0-0 of last Wed fired both coaches....interesting.....

[truetrini]

I prefer Costa Rica over Mexico any day of any week of any year!

Costa Ricans and West Indians have much in common.

[jared9999]

I heard that leo beenhaker was going to be the new coach of t&t on fsc. he is a good coach and i wanted him to stay with america. i hope he can do something with t&t but doubt it

[truetrini]

you may be surprised :cool:

[jared9999]

hopefully as long as it is not against mexico :D

[truetrini]

I doubt we can beat Mexico in Mexico..we do have a good record at home against Mexico

[MoRado]

Costa Ricans and West Indians have much in common.
really?mmm... that's new to me

[Sakuragi]

I doubt we can beat Mexico in Mexico..we do have a good record at home against Mexico

Yes, it will be hard. You guys should be happy to walk with a 5-0 loss. Notice-I'm not ridiculing or anything. It's just the truth...

[truetrini]

I am oping it will not be as bad as 5-0.

We are perennial spoilers..we gifted USA with a WC appearancelasttimeattheexpensef Hounduras.

We have beaten Mexico 4-0 in the 70's....why cant we win again?

We beat then 1-0 and tied 1-1 with you too.

[Neubill]

really?mmm... that's new to me
Food. Think food.

[Flyin Ryan]

^^ Five years ago Trinidad beat Mexico 1-0 in Port of Spain in the semifinal qualifying round. A bit more recent than the '70s :p , but if that happened this time around, I think a certain Hugo Sanchez will become the new coach of Mexico.

[MoRado]

Food. Think food.
I'll think food, whaterver it means...

Leo Beenhakker is New Head Coach of T&T senior team.


This is a great move. Having been coach of Club America after World Cup '94, Beenhakker is familiar with the style of play prevalent in CONCACAF. When his players listen to him, the teams he coaches are giant killers. If big egos like Yorke try to impede his work, Leo will make him watch the Soca Warriors match on TV. Beenhakker is just the shot in the bum Trinidad & Tobago need.

[glennaldo_sf]

Congradulations on your new coach! This is also great news for the USA too. We've already played in Trinidad so I'm not worried but hopefully you can take some points off some of the other teams. :)

[truetrini]

Watch out for Trinidad...all teams from now on. We had NO coach before.

We will be much better organized from now on!!!
