It seems like a case of déjà vu for the senior national women footballers. Four years ago, a few days before the start of the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers for the 2015 FIFA World Cup in Canada, out of frustration the then coach Randy Waldrum pleaded with the TTFA to show his players respect. He tweeted “I need HELP! T&T sent a team here last night with $500 total. No equipment such as balls, no transportation from the airport to the hotel, nothing.” Waldrum's response/reaction or 'emotional disturbance' was brought about by administrative blunders by the TTFA. The Haitian team provided temporary relief by donating US$ 1300.00 to the national team to meet basic needs such as food and transportation.
