Sealy fancies Warriors’ chances
KANSAS CITY: Kansas City Wizards striker Scott Sealy, recalled to the Trinidad and Tobago team for the all important World play-off against Bahrain later this month, is ready to play his part in his country’s historic bid to reach Germany next year. The 24-year old missed the last two CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers but after producing a prolific spell of scoring in the MLS, was given another chance by head coach Leo Beenhakker. Sealy is likely to join the current strike force including Stern John and Dwight Yorke as the Soca Warriors seek to beat Bahrain to claim their first ever spot at the World Cup. "I think it’s the toughest position right now on the team because we’re playing with one forward, basically, and then it’s however the other guy is going to complement the other forward. So it was kind of up in the air who was going to be his backup," Sealy said. "I didn’t get a specific reason, but I did well in training. It was a coach’s decision." Trinidad and Tobago will meet Bahrain on November 12 in Port-of-Spain before travelling to the Arabian Gulf for the return leg on November 16. "I think us playing at home first will be an advantage because they have to fly all the way to the Caribbean to play. And then it will be up for grabs going back to their place," Sealy surmised. "I think (the Mexico win) is serving us right now with everybody expecting us to get the job done, but I don’t think (Bahrain) is any walkover team. They definitely did well enough to get to this point, so they’re going to be a good team. But our chances are just as good as theirs."
