Your too much, you never seem to get the drift. Are you not English, that would explain your lack of understanding of the Language and if so, you have my apologies. If you are English, you need to work on things like tounge in cheek expressions and more importantly, the over the top phrases like Worlds most important:missingte not to mention some sort of personality.
Your Brazil beach room mate seems to have the same quality stiffness in his posts that you have, maybe instead of having avatars of birds with their Ass stuck up in the air he should go out and bury himself in a real one.
Still, the World cup is around the corner and I wouldnt want to deprive any squares of access to your famed Database and now the priviledge of chatting to the most important linesmaker/ Handicapper in the World.
Hope you both have a successful World Cup. :drink:
[SIZE=-1] QUOTE: Trinidad & Tobago are the longest shot in the field, and reasonably so. The players mostly toil for unfancied clubs in England and Scotland. CONCACAF has never gone four-deep at the World Cup, and Group B is pretty tough. Only diehard Soca Warriors fans--and they're a passionate bunch--are expecting the team to make the second round. But either way T&T are unlikely to be embarrassed. Even when they're behind, they play calmly and cohesively, and anyone expecting them to fold under pressure is thinking about some other team. The big if is the back line; if they can avoid mistakes, T&T will stay close all the way. And when you stay close, sometimes you win...
Labeeb,
It would appear they are underrated. Laying the other 3 in play for big scores may be the way, especially if one of them goes 1-0 up.

The snyopsis is correct. They HAVE to avoid mistakes. Obviously everyone has to, but their backline has been prone to making crucial errors especially against the longball. They do play calmly even when behind as evident in their playoff against Bahrain. After giving up a home goal, T&T played composed and earned a tie with a Chris Birchall rocket from about 35 out inside of 15 minutes to play. They then went to Bahrain needing a victory and secured the birth.
The friendly result against Slovenia definately has me concerned. I've heard differing reports on who was to blame, the defense or Hislop in nets.
Soca Warrior Nation is definately reeling right now. Much panic in the ranks. Next up is the last friendly against the Czechs this weekend.

From what you post earlier, you've watched them on their friendlies. I don't know where you are from, but we have played them forever in the quaifying rounds. Their team is too old and playing against one of the favorites to win the cup, England, they would kill them, Sweeden will win easily too and they might score against Paraguay, MIGHT. I won't give odds, i'm not a handicapper, i'm just giving my opinion.

Actually SubZero, I've been watching them since about the midway point of the CONCACAF Hex as there was finally a place in Washington DC to catch the matches.
With all that Beenhakker has been able to do in a short amount of time, the results of their European friendlies have been disappointing to say the least. Leo has said that the purpose of the matches were to get accustomed to a faster European game. Looks to me like the defense has to adjust in a hurry. Question in net with Hislop looking a step off as well.
But to say they won't score is another matter altogether. Although aging, they still have talent up front with Yorke, John (if healthy), and Birchall that should be able to create a tally or two.
