Honduras booked a spot at the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying finals with a 5-0 win against Nicaragua

qualifying tournament.
Trinidad and Tobago plays Barbados today at 4 pm and Keon Daniel may make his first start for

met.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Caribbean...Jack Warner, the infamous former
CONCACAF boss and FIFA Vice-President, is back in the news.Still smarting from his banishment in
June after almost three decades in the corridors of football power, Warner has taken aim at Chuck
Blazer, his long-term colleague who reported him to the FIFA Ethics Committee for reasons hitherto
Shocking news coming out of the Caribbean this afternoon. News outlets in Panama are saying that
the Bahamas FA have announced that they have withdrawn from the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying
tournament. The announcement came in the form of a memorandum sent by FIFA's head of Qualifying
Competitions to the Panamanian FA.
The investigations into FIFA's corrupt practices continue, and the attention has again been
focused on American Chuck Blazer.
Andrew Jennings, one of soccer's most outspoken reformers, released a new detailed report
yesterday with a laundry list of accusations against Blazer and his lavish lifestyle.

ELIZABETH, New Jersey -- The Caribbean champ will clash with its Central American counterpart when
Honduras meets Jamaica.
Tuesday night in the 2011 Gold Cup saw two Caribbean teams, Jamaica and Grenada, and two Central
American teams, Honduras and Guatemala, play each other in Group B action at the Home Depot Center
in Southern California.
The night's opening match between Jamaica and Grenada continued the one sided, multi goal scoring
match that started the tournament in Arlington, Texas on Sunday night.
After Jack Warner (Pres. CONCACAF) was suspended by FIFA pending full investigation acting Pres.
Lisle Austin tried to suspend Chuck Blazer for accusing Warner. Blazer remains as General Secretary
as the Pres. does not have the power to choose the Gen Sec.
Now Austin has been suspended, likely for his attempted power grab.
On Sunday, St Lucia and Aruba will start the World Cup qualifying cycle which begins with matches
between Caribbean micro-states and concludes with inter-confederation playoffs in late 2013.
Whereas in previous cycles the first-round winners of the CONCACAF qualifiers would face another
two-leg series followed by certain elimination, the winners of this round will be rewarded with
more competitive matches and more home matches, and challenged with increased travel all over the
region.
The CONCACAF Congress has been taking place in Miami this week, and the proceedings have been
dominated by the CONCACAF executive elections and the impending FIFA elections. To the surprise of
no one, Jack Warner ran unopposed for a sixth term as CONCACAF President, and he was elected
unaminously. The other positions on the executive committee were contested, and here are the
results: CONCACAF VP North America: Justino Compeán (Mexico) CONCACAF VP Central America: Ariel
Alvarado (Panama) CONCACAF VP Caribbean: Lisle Austin (Barbados) FIFA Executive Committee, Central
American region: Rafael Salguero (Guatemala) The Executive Committee also approved its own
expansion.
You could be forgiven for thinking there is only one English-born player currently turning out for
Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS.
Given that the player in question is David Beckham, arguably the most famous footballer of his
generation, you can understand why.
But there is another, and it charts another remarkable chapter in the football career of Chris
Birchall.
I have an interesting Guest Post today from an Arsenal fan in the Caribbean who is known as Swagger
on Just Arsenal. He is very worried that the usual "meaningless friendlies" could have an adverse
affect on what could be the most crucial month of the season. Over to Mr Swagger......

USL PRO Postseason Format UnveiledEight teams to advance following 180-game regular seasonTAMPA, Fla. – United Soccer Leagues unveiled the postseason format for the 2011 USL PRO
season today. The format, approved by a vote of the USL PRO Board of Governors, will see eight
clubs advancing to the postseason in 2011.
Today, in the Copa Centroamericana (one of approximately 80 international tournaments currently
in progress around the world), the 5th place match was won by Guatemala over Nicaragua. Why, you
may ask, should those outside of one of those two countries pay any mind at all to that fact? The
answer is that 5th place in that particular Copa came with a bonus the final invite to the 2011
CONCACAF Gold Cup.
