I will be in the minority here but I disagree with this move on the players' part. If you are going to boycott, do it before you show up. Thinking of the whole football program, not playing in the final can have a devastating effect on our national teams as it could affect all of our programs. Some would say it's greed (I wouldn't), some would stay strategy (I agree) but ultimately, if you playing football for T&T and don't understand the dynamics, you are joking. Everyone's eyes are wide shut apparently. This is why all of our teams will continually suffer. Playing for your country is not about money, it is about pride. Not saying you shouldn't get paid, everyone should, but if you are truly looking for money, play for yuh damn club and don't come. We will always be in a cat and mouse game. While I don't support the current administration, in reality the TTFA is a microcosm of our society in that all we do is depend on the gov't.
Madness. Alyuh want men to just show up and play. This is not Savannah football. This is how men make they living. Alyuh is jokers yes. Could never follow that logic that playing for country is about pride. That's part of it, a big part of it but yuh cyah have pride and be hungry.
They should just say they eh playing before the tourney so the TTFA can exploit a young player who trying to make it. That is the reason we will never reach no where, because of people who think like you in not understanding the modern game and how to be competitive in it.
Explain how the players depending on the government for a handout? The TTFA who "employ" them to come play. Is the TTFA they challenging, how doe that equal to a government dependency on the players part?
Men just want to see football and don't care about players.
And by the way, we have no National Football Programs, never had and apparently never will. We always had National team, but never programs.
