Trinidad and Tobago targets next six points at CONCACAF Under-20 Women’s Championship
CONCACAF.com

Trinidad & Tobago head coach Jason Spence realized that Canada would prove a difficult opponent for his team, when they met in opening match of the 2015 CONCACAF Under-20 Women’s Championship on Thursday.

After all, the Canadians came in with a perfect 15W-0D-0L all-time record in CU20W group stage play.

In order to limit the North Americans’ scoring chances and the goal difference, Spence set-up his team to defend. Even though the final result, 2-0, was in Canada’s favor, the disappointment quotient was kept to a minimum.

“I think coming off 2-nil certainly showed that we had some good character,” the 44-year-old said. “I told the team that I was quite proud of them and what they showed.”

The tactic also worked from a standings perspective as host Honduras and Jamaica played to a 2-2 draw afterwards, leaving both teams with a single point.

“Now, they (Canada) are out of the way and I can now focus on the next six points that are there to get,” Spence commented.

T&T will next face the Hondurans on Saturday knowing that even a point keeps it in contention heading into the last day of group play. A loss, however, would mean an early elimination.

“Definitely, we have to open up a little bit more offensively,” noted Spence. “We have to go for the win now because it comes down to the last two games of the round. We’re going to take a little more risk.”

In the 2014 CU20W, Trinidad advanced past the group stage for a first-ever time, ultimately falling to Costa Rica in the third place match. Along the way, it defeated Honduras, 2-0.

Spence has reviewed that game as part of his scouting approach for the Catrachas.

“We have been consistently doing our homework,” he finished. “Definitely, we’ll be approaching the game from some history.”

This T&T team which barely made it from the Caribbean phase was well beaten in the CONCACAF round. Definitely not ready. If we moving forward as a nation serious about our football we must evaluate the shortcomings of this team and why they were not prepared so we do not make the same mistakes in the future.

Very unfortunate but not surprising sad to say

The prep for this tourney was chaotic
I felt it for the coach n mgmt of this team

Players were unavailable for long periods of time
Be it cause they were with the U17, senior team
Amongst other reasons
And then funding was poor

You heard the coach talk of it

The goalkeeper tho is a solid one though

Honduras U-20 Women tops Trinidad and Tobago, remains unbeaten
CONCACAF.com

Honduras (1W-1D-0L, 4 points) scored a goal in each half and inched closer to a place in the 2015 CONCACAF Under-20 Women’s Championship semifinals with a 2-0 win over Trinidad & Tobago (0W-0D-2L, 0 points) on Sunday at the Escuela Internacional Sampedrana.

The result gave the Hondurans sole possession of second place in Group B, putting them two points behind Canada, which posted a 7-0 victory over Jamaica earlier in the day to clinch a semifinal spot. T&T was eliminated from contention with two losses in as many outings.

A fine individual effort by Fatima Romero gave the host a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute. The 16-year-old midfielder received a pass from Jinan Abdalah outside the box, pushed the ball past a defender and beat another before a cool right-footed finish from eight-yards out.

Similar to what it did in a 2-0 loss to Canada on Thursday, T&T worked its way back into the match in the second half with improved ball movement. As a result, in the 60th minute, Chevonne John drilled a shot from distance that goalkeeper Madelinne Nieto dealt with confidently.

Eight minutes later, though, Elexa Bahr joined Canada’s Taylor Pryce atop the tournament’s scoring chart with her third goal in two games. Once again, it was Abdalah making the key pass. On this occasion, the forward delivered an in-swinging corner kick from the left that Bahr jumped high to head in at the edge of the six-yard box.

Sawsha Woznuk had a chance to halve the deficit in the 80th minute, but her shot from in front of the net was saved by Nieto, who got down quickly.

Honduras can seal a place in the final four on Tuesday with a win or draw against Canada. It can also advance earlier in the day if T&T defeats Jamaica or that game ends in a stalemate.

The Ladies lucky, they still have a full squad to play. The men went Puerto Rico with a depleted side and lost the first game to Vincy. No Olimpic qualifying. TTFA and the manager William Wallace, I think, messed up the team chances. Visa issues. I was really pissed. The boys never had a chance.

U-20 women target positive finish against Jamaica.
T&T Guardian Reports.

With no chance to qualify to the semifinal round of the 2015 Concacaf Under-20 Women’s Championship, T&T Under-20 women Soca Warriors will be hoping to end Group A round-robin play with a win against bitter Caribbean rivals Jamaica today from 11.30am at the Sampedrana International School artificial surface, San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

The Jason Spence-coached T&T team enters today’s match bottom of the four-team group without a point after similar 2-0 defeats to Canada and the host country. Jamaica, meanwhile has one point after a 2-2 draw with Honduras in its opener before suffering a 7-0 loss to the Canadians on Sunday morning.

Commenting on the loss to Honduras, Spence said, “Certainly it’s a tough time whenever we lose. I feel it for my players because they threw everything they had physically and emotionally out on the field in this match.

For us, certainly a lack of proper preparations showed and the mood after the match was one of disappointment but I told the girls we have to lift our heads and be proud of what we did by getting to this stage of the qualifiers with little or no resources.

“We didn’t play badly but in the end goals wins matches and for us going into our final match against Jamaica our drive will remain the same which is to develop and they understand that.

“The girls all know that this is a process and we are still working on getting it right and against Jamaica we again go with the same determination we would for any other match and ensure we apply the right things of course with the aim to win.

Reflecting on the match against Panama, Spence said, “We had to open up and take more risk as we had to go after a win. We gave up a soft goal and had to open up more as we had to chase the game and we pressed a lot without getting the goal.”

“We managed to get in behind Honduras backline a line which was the plan, however we did not take full advantage and scored when we had our chances.

Looking beyond the tournament, Spence said, “Personally and honestly I pray and hope that I can keep the technical staff and this team together along with the recently disbanded Under-17 squad in a program so we can continue preparing for the next upcoming set of tournaments.

Canada which has already qualified for the semifinals faces Honduras from 2.30pm in the final round-robin match in the pool.

Jamaica were on the receiving end of a 0-7 drubbing from Canada so they needed to win big in this game to stand a chance of progressing as they drew with Honduras 2-2 in their first match.

Jamaica has a goal difference of -2 after today's result

Honduras has a goal difference of +2 going into the match against Canada

Jamaica has to hope that Canada beats Honduras by at least 4 clear goals in today's match. Not sure what the tie breaker is.

Jamaica U-20 Women hand Trinidad and Tobago a 6-1 drubbing
CONCACAF.com

Jamaica (1W-1D-1L, 4 points, GD-2) kept alive its hopes of advancing to the 2015 CONCACAF Under-20 Women’s Championship semifinals with an impressive 6-1 win over Trinidad & Tobago (0W-0D-3L, 0 points) on Tuesday at the Escuela Internacional Sampedrana.

Oshay Nelson-Lawes equaled a competition record for most goals scored in a single game with four, while Khadija Shaw and Chanel Hudson-Marks added one each. Tsaianne Leander had the lone marker for Trinidad.

Later, first-place Canada (2W-0D-0L, 6 points) and host Honduras (1W-1D-0L, 4 points, GD+2) will meet in the last Group A game. The Hondurans need only a draw to secure a semifinal place, but a loss – depending on the final result – could open the door for the Jamaicans to progress on a tiebreaker.

Shaw opened the scoring in the eighth minute with her third goal of the tournament, doing well to head Shanhaine Nelson’s right-sided corner kick into the back of the net at an awkward angle from eight-yards out.

Jamaica’s lead was doubled in the 22nd minute, when Shaw played Nelson-Lawes in all alone with a delightful through ball on the ground. The Canada-based forward went one-on-one with Trinidad goalkeeper Rebecca Almandoz and beat her with a low effort.

Nine minutes, later, Leander got Trinidad on the board. After her initial pass towards the middle was blocked, she jumped on the loose ball and first-timed a shot with the outside of her right foot from the edge of the 18-yard box that swerved away from goalkeeper Shanay Ricketts.

Nelson-Lawes struck again in the 34th minute, receiving a pass from Hudson-Marks to enter the right side of the box and place a right-footer into the lower-left corner.

Just seconds into the second half, she registered her third after bursting into the left side of the area and knocking in the rebound of her initial shot that was saved by Almandoz.

In the 56th minute, the busy Almandoz blocked an attempt by Dominique Bond-Flasza, only for the instinctive Hudson-Marks to be positioned in front of the net to tap-in the rebound.

Nelson-Lawes’ record-equaling day was completed with three minutes remaining in normal time as she bounced a header past a scrambling Almandoz off a right-sided cross by Jessica Johnson.
