Vicente said he would implore every high office to intercede on the FFB's behalf – including the Prime Minister. But, he won't have much luck going to the Minister of State with responsibility for Sports, Herman Longsworth. Today, Longsworth told us squarely that the FFB is to blame:..
Hon. Herman Longsworth
"I am extremely concerned, I am very very disappointed. We were all told that the field would be ready. FFB told us that they would have had this field ready. We were expecting that it would be ready and i'm disappointed that it is not, i'm very disappointed."

"Does the blame fall on the FFB?"
Hon. Herman Longsworth
"It has to, it's their field, the onus was on them to complete it. It was their monies, monies they got from FIFA that they were to use to complete the field. I have no idea why it was not completed, they kept saying it would be complete. I saw a letter saying it would be complete, I don't know what happened."
He did say, however, that while the stadium won't be ready for 2014, it will most definitely be ready by next season. We'll wait and see.
