[hiding face in shame smiley]I'd like to withdraw this question, please.[/hiding face in shame smiley]
This Cuban team is not bad. I must say though that the 2-0 against Canada was a fluke, they havent reached such a high level yet.
bump! So how do you guys sum Cuba's participation in the last Gold Cup and Pan Ams? Are they in the path of doing a good WCQs?
Brazilian coaches will teach soccer to cubans in exchange agreement: http://oglobo.globo.com/online/plantao/110437944.asp
peruvian MIGUEL COMPANY, speaks out, he still in charge: "El fútbol cubano requiere de una labor inconmensurable desde la base, o sea, con la incorporación a la práctica de los niños, y no creo en los milagros, pero tengo una gran fe en la naturaleza deportiva de este pueblo" Bajo su mando, el fútbol cubano sueña con la clasificación olímpica y, a partir del primer trimestre del próximo año, iniciará el largo camino hacia la Copa del Mundo Alemania 2006. "Son dos metas importantes para un país como Cuba, en el cual gusta mucho el fútbol, pero existe una base endeble, porque la mayoría de los talentos potenciales optan desde la niñez por otros deportes, principalmente el béisbol", argumentó Company. Para obtener una de las dos plazas que confiere la Confútbol para la cita olímpica de Atenas 2004, la selección cubana sub 23 lucha con Jamaica por el objetivo. En el partido de ida, el pasado siete de septiembre, cubanos y jamaiquinos igualaron a un gol en el estadio Pedro Marrero, en la capital cubana, y el entrante 12 de octubre volverán a rivalizar en Kingston, en un choque crucial en las aspiraciones de ambos de promover a la siguiente ronda. Como preparación para ese enfrentamiento, el once cubano ha pactado tres partido de fogueo Ante su similar de Panamá en el estadio Marrero de La Habana. En el primero de estos desafíos, disputado este miércoles bajo la lluvia, ambas selecciones en igualaron la pizarra 2-2. El segundo choque está previsto para el viernes y el tercero y último el domingo. Los futbolistas locales también chocarán con sus similares de República Dominicana, en el mismo escenario, el 29 próximo y el 1 de octubre, en horas de la tarde.
That was the whole purpose of the blockade! Kennedy was trying to prevent Russian coaches from coming over to train the Cubans so Cuba could qualify for the 1966 WC and eliminate the US in the process!! When the Russian coaches couldn't get through the blockade, Cuba had to resort to its own coaches and failed to qualify--they gave it a good run though: came in second place to Jamaica in the opening round of WCQ!!!
WCQ draw If Cuba succeeds in their first WCQs 2006 commitment against the Cayman Islands in home/home series, which they won't probably have any difficulty in doing so, they will have to overcome nothing more, nothing less than the regional powerhouses Costa Rica in order to reach the CONCACAF semifinals. The beggining doesn't look very good for the national team of Cuba.
Cuba just won the 2nd leg against the Cayman Islands by 3-0 (5-1 on aggregate) and now will play Costa Rica on June 13 for the next round. Tough task for Cuba in their WCQs path.
More scored all three goals for Cuba. He seems to always be the 'go to guy' on the Cuban team. What club does he play for in Cuba? Does anyone know anything about the Cuban soccer league?
I'm no expert on the Cuban league, but I know he plays for Ciego de Avila, who I'm pretty sure is the current champion.
Re: Why doesn't Cuba have a decent team? Dude, what are you talking about? The only teams from CONCACAF that are ranked higher than Cuba is USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Jamaica. Not that CONCACAF is the best federation out there, but it speaks a lot for Cuba compared to Canada, the rest of Central America, and the other 300 island nations. They had defeated Canada, Costa Rica, and Jamaica in last year's CONCACAF Gold Cup to reach the quarter-finals against USA then lost. I'm not a Cuban so I'm not going to defend them much, but have you ever seen them play lately? I have. They have a good squad that could definitely be the surprise team for WC qualifying. More Cubans are playing football, and like you said: a communist leader would sure love to have his country represented in an international competition.
I`ll say that Cuba, and Panama also, are the most improved countries in the last two years.....Unfortunately for them, they have no chance to go to the World Cup
Some help for Cuba Amazing. Good for Cuba! Argentina wants to help Cuban soccer ' We want to bring top level soccer coaches such as (Jorge) Valdano, (Marcelo) Bielsa to work with our coaches and in schools,' said the Argentine government's Secretary for Sports Claudio Morresi.
Re: Some help for Cuba thats good for Cuba because they have alot of potential. I hope for 2010 that they will make it to to semin finals, if not the hex.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/23/sports/cuba-soccer-world-cup-qualifying.html?auth=login-facebook When its campaign to qualify for the 2022 World Cup begins this week, Cuba will use an approach it has not tried in years: fielding many of its best eligible players. For years, only Cuban players who had contracts with INDER, the country’s governing body for sports, were selected to represent the national team. This month, that will change. Cuba has called in several players who are based abroad — and outside the official Cuban sports system — to play in a set of World Cup qualification matches.
