The quarterfinals are set. The Elite Eight matchups are on sunday. In Marabella, Portmore United FC (JAM) - Harbour View FC (JAM) San Juan Jabloteh (TRI) - Baltimore de St. Marc (HAI) In Macoya, Puerto Rico Islanders (PUR) - SV Leo Victor (SUR) Joe Public FC (TRI) - Bassa SC (ATG)
It seems that the Islanders and Joe Public have the easiest of the fixtures, but we cant get to cocky, we can see what the smaller teams can do if given the chance already.
Intru - I heard that the last game was one of the most physical of the year. The referee let them play and some of the of the tackles were criminal. I'm afraid our opponent today, being another Surinam team, will be the same way. Vamos Islanders!!

So, he won't be available for our friendly against Panama. That's not good. It seems like he is having a great season with the Islanders. Puerto Rico is getting stronger and so is the Dominican Republic! Should we, football fans, expect a soccer rivalry between Boricuas and Quisqueyanos? Hey they are doing it in baseball and boxing already
USL-1st Division - 2007 Season No-Name--------GP-Min.--G-Pts-Sh-Fo 11-Noël, Fabrice-14-1062-4--8--24-20 Noël had a great season! He came midway the season to the Islanders and in the 14 games he played (out of 28) he scored 4 goals. The leading scorer for the team this season was Noah Delgado with 5 goals in 22 games.

Good luck to the Islanders and HV in the Semis. Again its unfortuante that the tournament had to be played here in its entirity. I expect the level of these games to be significantly higher than the previous fixtures. (Portmore/HV and Baltimore/Jab excluded) And if a T&T club does happen to win, try not to bring up Jack Warners name too soon. Thanks in advance.
I would radder be beaten by a T&T team other than a Jamaican team. To bad the Jack Warner controversies will always hang over you guys as long as his running things.
I know you would but realistically you would be beaten by either nations club teams in a semi final or final
Joe Public's Jamaican striker Roen Nelson had a field day against Bassa. Boriqa looks like Islanders are about to face another Jamaican yet again!
To bad Fabriece was taken out, then you would be facing the same striker that won haiti de game against you guys in the Olimpic qualy.
