jpg75 Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 For those not familiar with what happened, the T&T FA promised the players money for appearing at the WC last summer. However, they never delivered on that promise and the money went into Disco Jack Warners' gold-lined pockets. The players complained and threatened to hold out (led by Dwight Yorke who has since retired from international play), and then the FA called them on it and imposed the "blacklist" to banish them all from the team. The money has never been paid out. Not sure who from that list is going to want to play for T&T at this point, some will, some won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hopefully we'll end up having them in our WCQ semi-final group . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Ah, so that's why Colin Samuel has sucked so bad for TFC, he's been playing in the US even when Toronto plays at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried that'd be the last thing we need. Out of T&T, Panama and Guatemala (the teams that finished 4-6 last WCQ) IMO the Trini's would be the most dangerous in a SF group. Guates are crap and Ruiz is their only saving grace. Panama is stable, decent D and some goal poaching. But they'll roll over for either the US or Mexico, allowing us to gain points on them if we can steal a result against either of those regional powers. But T&T can beat the Mexicans at home. Or, they could implode and lose points to a bottom team like Cuba or Haiti and steal points from us which would put us in a bind (of course, they could also implode against us). My point is i don't like the erraticness of T&T so close to qualifying. Nor do i like the prospect of being grouped with the Jamaicans for the same reasons.

jpg75 Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 This is a thread from BS http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=589677 CONCACAF appear to have seeded the teams based on the May rankings. If they follow through with this format to seed the groups for the SF round, then with a balanced seeding system the groups look like this: Mexico T&T Jamaica Guyana USA Panama Cuba Canada Costa Rica Honduras Haiti Guatemala Or if they stick to the format they usually go with (last WCQ results) Pot A: Mexico USA Costa Rica Pot B: T&T Panama Guatemala Pot C: Honduras Canada Jamaica SVG SKN El Salvador *** Note some of the teams could change if there are "upsets" in the prelim. round.

I hear ya, they sucked at the Gold Cup. If we could get THAT T&T in our SF group then we're laughing. But, if even half of these players cave in and play then i wouldn't want anything to do with that team. Gimme Guatemala instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
