Title: Your Top 5 T&T World Cup Memories (good or bad)
Post by: sin on March 30, 2006, 06:50:34 AM
Hi all

Some of you know that I blog for the T&T World Cup Blog (http://trinidadtobago.worldcupblog.org). I'd like to do a post on the top T&T World Cup memories. Feedback would be welcome. I'd attribute anything that I use on the blog to this thread/forum.

To kick things off, a couple of mine are (in no particular order)

- Kelvin Jack's last second save against Bahrain
- Dennis Lawrence's goal
- Being five years old and crying because we'd lost to the USA in 1989. And having no idea why I was crying except that everyone else around me was too.

- latapy last minute winner vs mexico in de oval

Breds that game was in the Stadium......fix the memory, Nice!


Caliguri fluke that "I were blinded" didnt save. I sit down stunned with the thousands of others in the stadium that day.

The fluke bullet that Tyrone Marshall hit Shaka from the top of the box vs JA. We was running JA right tru and well sadly we never recover after that loss.

Stern throw away penalty vs Mexico.......I never hear one man get cuss so from a whole nation in Unison. YES STern I cuss yuh too!.... It was amazing. He get a............ what the MC wrong with this Fkin man boy..this damn $h!thong. Watch meh if he did get a dollar for each cuss he collect he woulda win the thread as the richest sportsman in T&T.

When the Quatemalan rest it on we to make the score 2-1 with 18 minutes to go.After we in control of things.... I watch the clock, andre Samuel and Cowen and bend down meh head and cry. That was meh lowest point of the campaign........good thing it only last about 10 min.

The Latapy Bullet vs Mexico in the STADIUM

Dennis Lawrence header vs Bahrain. Also I blaming Latapy for giving us so much heartache...he shoulda score. If he did do that all the talk bout Jack save and the chupidness Jack put down after woulda be inconsequential.......But Nov 16, 2005. Have to be the happiest day of my life on this earth thus far.



Watch meh this WC thing do so much for this country eh and we ent realise...........even this message board.  New posters, You know how much insults and put down and bad talk we used to have to defend here from everybody in Concacaf. Everybody used to say all the Yorke and Latapy alyuh never make a WC...................and they used to hit yuh that line as the trump card and discredit every little football achievement we ever do.
When I tell yuh we used to get fightdown here right tru.

Alyuh wouldnt know this but Sam, was we Hero and Champion of the message board in them days. This I think is one reason why all the older posters have a sense of brotherhood that doe exist now.........it used to be 30 of we Against the World here, and we used to battle it out with the limited resources and sporting achievements the warriors had at that point in time. Imagine we cussing out Canadians and telling them they side is shit because we win we first two games ever against them....while they jest win Gold Cup and make a WC already. Doe talk about the Jamaicans and RF.....that come like the battle for middle earth and we squad is a band of Hobbits minus Frodo and the ring and Gandaulf.


Thanks you warriors for quieting the haters

1. Kerry Jamerson's winner in the Stadium against Guatemala- '89
2. Losing to the U.S. 0-1 -Nov 19 '89
3. Beating Mexico 2-1 in the final hex game in this last campaign
4. De big lime in continental restaurant- Brooklyn, for the Guatemala home game- this last campaign
5. Beating Bahrain in Bahrain to qualify for WC 2006.
Title: Re: Your Top 5 T&T World Cup Memories (good or bad)
Post by: Marcos on March 30, 2006, 10:31:32 AM
Top 5:
1. Stern Winner against Meh-hico
2. Stern equalizer against Meh-hico. We all thought it was over, don't front.
3. Dennis header in Bahrain
4. Birchie Goalaso to equalize against Bahrain. Everybody head was dong before dat, doh forget.
5. The entire Guatemala game in Continental Cafe esp when the feed cutoff and we didn't know if we had scored the winner or   not...drama for days that yuh just cyah script.

Bottom 5:
1. Final whistle Nov 19, 1989. Cuz before d whistle we always thought that we woulda come back.
2. Mexico goin one up in our cruciall last group match.
3. Guatemala takin a 2-1 lead. Men was askin why and how. Trinidad playin the best we have played in yrs with both legends in the lineup but still losin.
4. Bahraini kickin d ball outta Jack hands and scorin. Honestly, I eh care wha d rule is, daz good goal. If we had do dat and it get call back we woulda be cussin and Jack woulda be callin dem fellas in FIFA.
5. Latas gettin chop down by a friggin' costa rican in d oval in d first WCQ for d 98 cup. Everybody thought qualification was a surety after beatin Norway in a friendly and having a squad boasting Latas, Wise, Nakhid, Dwarikah, and other gifted players. Latas get tack on his foot and gone off injured in the first half. I eh go lie, I wanted to cry. I hope ppl remember dat game. I still think that was our strongest squad. Vranes was the coach. If Beenie had coach dat ppl woulda be sayin we gonna win the cup

What I meant was, in my opinion, it shouldn't be considered a foul despite what the official rule is. I think any sensible football fan could see that Jack was in no danger (hence NO FOUL) and the fact that it was called a foul was merely a technicality which many would consider harsh.

ANyway doh distract from the thread. It goin dece. I gonna try to roll through to see dat game

Lemmeh just say meh piece and ah go let de thread continue in peace... if that is not ah foul.... then it would encourage players to do it regularly which would put keepers in danger of injury...

AND Jack was in danger there... he never followed through... imagine if he did what would have happened... he coulda break he foot and de bahraini might dead!!  :o

ok carry on

For me, it is a tie between

1. Stern JOhn's two goals in the last 10 minutes against guatemala,

2. Stern John's second goal against Mexico for us to win 2-1, and

3. Latapy bullet in de STadium that send we crazy against mexico in 2000.



My worst moments were

1. De goal dat Bahrain score

2. Paul Caluguri goal

3. Stern Miss penalty against mexico

Ps: Touches, when ah read yuh post, ah remember de exact feeling we had in dat game!!

My best

1) Must be Dennis Lawrence's goal against Bahrain!

2) Nov 19. the scoreboard read "TNT we love you still" (whose ever idea it was give him the trinity cross

3) 2 goals from Kerry Jameson, setup by latas "DE KERRY" in the 89 campaign

4) Latas goal against Guatemala in 2005

5) Earl "spiderman" Carter's recovery after he made a save in the first game in the 1989 campaign against the US.He use do this lil flip up.

nice thread smi

My pleasure. I'll be posting the top responses either over the weekend or on Monday.

Question: there are many, many Trini fans out there like me - people too young to remember the details of 1989 (and definitely having no idea about anything in the 70s). What resources, if any, are available to people who want to see these goals for themselves? Experience the games and the places? Do archives exist?

1) Lawrence goal against Bahrain. I knew we had it in the bag after that
2) Birchall's gollaso/scorcher against Bahrain
3) The game against Guatemala in the Hex, a real emotional roller coaster.
4) The Honduras game after Trotman's death, we inexplicably won that game and effectively helped Mexico qualify and knocked Honduras out.
5) Latapy bullet against Mexico.

The bad moments, too many to itemise.

My most vivid memories...

1)Stern double against mexico this rounds
2)Stern double against Guatemala
3)Latas bullet to beat Mexico 1-0 in 2001
4)Clayton Morris own goal at home against JA that end up knocking us out of qualifying for either 98 or 94, in the earlies..we lose 2-1 on aggregate, drawing 1-1 home and losing 1-0 away
5)1989...especially watching Dwight Yorke cry and wanting to cry too but jus had a big lump in my throat
6)The country the day we qualify...the car horns blowing, the bars whole night, the flags waving, ducking work...

When Guatemala turned down Bahrain a friendly in respect of T&T and we where the same ones that knocked them out. That showed true support and I will always respect Guatemala for that, because they needed the money and could have spite T&T in the process also and they didn't. Cant say the same for Jamaica though.

And Stern John double vs Guatemala and Mexico in the 2005 WCQ's. Apart from Dwight Yorke's contribution Stern John was second best because he scored when it mattered most and should be awarded for it.

In chronological order:

1973, nine years old, living in Point Fortin,Trinidad and Tobago watching T&T being robbed in Haiti, feeling really sad because my entire household was depressed. Imagine watching some of your childhood football heros on the pitch crying(I'm saddened just writing about it now).

1989, 25 years old and the nightmare that is T&T WC qualifing is revisited...OH JAH!!... more depression.

2001(?) T&T's football team destroys Canada in the home and away on goal aggregate 6-0...very pleased. Haul Dey Ass!!


2001(?) watching T&T's football team beat Mexico 1-0 in Trini...no Mexican can ever talk football sh#t to me ever again. I could always remind them of '73 and '01.

2006 Unable to watch the T&T/ Mex game 2 live and being texted the highlights/lowlights...Imagine the emotional rollercoaster one goes thru reading "Stern miss penalty" "ah want to kill him"  "Mexico scores" then "Stern scores" and "Stern scores again"  "game done, Trini win"   and bawling like ah madman. ;D

In chronological order:

1973, nine years old, living in Point Fortin,Trinidad and Tobago watching T&T being robbed in Haiti, feeling really sad because my entire household was depressed. Imagine watching some of your childhood football heros on the pitch crying(I'm saddened just writing about it now).

1989, 25 years old and the nightmare that is T&T WC qualifing is revisited...OH JAH!!... more depression.

2001(?) T&T's football team destroys Canada in the home and away on goal aggregate 6-0...very pleased. Haul Dey Ass!!


2001(?) watching T&T's football team beat Mexico 1-0 in Trini...no Mexican can ever talk football sh#t to me ever again. I could always remind them of '73 and '01.

2006 Unable to watch the T&T/ Mex game 2 live and being texted the highlights/lowlights...Imagine the emotional rollercoaster one goes thru reading "Stern miss penalty" "ah want to kill him"  "Mexico scores" then "Stern scores" and "Stern scores again"  "game done, Trini win"   and bawling like ah madman. ;D

dan yuh ole like de raod.

yuh have ah birthpaper or ah scroll :rotfl:

In London, the game started at 12am and no bars were showing it. So worse than following the game on text is actually following it solely on the facial expressions of another man who following it on text message. And ever try calling people in the stadium to get a rundown? yuh cyah hear nutten over de crowd noise, then they just give up and say, "ah go call yuh back" leaving yuh hanging in foreign!!
