« Notre objectif est de renforcer notre consistance et de réaliser un nouveau bon match face à la Nouvelle-Zélande », déclare l’entraîneur-chef de la sélection féminine senior, Even Pellerud.
The top teams in the North, Central America and Caribbean Zone started down the road to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ this weekend. And while most contests went according to the script or thereabouts, there were a few shocks, most notably Trinidad and Tobago’s 2-1 loss to rank outsiders Bermuda on home soil.
Of the eight Round 2 first leg matches played on Sunday, T&T’s defeat was by far the most surprising. Without injured Sunderland hit-man Kenwyne Jones, new boss Francisco Maturana’s Soca Warriors looked out of sorts from the start, and they found themselves a goal down after only eight minutes thanks to the predatory instincts of journeyman striker John Barry Nusum.
