indication of what his illness was, is or anything of that nature.
-He has neither been inside of the United States, nor played for the Union since either August 28 or 29, without any explanation beyond "visa problems."
-This was most likely completely preventable.

It's a big mystery here in Philly why one of the players that was emerging this season all of a sudden is gone without a proper reason. The team and Daniel should have known about the situation and preventing it from happening in the first place. It's my feeling that the team muddled something, considering they took days to report 'officially' that Daniel had been called up to international duty. Plus the team has a history of players having problems with international duty and re-entry/visas (Cristian Arrieta).

This situation with Daniel has become a saga in Philly. He would most likely be starting at LM/LCAM if not for his visa problems, as the Union head into the 2011 MLS playoffs. Instead, he's still in T&T and hasn't done much soccer related since early September.

If dis is Fuentes interviewing these fellas... I'll say well done. Getting these younger guys out into the open gives them a felling of responsibility for the result. Well done again to Fuentes if he is responsible for this.

good team, i presume hector coming in as a sub to cover if hyland or molino don't perform

telesford at right back  i don't think i remember ever seeing him play that position

[injunchile]

Hector or Leon will start before Molino. Adams for Connell . Would not be surprised if Bakr starts  withJames and Powers play the right back.
