I bet you wept and cursed when C.R. had shrek send off. Pity that you can't see it's no more than we deserved for cheating the more exciting "little team" in the first place!!! Firstly, its Socca not Soccer, and Socca Warriors is to do with their location and not their version or pronouncement of football ( as anyone who frequents this or any other T&T website would already know ). Secondly, with a decent ref the 3 points will only be going in one direction ... away from England. And Thirdly, we've not even reached the final of either the World Cup or even the European Championship since 1966 and that was 40 YEARS ago!!! We played terrible throughout the tournament, scored half the number that Germany, Spain or Argentina did and was so bad that after our last game Beckham quit as captain. No, Football Giants we aint!!! The rest of the world is fast overtaking us and its already got to the stage where our "beloved" own premiership league has more foreign stars than domestic. But enough about our failures and correcting you, this is about T&T. The Warriors played with more heart and determination than most teams this time round. Just like Ivory Coast who were unlucky enough to be put up against some very stiff opposition, playing as well as they did they could have easily progressed if they had been drawn in a different group. Next time round, with more preparation and with further backing from their supporters and government alike I look forward in 2010 to seeing them reaching the second round ... at least. Vibe it up, things are just beginning to get interesting !!! Abz … you are a complete moron.

England is looking so ... so ... what's the word ...? Dreadful? The game against us didn't look at all like an easy 3 points; seemed to me like they were fighting for it. Good luck against the big boys - Germany, Argentina and Brazil. Anyway, I hope we can continue the work we've started here and not backslide. Looking ahead to 2010. :) Oh Abz – how sad I am for you.
