Let me take a look at how our coach instills confidence by what is quoted from his statement:
Likewise, Eve felt that the match would be very competitive, but possibly also winnable. He dispelled any notion that the USA are very much weakened, having not played all of their best players in the tournament.
“This is going to be a difficult game,” Eve said. So it is winnable but difficult what does this mean? would it be difficult to win?
“I don’t think the USA put out a team to lose. Sop did we put out a team to win or to lose? This team is very competitive. All of the players are playing in good teams in the MLS. The goalkeeper is playing in Europe. So, it not an easy team as some people may make it sound like. What does this mean? by comparison our players are not on par?
“There is a reason America is probably one (or) two in CONCACAF, because they have depth. They can lose some players and still perform at this level,” the T&T coach concluded. So while we may not have depth, we are not able to perform at this level? This coach always seem to be making excues prior to a challenge.
Why not approach this game as a challenge where we could ris to another level " The tide rises all ships' Find some inspiration for the team to consider possibilities if we bring a game like no other? find a way to put it all out on the filed? consider the greatest upset in your life and what that may look like? look at possibilities rather than all the credit to the opposition. Respect each opposition but look within your self to find the possible.
There is no time like now to consider TnT teams of the past who took down giants among minnows. If you keep thinking small, you will get small results. Think beyond and let your dream scare you.
Who doh hear does feel- and some people head harden- dey doh listen dey doh take advice and they does bluff dey way.
Post 2006 I stop getting hopes up fuh this team until I see a bonafide coach- players with the right mindset, physical prowess and a level of fitness suited for a player.
I tune into that game last night and with the exception of Levi Garcia up front man eh tacking or running after ball- hands on hip and playing with no sense of urgency. Imagine at this level a man making a back pass to a goalie and kicking it like a 5 year old!!!!!!!
Eve running around like a wild man shouting at players- when he collect 4 he run on the bench hiding now look at big time coach on display!!!
Real tata
We have raw talent- but why some have the philosophy that ta the national level we simply have to roll that out and get results. As a coach you have to distinguish between coaching and training. Doh fuh get yuh teaching- tactics - the game- skill development- Players always growing as players. If yuh cyar do dat den get out the heat!!!
at the end of the day , my primary teacher would say mangoes is mangoes- yuh take a bunch from an estate full of mango trees line dem up against some from a solitary tree- is still mangoes. Yuh take 11 players put dem on the field is man on man - fur get all the old talk about depth and all that excuse- play the dam game right- bring yuh best level of fitness chase the ball defend attack basic
To imagine I was going to travel to take in this game- I glad I simply went to the latrine and see enough ...........
If yuh cyar handle JAMACIA well-- papa go take ah flying ......
I done
