Gian-Luca Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Well, on the one hand T&T, Panama & Guatemala must all have other priorities. On the other hand, these matches can serve as excellent preparation matches for their Hex matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Four Central American teams qualify to 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup™ 21.2.05 - Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and Panama all qualified to the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup™ after they each gained a berth on Monday evening, with one first round game remaining, into the semifinals of the Copa de Naciones UNCAF (Unión Centroamericana de Fútbol) Telgua at the Estadio Mateo Flores in Ciudad de Guatemala, Guatemala. Honduras (2-0-0, 6 Points) began the Copa de Naciones UNCAF Telgua Group A play with a 4:0 victory over Belize (0-2-0, 0 Points). Milton Nunez scored twice, while Wilson Palacios and Wilmer Velasquez each added another for the catrachos, who will be making their seventh appearance at CONCACAF Gold Cup™, which will run from 6-24 July 2005. In another Group A encounter on Monday, two goals by Hernan Rene Sandoval and one each from Juan Carlos Plata and Edwin Roberto Villatoro led Guatemala (2-0-0, 6 Points) to a 4:0 win over Nicaragua (0-2-0, 0 Points). The chapines are making their seventh trip to the CONCACAF Gold Cup™ next year. Two teams also advanced from Copa de Naciones UNCAF Group B with one not even stepping onto the field on Monday evening. Costa Rica (1-0-0, 3 Points) topped El Salvador (0-2-0, 0 Points) 2:1 in a physical and heated encounter which saw six bookings (CRC-2; SLV-4) and five ejections (CRC-1; SLV-5). Roy Myrie and Whayne Wilson each scored for Costa Rica, while Dennis Jonathan Alas had the only tally for El Salvador. With the elimination of El Salvador, both Costa Rica and Panama (1-0-0, 3 Points), who did not play on Monday, advanced to the Copa de Naciones UNCAF semifinals and qualified to the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup™. The ticos will be making their seventh participation at the CONCACAF event, while it will be only the second for the canaleros and first since 1993. The Copa de Naciones ends first round action on Wednesday (23 February) at the Estadio Mateo Flores when Nicaragua faces Belize at 15:30, Panama takes on Costa Rica at 17:45 and then Guatemala host Honduras at 20:00. The semifinals are scheduled for Friday (25 February) in Ciudad de Guatemala, with the UNCAF tournament concluding on Sunday (27 February) with the third-place match at 14:00 in the Estadio Mateo Flores and then the final at 16:30. 2005 UNCAF NATIONS CUP First Round – Ciudad de Guatemala, GUATEMALA; Estadio Mateo Flores Group A (GP, W-L-T, F:A, PTS) Honduras (2, 2-0-0, 9:1, 6) Guatemala (2, 2-0-0, 6:0, 6) Belize (2, 0-2-0, 0:6, 0) Nicaragua (2, 0-2-0, 1:9, 0) 21.02.2005: BELIZE – HONDURAS 0:4 (0:2) Wilmer VELASQUEZ 7’; Milton NUNEZ 33’, 80’; Wilson PALACIOS 88’ BLZ: 1-Shane Orio – 3-Vallan Symms, 4-Dalton Eiley, 5-Raul Celiz (85: 14-Gilmore Palacios), 6-Bernard Linarez (55: 15-Victor Morales), 9-Norman Pipersburgh, 10-Harrison Roches, 12-Trevor Lennen, 18-Orland Lyons, 19-Elroy Smith (60: 8-Geovanni Celize), 20-Jarbi Alvarez.

beachesl Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Just to clarify, Cuba and Jamaica qualify, as top 3 of 4 go on to GC. So, that means all that has to be determined in terms of GC participants are winner of Barbados/T&T (Go Barbados!) and the second guest team, probably from South America due to reciprocal arrangement re Copa America.

Elias Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Qualifiers: North - Canada, USA, Mexico Central - Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama Caribbean - Cuba, Jamaica, Barbados/T&T Guests - South Africa, South America My Groups: Seattle/Boston - USA, South Africa, Barbados/T&T, Panama LA/Houston - Mexico, Cuba, Honduras, Jamaica Miami - Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, South America Although it might make sense to switch Canada and Panama. The goal is to get the USA to the final. 80 000 people at Giants stadium for a US-Mexico final would be cool. Granted, I would prefer 2 000 to watch Canada and whoever. I wish they had the balls to put Cuba in Miami and let all hell break loose. At least it would get soccer on the front pages. http://www.cubanet.org/CNews/y01/apr01/18e11.htm - I know it's just a little outdated Wednesday, April 18, 2001.

Winnipeg Fury Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Jamaica, Cuba qualify for Gold Cup February 23, 2005 BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (AP) -- Jamaica and Cuba qualified for this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup with wins Tuesday in the Caribbean Cup soccer tournament. Jamaica earned its second win in the tournament by defeating Barbados 1-0 on a goal from Andy Williams in the eighth minute. Cuba remained unbeaten after topping Trinidad and Tobago 2-1. The Gold Cup is soccer's championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean. The tournament will be held in July at several venues in the Unites States, with semifinals and finals at East Rutherford, N.J. ADVERTISEMENTMexico is the defending champion, and the United States won in 1991 and 2002. The field also will include Canada. On Monday, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama and Costa Rica took the Central American berths in the tournament by reaching the semifinals of the UNCAF Cup. Barbados will play Trinidad and Tobago for the third Caribbean spot in the Gold Cup on Thursday. Trinidad can qualify with a win or a tie. Jamaica will face Cuba on Thursday. With a win or a tie, Cuba will win the Digicel Cup title and $100,000 in prize money. South Africa has already accepted an invitation to compete in the Gold Cup and CONCACAF will invite another nation to fill out the 12-team field.

Winnipeg Fury Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 Bajans Cry Foul over T&T. By Ezra Stuart. Beaten Barbados have another battle with Trinidad and Tobago, but it will be in the Caribbean Football Union’s (CFU) boardroom and not on the football field. The host country for the just-concluded Digicel Caribbean Cup finals have made a complaint about the composition of Trinidad and Tobago’s team in Thursday’s decisive match at the National Stadium. In calling for fair play, Barbados’ coach Mark Doherty wants Trinidad and Tobago to pay the penalty if they are found to be in breach of the tournament rules. Unknown to many, Trinidad and Tobago flew in two new players from outside their original 18-member squad, and played both to boost their team’s chances of beating Barbados in the all-important battle for third place. In addition, Doherty is claiming the Trinidadians, who won the match 3-2 to secure third place and the final berth in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, also named an ineligible footballer among their substitutes. “We registered a complaint (with match commissioner Chet Greene) because initially when we looked at the team sheet there was a black box which signifies that a player was ineligible. I am not sure why he was ineligible, but that (black box) was on the team sheet,” Doherty said. Investigations by the Saturday Sun revealed that veteran Trinidad and Tobago’s midfielder David Nakhid was initially banned for verbal abuse of a referee, but this suspension was subsequently dropped and he was fined US$2 000, allowing him to suit up. However, the major bone of contention is that Trinidad and Tobago flew in two other players, Nigel Henry and Dwayne Jack at the very last minute and both started in Thursday’s crucial match. “We realised from the meetings, the manager had stated that if a player had to be replaced, only one could be used, and we are under the impression, that two were used tonight (Thursday),” Doherty said after the match. “At the moment it is under protest and we have to look into it, but be guaranteed that we will look into it thoroughly,” Doherty added. Barbados were considering filing an official protest yesterday to commissioner Greene. Doherty believes that if Trinidad and Tobago fouled up, then the whistle should be blown on them and it should have nothing to do with whether they have high-ranking officials at the CFU level. “So if the rules are stretched or bent for Trinidad, then it doesn’t go well for the CFU and it doesn’t go well for Caribbean football. But I am sure that the tournament, the way it has been run and the professional manner that it has been approached, if any rule has been breached, then the proper thing will be done,” Doherty said. Henry replaced Marlon Rojas, while Jack was brought in for Cyd Gray. To compound matters, a high-ranking official of the Barbados Football Association (BFA) said a replacement was initially sought for striker Nigel Pierre and this was approved. However, he was subsequently informed prior to the match that two new players were coming in and that it was no longer Pierre who was being replaced. Barbados had been given permission to replace goalkeeper Bernard Howell who was injured in the first match against Cuba, but after he made a speedy recovery this option was turned down.
