Do all Trinis who live in England,Canada or U.S. Support the warriors?

[JayTheWrecker]

sago pinto, as soon as i read your post i thought of my brother-in-law who lives by you in Pembroke Pines. Perhaps you know him? his name is Bobby Singh originally from Chaguanas and he's a deputy Sheriff in Dade County. Anyways, Bobby emigrated to USA when he was 16 or 17 and applied for citizenship and thing and even joined the US Marines. He's about 30 years old now and is a full Yank with American accent, Stars and Stripes flying outside his bungalow, Silverado pickup with a US Marine licence number holder and so on and so forth. And yeah, he rooting for USA over T&T in World Cup. Don't understand it myself but that's just the way it is  

so much for maintaining some anonymity........

you saying i shouldn't have posted my brother-in-law's name and thing on the internet because he might get stalked and shit by some internet pervert?

no worries on that score, remember my bro-in-law is a Deputy Sheriff and and former US Marine and i'm sure i speak for him when i say [american accent]"BRING IT ON!!  [/american accent]

Andre as much as it irks me to say this I understand with what yuh saying,and I also agree with the ever articulate Kicker" we must stop generalising" but unfortunately it is what it is there's no identity no self pride.

Now I've asked many trinis this question how do you measure your success since living in united states:Here's the answer from about 50% of them:If you see 5 bedroom house I have,also I drive a bmw sport and my wife a escalade,we have three dogs a mastiff, golden retriver and a pit bull.

Notice how you did'nt hear anything about education or success as it relates to helping out other trinis,only there own self interest........

I don't think observing a trend is generalising.

[kicker]

I don't think observing a trend is generalising.

observing a trend is not generalizing....but making a general, all-inclusive statement based on a limited observation, without qualifying it.......is generalizing....no horrors though, because we are all guilty of it from time to time....

[chelsea64]

There is not a single Trini in London that I know that is not supporting Trinidad not one dam one.

Same with me. All teh Trinis I know are supporting the Warriors.

[supporter]

do trinis abroad support the warriors??  umm yeah. anybodyyou encoutered that says otherwise is a smal small minority

[AB.Trini]

The motivation for the question is a familair refrain and begs one to explore the sesnse of national identity and  patriotic well being for  ones native land.

The question itself is a little absurb to use an inclusive term like 'all'' gives rise to a simple answer No.

Is like saying do allTNT nationals drink Solo? do all eat Roti? do all Trinis go to the beach? Of course not 'all who live abroad are supporters.

Look we have  two TNT organizations in Calgary and not one of these organizations organized a lime for any of the qulayfying games. I would have  loved to be among TNT nationals watching the game; instead I ended up in a pub with soem people who could not care one bit!!!!!

Another question might be "DO MOST TNT nationals abroad  support?

[StoreBayLimer]

I know of a lot of Americans, Panamanians, Belizians, etc who are supporting T&T.

[Pompey]

Well, you can count on one Englishman's support (with the exception of one game).

Will there be a "Lime" for the game in Slough?

[Rastaman]

Yes they all do now....but how many are waggonists...!!!!!

Of course I introdused him to socawarriors.net...

all the trinis that i know personally in columbia, sc support the warriors.  i also talk to them regularly about the warrior nation and about this site.

[emanu]

im a trini who lives in england and im backing the warriors, i've been backing them since i was small and ma friends would laugh when i go around saying dat i scoring like yorke and stern running the mifield like lats! but i'll have the last laugh come the final whistle and TNT beat england!

[AB.Trini]

Westcoast leh meh know some names I out in these parts since; well over 18 years.

[Mose]

De start of de World Cup will make it 22 years since I leave home. I'm now a Canadian citizen and I doubt I will ever move back but I will be backing T&T in de World Cup.
Mih aunt who leave home 40 years ago, she go be backing T&T.
Mih mother who leave home 30 years ago and eh really know nutten about football go be backing T&T.
Mih uncle who leave home about 50 years now and barely ever look back often doh have much good to say about T&T go be backing T&T in de World Cup.
Mih wife cousin, who born here from a Vincy father and a Trini mother, he backing T&T.
De caterer fuh mih wedding, he backing T&T. BTW he is a trini too.
And de Indian fellah who own de roti shop around de corner, he backing T&T too.

Dem is just a sampling of some of de people ah could vouch for. Now ah sure it have dem who could care less or who would prefer to back other countries. Like Marc say it have 3 kinds, but I know where I stand.

Unfortunately I must disagree...I know at least three that know T&T in the WC but supporting OTHER teams....and another four who doh even know T&T in Germany, mind yuh I doh think them four even know what happening in Germany, so technically I suppose they would support T&T if they cared about football but currently they seem totally disinterested!. Of the three who actively supporting other teams they all married to Europeans and supporting their adopted homelands. I aint brave like some people who calling out man by name so you go have to take my word fuh this. I know quite a few Trini's who sever all links with T&T once they lef the country and dey accent change in about they time it take fuh the plane to taxi out to Piacro runway fuh takeoff....these are the sort of individuals I am talking about sadly! Yet dey does still comeback fuh Carnival 

Generally the majority of Trini's I know in the UK supporting T&T and while they being fairly realistic about our teams performance in the tournament still quite excited about the whole thing.

Mose, I know yuh caterer quite well, and he does back and support anything or anybody Trini....Cricket, swimming, somebody chile studying, carnival....buh ah could tell yuh for a fact, if T&T didn't make it, he and many TTians     in this city would jus be backing another team, dah's all...Dey don't really care to get stress over why, cause given the whole situation of T&T, they feel they can't change much, or change enough to affect T&T football, which they know in reality is a very small part in the critical aspects of mant T&Tians lives.....

[john_public]
