We really are a die hard bunch aren't we? A Saturday night spent trying to get any kind of indication of how our u20's are doing! I really wish the CSA would help us out, how hard is it for them to give us live text like virtually every club in Britain has for every single game? Anyone heard anything? lol

A nil-nil is not a good result here, we need the three points if we want to progress, especially with Mexico losing. This is our easiest game and if we don't take max points today getting to Egypt will be very difficult.

From socawarriors.net, they think Mexico is weakest rival:

"Yardie08 you are aware that our 2 best players are not playing and you could be right about we going to Egypt coz the weakest team in the tournament is Mexico,not too sure bout CR.A win for TT against a very professional Canadian side could send us to Egypt,even a loss of 1-0 may not be that bad."

The first half started with the host applying some early pressure. From there, both teams looked to make their mark, but neither side could mount any momentum. In the 11th minute, Randy Edwini-Bonsu used his speed to press on the Trinidad & Tobago goal, but his shot went wide. A few minutes thereafter, Canada had its first corner kick, but the ball was easily cleared.

In the 14th minute, Trinidad & Tobago had its first good chance after a shot rebounded off a Canadian defender. The follow-up shot, however, was sent wide of goal. Canada then had a free kick in the 16th minute, but the shot was high. In the 17th minute, Marcus Haber was booked and Trinidad & Tobago fired its free kick right into the Canadian wall.

As the first half progressed, both sides made their drives down field. In the 21st minute, a good run by the host forced Canadian goalkeeper Adam Street out of his net to make a diving stop. In the 24th minute, Shaun Saiko took a long free kick that sailed over goal.

Canada did start to build an attack for several minutes, a sequence that included a caution to opponent Robert Primus. In the 33rd minute, Saiko played a long free kick that headed on goal, but just couldn't slow down in time for a Canadian striker to get a boot on it.

Late in the half, Trinidad & Tobago had its turn to get the home crowd standing. In the 42nd minute, Canada was very luck after Trinidad & Tobago rushed on goal and fired a low shot that dribbled just wide of the goal. Less than a minute later, Trinidad & Tobago broke through the Canadian defence again, but once again fired the shot wide.

The rest of the half played out with Canada creating a couple of chances. Edwini-Bonsu had a good run and Canada had a late corner kick, but to no avail. The second half then started with Brandon Bonifacio replacing Saiko in the midfield.
