We did much better in 2nd half than in the 1st but only 1 shot at goal all game to USA's 15 shots means that USA could score 6 while we could not score any.

Keri Myers made some very nice saves to keep the score down in the 2nd half. Our back line needs to stop ball watching and be more aware of their surrounding players. Too much jumping in as well , jockey and be more patient. I know it is easier said than done and especially playing against the USA ladies where the adrenaline is pumping a thousand miles an hour. When our midfielders have the ball somebody must come and help out everybody cannot book it 100 miles up the pitch. Long ball rarely works.

Give the ladies credit they did not give up , they played with heart and desire. They need to dust themselves off & get ready to play Costa Rica. Good luck on Sunday as you still have sight of the 3rd elusive spot to the World Cup.

Emma Abdul is a Toronto Ontario Canada girl as is Donika Murray. Not sure why all the available foreign based (maybe injured) were not apart of this U-20 however still a good showing versus the almighty USA

U.S. defeats T&T 6-0 to qualify for its seventh straight FIFA Women’s U-20 WC

U.S. defeats T&T 6-0 to qualify for its seventh straight FIFA Women’s U-20 World Cup
CONCACAF.com


The United States continued its streak of qualifying for every FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup on Friday, defeating Trinidad & Tobago 6-0 in the semifinals of the 2014 CONCACAF Women’s Championship at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex.

In addition to earning a trip to Canada 2014, the two-time defending tournament champion advanced to Sunday’s final, where it will meet Mexico.

Trinidad & Tobago still has a hope of progressing to the seventh FIFA event, but it must overcome Costa Rica in the match for third place, also on Sunday.

Stephanie Amack continued her strong play with a convincing performance in the middle of the field.  The Stanford University freshman scored two goals and was involved in much of the Americans’ effective build-up play.  Defensively, she did well to keep the ball in front of her and demonstrated keen positioning when marking.

The U.S. went ahead in the 13th minute with a goal crafted from a combination of precision and composure.  Andi Sullivan delivered a left-sided cross to the far post that Katie Naughton intelligently headed across the face of the goal.  McKenzie Meehan was there to head home from three-yards out.

Savannah Jordan made it 2-0 in the 27th minute, extending her scoring streak to four straight games.  A clever ball from Rachel Hill allowed the University of Florida standout to surge into the box and fire a shot past goalkeeper Keri Myers.

Six minutes later, Amack added to the U.S. advantage.  An attempt from Sullivan hit off Myers’ feet and rebounded to Amack, who found the back of the net from 16-yards out.

The Americans put the game out of reach six minutes before the interval.  Sullivan struck an impeccable free kick from 40 yards that Amack obligingly nodded in at the right post.

Myers prevented the U.S. from increasing its lead eight minutes into the second half, reacting quickly to block Mallory Weber’s effort from 12-yards out off a deft touch pass from Amack.

Meehan completed her brace in the 65th minute, following another well-worked sequence.  Weber sent a cross from the right that found the head of Summer Green, who headed on for Meehan.  The Boston College forward completed the play by converting with a header of her own from the edge of the six-yard box.  She is now level with Mexico’s Tanya Samarzich with a tournament-best six goals.

Weber stamped the final scoreline with four minutes left in normal time, hammering in Meehan’s re-direction off a short right-sided cross from Margaret Purce.

The U.S. extended its tournament-record winning streak to 14 games.

There you go people. 6 - 0. A true representation of how far off the spectrum our women's football really is. Destruction, as I predicted. Don't get your hopes up for the third place game either. Stop praying for miracles. If you fail to prepare....y'all know the rest. Hopefully the TTFA will continue to improve the way they do things so all our teams will improve in years to come.

You're being incredibly negative, in foorball anything can happen, and a good day for us and a bad day for them is all we need. It didnt take rocket science to predict a big loss - the US womens team is the brazil of womens soccer, supported excellently for decades whilst T&T's programme is still young.

Whenever I watch us play the US or Canada it's like I'm watching a re-run of the match we played last year or the year before that or the year before that....the time and dates change, the kits and scenery  change but the performance and result stay the same...something wrong. :-\

You're right to pull me up - I misspoke - I meant to say the programme is less 'mature' than other countries in terms of attention and resources put in it.

U.S. U-20 WNT Qualifies for 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup with 6-0 Win Against Trinidad & Tobago
ussoccer.com


The U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team simultaneously booked its place in the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup and in the 2014 CONCACAF Women’s U-20 Championship Final after claiming a 6-0 win semifinal victory against Trinidad & Tobago at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex.

The USA will go for its third straight CONCACAF Women’s U-20 Championship title when it plays Mexico on Sunday, Jan. 19, at 7 p.m. ET. As finalists, both the USA and Mexico have qualified for this summer’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Canada. Earlier on Sunday, Costa Rica, a 3-1 loser to Mexico in the other semifinal, and Trinidad & Tobago will play for third place and the final World Cup spot out of the CONCACAF region. Both matches will be broadcast live on FOX Soccer Plus and FOX Soccer 2GO. Fans can follow the U.S. U-20 WNT on Twitter @ussoccer_ynt.

The USA has now qualified for its seventh straight FIFA tournament at this age level. The first two were held U-19 tournaments and the next four have been U-20 events.

Against T&T, forward McKenzie Meehan put in another strong performance, scoring two goals to take her total tournament tally to six, tying her for the lead in the Golden Boot race with Mexico’s Tanya Samarzich.

Midfielder Stephanie Amack scored twice in a seven-minute span in the first half, both off assists from right back Andi Sullivan, who is the youngest player on the roster, while forwards Savannah Jordan and Mallory Weber also goals. Jordan has now scored a goal in all four matches so far.

Goalkeeper Katelyn Rowland, who wore the captain’s armband, secured her third clean sheet of the tournament with the help of a well-organized back line that included Sullivan, center-backs Cari Roccaro and Katie Naughton and left back Laura Liedle.

The USA wasted no time carving out the first scoring opportunity of the match in just the second minute when a superb passing sequence led to a stinging cross from Sullivan that was headed narrowly over the bar by Jordan. From that point, only numerous offside calls prevented the Americans from causing more damage in the first half, as its crisp possession and movement helped create consistent scoring chances.

The breakthrough came in the 13th minute when Sullivan lofted a long free kick from the left side to the back left post for Naughton, who sent a perfectly headed pass back across goal to an unmarked Meehan. The Boston College striker placed a tidy header into the back of the net and the Americans were off and running.

Jordan added the Americans’ second goal in the 27th minute with an excellent bit of skill. She collected a deftly-weighted slip from Rachel Hill at the top of the box, turned away from her defender and slotted a quick shot past on-rushing Trinidad goalkeeper Keri Myers into the lower left corner.

Strong attacking play by Sullivan from the right flank then led to Amack notching the third goal in the 33rd minute. Yet another excellent series of quick passes got Sullivan free and dribbling into the right side of the box. Her shot on goal was kick-saved, but deflected right into the path of Amack at the top of the box. She did not hesitate in first-timing a blast into the roof of the net.

Soon after, the USA won a free kick 40 yards from goal near the left wing. Sullivan lofted a cross to the back post where the 5-foot-10 Amack met the ball in stride to head home her second goal of the game and third of the tournament, giving the Americans a commanding 4-0 lead at the break. Amack now has three goals in the tournament.

The second half began in similar fashion to the first as the USA was denied a quick-fire opening goal. This time, Weber – a halftime replacement for Jordan – saw a shot from point-blank range saved by Myers after USA’s passing unlocked the Trinidad defense once again.

Meehan got her second goal in the 65th minute, also off a header. This time a sweeping move from down the right flank saw Weber whip in a cross to the back post that Summer Green headed the ball back across the goal mouth to a wide open Meehan, who nodded home a flicked header to make it 5-0.

Weber capped things off in the 86th minute, smashing home a lower cross from fellow second-half sub Margaret Purce after it took a deflection off an attempted shot by Meehan. The goal was Weber’s third of the tournament.


Additional Notes:

With her goal against Trinidad & Tobago, Savannah Jordan now has four goals in four games at this year’s CONCACAF Women’s U-20 Championship.
The USA has 10 different goal scorers at this tournament: McKenzie Meehan (6), Jordan (4), Stephanie Amack (3), Lindsey Horan (3), Mallory Weber (3), Brittany Basinger (1), Summer Green (1), Rachel Hill (1), Margaret Purce (1) and Andi Sullivan (1).
Center back Cari Roccaro continued her streak of playing every minute at this tournament and has now played all 360.
The USA was without the services of two forwards. Lindsey Horan was recalled by her professional club team Paris Saint-Germain ahead of their big league match against rival Lyon on Jan. 18 while Makenzy Doniak broke her hand in the first match and returned to the USA to have surgery.
The 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup will be held in four Canadian cities from Aug. 5-24.

 I know some ppl on here are a little upset with the result. USA are defending world champions with women club teams across America with a lot of facilities/ funds to invest into youth development. While Tnt women has made a lot of improvements, we are a small country not much larger than say Cayman Islands, so although the result is not what we wished for, our ambitions to move forward and fight for everything is something to proud for what we have accomplished this year. These girls don't have what USA have, don't deny them your respect and support as well.

Until next time. We will face Costa Rica with no expectations, for me the team has done enough to be atleast respected at this level.
Keep your chin up ladies, you didn't win the game but you showed a lot of heart and determination.

Hinds believes in T&T U-20 women

Hinds believes in T&T U-20 women
CONCACAF.com


It’s been raining for the past couple of days, so not only is it wet, there’s also an unusual chill in the air.  As weird as it may sound, winter has come to the tropical paradise of the Cayman Islands.

Temperatures have been measured as low as the high 60s on Friday.  Natives and visitors, alike, could be seen sporting winter gear, taking no chances with the northern climes.

But as showery as it has been and as cold as it gets at times, the conditions here have neither put a damper nor a freeze on the spirit and confidence of the players participating in the CONCACAF Women’s Under-20 Championship.

For in the midst of it all, the young women’s burning passion for success drives them on.

And in a striking example of this, one Trinidad & Tobago player clings to a belief that World Cup glory could be on the horizon for her team even it fell to the United States 6-0 in Friday’s semifinals.

“Definitely we think this is something we can do (qualify for the World Cup) and, of course, we are working hard that we can do it,” Liana Hinds, the team’s impressive right-back, said after the semifinal setback.  “No one has doubts that this is something that we can achieve as we are all positive about it.”

Trinidad is attempting to do what no other Caribbean women’s side has done before --- qualify for a FIFA World Cup.

On Sunday, the Soca Princesses can still book their ticket to Canada 2014 by overcoming Costa Rica in the match for third place on Sunday.  Later that day, Mexico, which defeated Costa Rica 3-1 in the first semifinal, will battle against the U.S. for the CONCACAF crown.

For Hinds, whatever the end result, the competition has been a wonderful ride.

“I am enjoying it a lot as it is fun and exciting to be back playing with the team,” Hinds expressed.  “I think we have been doing really well as we defeated Honduras and Cayman and I think we have been doing what the coach has asked us to do.

“So whatever happens, it was just a great experience overall.”

The 18-year-old is familiar with the taste of World Cup football, representing Trinidad at the 2010 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, when the twin-island republic hosted the event.  She was the squad’s top scorer, scoring two of its three goals – one in a 2-1 loss to Nigeria and another in a 2-1 win over Chile.

The University of Connecticut (UConn) sophomore, who is majoring in molecular and cell biology, tells CONCACAF.com that a professional career is a tempting option as she looks ahead.

“I intend to go professional and to continue playing internationally as well,” she enthused.

At UConn, Hinds -- born in the United States to Trinidadian parents -- saw action in 14 games during her freshman campaign in 2012.  This past season, she appeared in each of the Huskies’ 20 matches, cementing a place in the line-up as a defender.

In Friday’s game against the U.S., Hinds matched strides with UConn teammate Rachel Hill.

There you go people. 6 - 0. A true representation of how far off the spectrum our women's football really is. Destruction, as I predicted. Don't get your hopes up for the third place game either. Stop praying for miracles. If you fail to prepare....y'all know the rest. Hopefully the TTFA will continue to improve the way they do things so all our teams will improve in years to come.

You're being incredibly negative, in foorball anything can happen, and a good day for us and a bad day for them is all we need. It didnt take rocket science to predict a big loss - the US womens team is the brazil of womens soccer, supported excellently for decades whilst T&T's programme is still young. Reacting like its the end of thr world is a bit too much I think

What do you mean by that?

You're right to pull me up - I misspoke - I meant to say the programme is less 'mature' than other countries in terms of attention and resources put in it.
Perhaps you didn't read my earlier comment before this one, where I explained that the Americans have put tremendous resources, time, training and consistent effort into making a potent national outfit. Bottom line is, they take their football seriously, while we always throwing "something" against the wall and hoping it stick. We've got to stop this "hope for the best" formula in our approach to sport. I support the team and wish them well. I'm not being NEGATIVE. I'm saying let's create better teams and players by doing things early, properly and consistently, so we won't be praying for a stupid miracle every-time we're in a tournament.
Only the humble can be truly great!

No problem with your second phrasing here, but your original post could be summed up by saying "don't bother supporting the team, we're not prepared, they were crap just as I predicted", none of which really shows much support or positivity :(. We can look to that in the future, right now we have a game against Costa Rica, and we should be praying for miracles if we think we need them - I don't personally, so I'm hoping we can approach the game professionally and on the day turn up with all guns blazing and catch them.

Thanks Tallman, but I thought Anigue was one of the last cuts from that team.
