A PENALTY and a controversial goal at the Hasely Crawford Stadium yesterday evening earned Trinidad and Tobago a place in the 2001 Copa Caribe final at the expense of Cuba. Though the “Soca Warriors” played most of the game in their own half of the field and ended with just ten men, they triumphed 2-0.

TRINIDAD and Tobago kick-start their Copa Caribe title defence from 8 p.m. tonight at the newly opened Larry Gomes Stadium in Arima where the locals take on Barbados in the second match of a doubleheader.

The Martiniquans did so by scoring a shock 2-1 win over defending champion Trinidad and Tobago in the second match of a Group A double-header at Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo.

In the Summer of 1983 Trinidad & Tobago hosted the U-16 CONCACAF Championships. At the end of the tournament, football in TT was never the same again.

BUOYED by their 2-1 win over arch-rivals Jamaica, the national football team will bid to maintain their 100 per cent record this evening at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain.

IT wasn’t just how badly Trinidad and Tobago performed, but the extent to which it was outplayed by the home side in San Jose, last week.

IAN PORTERFIELD'S job at the helm of the Trinidad and Tobago senior football team is safe.

TRINIDAD and Tobago skipper Russell Latapy believes his team can still achieve its dream of reaching a first ever World Cup Finals.
