Comments on: US vs. Trinidad & Tobago – New Dynamics http://theshinguardian.com/2009/09/08/us-trinidad-tobago-all-dynamics/ 22 players, 1 ball, high quality commentary Mon, 28 May 2012 06:11:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Kevin http://theshinguardian.com/2009/09/08/us-trinidad-tobago-all-dynamics/#comment-812 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 21:28:20 +0000 http://theshinguardian.com/?p=2190#comment-812 you can’t set the bar that low because then we’ll be saying at least we made it out of the group stages while other teams are saying we only made it out of the group stages. winning is not the only important thing. Is there any excuse to lose to T&T? I don’t think so. so why not shoot for the stars it’s not gonna do you any worse to have a goal of blowing them away than it is to have a goal of lets just try to win on the road because in order to blow them away you have to win first. If you blow them away you achieve both.

He has to travel with the team because of Bradley’s knack for cards. Rico also could come on as a sub to try to bunker down and defend the rest of the game as Beckerman did against ES. Findley would be a very good option with his speed, but according to Davies’ twitter his leg feels better now. Spector probably should get a shot at LB now. I’m not a big fan of doing that, but I think he’s your best LB and you have Dolo covering RB.

With Bob Bradley’s penchant for awarding hometown appearances (and capping in general), look for Findley to be on the game day roster and maybe make an appearance if the US is up by a couple.

An appearance for Findley would also solidify his connection to the USMNT and eliminate any possibility of him jumping ship to rep T&T in the future. Findley attended an U-23 camp for T&T in 2006 and has only played for the US senior team in a friendly, so he is not officially tied to the US yet.
