Sport 'We could have won,' says Tappa Friday, February

[Assasin]

Tappa did unlikely to tie Mexico too. You need to give the man them a chance to prove themselves. All 3 so far proving to be credible coaches.

[Mosiah]

Hey, no need to apologise! If we can find a way to create goals minus Hue, why would I be against that. Hue will be 35 in June!

[Sir X]

Your opinion , Tappa has proven himself , he has won cups and advanced beyond a crucial WC stage as player and coach.

Coaches need standards and goals to be judged, this messanic nonsense gets you no where.

Hodgson needs to win the damm world cup for my opinion to change of him, BR needs to get us to CL & win a cup to change my opinion, playing pretty ball is for the mediocre types like you...MIDTABLE MENTALITY i call it.

[Assasin]

The problem is with your kind of support they will never be able to. make it much harder. You see what happening to Rafa at Chelsea?

[Jawge]

True dat. All respect is due to the Prof. but Tappa has achieved what no other coach has achieved for Ja ( first time win against the US and a draw in the Azteca). I would really like to hear from those that usually call Tappa a dunce

[TheDread]

Nosworthy, Mariappa, McClearly and McCanuff mi thank unnu for joining the Rboyz. I don't really know the others but the Englishmen raised Ja's game. Mi always wonder why teams like Brasil just go in the Azteca and boss roun tings, now mi know.

Imagine what Ja could achieve if the team was properly funded and was able to camp in Brasil?

Who is No.12? Boss thank you for that last second bicycle kick to clear that ball because that could have been the goal of he game.

Yes Mattocks was needed because as I said Ja needed that clinical, calm predator in front of the goal in big games. To be fair to Mattocks he hasn't been given those chances I saw with mexico (to do what he does best). In the caribbean cup not even Romario or R9 could score playing for Ja then.

One of the unsung heroes was Elliott playing in the DM role. 12 is Philips.

A guess yuh going to his burt-night party.

[HL]

Exactly!!

Tappa got professionals who understood what it meant to execute a plan (without deviation).

Lesser talent would have folded. The praise must be split 50/50.

I am sure this is a motivation for the the local BoyZ to improve.

[Muadib]

unruly fellow !

[Jawge]

Yes sah big up to Phillips.The whole team went out there and fought like true warriors. Mi big up the whole team of the day.

[Jawge]

At one point when I said it wasn't Tappa's fault (because he shouldn't have to teach ball control and ball possession) most said no Tappa is a dunce and has no clue to the game. Ah well

[Jawge]

Dunny I hope you are not taking that Brasil game into consideration. More on that later, right now ah di mexico game ah run di cut.

[Rockman]

Tappa's success in Mexico mirrors his in beating the USA,yet....
His abilities were never in question,what remains uncertain is how he will react to less favorable results;will he revert to being driven madly by desperation or will he display sound judgment?
Judging from his absolute admiration for Ricketts' performance..,it is clear, the keeper booting the ball out was part of the plan to capitalize on height advantage.
Tappa has done very well.
