The 40-man Gold Cup Roster is out.
TTFA Media.


The 40-man provisional roster selected by head coach Dennis Lawrence for the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup is out today.

Concacaf today revealed the preliminary 40-player rosters submitted by the 16 participating Member Associations for this summer’s Concacaf Gold Cup.

Minnesota midfielder Kevin Molino has been included while Gold Cup Veterans Marvin Phillip, Jan Michael Williams and Carlyle Mitchell, Joevin Jones, Khaleem Hyland and Sheldon Bateau among the rest have also been selected.

A mix of rising star including Christian Pulisic (Chelsea FC/United States), Hirving Lozano (PSV Eindhoven/Mexico) and Alberth Elis (Houston Dynamo/Honduras), together with high-profile veterans such as Keylor Navas (Real Madrid/Costa Rica), Raúl Jimenez (Wolverhampton FC/Mexico) and Michael Bradley (Toronto FC/United States) are among the notable inclusions to the sixteen national team rosters.

In accordance with the Competition Regulations, the submitted rosters will serve as the basis for the final 23-player lists for each team. The final 23-player rosters will be announced by Concacaf the first week of June. After the official announcement, only injury-related changes will be allowed, up until 24 hours before each team’s first match and any injury replacements must come from the preliminary 40-player roster

Team

Goalkeepers:

Adrian Foncette (Police FC), Marvin Phillip (Central FC), Nicklas Frenderup (HB Koge—Denmark), Gregory Ranjitsingh (Orlando City—USA), Jan-Michael Williams (FC Halifax Town—Canada);

Rundell Winchester is head and shoulders above these other strikers. How he didn't get picked is beyond me. Probably he's injured.

He had missed matches due to an eye infection, but there is no indication that particular issue has persisted or would exclude him from playing in June. Incidentally, only one player from RW's club has been included in the Honduras provisional squad and that player is a goalkeeper who may not make the final 23.Although Rundell has had noteworthy success in Honduras, were he Honduran he would not be a straightforward inclusion at their NT level, but he would certainly be among a broad list of considerations especially if they were selecting domestically based players only, but at F Honduras has an array of players involved in superior environments.

I think the stage is set for Marcus Joseph to make a weighty contribution because he is a player that is not necessarily or exclusively dependent on service.

In 2015, we had 5 foreign-based players of 10 forwards/forward-compatible players named in our provisional squad. For this provisional squad, we have 3 foreign-based players out of 5 Fs named but they are other forward-compatible players who are not listed strictly among the forwards. Nonetheless, I think you raise a sound observation based on everything we have seen since March 2017.

In 2015, SH selected both Winchesters, Kenwyne, Glenn, Caesar, Devon Jorsling, Guerra, Peltier, Plaza and Kadeem Corbin to the provisional squad.

At that time, Rundell Winchester was foreign-based and so too were Glenn, Caesar, Peltier and Kenwyne. Shahdon, Plaza, Corbin, Guerra and Jorsling were local-based.

Of the Fs, only Shahdon Winchester, Guerra, Peltier and Plaza are returnees from the 2015 provisional squad. Of these 4, the last three were in the eventual final 23 in 2015.

There is no question that the 2019 configuration of the F line is porous in some way, but I think you don't need a microscope to identify how the sacrificial lambs were sacrificed.

There was a time when we would have presumed that players operating in Central America in a top flight and producing goals there would have been well-placed for NT selection.

Good to see Greg on the list, good job tallest. I don't see how the local players can make the final roster when they have not been playing all year. Not their fault but I believe the players who have been training, competing and performing consistently should be selected. Players should be match fit and sharp for the tournament.

Ten players who need to perform well in the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup
By  Greg Seltzer


It's nearly Gold Cup time again, and that means there are players all over Concacaf feeling pressure to come up big for their respective countries in June and early July.

Some are stars being counted on to produce with the chips down on the regional table. Some are formerly integral pieces looking to re-stamp authority, either in the international game or to regain club form, or both. Some are youngsters or Gold Cup newbies aiming to establish a place in their national team set-up.

Whatever the motivation or challenge, all of them have a chance to enhance their international standing and help their nations to a measure of glory in one fell swoop if they can just enjoy a monster Gold Cup.

F Jozy Altidore (Toronto FC)

There's no getting around it. The US men's national team attack is still trying to find itself in the final third during a time of squad transition. If Altidore can stay fit long enough, he can be a safe bridge between eras and stay in the roster frame. When the Toronto FC striker is on, good things happen for the USMNT (such as in the 2017 Gold Cup semis and final, for example). If he's not available or up to snuff (such as in the 2009, 2011 and 2015 Gold Cups), goals could be much harder to come by when this year's edition reaches the pointy end.

GK Andre Blake (Philadelphia Union)

If Jamaica harbor any hope of reaching their third straight Gold Cup final (or even the semis, for that matter), they will surely need the Philadelphia Union goalkeeper to stand on his head a fair few times. The Reggae Boyz' experienced back line is decent enough, but the attack has not scored against a 2019 tourney entrant in more than 300 minutes. Expect the margin for error to be as thin as the line Blake will defend. He's carried extra weight at this tournament before (he blanked Mexico twice in 2017), and will be widely expected to do it again.

F Tyler Boyd (Ankaragücü)

Sure, why not pile the pressure on the new guy just as he walks in the door? Well... why not? Boyd will want to prove to himself that his FIFA switch was a shrewd move and prove to US fans that he's a reliable answer on the flank for a team trying to figure things out in attack. Though young US wingers have grabbed a few helpers early in 2019, the squad has not gotten a goal from a wide threat in a year and the nearest one prior to that was Jordan Morris' 2017 Gold Cup clincher. The door is wide open for on-loan Ankaragucu survival hero to play instant USMNT ace and slow the revolving door out on the wing at once.

GK Maxime Crepeau (Vancouver Whitecaps FC)

For all intents and purposes, the Canada 'keeper job is currently an open position with several applicants. After several years as an MLS understudy, Crepeau has finally earned an MLS starting role and new employers Vancouver are reaping the dividends. When you exclude the seven penalty kicks (!!) he's picked from his net in 2019, the 25-year-old has conceded just eight goals in 12 league starts with a 82 percent save percentage. If Crepeau keeps that form up through camp and into June, he could begin making the CanMNT No. 1 jersey his own for years to come. Backstopping them to the semis for the first time since 2007 would be a fine start.

F Raul Jimenez (Wolverhampton Wanderers)

In his first big tournament as Mexico manager, it's fair to say that Tata Martino finds himself in a real pickle. He'll enter Gold Cup play with an attack that will, to put it extremely mildly, be missing some key weapons. For various reasons, there will be no Chicharito, no Carlos Vela, no Jesus Manuel Corona, no Diego Lainez and perhaps no Hirving Lozano, as well. If that wasn't enough, he'll also be short midfield engine Hector Herrera, aka the guy who gets the ball to the attackers in good positions.

Suffice to say, that El Tri will need to be economical in the final third. That's where Jimenez comes in. Fresh off a smashing debut Premier League campaign that saw him shine as the dominant offensive force for a Wolverhampton side that booked it's first European berth in 38 years. With Martino eager to succeed fast and Mexican fans pressing for their boys to reclaim the Gold Cup, the heat is on for Jimenez to make everyone forget the absent.

D Aaron Long (New York Red Bulls)

With presumptive left center back starter John Brooks on the mend and off the Gold Cup provisional roster, that starting role is temporarily there for the taking. And if Gregg Berhalter wishes to persist with his hybrid right back-midfielder wrinkle, it's a rather important role. Long (who has been solid or better in four of his five US caps to date) excels at defending in space, an integral part of covering the back when four defenders become three. As such, a big tourney showing from him would go a long way toward a title repeat.

M Kevin Molino (Minnesota United)

If this past weekend's win over Columbus is any indication, the Minnesota United attacker is just starting to regain his soccer juju after 13 months on the recovery shelf. Playing time has been slow to come for a Loons outfit on the right side of .500 early in the MLS season, but the Gold Cup should provide a great chance for Molino to continue rounding into form. His goal-shy Trinidad & Tobago side (302 scoreless minutes heading into a tune-up friendly against Japan) rely heavily on midfield playmakers for offense, so a string of starts would seem like a win-win-win proposition for the veteran and his two teams.

M Jonathan Osorio (Toronto FC)

After more than a decade out in the Concacaf wilderness, Canada are brimming with promise for the future. Most of that optimism centers around wing and strike stables suddenly stocked with exciting young players. What they are not currently blessed with is a prototype No. 10 to get them the ball. So who will that responsibility fall on? The Toronto FC man is more well known for late runner capitalism in front of goal than he is for primary assists. However, Osorio won't need to set the table himself if can keep the the likes of flank final ball artists Jonathan David, Alphonso Davies, Junior Hoilett and Bailou Tabla from starving for service.

F Romell Quioto (Houston Dynamo)

After piling up 13 goals and 15 helpers during his first two seasons in MLS, the Houston winger has started this term as cold as ice. He's lost his Dynamo starting job and his mojo, but Gold Cup should offer the chance to get at least one of them back. Of course, there's also the matter of a rather experienced Honduras side having won just one of their last eight Gold Cup matches. To win their group and (presumably) avoid the US in the quarters, they'll badly need Quioto to help them reverse that slide by helping club and country teammate Alberth Elis drive production.

D Miles Robinson (Atlanta United)

Obviously, there's no great urgency for the 22-year-old Atlanta United defender to barge into the US defense stable and he's probably a dark hose candidate to make the tournament squad. Even so, there's no denying Robinson as been among the best Atlanta performers this season in his first season as a regular. When it comes to seizing opportunities, they say there's no better time than the present. That's especially true when the team's back line top smooth criminal is out injured, overly mobile forwards are soon to be afoot and the boss' tactics seem likely to require the center backs blend defending on the run with safe ball movement out of trouble.

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

we don't create much, can't score if man not creating......we seem to be playing on d counter, but we low block cyah pass or take too long to make decision....we wide players does be static and only move when d ball move in dem direction....so we transitional play is like tryin to swim in laglee..... slow as all f*ck.....we have quick wingers yet we don't seem to properly use d width dem fellas can provide to make space for d other attackers.....I feel if we try to "stretch d pitch" and be more direct in transition with ah aggressive mid press, we will have more joy....we also need to get back ah striker dat can hold up and\or link d play....KJ greatest asset in his latter days was his underrated and largely unnoticed link up play, he had so many uncredited "assists" during those games under Hart

in reality we would be better off without him. We have managed to beat Panama and gave a good account of ourselves against Mexico on both legs without him, we even managed to beat the untied states without him or the other first team defenders.

As far as I can see our team plays with more intensity defensively when we have to make do with fringe players. I say let’s work with what we have and make do, just as long as we have a couple of goal scorers we should be fine. I know Dennis Lawrence is going to shock a lot of the naysayers.

Hodge ruled out of Gold Cup with suspected ACL injury

Hodge ruled out of Gold Cup with suspected ACL injury
TTFA Media


Trinidad and Tobago have lost the services of US-based defender Triston Hodge after the player suffered a suspected torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) while in training with his club Memphis 901 on Tuesday.

Hodge had been selected to the 40-man Gold Cup provisional roster by head coach Dennis Lawrence but has now been ruled out for an undisclosed time. He is scheduled to undergo surgery on June 4th.

Lawrence is already without Norway-based defender Sheldon Bateau while Costa Rican-based defender Aubrey David is awaiting his US visa.

The T&T squad departs for Aichi on Friday evening for an international friendly against Japan on June 5th before facing Canada in Los Angeles on June 10th. T&T’s opening Concacaf Gold Cup encounter is against Panama on June 18th in Minnesota.

Hodge, on loan to Memphis from W Connection has been a regular starter for T&T in its recent friendlies against Iran and Wales.

This is unfolding into a tragedy of sorts. Hodge was the presumptive starter in that position. Of all the lines on the field, DL had his 4 down pat. In a matter of days, no Bateau and no Hodge. I was looking forward to seeing Triston play on the GC stage. He's very technical, comfortable on the ball, could play his way out of difficulty unaided and had the potential to be very expressive with the ball at his feet and JJ in front of him.

I wasn't leaving Judah Garcia home unless ... unless I found another Judah Garcia. Not this rounds.

What did Shahdon Winchester have to do to not make this squad? Where is the clear added value?

Leston Paul you need to step your game up. The too frequent losses of possession, the extra seconds of dwelling on the ball that kill the playing progression and that rarely advance the play. If yuh want ah could put together a highlight video of all the above across recent NT performances, if there's any doubt. Get it together. We need you to sort out your kinks, tick and play with heightened concentration and  be more positive in your pass selection. I don't expect accuracy to improve overnight, but this rounds you have to bring an impact not just a role. There's no rule against you travelling with the ball. You tend to win fouls. It would be great if you could win them in slightly advanced areas of play.

Perhaps the US Embassy should have sent a player of its choice or its preferred GC roster. Tired ah de visa interference.

Lawrence selects Final 23-man Gold Cup roster.
TTFA Media.


Following today’s international friendly with Japan which ended 0-0 in Aichi, Trinidad and Tobago head coach Dennis Lawrence finalised a 23-man roster for the Concacaf Gold Cup 2019.

Lawrence spent the past few weeks working with members at home-based training camp prior to the friendly with Japan and also assessed the overseas-based players in their respective leagues.

For the final selection, Lawrence was forced to go without Costa Rican-based defender Aubrey David, Ross Russell Jr. and Willis Plaza due to the fact that these players were still without US travel visas and he could not risk the possibility of the individuals not obtaining the necessary documents before T&T’s campaign. Sheldon Bateau was not considered due to unavailability while Triston Hodge tore his ACL last week.

Coming into the squad is Minnesota United’s Kevin Molino, Orlando City goalkeeper Greg Ranjitsingh, Seattle Sounders’ Joevin Jones and Energy FC’s Cordell Cato while former national under 17 defender and current Charleston Battery player Leland Archer has earned a maiden call up.

“We’ve got another match against Canada on June 10th after we travel tomorrow to Los Angeles. The main thing for us has been preparing for the Gold Cup. We’ve worked with a few of the players at home over the past few weeks and we had a very good exercise in terms of the match with Japan,” Lawrence said. “Our focus now continues on the Gold Cup.”

Trinidad and Tobago 23-man Gold Cup Squad

Goalkeepers:

Adrian Foncette (Police FC), Marvin Phillip (Central FC), Gregory Ranjitsingh (Orlando City—USA);

Defenders:

Alvin Jones (OKC Energy FC—USA), Leland Archer (Charleston Battery—USA), Daneil Cyrus (Al Orobah—Saudi Arabia), Carlyle Mitchell (La Horquetta Rangers), Curtis Gonzales (Defence Force), Mekeil Williams (Oklahoma City Energy FC—USA);

Kevan George (Charlotte Independence—USA), Neveal Hackshaw (Indy Eleven—USA), Akeem Humphrey (Club Sando), Leston Paul (Memphis 901 FC—USA), Khaleem Hyland (Al Faisaly FC—Saudi Arabia), Duane Muckette (Memphis 901 FC—USA), Cordell Cato (Oklahoma City Energy FC—USA), Levi Garcia (Kiryat Shmona—Israel), Kevin Molino (Minnesota United—USA), Nathan Lewis (Lansing Ignite—USA), Lester Peltier (Al Orobah—Saudi Arabia), Jomal Williams (W Connection), Joevin Jones (Seattle Sounders—USA);

So a 40 man roster to choose from....but only 4 forwards make the cut as compared to 8 from the US

Goal scoring seems to not be on the agenda


In 2015, we had 5 foreign-based players of 10 forwards/forward-compatible players named in our provisional squad. For this provisional squad, we have 3 foreign-based players out of 5 Fs named but they are other forward-compatible players who are not listed strictly among the forwards. Nonetheless, I think you raise a sound observation based on everything we have seen since March 2017.

In 2015, SH selected both Winchesters, Kenwyne, Glenn, Caesar, Devon Jorsling, Guerra, Peltier, Plaza and Kadeem Corbin to the provisional squad.

At that time, Rundell Winchester was foreign-based and so too were Glenn, Caesar, Peltier and Kenwyne. Shahdon, Plaza, Corbin, Guerra and Jorsling were local-based.

Of the Fs, only Shahdon Winchester, Guerra, Peltier and Plaza are returnees from the 2015 provisional squad. Of these 4, the last three were in the eventual final 23 in 2015.

There is no question that the 2019 configuration of the F line is porous in some way, but I think you don't need a microscope to identify how the sacrificial lambs were sacrificed.

There was a time when we would have presumed that players operating in Central America in a top flight and producing goals there would have been well-placed for NT selection.

Again. From a 40 man roster with 4 forwards.......only 1 make the final 23 man cut. And based of the last warm up against Japan that single lone forward still not even certain to play ??? ??? ???

La Pizarra del DT, a South America based football platform, with media and football technicians as functionaries across South America, Central America and Mexico, has published digital magazines in anticipation of the Copa América and the Gold Cup (Copa Oro).

The digital magazines present historical background and tactical analysis of the teams in both tournaments.

Socawarriors.net was approached by La Pizarra's team in Argentina to contribute to the Gold Cup project.

In English "la pizarra" translates as "blackboard" or, these days, a "whiteboard". The name "La Pizarra del DT" refers to the surface on which a coach sketches or presents his or her tactical scheme.

Our modest contribution, and the final product, can be viewed via the link here or directly at this link.

Warriors Assemble in LA for Gold Cup campaign.
TTFA Media.


Trinidad and Tobago’s Senior Men’s team was assembled in full on Friday at Irvine Spectrum Centre in Los Angeles as the squad arrived ahead of the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup following a nine-hour journey from Tokyo following last Wednesday’s 0-0 draw with Japan in Aichi.

US-based players Minnesota United midfielder Kevin Molino, Seattle Sounders’ Joevin Jones, Charleston Battery first time call up Leland Archer, Cordell Cato and Orlando City goalkeeper Greg Ranjitsingh arrived in LA on Thursday night and all took part in the team’s training session on Friday morning at Great Park.

T&T faces Canada in a closed-door match on Monday at 3pm (6pm TT time) as both teams continue their preparations for the Gold Cup. T&T captain Khaleem Hyland spoke about the state of the team less than two weeks ahead of the opening clash with Panama in Minnesota.

“The boys worked their socks off in the last match and although we wanted to do more offensively, I think we had a great effort against Japan. Results like this one away from home gives us hope and positive feedback for the team. Now that game is past us and we have Canada and Panama to look ahead to. It gives us hope going into the Canada game which we have to take very seriously as well to get a good result to take us into the Gold Cup.

“We got stuck late in the game in our previous games before Japan but we were able to come away with a draw this time which shows that we are improving in each match. The coach believes in the quality we have in the team and he showed that he has balls to make changes and try new things like we did against Japan. He gives the squad confidence by making decisions like he has.

“We have to look after ourselves for the next few days. We have to keep our heads on our shoulders, work hard, listen to the instructions and carry out our roles and functions into the Canada Game and the Gold Cup. It’s good to have the full squad together now with Kevin (Molino), Cordell (Cato) and Joevin (Jones) back with us as well as Greg (Ranjitsingh) and young Leland Archer,” Hyland said.

Defender Daneil Cyrus put in a solid shift against Japan and is hoping to be at his best throughout the Gold Cup.

“It wasn’t very surprised with the way we went out there and put in a good showing against Japan. I always believe in this squad and the way the coach prepares us for matches don’t matter how tough the opponent is. What we did was show that we are a determined bunch and this is what it will take for us to get results in the Gold Cup. Personally I felt good out there and hopefully I can stay just as solid and injury free for our entire Gold Cup campaign,” Cyrus added.

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