The home of Trinidad and Tobago football
This is the only way to describe the events leading up to the October 8 slaughter in Mexico City, now that we have heard the official explanations. Unfortunately for the excuse makers, what they had to say only served to unleash an even more volatile fusillade of public condemnation.
WELL the Games of the 27th Olympiad have now been consigned to history: the various athletes came, saw and conquered, millions of sporting fans experienced the joy of witnessing dozens of great achievements – either live or via television – and the countdown to Athens 2004 is already three days old.
IT has happened before…will it occur now?
THE Trinidad and Tobago national team simply carried on from where it left off against Panama, with a confident and dominant performance against Gold Cup champions Canada in its semi-final round World Cup qualifier, last Sunday.
IT was everything that was required, and much, much more.
FORGET about the status of last week's opponents, the fact of the matter is that the Trinidad and Tobago national team, seemingly in a crisis two months ago, is now on a hot streak of form.
IT was a great result but, unfortunately, not a great performance.
THIS week’s World Cup-qualifying tie with Panama marks the official end of the “freeness” for coach Ian Porterfield.
WHILE this country has seen its share of notable football matches over the past century, no game on local soil, before or since, has been able to capture the level of national attention generated by the World Cup qualifier between Trinidad and Tobago and the U.S.A. on November 19, 1989.
