It is not difficult to see the Jack Warner still manipulating things behind the scenes, but now working against the National Football Federation instead of using them to line his pockets.

 

Trinidad and Tobago will be present in St. Kitts and Nevis' tournament. The Socca Warriors will start against French Guyana today (5 PM).

Trinidad and Tobago are in group 5 along with French Guyana, St.Kitts and Nevis (host) and Anguilla.

 

The final scores were French Guyana 1-4 Trinidad and Tobago and St. Kitts and Nevis 2-0 Anguilla. Flash Score says the October 12 games in the group were postponed.

They shouldn't play the first and second round at the same time

 

why?

 

Because the first round should be done by the time the second starts like just about every other soccer tournament keep it simple

st lucia 1 st vincent 0

 

I have a problem with the finals not being played on an intl fifa date

 

That is the bigger problem scheduling needs to be done better and well ahead of time no more last minute changes

 

There aren't enough FIFA dates and there are never any in December or January. The most popular national team tournaments like the World Cup, Euro, and Copa America are all played in the summer, which is the only time of year they could play the Caribbean Cup and its qualifiers without competing with UEFA leagues for players.

 

Final scores from yesterday:

Group 2:
St. Vincent and the Grenadines 4-0 Curacao
St. Lucia 0-3 Guyana

Standings:
Guyana 6
St. Vincent and the Grenadines 3
Curacao 3
St. Lucia 0

Group 7:
Dominica Republic 1-1 Martinique
Guadeloupe 4-1 Puerto Rico

Standings:
Dominican Republic 4
Martinique 4
Guadeloupe 3
Puerto Rico 0

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Caribbean_Championship_qualification has more information.

 

this is the result

Grupo 7
1-República Dominicana 7 (+4)
2-Martinica 5 (+1)
3-Guadalupe 4 (+1)
4-Puerto Rico 0 (-6)

 

So Guadeloupe will not qualify for 2013 after being in the previous three Gold Cups.

 

Curacao used their U20 team. Why do so many Caribbean teams play their youth sides in these tournaments?

 

I guess it is a money issue, their best players are probably in Europe and airplane tickets are expensive

 

Sure I get why the European players aren't used but it seems they could field a team with more experienced local players. Suriname did the same in WCQ's they fielded a U20 team. What is the point of fielding a U20 team if the senior team doesn't exist

 

getting them international match experience I would guess

 

That makes sense

 

In the Dom Rep the president of the Federacion de Futbol is looking for 62,000 us

Informó que llevar el equipo a Guadalupe necesita una inversión de 2.5 millones de pesos, por los gastos en que hay que incurrir el boletos aéreos de jugadores que residen en diferentes países de Europa, Estados Unidos y la región del Caribe. De ese monto, el Ministerio de Deportes sólo está aportando los tickets desde Santo Domingo a Guadalupe.
Presentó una campaña denominada “Vamos por el Oro, no solo con el corazón se gana”, destinada a recolectar recursos para cubrir los gastos del equipo nacional.
Guzmán dio a conocer la cuenta número766043210, del banco Popular, a la que las empresas y personas físicas, pueden hacer sus aportes para viabilizar el proyecto del equipo nacional de cara a la Copa de Oro.
