We had really interesting group. We will meet with Canada for first time and we will play against Mexico, who finished behind us in last World cup qualification. We had great luck in our last WC qualification, but this qualification was absolutaly different. We were better in some games, but we didnt take points. And we our out from American cup due this.

We finished 18th - its two places behind the qualification limit.

Why we are out? Probably its due second round, when we were much better than Mexico, but we didnt take points. One point from this game could give us promotion..... :(

Statictic from American cup qualification

Some interesting stastic from American cup qualification. Its really shame that we are out and our score is 16-18, when we had more shots than the others.....

We were last match in the qualification againt the worst team in the group. We changed tactic and played on one Fc. It could seems more defensive, but the effect was absolutely different. We won our last game and we made a record in highest win in our history......enjoy it.

American Qualification - 6th round

We were wating hard game with Mexico, we were able beat them only in one game in history and we had to win for save our chances for America cup promotion. We were better until 23rd minute, but we didnt score and it is our current problem. Mexice took the lead and was better from this moment. Its shame, we could manage it.

American Qualification - 5th round

We had to make second step on our trip to America cup...We played at Paraguay. We lost first game 2:5, but every game can be different.
We had good start to the match. We controled the ball from the first minute and made a lot of chances. It was 5:0 on shots in 17th minute, but we werent able score. But we continued in our performance and we scored in 33rd minute, 34th minute and 38th minute. First half ended with the score 3:0..... we controled the ball in second half too and won the game 4:0. This was first game for Abdulah Birchall as captain and he done his work with excellent result.

Really important points, but we will still need two more wins...

American Qualification - 4th round

2012-02-18 21:54

We had to change tactic and line up after our last bad performances. The situation is critical and we need to win this game for save a chance to trough to American cup. I have good news for TnT. We have done it and new players played well, I risked J.DeLeon on the right side of our defence and he gave us assist for first goal and his rating were 8! But our Fc are really bad. E.Fenwick scored after 5 games, but scored only 21 goals from 17 shots is really low :(. Any idea?

The situation is better, but we will need win more games......but this is good first step.

2012-02-18 21:49

I and all players would like to appologize for the result......

American qualification 2nd round

2012-02-18 21:46

We played with our well know opponent and we played really well, but the goals are important......and only one goal from 15 shots is too low.

Trinidad and Tobag - Mexico 1 - 3
 
  • 55%    Possession    45%

The situation is bad, but still not critical. We will see what next games will bring.

American qualification - 1 round

2012-01-21 16:22

We played first game of the American qualification tonight. We could have before the qualification of the highest goals due to results at the World Cup, but the reality is different. Paraguay team sent us back to the ground and won the first game 5:2. Our players try to keep the ball, but the quality of some players is lower than our opponent and that it was not enough, our goalkeeper had a very bad day.

Trinidad and Tobag - Paraguay     2:5
   
  • 60%    Possession    40%
  • 10        Shots                  14
  • 5        Shots On Target    11
  • 4        Set Pieces              5
  • 0        Penalties                0
  • 3        Yellow Cards          2
  • 0        Red Cards               0

 

But the ball control doesnt win the game and we lost the game ignominiously.

Cheer up, we believe that our team is able to record the required number of points. Anyway, we expect players generational replacement type K. Beckles will be hard......good luck.
