Praising the girls after playing their hearts out is admirable, but will do little to lift their spirit and self confidence.
What they are entitled to is proper preparation in all respects so when they play their hearts out, they get the results they deserve. Step up and take responsibility TTFA.
I said before that Haiti is a far poorer nation than us, but they use the FIFA grants to prepare their teams. We MUST do the same.
Yeah. Nobody questions the effort from the girls. It is the others who have to take a long hard look at themselves.
“I think the girls played their heart out tonight and [I’m] very satisfied that they gave of their best. We know we’ve got to make a better preparation going forward and try to prepare a team that can be more intense in the battles.”

Under 20 female “girls”……ok then
Well done documentary. Congratulations Wired 868✅✅✅
Thanks Carol.
Well you know that you know the subject eh Ian R Briggs and you have the lens for potentially great players eh.
I like her confidence but imo she needs a little more work technically and tactically to back up the talk and the hype…. dont get me wrong she has confidence and potential to be something special… again I hope I am wrong on this….
I am ready
Good luck ladies. Keep your shape, team that is, going forward and in defense. But most of all, stay alert between those two phases so that you can transition well and hopefully better than the opposition.
Easy Asha James
Good luck ladies red white and black all the way
Good luck ladies I wish u all the best give your all for your country we need sumting to cheer to be proud about nothing in country but negatives murders crime do this for the red white and black show the politician corporate Trinidad and Tobago why they should support our sports men and ladies and they should invest in sports heavily red white and black all the way
i like the positive can do attitude of the young ladies. Especially Aaliyah Prince – “you have to come real good to stop this #10”. None of the stupid talk about ‘we just want to be competitive’. These women are thinking winning. I just wish, like the coach. that there could have been more exposure to top class games during preparation
Exactly. Especially playing at home, it would have been great if they had everything they needed to succeed. But I certainly wish them the best and will support the team.
Buh A A the player Ellis is from my second sweetest country…lol
Her dad is friends to a few of us on this page. He played for our youth national team but he will graciously say this is her time. Unfortunate injury.
We will replay this at the end of the tournament. And then analyze what was said.
from what I saw madame prince is not ready for this age group…. not sure why the hoopla but hey hope i am wrong…. big miss that Amaya will not be with the back 4…. hope for a speedy recovery….. Mark Ellis
That’s a bad injury … hope she has a speedy recovery and hope she’s being taken care of correctly.
Ian, Aaliyah’s brashness is encouraging though. Fingers crossed for her that she learns quickly.
Ah feel it for Amaya. Ah know she wanted to play so bad. She’ll be a massive miss but all the best and good luck to the young ladies
