Jamatl how many times am I going to tell you the competition will most probably be held in Martinique and it is the host nation that have the privilege to set the dates ? We have already hear a press releases from antilles-sports in french , you for one knows the CFU/CONCACAF have always changing dates , so we cannot rely on CFU Website we have to rely on briefs coming out of Martinique. I have told you who to talk to so you should'nt have a problem .

November 17 2010 is a FIFA Match Date(4 Days B4 Tourney) we can play an away game in the eastern Caribbean ... left to who qualifies for the Martinique Round . We also have JFF Election coming up around that time , I am keeping my fingers cross for Burrell .

Yes, the timing is crucial at least we will be able to play at least one strong friendly before the tournament starts with the players will be in the final squad. Also, our full squad will be together at least by Nov. 13, 2010.

I've no idea, and I doubt jonny does as he took that from a post of mine elsewhere (could've sworn I posted it here as well). Maybe the participating nations signed a non-disclosure agreement, though I don't know why they would have.

it is Ironic that Cuba did not enter 2009 Gold cup , instead there was a exact coin toss up between the Federations of Haiti , Trinidad and Tobago which haiti won . Cuba have always been a good caribbean team and they are likely to host a Group .

Thats what I thought when I read that but Grenada's keeper in the game was Desmond Noel, who is 35 years old
Theworm am not saying you are wrong about Desmond Noel but the Grenada Broadcasting Network said The Grenada U23 Team are preparing for the CAC Games , it did not said anything about Grenada hosting a DCC Group in October with Trinidad & Tobago NT , unless the TTFF which is one of the more powerful soccer Association in the Caribbean knew about Grenada's prospect of hosting a Group which will involve Trinidad & Tobago NT . Besides , The qualifying Rounds of the Tournament are poorly organized . We should have knew the Groups and full details about the Tournament from the CFU Congress in Febuary . We are hearing from people who have called Digicel ,TTFF etc saying nothin until August .

The tournament should feature more full time professional players this year from Haiti, Jamiaca, Trinidad, Grenada and St. Vincent and Grenadines, Martinique and Guadelope.
Can anyone confirm if Puerto Rico is participating?
