1. How many journalists were in that room? Not many. Not good.

2. What's Anique Walker's status with respect to participating in this qualification effort? Mariah Shade?

3. A bit of rust and lack of sharpness is evident. Looking forward to seeing those issues addressed. Despite that, it's also evident that there is a common understanding in attacking movements and that is promising ... although against better versed opponents the quality of passing will have to be even more refined.

4. A good barometer of "things" is Fuentes' engagement with the press conference, even when he is silent (body language etc.) ... I am finding myself enthusiastic to hear what Stephan DeDour has to say. Nice vibe coming through.

5. It would have been insightful to hear who the coach's specific foreign targets are for inclusion.

Congrats to the team!

Not sure what's going with Anique. I understand that in the past she was disillusioned with the program. Don't know if it's still the case.

Mariah Shade is recovering from surgery for a chronic tailbone/coccyx fracture.

Her participation at club level encouraged me to think that she's feeling it again. She offered a lot to the NT in the prior cycle and it would be "ah niceness" if she has the desire to bring us joy again.

T&T women slip up in Olympic qualifiers.
By Rachael Thompson-King (Guardian).


T&T’s women’s team suf­fered their first loss in the CON­CA­CAF Women’s Olympic Qual­i­fiers on Sun­day, falling to a 4-1 de­feat to St Kitts and Nevis in their Group A match at the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um in Bal­main, Cou­va.

The vis­i­tors got the win by putting on a good of­fen­sive ef­fort while suf­fo­cat­ing the at­tack of the host team, who en­tered the third-round match un­beat­en af­ter up­stag­ing Aru­ba 3-0 in their open­er be­fore com­fort­ably de­feat­ing An­tigua and Bar­bu­da 5-0.

The Karyn Forbes-led T&T team could not re­strain Phoeni­tia Browne, who net­ted a hat-trick in the one-sided af­fair to see St Kitts and Nevis move in­to the top spot on the five-team ta­ble the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic, both teams on sev­en points each but with St Kitts and Nevis hav­ing a bet­ter goal dif­fer­ence. T&T dropped to the third spot, stay­ing on six points from three match­es.

The vis­it­ing team, who were com­ing off a 6-1 whip­ping of Aru­ba on Fri­day af­ter be­ing held by the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic to a goal­less draw last Mon­day, got on the score­board in just the sixth minute thanks to El­lie Stokes.

The lead dou­bled in the 13th minute af­ter Browne con­nect­ed from the penal­ty spot. She re­turned ten min­utes lat­er to put her team fur­ther ahead 3-0 and they held on to that ad­van­tage at the end of the first half.

On the re­sump­tion, Den­necia Prince man­aged to pull one back in the 59th for T&T. She hoped this would ig­nite the na­tion­al team’s come­back but it nev­er ma­te­ri­alised.

The fi­nal goal of the evening came in the 84th from Browne, who beat T&T keep­er Kimi­ka Forbes, who had shut-out per­for­mances in T&T’s pre­vi­ous two match­es, to com­plete a good day.

In the open­ing match of the dou­ble-head­er yes­ter­day, An­tigua and Bar­bu­da earned a hard-fought 2-1 win over Aru­ba.

Ac­tion in the qual­i­fy­ing tour­na­ment con­tin­ues to­mor­row, with T&T tak­ing on the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic at 5 pm, fol­low­ing the match-up be­tween St Kitts and Nevis and An­tigua and Bar­bu­da from 2.30 pm.

St. Kitts was the match to win to put the tournament to bed. Phoenitia Browne was the same player who scored against T&T last year at the same venue. The Kittitians didn't lose that match either. This was the first true test of the tournament.

This result was not unexpected. One could have seen from the first game vs Aruba (highlights only) that this TT team did not have what it takes to compete on the international stage.

Not only losing but being dominated 4-1 to St Kitts, no one should be surprised this has been the usual type of results in men and women football these last couple years. T&T football is now in a new phase and allyuh should get used to it..this is the consequence of electing DJW as head of football as bad choices from the top lead to poor football system then poor football on the field

Probably cause she'd have to sacrifice her job status in order to train consistently with the national team.
Also, because of the uneven foundation of the TTFA towards women's football isn't attractive to her I believe.

It's a lot to give up for the sake of the sport given there's no respect given to the women's programme for way too long

Soca Princesses must win vs DR.
By Rachael Thompson-King (Guardian).


Com­ing off its first loss in the CON­CA­CAF Women’s Olympic Qual­i­fiers on Sun­day, T&T women's foot­ballers will look to bounce back against a tough op­po­nent in the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic on Tues­day at the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um in Bal­main, Cou­va from 5 pm.

It will not be an easy task against the on­ly oth­er un­beat­en team in Group A but the Stephen De Four-coached na­tion­al team has no plans to give up with­out a fight.

"We are go­ing to come out our hard­est and fight them. We are not go­ing to go there and lay down, we are go­ing to fin­ish the tour­na­ment strong," said De Four in the post-match con­fer­ence fol­low­ing T&T's 4-1 de­feat to St Kitts and Nevis on Sun­day at the Cou­va venue.

"It's not the re­sult we want­ed. We start­ed the game very slow. We got caught with some easy goals at the be­gin­ning of the game. When you go three goals down quick­ly, it's very dif­fi­cult to get out of it."

The na­tion­al team went down three goals in the first half. The sec­ond half saw a much im­proved de­fen­sive play from the host team, who was able to pull a goal back thanks to Den­ni­cia Prince but lead­ing play­er for St Kitts and Nevis, Phoeni­tia Browne sealed the deal with her third item of the match. The oth­er goal was scored by El­lie Stokes.

"St Kitts played a very good game. The strik­er on top was a very good play­er she held up the ball well. We just did not start as fast as I want­ed them to start at the be­gin­ning of the game and that ba­si­cal­ly cost us the game," said De Four.

"Our sec­ond half was a much bet­ter show­ing. We came out with a lit­tle more en­er­gy which we didn't have in the first half. They took the game to St Kitts in the sec­ond half.

"This is one game one this is foot­ball it hap­pens. We can't stop and we are not go­ing to stop are go­ing to keep this pro­gramme mov­ing."

De Four will be look­ing to his play­ers, who are be­ing led by cap­tain Karyn Forbes, to car­ry-over this lev­el of play in­to their match and ex­e­cute the game-plan this af­ter­noon from the kick-off.

They are all ful­ly aware of the ad­just­ments that must be made so as not to suf­fer a sim­i­lar fate against the pre­vi­ous leader of the group, who slipped to the sec­ond spot on goal-dif­fer­ence four com­pared to the new head of the five-team ta­ble, St Kitts and Nevis' eight. Both teams are on sev­en-points.

T&T, who is cur­rent­ly third place in the stand­ings with six points, is still in with a chance to seal one of three re­gion­al qual­i­fy­ing spots for CON­CA­CAF but there must be an im­prove­ment on both ends of the field.

"I think we have a good re­silient team here, the mix with the se­niors and younger play­ers," said De Four. "We're go­ing to come out and fin­ish the tour­na­ment strong. Nev­er let up!"

De Four promises T&T fight in elimination match
By Joel Bailey (Newsday).


Concacaf Women Olympic Qualifying Championship

STEPHAN DE FOUR, coach of the T&T women football team, promises that his squad will put up a fight against the Dominican Republic today, in their final match of the Concacaf Women Olympic Qualifying Championship Caribbean Zone Group A.

T&T were spanked 4-1 by St Kitts/Nevis, on Sunday, in the latter game of a double-header, at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva. Antigua/Barbuda pipped Aruba 2-1 in the earlier meeting.

St Kitts/Nevis, who lead the group with seven points (and a goal difference of plus-eight) will meet Antigua/Barbuda (fourth placed with three points) in the first of back-to-back games at Couva today, from 2.30 pm, with TT (six points) opposing the Dominican Republic (seven points) from 5 pm.

A St Kitts/Nevis victory will guarantee them top spot in Group A and a place in the 2020 Concacaf Women Olympic Qualifying Championship (venue and dates are yet to be determined).

T&T will have to beat the Dominican Republic and hope that St Kitts/Nevis fail to defeat Antigua/Barbuda in order to finish first in this group.

In Sunday’s match, St Kitts/Nevis broke the deadlock in the sixth minute courtesy Ellie Stokes, who collected a pass from midfield, held off her marker and slotted a right-footed shot to the right of goalkeeper Kimika Forbes.

Centre forward Phoenitia Browne extended the lead in the 13th, with a penalty to the left of Forbes after a handle-ball infringement.

Ten minutes later, Browne netted St Kitts/Nevis’ third, with an opportunistic strike from the left which went in, via the body of Forbes.

Dennesia Prince pulled one back for T&T in the 59th, with a right-footed strike, from the edge of the penalty box, which rebounded off the bar and landed over the goalline.

But Browne ensured that there was no way back for the hosts when she completed her hat-trick in the 84th, after chipping a right-footed effort over the advancing Forbes.

Looking ahead to today’s match against the Dominican Republic, De Four said, “We’re going to come out and fight it. We’re not going to just lay down.”

During the post-game media conference on Sunday, De Four said, “We have a good resilient group. I told them we’re finishing the tournament strong.”

Asked what will be next for the team if they fail to progress today, De Four responded, “This is a building phase for us. We just have to keep getting players involved, get more games and keep the players together.”

De Four lamented the lack of intensity by the T&T team during the early stages of Sunday’s match.

“It’s not the result we wanted,” said De Four, who was appointed T&T women coach in June. “We started the game very slow.

“It’s a team that’s rebuilding so we’re trying to give every player a chance to play,” he added. “We have a lot of youngsters in the team, mixed with senior players. We got caught with some easy goals in the beginning and, to go three goals down that easily, it’s very difficult to get out of it.”

T&T defeated Aruba in their first match 3-0 last Monday and Antigua/Barbuda 5-0 on Wednesday.

Deborah Baclawski, the St Kitts/Nevis coach, commented, “I’m very proud of the team for their discipline. We knew that T&T would be a tough opponent. We watched their first two games and we knew that they would bring everything to us. I’m proud of our team for their organisation and perseverance.”

Concerning today’s contest against Antigua/Barbuda, Baclawski said, “I have to keep reminding them that they have a game (today). We have to make sure that we remain focused.”

T&T women lose out on Olympic berth.

T&T’s women’s foot­ballers were left heart­bro­ken long be­fore they took the field in what should have been a cru­cial CON­CA­CAF Olympic Qual­i­fi­er against the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic at the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um in Cou­va on Mon­day.

The match end­ed 0-0 but T&T were in­stead left to rue their un­der-par per­for­mance against St Kitts/Nevis on Sun­day, where they were thrashed 4-1, a re­sult which meant they had vir­tu­al­ly sur­ren­dered the lone spot to ad­vance from the group.

With six points head­ing in­to yes­ter­day’s en­counter, T&T skip­per Karyn Forbes and her team­mates need­ed St Kitts and Nevis to be ei­ther lose or be held to a draw against An­tigua and Bar­bu­da yes­ter­day, while T&T them­selves need­ed to win hand­some­ly.

How­ev­er, St Kitts and Nevis women did not co­op­er­ate and put tears in the So­ca Princess­es’ eyes by ham­mer­ing An­tigua and Bar­bu­da 10-0 in the open­ing match-up yes­ter­day. In any event, the T&T women lat­er failed to ho­n­our their part of the re­spon­si­bil­i­ty af­ter be­ing held to a goal­less draw.

St Kitts and Nevis were led by a hat-trick from Cloey Ud­den­berg in the 8th, 21st and 36th minute, as well as dou­ble strikes from Brit­tney Lawrence in the 63rd and 71st min­utes and Phoene­tia Browne in the 38th and 48th.

En­ter­ing the match with a one-point dif­fer­ence on the T&T women, Josan­na Williams quick­ly hand­ed St Kitts and Nevis the ad­van­tage with her item in the fourth minute and lit­er­al­ly opened the flood­gates there­after, as they scored goals at will. The oth­er St Kitts and Nevis goal came from Car­o­line Springer in the 58th.

In their en­counter, T&T cre­at­ed a few at­tempts at goal but could not get the ball in the back of the net.

The re­sult meant St Kitts and Nevis, who had won their first-ever game against a T&T team, won the group with 10 points while the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic fin­ished sec­ond with eight points. T&T se­cured third spot with sev­en points.

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