I worried about the Honduras match. They mash up CR like is nuttin in their last qualifier but they missing a few key players for the TnT encounter.

The Ticos are similar to us in that they have the potential, and have, outscored any other team in CONCACAF but can collapse and get beaten by minnows on any given day.

For both matches we need to transition back on defense quicker than we have been doing so far. We may have to play a more defensive game and attack on the counter. Latas has us playing more attacking ball now so that might not happen this rounds. It'll be interesting to see if Jlloyd Samuel makes it for this match to help shore up the back line.

I am wondering if the USA will be sending their A team or the B team or A/B Team?

[cm103]

I guess that depends on the results from their earlier match and if the clubs release their players.

We pulled it off in 2006, we could pull it off again ... in theory. :?

Jason Scotland should have an idea how Maynor Figueroa, Hendry Thomas and Carlos Costy play as they all play for Wigan.

Once we lock down Amado Guevara and Julio César de León we good to go. Danilo Turcios can be a good player to.

I think David Suazo is not 100% and Carlos Costly is out. But Carlos Pavón is a ole vet who can still score.

Ah Guyanese pardna tell meh Maynor Figueroa is good but he slow. ... rest it on the catratchos...tnt tnt tnt.

We going and pull it off people heart attack ting but we will do it.

We have to outplay them early and not lose focus down the stretch.

The thing I worried about is them hitting we on d counter and all the diving them men does do when they losing. We really cyah afford to lose starters due to cards at this juncture. We have to win all our remaining home games and pick up points somewhere on the road.

So Jlloyd suiting up in d red, white and black....could this mean that one back wing isn't swiss cheese for these next two matches?

Our opponents won't have match video with Jlloyd playing for TnT. Might be interesting to see if they try to bring the ball through him.

Honduras 4- Trinidad 1..............awright the next game is on 9 Sept vs the USA......ah hope that
it is not a worst cutarse........

as safe as swiss cheese, in a colander, on a hot tawa.

Jozy Altidore scored 3 goals last time on goalie Ince....ah hope on 9 Sept at home......is not the
Jozy Altidore show.....at this point,the USA could send their "B" team......de same team dat get
5 goals from Mexico in de Goal Cup.

[Acid]

Right now with USA in 2nd place and only 1 point ahead of 4th place they will be sending their top squad to ensure they get 3 points and some goals to boost that goal difference.

Doh feel the USA coming here with a baby squad.

He didn't do that bad in his first outing although it's clear that defensive line have even less cohesion than before. A regular sweat with the team should take care of that. Didn't he also have an assist in the one goal we scored?

Time to bring in men like Julius James and bring back Avery John. Dog cyah play at this level again. We start d slowest defense against the fastest team in CONCACAF.
