According to some sources around the time of the last one (Dec. 2010) it was supposed to be held in Antigua.  I talked to some of Montserrat's players though and they said it was to be in Jamaica.  So basically no one knows yet...however it is supposed to be held in June of this year.

According to Wikipedia, T&T will be in a group with Saint Kitts, Anguilla, and Saint Martin in the first round

It is Wikipedia but I believe this to be accurate as much of the info is consistent with many different sources I have heard from.

Since the football done, any idea on when the degicel cup starts?

Thanx Eman.        positive.

[just cool]

Now this is what i talking bout. this lying man watson said that there will be a game every fifa date, now about 4 dates went by and we only played 2 games, finland and ATB with a all local squad. 

i done know what the out come will be, another missed gold cup! bc we eh beating non ah dem big team, cuba , grenada, jamaica, ATB, guadelope, guyana , haiti or burmuda if we not playing regular with ah good coach, system and regular playing time to form cohesion, boy!   football in T&T real ded oui!!! 

could never understand how ppl down there who's in charge could be soooo complaisant after they've seen the out come is the same every time they half step.  stuepssssssss!

[Football supporter]

Tony Harford said on the radio something about some friendly games being lined up. I seem to recall he said one would be Greece, but I can't be positive. He said he was working on sponsors to cover the costs. But obviously, it easier to say than do.

These men are sooooooo backward it's ah shame, so we will play greece, ah top european team with an untested local coach ( hutson charles). all these teams are out there playing regular football and we don't even have a good coach, let alone a team.

[Andre]

i hope we could make it to the finals.

[kaliman2006]

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

And in the spirit of the this saying, the pride in Trinidad and Tobago football has taken a beating before the ultimate fall.

But maybe we like it so.

The operative word here is fallen, and i don't believe that to be the case, i think we remained the same while others up their game. 

just the other day football was ded in cuba, now it was resurrected, same for peurto rico and dominican republic, and just now them will pass we like ah full bus! that's bc we have never raised our game, and had it not been for the foreign based players we would never have reached as far as we did over the yrs, they were saving us from a lot of embarrassment

i believe the only hope for us is to protest against this administration heavy!! write letters to the ministry of sports, FIFA and all the rest, but this thing must be stopped. we should try our best to change the constitution of football here in trinbago and implement fair elections so this thing would never happen again.

but make no mistake, in order for football to grow in T&T, these old greedy men must be removed and the football constitution amended.

No, they didn't have to cheat to win 16-0.

I feel that FIFA should have teams like Monserat, Anguila, British Virgin Island, US Birgin Island compete in the same group to guarantee two of them to move into the second round, encourage them and reward them for their effort. They can only win against each other. These teams can't compete against any decent teams in the Caribbean..

[just cool]

T&T eh sure to beat st kitts nevis and french guyana nah!! my breddren captain went and saw dat sh!t game where they played and all local team and said that we look like a SSFL team, i can't see dem lil rookie taking us anywhere, we would need ton @ least have all the MLSers and ah few europoean based if we intend to make an impact and get all the way to the gold cup.

Anguilla usually put up a fight in the Caribbean Cup and Montserrat put up a fight against Belize.  BVI did beat Anguilla in a friendly a month or two ago as well, though they keep getting killed in all other competitions.  The same used to be true about Aruba -- they were ranked bottom in the world back in 2008 -- and now they can beat teams like Suriname and Curacao.

[theworm2345]

Today:

Group 1:
Bermuda 1 - 2 Puerto Rico
Haiti 7 - 0 Saint Martin

Group 3:
BVI 0 - 4 Suriname
Martinique 5 - 0 Montserrat

I think going down to 10 men on Wednesday was what really killed BVI though the Suriname coach did say he rested some players.

According to the CONCACAF report there were 12,000 there.

I think St Kitts will be very tough in this tournament (at least the first round), they seem to really be preparing and should have a solid squad.

[truehaitian]

T&T can send their U-20 & will still make it out the first round. T&T and St Kitts are automatic qualifiers in this group. This group along Martinique group are the easiest groups of all the Caribbean groups.

[warmonga]

haitian to be honest I been seeing a lot of caribbean team playing and MY team trinidad can collect sum licks from any caribean team now .... football gone to another level in the islands except TNT... Nice support to your team at home I can't remember di last time 12K came out to see a games in TNT... good luck in the cup ...

As for TNT good luck cya help we , to be honest we not good at this time....

Do not count out French Guiana, I think they will provide some fight.

[truehaitian]

You may be right. French Guyna invites Haiti for a game tomorrow to get ready for Trinidad. The friendly game is scheduled to take place this Sunday in Guyana. The Haitian national team is already over there. We sent a B team not the team who recently  defeated  Bermuda and Puerto Rico. I will post the result of the French Guyana-Haiti Game tomorrow evening.
