We seem to be throwing caution to the wind early on - as we normally do. It was truly disappointing after leading 2-0 away to El Salvador that we could not hold on for the win. And then scraped through against Honduras last night - a team with GREAT potential and clearly not on their best day. The away match is going to be much tougher, and given that our remaining matches of the "first round" are against the toughest teams, I can see us having a LOT of work to do from the instant we face El Salvador again at home.

I was totally surprised to hear that the USA scraped through their encounter in El Salvador's back yard. Against T&T on Wednesday, I expect they'd be picking up the pace once more. Poor us. We're going to FEEL those 4 pts we've already dropped.

lol we didn't play all that well..esp. at home we should be picking up all 3 points..if we grab a point against the USA it'll be a good result..beating the yanks in the states always very very hard.

TK! · Postby **TK!** » March 29th, 2009, 9:05 pm

i thought that the boys played a lot better against el salvador. despite they lack of ability to focus for a full 90, they did have a tighter game (first half).

against honduras, our skill level was really not where it can be. i AM pleased to see more shots at goal being taken. however, in the same breath, i would like to see them shoot ON TARGET more often. our strikers need to practice like 100 shots at goal per day. thats the only way to get good at it. they also need to learn some basic skills like passing and line plays. i see some real primary school footbal yesterday. :-(

finally .. as said above.. midfield support is weak. adding to that, i'd say that our defense like a strainer. but i leave this point for discussion. lemme hear what allyuh tink.. cause it have varied opinions on that.

oh.. i tink the goal we scored was not only dumb luck but also offside. anybody else feel dat way?

alyuh doh forget honduras is a much better side than el salvador (who we really should be have beaten).

TnT played sheit, never really settled, made endless passing errors, did not take advantage of good plays and really lacked finishing touches as we always do.

The best I tink we can do is scrape a draw with the US. However, the US after drawing with the weakest team in the group (el salvado) will want to come out strong and WIN against TnT. The odds are really stacked against us and I really doutb we'll get anything on wednesday against them.

We need to look to beat Costa Rica, El Salvador and Mexico at home.....and try to draw as much away games as possible.....the group is wide open, but in the end it always ends up with a big fight for 3rd place with Mex & US on top.

3rd place will most likely be between TnT, CR & Hon.....with Hon being the best of those teams IMO.

carlos still needs to learn to make a proper cross/ corner. kion daniel needs to learn some ball control. dwight should teach stern how to chest trap a ball. theobald should not play ever. they should have left on scotland b/c i think he would play a lot better with latapy as he seems to do well when the ball is played to his feet

Morpheus23 · Postby **Morpheus23** » March 30th, 2009, 2:04 am

dwight should teach stern how to chest trap a ball

^^Agreed

theobald should not play ever

^^Totally agree. i dunno how dat man play EVERY game of the World Cup. Steups

Paradoxx · Postby **Paradoxx** » March 30th, 2009, 7:54 am

I fedup hear men badtalk Theobald......d man had a good game for the time that he was on the field on saturday. And as for Carlos, why is there almost NO ONE supporting him, maybe if he had some fackin support on his side then he would cross better. As I said before the only real problem we faced in that game was finishing. We missed quite a bit of opportunities to score. Since dem young fellas like shooting from outside d box so much(i hav no problem with this), somebody teach dem to figgin hit d goal an not over please.

Muddacnut out

Because Cyd Gray has not played since the game against Guatemala in Guatemala City. You would notice how much support Carlos has when Cyd Gray is working the right back position, and you may recall how effective that was in the same game against Guatemala.

*shrug* that is how it is in T&T..I don't think Trini fans are they type you would see in S. America or Europe...the singing chanting etc not in the culture.

sure there would be some noise when a man pull off a move or a steups when a goal score against us or the noise and celebration when we score which lasts only a couple minutes..it just not part of the culture to be making noise for 90mins and creating an intimidating atmosphere.

at best is the rhythm section and that is it lol
