Thread for the T&T vs Saudi Arabia Game (9-Sept-2013).

[OutsideMan]

Saudi Arabian fans must be asking themselves right now, "How de Hell do you organize your own tournament...hand-pick the teams you want to play against...and still LOSE both games of said tournament?"   

[FF]

New Zealand have to play the Concacaf 4th place.

I would like to see us play them in the near future... Hopefully we could make them links as we there.

[Banter Banton]

BEAUTIFUL !

tough conditions to pull off a good result... both games were extremely competitive..much needed

Onwards and Upwards !

[frico]

We cyag get away with that shit defending against teams in CONCACAF,we cyah even make 2 or 3 good passes and we cyah keep the ball for 5 seconds,we making some ah the silliest passes that I have seen for sometime.Guerra save we blushes with some magic,in the end records will show we win,we still have plenty to do.I have a feeling the ref was helping the Saudis or teefin,we probably suffered form the heat.The records will show that we win.

pardner we was doing all de right tings in stages... for a long stretch in the second half we look second best.
But that is football, it have times when you have to hold on and soak pressure. We will probably never dominate any team totally ever again, not even Anguilla and dem.

Considering the conditions, they did very well.

[ZANDOLIE]

I'll take the win, but truthfully we were thoroughly outplayed for most of that match. The team was deflated as soon as jones went off and once again we saw that we lack iron in the middle of the park. Theobald has his faults but we can't afford to discard him.

Good improvement from Marcus Joseph, and Radanfah

Agreed, the 25 fans that was there was booing their throats sore. Thought Saudi would have been much tougher to beat, I think they copletely underestimated the quality of their handpicked opponents.

we shouldn't, he is just not a starter if u need to score.......and that is sad......I see dat man consistently dissect Haiti in MannyRamjohn some time ago while doing his defensive duties well....so he definately can be effective...is jus so rare he does do it

[OutsideMan]

Ah still watching de post-game analysis from the Saudi station, and these fellas and dem real breaking down almost every play with top-notch graphics and everything, to the point of obsession.

I eh understand a word they saying, but it's entertaining to watch...lol

Cannot agree with you more. He's is best as a DM but as I have said many times before, there are guys - namely Hyland - who do it better. He is good cover not a starter. A creative MF he is not.

Hart for Chaguanas West!

Nah,he could join JW green party in San Fernando East.

[soccerman]

Didn't get to see the last goal but I'm sure happy we came away with the result

[frico]

That goal by Saudi was long time coming and was caused by the speed of the Saudi player,Radanfah was slow,slow slow so he stuck his foot a bit too high.TBH Saudi looking good,as good as many teams in CONCACAF,if we win it will prove that we improving,even a draw will be good for us.

they look very good. they have quick passing and decision making, constantly mobile, while we are unable to string more than  three coherent passes up thru midfield. we may be much improved, but our mental game is still played at a glacial pace.

That is very true summing up and we must be honest and objective,we'll be better that way when we own up to our faults,ah so happy bout the win though.

Bleeder need a good psychologist to unlock his fear of the forward pass!

But he only has a few years left. Its imperative that a young strong DM/HM is groomed under his wing. But where are the u-20s and u-17s that supposed to be challenging for his spot? Probably playing intercol. Theobald does not play to his potential, but he takes harsh criticism for what is really a development issue more than anything.

These goals were clinical!!!

[OutsideMan]

Based on this UAE vs New Zealand game, with UAE up 2-0 in the 72nd min, all things considering, I have to say that T&T was the best team in this tournament.  We were one penalty kick conversion from probably winning this thing.

[Bitter]

Based on this UAE - NZ game, Mexico could be saying "4th in the Hex might not be too bad"

[FF]

they ent bound to get 4th

[OutsideMan]

Tru' talk....but UAE and NZ might as well be Germany, because this is a Mexico team that could easily lose against the Cayman Islands or Fiji. 

[Bitter]

I think the switch from Chepo to Tena will make the difference, at the very least, they might be able to get Vela and Ochoa back in the mix, and then duke it out for that 4th place.

[Peong]

Wait when did KSA change keepers?

[D.H.W]
