The following is a press statement from former Trinidad and Tobago Men’s National Senior Team assistant coach and goalkeeper coach and 2006 World Cup goalkeeper Kelvin Jack CM: I would like to take the time to thank the fans for their incredible support during my short tenure as an assistant …

I have chosen to publicly break my silence about the current impasse between United TTFA and FIFA. In my opinion, the atmosphere around our football reeks of toxicity. When Fifa appointed the normalisation committee, my first reaction was one of genuine surprise. I made that known to the president William …

Our Russia 2018 World Cup campaign is now complete and the summary of the Hex results makes for some grim reading: played 10, won 2, drawn 0, lost 8. We scored seven goals and conceded 19. Yes, NINETEEN! Let’s compare that with our statistics in 2005: played 10, won 4, …

The final nail was hammered in the Trinidad and Tobago National Senior Team’s coffin in Panama. To be brutally honest we were not good enough administratively, technically or tactically and we lacked the level of discipline required to qualify for a World Cup finals. This is not a new problem …

When will things …

The final round of Russia 2018 World Cup qualifying games have begun and it’s obvious that our start has been poor. But the question is: Why? There is a very simple answer. These teams in the Hex are better than us technically and we haven’t been tactically astute enough to …

We played two quality international games against Peru and Uruguay in the last few days and the results were disappointing but not really surprising. Let’s talk about the Peru game first. We played Peru back in 2006 and drew 1-1. They were excellent on a technical level but we were …

Is goalkeeping in trouble in Trinidad and Tobago? I think so and I’ll offer a bit of evidence: We no longer have any goalkeepers playing in the top European leagues. This means our goalkeepers are not exposed to top quality strikers, coaching and tactical systems. In the past we had …

I’m extremely disappointed that, for the second occasion, a letter that we spent a lot of thought and time on seems to have been ignored by Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
