Are you suggesting that we make our team of majority diasporans?

At the end of the day, better a domestic B team (or a B squad plus some UB40s) than an A team totally diasporic? All depends on whether one takes a short-term view or long-term view? Like Bitter pointed out, this current US team hasn't exactly moved past the days of Thomas Dooley.

Raith Rovers’ loan star Harry Panayiotou eyeing dream double
By Neil Robertson, The Courier.




Raith Rovers’ on-loan Leicester striker Harry Panayiotou is daring to dream of a delightful double – the Foxes to win the Premier League and the Kirkcaldy side to make it into the promotion play-offs.

Last week was a notable one for the 21-year-old as he helped Ray McKinnon’s side to back-to-back wins over Livingston and Morton and also received another international call-up for St Kitts for the 2016 Caribbean Cup which takes place from the 26th to the 29th of this month.

Before that, Panayiotou, who made his Raith debut at the start of last month at Stark’s Park against Rangers, is now relishing a trip to the home of the same opponents tonight to play in front of what he hopes is the biggest crowd of his career so far.

He said: “It was a great win on Saturday against Morton and brings us one step closer to the play-offs.

“I am just thankful for the victory and hopefully we can keep going.

“I also got my call-up to St Kitts last week. We have Aruba away and Antigua at home.

“They are two big games but we have a good squad and I think we will qualify.

“I love playing for St Kitts – it is the best feeling in the world playing for your country.

Benna Boys match fees to be paid soon, says Derrick
By Neto Baptiste, Antigua Observer


"Footballers will be paid in “short order”.

This is the word from General Secretary of the Antigua & Barbuda Football Association (ABFA) Gordon Derrick, who added that a new payment agreement is also being finalised and is expected to come on stream shortly.

“Remember I told you it is going to take some time because we are trying to put together a proper document and get back to the players before they get back to us. They have been working on it and everyone is happy and we have time now, so we want to make sure it is in place for sure and operational before the next round,” he said.

“The match fees that were there before, as you know the game (against Grenada) just finished, so we are doing the accounting and we expect to have them paid out in short order,” he added.

Reports had indicated that some senior players refused to turnout for training until the outstanding match fees owed to them were paid by the ABFA.

As a result of their “no show” at training sessions they were replaced in the squad ahead of third round action in the CFU Caribbean Cup Men’s Tournament.

The players, Derrick said, are owed for only four matches.

“There were two games prior (to the latest CFU Caribbean Cup Group A) and there are two games now, so that’s four games total and it’s $150 per game, so you are talking $600 per person and that’s US (United States dollars). It’s not a lot of money in terms of outlay, but it is due to them and they should have it, but it’s just that our cash flow was a bit tied up, so we are trying to free up our cash flow and get things sorted out,” he said.

Antigua & Barbuda advanced to the next round of the Caribbean Cup following a 5-1 trouncing of Grenada at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground on June 7.

The Benna Boys will now be grouped alongside Curacao and Martinique.

I believe we will have home field advantage. The team receiving the bye into the round is supposed to host.

Round 3: Oct. 5-11 (FIFA International Dates)
Fifth-place playoffs: Nov 9-15 (FIFA International Dates)
Final Round: June 22-25, 2017 (FIFA Confederations Cup in process)

The only potential conflict is if we buss in Round 3 and end up in the 5th place playoffs.

Matches, October 5

Jamaica v. Suriname*
Haiti v. French Guiana
Curacao v. Antigua & Barbuda
Trinidad &Tobago v. Dominican Republic

* Jamaica v. Suriname was postponed due to weather concerns. However, not sure why reports have not confirmed the same for Haiti's match. It was said to be under review during the course of the day ... a situation that seems entirely insensitive to travel arrangements.

Martinique just beat Dominican Republic 2-1. The Dominicans tied it late in the second half. Martinique pushed and scored in the 84' minute.

Guyana gave up a 1 goal lead in the 57' minute to Suriname. After 90 minutes the score was tied 1-1. Suriname scored 2 goals in extra time. Guyana 1 - 3 Suriname is the final score.

I have to agree with gawd on pitch Curacao is the team to watch, judging by Martinique result tonite we dont need worry too much, we must not relax though.Curacao beating Ant and Bar 3 nil, that is a big defeat, they have been improving steadily, they will challenge the best in the Caribbean.

Indeed Frico. What even gives them more strength is the base they set up to train the Curacao descendents in Netherlands. In other words,  they can get away with not having to gather the team in Curacao. I believe they have about 18 or so players based in the Netherlands.

Watch how much internationals they get before the Gold cup. With a base in Netherlands, there is no need to travel abroad for friendlies against good competition.

Some FYI, Kluivert is no longer the coach of Curacao..

They have improved recently. I think they actually beat us recently in an unofficial friendly. Watched the game they payed against DR earlier in cc qualifying. Still think we have more quality. Should beat them but would be no walk in the park.

St. Kitts Nevis lost yesterday for the first time in a year (I think this was the 7th outing). French Guiana 1 SKN 0.

SKN can still top the group.

Nonetheless, there is an issue for CFU to address because SKN did not receive a field on which to train, despite French Guiana's acknowledgement of that responsibility. Not good enough!
