Canada dominates T&T in 2-0 win.
By Inshan Mohammed.


A pair of second half goals gave Canada a 2-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in a friendly encounter at the Central Broward Regional Complex in Fort Lauderdale, USA on Wednesday.

Under Trinidadian-born head coach Stephen Hart- the Canadians dominated the entire game especially in the second half.

The only live-wire for the Soca Warriors' were Lester Peltier who made some penetrating runs at the Canadians in the first half. However, T&T allowed Canada to come at them and eventually the pressure paid off for the Canucks'.

Both teams went into the dressing room deadlock, but Canada was the one who came out a different team in the second half and took it to the Warriors.

Tosaint Ricketts open his account in the 58th minute when he met a cross from substitute Marcel De Jong, the striker buried it in the top right corner leaving T&T goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams with no chance.

Canada continued to press as T&T were pined in their own half with nothing going for them, then 4 minutes from time a T&T defender handled the ball in the box and Canada was awarded a penalty.

Will Johnson stepped up and made no mistake from the resulting spot-kick despite Williams getting a hand to it.

By then the game was out of T&T's reach and with 6 minutes plus injury time left on the clock Canada sailed comfortably to it's first ever victory for Stephen Hart over his homeland at senior level since he took over as Canada's head coach.

Hart's international coaching record improves to 18 wins, 10 draws and 13 losses in 41 matches. In six matches in the state of Florida, he has four wins, one draw and one loss.

Under Stephen Hart however, T&T has defeated Canada at the Under 17 level. In 2007 in route to South Korea T&T were victorious over the Canadians 2-1 in a CONCACAF Final round qualifier at the National Stadium, Kingston.

Then at the Under 20 level in a CONCACAF Men's Under-20 Championship qualifier in Trinidad. Sean De Silva's goal was enough to seal a 1-0 win over Canada. Stephen Hart, at the time was the Canadian Soccer Association Technical Director.

Canada meanwhile, from its victory should get a bit of positive momentum heading into its next match, a Sept. 7 meeting with Panama in World Cup qualifying action.

T&T on the other hand is preparing for the 2012 Caribbean Cup and will return home and continue to train as the Soca Warriors is carded to face Puerto Rico at a date to be announced sometime next month.

T&T meantime, has been inactive for 6 months (since February 29th, 2012), also, under interim head coach Hutson Charles- T&T has played a total of three games; they lost 2 and won 1; conceding 5 and, scoring 6 goals in the process.

First half when the both teams played at a slow pace we looked competitive. The Second half Canada played at a faster pace and we were chasing shadows. The defence looked Ok and the midfield passed the ball well but it is in the final third that we lost the way. No one was willing to make a run to goal .

Predictable yes!!!! shame shame to all those responsible for putting us in this mess then dragging we out in public for further humiliation. I think with the  lack of quality players and coaches, the Canada's women team could put a cut arse on we and take the bronze away.

T&T defeated by Canada in Fort Lauderdale friendly.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).


Trinidad and Tobago’s senior men’s team let a decent start go to waste as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Canada in Wednesday’s friendly international at the Central Broward Regional Park in Fort Lauderdale.

The “Soca Warriors” conceded in the 58th minute when Tosaint Ricketts fired home and fell further behind in the 86th minute after  William Johnson converted a penalty.

T&T actually had the better start of the two teams and had Slovak-based striker Lester Peltier capitalized on at least one of his three first half chances, things could have gone better for the former
Caribbean champions.

The Canadians though, coached by T&T-born Stephen Hart would have come away with the necessary boost ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Panama while

T&T will regroup and home to come better for their Digicel Caribbean Cup early phase in September.

On seven minutes, after being sent through by Clyde Leon, Peltier slipped past Doneil Henry and then shot across the goal only to see the ball go inches past the far post with Devorn Jorsling lurking near the six yard box.

Seven minutes later T&T looked good going forward and were rewarded with a free kick on the left of the box which was whipped inside by Kevin Molino but Peltier could not get enough on his header from the six yard and goalkeeper Lars Hirschfield made easy work of it.

Moments later Peltier was at it again but his low shot was stopped by Hirschfield where better direction could have seen T&T into the lead. And just when you thought the ball couldn’t stop following him around the box, the speedy winger upped the pace on a run in from the right side before his dangerous looking cross was intercepted near the goal.

Canada, in the midst of their World Cup campaign, proved to be fitter and more cohesive as the match progressed. They had a good effort denied  by the near upright when Ricketts cut in from the flank and powered his effort off the post in the 35th.

T&T coach Hutson Charles introduced Darryl Roberts at the start of the second half in place of Peltier who felt a strain in his hamstring. Defender Seon Power gave a lot of effort until he was forced to leave the field due to leg cramps in the 77th.

T&T was already two player short after midfielder Hughtun Hector did not suit up after failing to recover from an ankle blow picked up in a league game in Vietnam on the day he left for Miami, while a replacement was not found in time following Khaleem Hyland’s late drop out. Leston Paul had also been ruled out of the trip due to injury recovery.

Canada started better after the interval and deservedly took the lead when Ricketts clinically shot home to Williams’ left in the 58th minute after Marcel De Jong’s ball came across from the left.

T&T legs started tiring by the 70th minute and Canada started to take more control, maintaining the majority of possession and forcing T&T in the half for much of the remaining minutes.

Mitchell’s Vancouver Whitecaps teammate Russell Teibert also kept T&T busy with some darting runs on the left.

Williams did well to save a header but there was nothing he could do to prevent William Johnson’s penalty from going in after substitute  defender Kareem Moses was adjudged by American referee Jair Marrufo to have used his hand to block Johnson’s attempt to find Ricketts from the left.

T&T had two further tries that fail to cause much of a panic for Canada, one being a low effort by Keon Daniel and the final effort coming from Cyrus who tried to curl one home on the far post just before the end.

Charles later admitted he was hoping for a better finish to the match.

“I thought we started well but we withered as the game went on and that was evident because of some of the players not being in full season and still preparing for the star of the Pro League back home,” Charles told TTFF Media.

“But in saying that I was hoping that we would capitalize on the chances that we got and put the pressure on Canada.

But instead they got their goals and the game got easier for them. But we’ve only just come together a couple days before this game and hopefully with a couple more games under our belt, we will get that cohesiveness in time for the Digicel Cup,” he added.

The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

With all things considerd i think 2-0 was not that bad.T&T football in a mess and if Canada can only muster 2 (one being a penalty) T&T really did not do that bad.

All things considered we came out of that match with a little respect,we missed some important players and we haven't had any proper football for some time,2-0 is not bad whenyou think that up to the 86 minute it was 1-0.We again showed that we cant play 90 solid minutes of football maybe our foreign players will help make us a better team.
Jlloyd,Birchall,Hyland,Hector,Samuel,Scotland and there may be others I'm sure,I am happy we weren't battered all things considered.

Well done Jamaica its never easy to beat the Central Americans in their own backyard...uno on track.

He gets praised for his work rate in Philly. And the few games I've watched he was all over the place putting in tackles.
We still playing him on de wing?

What I dont understand.

Lester Peltier was T&T's best player in the first half why did they sub him at the half ?

Why didn't Charles sub Keon instead, he was lifeless.

And Leston Paul for Kevin Molino too.

Technically the game was suppose to be a close door game, to get sanctioning from US soccer
