Soca Princesses look to stay in contention.
By Nigel Simon (Guardian).


T&T’s Soca Princesses will hope to rebound from the disappointment of squandering a 2-0 advantage in a 3-2 loss to Haiti on Thursday, when they come up against favourites Canada in the feature match of a Group A double-header in the 2018 Under-20 Women’s Championship at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva from 6.30pm.

Two hours earlier, Haiti will face Costa Rica, beaten 3-1 by Costa Rica also on the opening match programme.

Going into this evening’s encounter, T&T will be heavy underdogs against a 2015 Concacaf runner-up Canada, joint favourites with USA to claim the confederation title and book two of the three places to France later this year.

Reflecting on Thursday’s defeat after a more than stellar start to the contest, T&T Under-20 women’s coach Jamaal Shabazz was an understandably disappointed coach on Thursday night as his team surrendered a two-goal lead after what he described as “dream star”.

“I think we had a dream start going two goals up but we lost to a more skilful, fitter, more aggressive Haiti team tonight,” Shabazz said in the post-match press conference.

“I think the girls gave an effort and certainly the Haitian team was a lot more aggressive, much stronger and all in all this is reality. I think when they equalised they totally took over the game.

In the second-half we fought a little bit more but it was always going be a tough game against this Haitian team, it was never a walk in the park, it was always an established contest and all in all we’ve got to keep our heads up and come back fighting against Canada,” he said.

On Haiti, hat-trick scorer Nerilia Mondesir and whether T&T failed to deal with her as required on the evening, Shabazz replied, “Well I think the individual received the ball from somewhere, you know, I don’t think any team at this point try to play man to man on any one player. She did well and she is one of the top players in the tournament. Our strikers didn’t do badly as well eh, we saw Laurelle Theodore coming on and being a handful but all in all I thought they came up against a very good striker and it was a learning curve for all the defenders.”

Asked about the confidence level of the his team he said, “I thought we lost a little bit of confidence in terms of coming out very quickly and in terms of dropping deep when the ball was not under pressure in the midfield and by staying high when the ball was not under pressure in the midfield we allowed that space behind our backs and we paid dearly for it. It is something we have got to adjust to in the game to come.”

Asked how his team would correct its mistakes from the first game before facing Canada, Shabazz responded, “We cant make magic in one day, the one day we have is to recover and recuperate for the game against Canada. Certainly, having tasted the level of aggression and urgency in the game I think it will fire our girls to come out even harder against Canada. I think our players are hungry for it, they were very surprised by the speed and aggression of this Haitian team. I mean this was a very skilful, aggressive bunch and we cant take anything away from them and they outplayed us tonight and we cannot take anything away from them. I think our players are honest with themselves and they know we’ve got to come back against Canada and try our best."

Tomorrow in Pool B, Nicaragua faces Mexico from 5pm followed by Jamaica and USA before they close out round-robin play on Tuesday with USA battling Mexico at 4pm, and Nicaragua against Jamaica from 6.30pm.

At the end of the round-robin series, the top two teams will advance to the semifinals ahead of the final and third place playoffs.

Both semifinal winners will qualify to the World Cup while the third place winner from the semifinal losers will complete Concacaf’s representatives to the 2018 Fifa Under-20 Women’s World Cup in France.

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

Brian Williams: Shabazz expected to work magic.
By Jelani Beckles (Newsday).


National youth football coach Brian Williams sympathises with coach Jamaal Shabazz, saying that a lack of proper preparation for national teams is affecting their performance at regional and international tournaments.

Williams was speaking on the heels of the Trinidad and Tobago’s 3-2 defeat to Haiti in the CONCACAF Under-20 Women’s Championships currently being staged at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva.

T&T were off to an excellent start in the match as they led 2-0 after 12 minutes. However, T&T lost their way to eventually lose the match courtesy a hat-trick from Nerilia Mondesir.

Speaking after the defeat to Haiti, T&T coach Jamaal Shabazz said T&T had a dream start but “we lost to a more skilful, fitter and more aggressive Haitian team.”

Prior to the start of the tournament, T&T struggled to get quality international warm-up matches. Shabazz was hoping to play a Central or South American team, but had to settle for matches against local teams including matches against the national senior women’s team, an Under-15 boys team and a team of ex-national players such as Cornell Glen and Dennis Lawrence.

Shabazz said he knew it was a struggle now from an economic standpoint to arrange international friendly matches, but was still hopeful for friendly matches leading up to the tournament.

In an interview with Newsday in December, Shabazz said, “If we get a chance to play on the moon, we will play. The ideal (thing) would be to get somebody to come play here but it’s very difficult,” he said. “In women’s football, friendly matches are a luxury.”

Williams, the national Under-20 football coach, understands what Shabazz has to endure as a national coach. Williams said, “As a national coach, sometimes our hands are tied with proper preparation which puts us at a disadvantage to really assess properly our work. So from what I saw (against Haiti), we could see fitness was a challenge for our girls.”

Williams said sometimes people expect coaches to perform miracles, but often times coaches are not given the proper tools to work with. “He could only work with what he has. He could only work with the time given to him. From a national coaching perspective, we sometimes have to be miracle men or magic men.”

Williams said players should not be making their debut in a tournament which doubles as a World Cup qualifier.

“We don’t have a proper league where these girls will be playing on an ongoing basis to prepare themselves...To be fair, we have more to do from a general perspective in preparing our girls for these competitions. Some of the girls came in the national programme for the first time and they never have been in any organised training.”

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

We can't continue to pick players and try to make them ready for a tournament. That might have cut it 10-20 years ago. Today if you're not prepared* then you can't compete, much less win, even less qualify for a WC. Those days are over, winging it.

Jamal Shabazz is a dumb ass.

You losing 3-1 facing certain elimination and you are not committing numbers forward. No press, no support in forward positions, no commitment to the attack.

Absolutely ridiculous.  :pissedoff:

U-20 Women lose second qualifier… this time to Canada.
TTFA Media.


Trinidad and Tobago lost 4-1 to Canada as Jordyn Huitema scored three goals  for the visitors as they earned their second straight win at the 2018 CONCACAF Under-20 Women’s Championship Group encounter at Ato Boldon Stadium on Saturday evening. Haiti held on to defeat Costa Rica 3-2 in the earlier Group A encounter after the Central Americans rallied back to pull it to 3-2 after trailing 3-0 in the first half.

Canada, which improved to 20W-0D-0L all-time in the competition’s group stage, advanced to the semifinals – along with Haiti (2-0-0, 6) – with a game to spare. T&T and Costa Rica (0-0-2, 0) were both eliminated from contention.

The home fans received a charge in the third minute, when Aaliyah Prince ran onto a short Dennecia Prince corner and fired high inside the far post to give T&T a 1-0 lead.

Canada leveled six minutes later on its own set piece as Huitema chested in Julia Grosso’s right-sided corner at the back post.

In the 51st minute, Grosso’s dangerous corner kick was headed in the air on a 50-50 challenge in the box, before Huitema volleyed her shot in off Trinidad & Tobago goalkeeper Kill Keshwar’s hands to put Canada ahead 2-1.

T&T was reduced to 10 players in the 65th minute after captain Natisha John handled in the box. Gabrielle Carle buried the penalty kick – her second goal in as many games — to give the two-time champion a two-goal cushion.

Huitema, who netted a brace in a 3-1 win over Costa Rica on January 18, completed her hat-trick three minutes from full time, running onto a long ball from Grosso and tapping past an onrushing Keshwar.

Shabazz’s Post-Match Press Conference comments

“We had a tough game. We started well but not able to keep pace with the opponents but good start and some good things throughout the game.”

“Well I think we had to stay compact.  Canada is a superior opponent and we couldn’t be open,  we had to stay compact and it bore fruit for us as it was 1-1 at the end of the first half.  We’ve got to be realistic in international football that we can’t play open.  When we ended up with ten men you would have seen that we can’t play open. When we went down to ten men we saw the failure to keep compact and we got open and we got scored on.  It is important for us to stay company during long periods in the game and I thought they did that on the first half.

“When they got ahead,  the burden of responsibilities playing at home, the girls are very emotional. They’re feeling too much [like ok] if we don’t win we let down the country, you know,  we want them to play in the here and the now.  We want them to stay in the moment and focus on the performance. I thought they focused too much on results, you know the results come at the end but the performance is here and now and it’s something we’ve got to continue to work on,” Shabazz said.

On whether T&T will go for the win against Costa Rica on Monday despite being eliminated from the competition, he added,” “Of course,  we have a game against Costa Rica . They’re two down and we’re two down  and we’ve got to continue to play and give credibility to the tournament and to the country and come out and give 100%”

Asked to comment on  any positives  he saw from T&T in the two matches to date, Shabazz responded, “I think the grit and determination. We’ve seen that we can score,  and we scored in two matches against opponents who eventually took charge of the game.  So there is something there in us, there is a fire in us and the ability to be consistent and to maintain and stay in battle is something we need to work on. Certainly we have shown the ability to get our goals in front which shows a positive thing for us.”

On the showing of goalscorer Aaliyah Prince

“Well two U-17 players started today,  we had to start also Nathifa Hawkshaw because of injuries to two key players who couldn’t play from the start.  I think both of them gave a good account of themselves and Prince especially,  you can see she’s developing and she’s maturing.  A lot of times she picked up the ball and looked dangerous and even the whole question of the goal,  it shows that (you know)  that there are players coming through from the U-17s into the U-20s and possibly all the way to the seniors.”

On goalkeeper Klil Keshwar

“Yeah this kid has a bright future,  and I think that with more work and more international matches she will come into her own and be able to compete for a spot in the higher age groups

A hat-trick from Canadian striker Jordyn Huitema and a penalty from Gabby Carle brought an end to T&T's chances of qualifying for the 2018 FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva last night.

Huitema who also scored a double in her team's opening game against Costa Rica at the same venue on Thursday, led a commanding 4-1 performance over the fighting Soca Princesses team, which was reduced to 10 players in the 65th minute when captain Natisha John was given marching orders for handling the ball in the box.

The local girls now have no points from two matches while the Canadians now lead the group on goal difference with six points ahead of Haiti.

However, it was the home team which got off to a flying start just as it did in its first game against the Haitians, when striker Aaliyah Prince reacted faster to a right side corner by smashing the ball into the roof of the net to hand the host the lead in only the second minute.

But the Canadians settled quickly and launched a series of attacks on the T&T goal that were thwarted either by the quick intervention of goalkeeper Klil Keshwar, or the dogged defensive play of their players.

In spite of this however, the Canadians got the equalizer in the eight-minute when Keshwar failed to hold on to a cross from the right and inside a crowded area, and Huitema fired it into the back of an open goal.

Later Keshwar made amends by pulling off a blinding save at the back post to prevent Catlin Shaw giving her team the lead. The teams went to the half tied at 1-1, but Keshwar and company could do nothing when Huitema quickly fired in from a loose ball after the T&T defence found trouble to clear Shaw's right side corner in the 51st minute.

T&T's trouble worsened when John accidentally handled the ball inside the penalty area in the 65th minute and was shown the red card. The incident resulted in a penalty which Carle beat Keshwar to her bottom right corner for a 3-1 advantage. Still the Canadians were not done.

Huitema then rounded off the scoring when she out sprinted the opposition defence to slide the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper to record her hat-trick, and a comfortable 4-1 win for the visitors.

Canada and Haiti advance out of Group A to the semifinals.

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

Jamal Shabazz is a dumb ass.

You losing 3-1 facing certain elimination and you are not committing numbers forward. No press, no support in forward positions, no commitment to the attack.

Absolutely ridiculous.  :pissedoff:
he was never going to beat Canada or seriously threaten their goal. Why make the score look worse than it was. If we played with 14 we may not get a organized attack, what makes you think Shabazz will get a win down 3-1 with 10. When I putting down the coach, prefer to keep it real. My only quarrel with the man is, he not aware of football outside the nation.

So two straight games T&T give up the lead to lose, first against Haiti and then against Canada, some fool commentator on the radio saying they unlucky, that is not misfortune instead that is mental weakness and lack of preparation and bad coaching all in one.

Keep in mind these games are being played here in T&T , what ah shame the way we competing at home

  Wasn't Shabazz the coach of Guyana's senior men's national team which beat T&T recently?  ???

Don't totally agree with that.

Costa Rica could have said the same thing, but look at how they responded and what it did to Haiti. We needed to play for 1 goal at a time. I'm not saying attack with reckless abandon, but we had some nice spots where we could have took a chance and we never did. We resigned from early to not "losing bad". That's coward, and taught our players that they are indeed inferior. I don't like that approach.

We've been surrendering like this for decades and now it seems to be who we are. This is why at 1-1 we wilt. We show no fight or mental fortitude to fight back especially when we're leading and give up goals.
"Saving face" needs to not be part of who we are.

First, we need good coaches. When we get good coaches, we run them off because the egos of our administrators are larger than their abilities. Then we must change our method of preparation. We cannot play against each other and hope to get better. We must compete against better opponents,whether we win or lose. Preparation must include playing numerous friendlies against better opposition. And this goes for all our teams - male and female, or we are doomed to remain on the outside of every major tournament.
Never, never, ever give up! Go T&T Warriors!

Fitness is achieved by playing often, against better teams and learning to fight. Our teams are not fit, reason they can't survive aftera  few minutes. Of course, the girls were not better than Canada, but have a ot of promising players.
Never, never, ever give up! Go T&T Warriors!
