India may travel to Trinidad & Tobago
The Telegraph
The senior Indian football team could travel to Trinidad and Tobago in September for a three-match series, according to All India Football Federation (AIFF) sources.
“The national team have been invited to play three matches in Trinidad and Tobago though the exact venues are yet to be identified,” said an AIFF official. “We intend to take a full strength team for the exposure tour,” he said.
While the tour of Trinidad and Tobago would come after the World Cup qualifiers against United Arab Emirates (UAE), two more matches have been arranged as preparations before the UAE tie. On July 10, Armando Colaco’s boys would visit Male for a match against Maldives national team, followed by a friendly tie with Qatar in Doha on July 17.
However, the federation’s efforts to rope in Bangladesh to play against India in Delhi in the first week of July has fallen through.
Federation sources also said the proposed three-match India-Pakistan series in England could be postponed to August. India are expected to send the under-23 team in England.

aye,is ah whole bunch of maybe, and possibly going on, we maybe playing a friendly, a europen team, now maybe a central american team, now maybe india....
anyway, maybe we might get too see we boys line up and see if maybe there are improvements...
with de ttff, i say ah cld take brownsuga line of "we going to brazil," to ' we MAYBE GOIN BRAZIL." :beermug:

I think this is a great political move....maybe. After all, with a population with around half of East Indian descent I'm sure there will be a large crowd. Its not like, say, playing in London where most 2nd generation Tringlish would still support T&T or 2nd generation Nigerians would support Nigeria. I'm sure most East Indians would still support T&T.
By the way, apologies in advance if the region from which T&T East Indians originated is no longer part of India....I don't know my geopolitical history of that region too well, so no offence intended.
-
Say what allyuh want,I am glad that is not Latapy in charge coz it might well be a cutarse fuh we if that was the case.
-
if we get beat from india we aint deserve to b playin ball...jus sayin..

I think Indos came from different parts but were transported to Calcutta where the boats actually picked up most of them.I feel sure we had small amounts from Pakistan and Bangladesh,which then was all India.

Having it in Indai will mean none of our European based players can make it.
It may cancel out most of the US based as well.
Now that is not India's fault. But the jackasses that run our football couldn't plan a game in the international break. Congo just play Uruguay and we home jocking.

Maybe the U23 could take a sweat.
it may be a good game to full up the stands, them Indians roll deep to support the motherland.

When Last T&T play any match at all. Allyuh forgetting Grenada beat we or what ? We can't get any worse than not playing at all. We need to get back in the mode of playing football.

We can't make the semis of the CFU and we want to engage in internationals.
If Grenada and Guyan could have such confidence, why would it surprise you that India would want one.
I can't see them beating a full strength TT team. However, if we get tap up like we did in the CFU.
They could boast that they just beat an ex WC team. Akin to beating an opponent/has been. You could spin it as you like it.

Fellas - maybe some of you haven't seen India play recently? I actually saw all the games that they played in the Asian Cup here in Doha at the beginning of this year.
As a team the fight, grit and determination was praiseworthy, and they even scored some goals (3 in total) too - yes, they finished last in a group containing Bahrain, Australia (finalists) and Korea and got a right cut-a$$ in all the matches, but in fairness, I don't think we would have faired any better.
So - I don't think its a bad prospect, and I think India could give us a shock or two, and it will give us a wake-up call.

I have to agree with what Consultant have said coz I looked at the matches that India played, and comparing it to the ones we recently played I think India showed more fight and some skill in their matches in the Asian championships.We have to also consider that India have been also out of serious competittive football for quite some years,a match against TT,whose football is presently in the dumps might be good for India,it may also be good for us.Some posters on here had a laugh at India's appearance and beatings but I wonder if TT under Latapy would have done any better against full strenghts teams from Australia,Uzbekistan and N.Korea,I doubt it,seeing we cant beat Belize,yes man Belize that great power of Central American football.

Remember, Phister said when he first came here, he was the best opponent... :devil:
The way T&T playing, I feel India go beat we.. eh aint no better at this point.

I dont see this match against India as any sort of "climb dong" from the higher echelons of our past,"yuh reap what yuh sow" and right now nobody seems interested.India was beaten 4 nil by an Australian team with all their top players,so what if we try to go one better and beat them 5-0,I can see us calling some of our MLS players which would be helpful.

is not pfister that say we need quality opposition?

Hey People, I doh know what all d fuss is about!
Our football is currently at rock bottom so we need to humble ourselves and patiently climb our way from rock bottom back to somewhere decent on the world football latter.
We can no longer move up the FIFA rankings by not playing any decent opponents and so avoid losing games. Jack is no longer a powerful member of the FIFA executive with the ability to influence the FIFA rankings computer as was the theory of some men here!! ;)
We must start moving up by playing anybody who willing to play we!
If we regard the teams we get to play for now as nobody teams then we must distinguish ourselves by aiming to drop at least 3 goals on those nobody teams and to not concede any goals in the process.
Once we consistently beat these nobody teams handsomely then our rankings will rise and very soon the somebody teams of this world will start taking notice and calling for games, it’s that simple!
But for now beggars can't be choosers, anybody will do!!
So India or whoever willing to play we for now, please bring them on and give thanks, for after all the talk, football is played on the field and we cyah improve and become a world class team if we're not playing!!

Listen the TTFF need to bring down some big teams or at least have a few clubs play some preseason games down here to start back attracting interest.
Sad to say but don't let the TT side be the main attraction...let the opposition be the team that people coming to see.
You need a big drawing card.
The minimum the TTFF should go is a Jamaica....and in the scheme of things they are a shilling team, but at least they will pull a crowd.
I feel Pfister go ride out before he play he first friendly match.
-
Tell me what class opposition has bothered to come to TT in the last five years?
Peru - only becz we had qualified for the WC and England as a bribe to get a WC hosting from JW.
Should India come that's probably the best exhibition at home in the last three years. Shows you where we are that we have to be grateful for a game like this.
Our international program is a joke even when we had a FIFA VP funding us and pulling strings.

Don't say the team shitty and can only play a fellow shit side.

Bro, stop making sense nah. Most clubs now have all these international players and can beat most national teams. They train and stay together longer than all national teams. I would take a game from a club on pre-season than some national team who trying to keep up they FIFA rankings. Long ago all them club teams use to come home and play we. We guys used to get good practice. Chelsea, Nautico, St. Mirren, Hull city, Valencia(Ven), Santos, Villa, Arsenal, Cosmos, Flamengo. Maybe River Plate would be a good test for we. Them gone down. We down already. That will be a good match up.

steups...
India coming to play and all some people talking about is Indian Trinidadians...
When Jamaica come and play, the match should be in Laventille?

NO FU*&ING MATCH AND ALL THIS TALK :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
T&TFF denies India September matches.
By Nigel Simon (Guardian).
T&T Football Federation (T&TFF) press officer, Shaun Fuentes has denied claims that this country’s senior footballers will meet India later this year in a three-match series.
On Friday, it was reported in the India Telegraph newspaper, the senior Indian football team could travel to T&T in September for a three-match series, according to All India Football Federation (AIFF) sources.
While the tour of T&T would come after the World Cup qualifiers against United Arab Emirates (UAE), two more matches have been arranged as preparations before the UAE tie.
But reached for comment yesterday, Fuentes said no member of the T&TFF had made any contact with the AIFF with regards to arranging any friendly matches later this year.
Fuentes added, “As far as the Soca Warriors technical department knows, no matches have been planned with India and no contact has been made between both federations.”
Meanwhile, new Soca Warriors coach, German-born Otto Pfister is likely to see his new team in action for the first time on August 10 against an un-named Concacaf opponent.
Pfister’s team had been in talks over a friendly match against European opposition Armenia but that has not materialised and the local federation is now awaiting feed back from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, all of whom participated in the recently concluded Concacaf Gold Cup in the USA.
An approach was also made to Canada but the one time Gold Cup champion through head coach Stephen Hart have since said they are unavailable while Jamaica is a possible opponent but outside of the FIFA international window.
“We have some oppositions from Concacaf that we have approached and we are currently awaiting feedback from them regarding the next FIFA date on August 10,” technical adviser Keith Look Loy said.
Pfister has also met with some of T&T’s European-based players over the past couple weeks including Stoke City striker Kenwyne Jones.
So far European-based players Khaleem Hyland, Lester Peltier, Darryl Roberts, Carlos Edwards, Collin Samuel and Jason Scotland have been part of the training sessions at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva.
Striker Stern John has also been part of Pfister’s sessions as he continues to work on his fitness and is currently in talks leading towards a new deal ahead of the coming season.
However, the English-based trio of Andre Boucaud, Jake Thomson and Jlloyd Samuel were excused from the sessions this month, due to personal reasons. Samuel, who was on a short-team loan deal at Championship Division club, Cardiff City is likely to complete a new transfer after being released by Premiership club, Bolton Wanderers.
Through an English-based agent, talks have also been held with defender Justin Hoyte and goalkeeper Anthony Warner, the latter having already played for T&T.
The 26-year-old Hoyte, who began his career at Arsenal, is currently attached to Championship Division club Middlesbrough since 2008 where he has made 68 appearances.
He was capped 18 times for the England Under-21 level and played all four matches at the 2007 UEFA U-21 Championship, including the epic semi-final shootout against host Netherlands, missing his first but scoring his second penalty as England lost 13–12. His younger brother Gavin Hoyte plays for Arsenal in the reserve team and turned down T&T a few years ago at the U-17 level.

Firstly why do these reporters always have to emphasize Pfister's place of birth....??? You have to be living under a rock not to know where he from....
So I guess is another CFU game.
Help me out her folks, I vaguely remember when I was a kid my dad use to take us to games, like English and Scottish league teams, South American teams etc...? Are these still viable options for our National Team? How about a game with Ipswich FC? Iceland or some of the lesser European countries. What about we Commonwealth Bros and Sisses... NZ, Australia etc...?

The quicker that Oliver resigns and we get somebody in charge who knows what they are doing and how to get things done is the quicker we will start getting decent regular games for our team.

Might be because most of the T&T team is of African origin?!
Or it might be because Shabazz & them men like to use colourful language without thinking thru things properly!
If indeed T&T will play India then that statement can only lead to division in the support for our team with the Indo Trini population possibly thinking twice about which team they should support as most of them may prefer to identify with the Ganges rather than with the Nile!

Maybe your football officials should hold off announcing games until they have tied up negotiations with the other FA, that way they can identify the team to the fans.
Is there another FIFA data in late August? Poor Pfister, still no opportunity to get his top players together on the field. The English season and most other leagues around the world would be back in session late August no?

Pune FC, Salgaocar refuse to release players
Marcus Mergulhao (Times of India)
PANAJI: India coach Armando Colaco may have to travel to the Caribbean with a severely-depleted squad after Pune FC and Salgaocar Sports Club followed in the footsteps of the Kolkata clubs and refused to release their players for the five-match series.
Pune FC players Subrata Paul and Jeje Lalpekhlua are central to Colaco's plan and both are automatic starters in the starting eleven. But the latest development puts a huge question mark over the genuineness of the team, if not the tour itself.
"We have just found out that the tour matches will not add to India's points (in the ranking system). It's just a friendly tour and makes no sense to release players right in the middle of pre-season. We have conveyed our decision to the AIFF in writing," said Chirag Tanna, Pune FC director of operations.
According to Tanna, Jeje, their star striker, has been playing non-stop for the past 18 months and needs rest more than anything else at this hour, while goalkeeper Paul needs to recover from a niggle that he has been carrying for some time now. He denied his club's decision was a result of Mohun Bagan and East Bengal's steadfast refusal to release players, or at least some of them, but didn't see anything wrong in the Kolkata clubs' line of thinking.
In Goa, Salgaocar Sports Club released two of their players from the original list for the Caribbean tour without batting an eyelid. But while Rocus Lamare and Karanjit Singh are now already in New Delhi, two late additions sought by coach Colaco - Anthony Barboza and Gilbert D'Mello - haven't as yet got the nod from the club management.
"We all want Indian football to grow and the national team to become stronger, but in my opinion this tour has come in the middle of pre-season. Despite all of that, we collaborated but the latest development (of clubs refusing to release players) is unfair," said Salgaocar coach Karim Bencherifa. "The AIFF has to make sure that the same standards are applied to all clubs. If some clubs are allowed to keep players, for whatever reason, we must also be allowed to do the same and prepare in a similar manner for the fast-approaching Federation Cup."
The friendly tour of the Caribbean starting August 10 involves five matches against Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Barbados and a select President's XI.
-
the last time we had an Indian team it was there B side and Skinner park was packed.I believe we won 2-1.The real team was playing in an Asian tournament the same time.
-
No really, India?!?!?! Ah know men might say at least we getting to play ah game, but facking India!?!?!?!
So we cyah even get ah Caribbean team (who not in we qualifying group) to play ah practice match...less money for airfare etc, possibly better opposition (who knows dey might cut we ass too).
Seriously, is one joke after de next wid we football, lord have mercy.....sigh.
-
So after promises of quality internationals and best possible players it comes down to playing an India B side. We really brining in Kenwyne, Carlos and JLloyd and the MLS boys for this?
-
So, its the TTFF cowboys against the Indians? Pretty apt really!
-
and this same Indian B side playing two of our WC opponents...nice man.
So they arrange this as a group package or wha?
What about tapes and video footage...will the Indians sprang the games to anybody interested.
If yuh ent laugh...yuh go cry with this TT team.
But look at what is fishy here...how could this Pune FC director say this
"We have just found out that the tour matches will not add to India's points (in the ranking system). It's just a friendly tour and makes no sense to release players right in the middle of pre-season. We have conveyed our decision to the AIFF in writing," said Chirag Tanna, Pune FC director of operations.
That means wha ???..is not a national team coming but a fete match side...like a PFL XI.

The match is scheduled for August 21

I-League clubs agree to release players for Caribbean tour
Indo-Asian News Service
Five I-League clubs Monday softened their stand and agreed to release footballers for the national team's tour to Barbados, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago this month for three internationals.
The clubs fell in line after All India Football Federation (AIFF) executive committee met here Monday under the chairmanship of president Praful Patel and informed the clubs that the federation would take care of their interest.
East Bengal, Mohun Bagan, Dempo, Salgaocar and Pune FC had refused to release players for the national team, saying their pre-season preparations for the Federation Cup and I-League would be hampered if the players were released.
The clubs citing FIFA rules said they were not obliged to release players, and pointed out that the August 17, 21 and 24 matches India are scheduled to play during teh tour are not FIFA match dates.
"It is not compulsory to release players for matches scheduled on dates not listed in the coordinated international match calendar," says FIFA Players' Status regulations.
AIFF vice-president Subrata Dutta said that after Patel spoke individually to each club officials, they finally relented.
"All the clubs have finally agreed to release players for the national team. We told them that their interest would be taken care of by the AIFF and they readily agreed," said Dutta.
"We told the clubs to solve the matter soon and not drag it to FIFA since this is our internal matter. All the clubs have realised that national interest should get priority and released players," he said.
Dutta also said that former India coach Sukhwinder Singh has been appointed the technical director of Indian Arrows.

That would only happen if Indians turn out to see India.
The reality is this is a game of limited marque value in terms of actual football. They are asking ppl to part with hard earned cash to watch TT play a less than mediocre side. And when fans don't turn up, they wonder why.
However, as Indians tend to support anything Indian this one might work out.

They should use the U-23(Olimpic) squad.

India likely to beat we dont get tie up they might have some good players and we men not really in form so this is no walk in the park.
be careful.

Always come with your best available squad, period.

U really sure you from TT. Apparently you are unaware of certain realities about TT.
It's the same with ethnic groups in the US, Canada, UK etc. If they have a strong connection to the motherland they come out in numbers. It's one reason the Canadian national soccer team stopped playing in Toronto during the 90s.
For you to exhibit such naivite, I can only assume you young, real young or you've lived outside of TT for a very long time.

Why?
That would only happen if Indians turn out to see India.
The reality is this is a game of limited marque value in terms of actual football. They are asking ppl to part with hard earned cash to watch TT play a less than mediocre side. And when fans don't turn up, they wonder why.
However, as Indians tend to support anything Indian this one might work out.VB
Speak for yourself or the village you came from.
I am T&T at HEART vs anybody !!!!!
Don't be deluded. I am not speakin for myself.
Unlike many of you, I was at the last TT-India game and I supported TT (and I'm Indian). However, there are some Indians who don't see it that way. You could bitch and disagree as much as you want.
VB
no offense breds but that comment is almost as ignorant as saying, if TT were playing a west african team, the majority of afro-trinis would support the west african side.
most if not all the indo-trinis i know would support TT over any nation, including india.

That's surprising
Anyway, I agree with a full strength TnT squad, get the support from the fans and country again after a tumultuous year.
Whoever TnT facing, they should make the most of each match. No more fete match mentality

No, it’s not. It’s obvious that many of you know very little about immigrants and their descendants who remain close to their culture. What I have said is the same to a great degree in places like the US, Canada and UK. Now what connection do the Africans in TT have to Africa. Can they sing the music, dance the original dances, speak the original language. Are they fighting to have an African channel on the TV or radio. Many Afro Trinis may be proud of Africa but know little of it, ask them to speak the mother tongue, or about traditions.
Why do you think the kids of WI support TT, J’ca etc over the land of their birth in Canada, US etc. They feel a connection to where their parents come from and share the pride.
I am from Diego, folks from Grande and Penal. Anybody who say that a lot of Indians in TT don’t support India over TT or WI is a naďve fool. I am not painting all Indians with a broad brush there are some on both sides of the fence.
Just last year I bounce Town Indians from St. James who made it clear they support India every time over WI because they are Indian. Now, I don’t agree with them but I am not surprised.
Again, for the foolish ones. I DO NOT support India over TT/WI but I know many who do.
If you don’t, you either real young, or damn dotish.

I don't think VB is being ignorant or dotish or whatever else was used to describe him earlier. I remember when the Indian cricket team came for a match sometime ago folks of East Indian descent turned up to support the indian cricket team with the Indian national flag and they kit and thing....it may have been during the cricket World Cup. And the UNC wasn't in power then so that point is moot in my opinion. Now, that might not happen for football but if it does I wouldn't be surprised.....
Just like the clowns who turned up in the stadium for the English vs. TT game in English kits. Anybody who doesn't know how much our fellow countrymen have no sense of self, patriotism etc. etc. juss fooling dey self.....

No one has made any racists statements here. No one. Men talking about who people will support and why. How is that racists.

You doh have to study dem men... dem acting like they never peep de scenes whenever WI play India at de Oval (or at least so it was back in de day). Frankly, I not too sure I have much of a problem with them supporting India either.

I personally think it depends on the age group. My gf is India and it was a bit offenssive to her that I'd ask her who she's supporting. In addition to which, my co-workers, one of which whose parents came to TnT from India in the '70s, are all supporting TnT and have always supported TnT and WI in cricket. For cetain their will some added interest because its India but more of a novelty factor than support for them over their own national team.

I believe that with every generation, the fanaticism for India will be a bit less.
So, what I observed from the 70s to the 90s would perhaps be a bit less today.
I always thought POS INdians would be a bit less, as I am one myself, however, there are certain areas in POS where they still hold strong links to their ancesry and although they may appear to be as Trinis as you and I, they make no bones about how they feel about India.
I for one have always felt a great pride re. India, after all I'm Indian. But as a fourth generation Trini, TT has always come first.
Couldn't care less if we are playing India, nice from a Marketing point of view but would've liked to have seen a better test.

holding strong links to ancestry doesn't necessarily mean they will support india over TT, the majority of town indo-trinis support west indies and TT, btw I am also from town, east dry river to be exact, and my mother is from st.joseph, both of my parents are mixed and have indian family, that support everything TT, along with their friends and other family.
In fact i have lived abroad for most of my life and have come across many trinis of east indian origin and they always support TT, over india.
While I do understand and acknowledge that there are indians in TT that support india, it is a minority of the population, despite the majority of indians in TT being hindu.

Now, travel woes hit WI tour
By Tomojit Basu (Hindustan Times)
Maybe this whole Caribbean tour is a bad idea. Beset by ‘club v country’ problems soon after the idea was mooted, it seems that the senior national football team now has a travel schedule problem. Coach Armando Colaco and his team were supposed to exit the capital early Friday morning. That isn’t happening now.
“We have no idea when we are leaving because the plan to leave tomorrow (Friday) morning has been changed,” team manager Mandar Tamhane told HT, adding, “We were supposed to transit through London (and stay overnight) and maybe plans have changed because of the riots. We aren’t too sure of what’s happening because the federation and the tour operator have to sort out the matter.”
Thursday’s practice session, comprising short games and passing exercises, lasted almost three hours. “The three teams (Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana) are much better than us, I already know that. Starting practice earlier would have helped,” said Colaco.
Asked if the clubs-federation bout had affected the players, Colaco said: “It had to! I spoke to them, everything’s fine now but why should it have happened in the first place? The clubs should have released them before when they were asked because that’s what the rule book says. It’s an ego problem.”
Dempo SC, of which Colaco is the coach and general secretary, Pune FC, Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. They fought the All India Football Federation (AIFF) stating that the friendlies would not affect the country’s rankings.
The AIFF, however, had categorically stated that they would. “I had said that I wanted to bring the federation and clubs closer. A proper plan needs to be worked out,” said the 58-year-old coach.
Asked about injury worries, the captain for the tour and if all 26 players at the camp would be travel, Colaco replied: “I’m trying to take them all but fitness is a problem. Jewel (Raja Sheikh) has a niggle. The captain will be the senior-most, most likely Climax (Lawrence) or even Samir (Naik).”
India are scheduled to play Barbados (August 17), Trinidad & Tobago (August 21) and Guyana (August 24) on this tour.

This thread really gone off centre yes..
Yes people will come because we havent played a game for months
Yes people will come because they want to see the brand inspired by this new coach
Yes people will come because of who the opposition is.
All in all it ends up in a better crowd turnout. Let's just leave it as that.

Will the crowd come out to see an all local side play India??

Now, travel woes hit WI tour
“The three teams (Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana) are much better than us, I already know that.

Unfortunately this thread gone on the racial highway. I think most of us are pissed off, not because we playing India. We are pissed off because that is the only prep. game before an important WCQ. We should have played about six games(including the game with India) before the Bermuda game seeing that we did not make the GC. Like most of allyuh forget Bermuda beat us at home last WCQ. Forget that we went Hamilton and win the return. We should have played the Haiti game. There is no excuse. None.
Now all this racial crap on the forum is totally out ah hand. Things start off with regular Trini picong and next thing we cussin' up one another. This is the 2nd time an Indian team will be coming to TT. Only one African team(south Africa) I think has played in TT. Correct me on that. Jack Warner has been a FiFA big man all them years. He has been bestowed with some Yoruba name. How many other African team has he brought to TT. With all his blackness how come he never saw fit to bring African teams to play in TT. Nigeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire,Tunisia, Angola. Even Liberia and sierra Leone can givE tt real thunder.
I have no issue with the Indian game whatsoever. But plz, is this preparation for WC?

I dont think its fair to say the likes of Barbados and St. Kitts are better than India, at the very least, India should be on par with these teams. and yes, I do expect T&T to beat India in T&T.
If this helps, I recall Jamaica playing them at Loftos Road about 8 years ago, it was 3-0 win for Jamaica, in those days Jamaica struggled to score goals, normally scoring only once per game..
But India has improved since.

Unfortunately this thread gone on the racial highway. I think most of us are pissed off, not because we playing India. We are pissed off because that is the only prep. game before an important WCQ. We should have played about six games(including the game with India) before the Bermuda game seeing that we did not make the GC. Like most of allyuh forget Bermuda beat us at home last WCQ. Forget that we went Hamilton and win the return. We should have played the Haiti game. There is no excuse. None.
Now all this racial crap on the forum is totally out ah hand. Things start off with regular Trini picong and next thing we cussin' up one another. This is the 2nd time an Indian team will be coming to TT. Only one African team(south Africa) I think has played in TT. Correct me on that. Jack Warner has been a FiFA big man all them years. He has been bestowed with some Yoruba name. How many other African team has he brought to TT. With all his blackness how come he never saw fit to bring African teams to play in TT. Nigeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire,Tunisia, Angola. Even Liberia and sierra Leone can givE tt real thunder.

Nah, it must be preparation for Mastana Bahar, certainly not a WC qualifier.

So it seems India is happy to be playing higher ranked teams because its not often they do so,we dont get many compliments these days so that is nice to hear,we are high ranking in India's eyes.I hope we can show that we can comprehensively beat India coz we are much higher ranked than them,nothing less than a 3 nil will do.

WE?! What do you mean by WE?! ???
That is not WE team, that is the TTFF's team and they are not going anywhere with the current admin in charge unless Pfister is a miracle worker!!
Call me unpatriotic if you will but I'm hoping India gives that TTFF team a beating!!
They deserve it based upon their preparation progamme so far! ;)

Then he end up with, people must come out and support, because unlike in the past he sure there would'nt be a problem if people support both teams?? ???
What he was talking about, or who he was talking to? Is it that he just trying to generate interest in the game via controversy or Trinidad is a different, different place from say the '80's?

Why all yuh don't stop the racist mess and concentrate on the game? Either support or don't support. All the ethnic jokes are unnecessary.

Store, I could understand the bitternes. Many Indians have a lot of ethnic pride, as their language and culture still keep them binded to some degree to India. Some will prefer India over TT, other will obviously be Trini first.
Rightuflly any Trini would be insulted by this. It's the same in canada where many ethnic groups support the land of their ancestors as opposed to Canada, likewise USA and UK. In TT our ethnic mix is much less so we don't see a hundred ethnic groups that have lived in the country for a hundred years or less still maintaining close ties to their cultural homeland. As one person put it, it's "cultural pride."
Many Canadians get fed up with this, especially during the World Cup. Trinis have every right to be offended if local Indians like India over TT - and some will. But its no less surprising than to see the descendants of Trinis and J'cans living in N. America and UK support the land of their forefathers over the land of their birth. Are they racists? And they don't give a damn what their countrymen think.
Ask the locals living foreign, who their children support in football.
That's the way it is in many countries. Take it or leave it.
Personally speaking, I am always happy to see India do well but not at TT's expense.
And if we lose to this shit side, as a pennance the whole team should learn some chutney and go and peform on Mastana Bahar. ;D

Again well said VB. well said.
As a Trini I used to be offended when I first learned Trini Indians supported the Indian Cricket team when they played the West Indies at the Oval. But living in NY, I've seen exactly what you're talking about.
I hope T&T do well but I hope the friendly serves its purpose--to provide the coaching staff the information they need to be able to make proper adjustments for success against our immediate opponents.

I don't think your comparison fits well. The West Indians who support their countries even though they live in the US, UK or Canada are mostly 1st or 2nd generation immigrants. How many generations have passed since the Fatel Razack landed?

...But its no less surprising than to see the descendants of Trinis and J'cans living in N. America and UK support the land of their forefathers over the land of their birth.
Which is why I say I ent too upset if they want to support India. How many ah we living right here in the US, in some cases we's US citizens, yet supporting anybody but the US? Yes I recognize the central difference being that Indians in TnT is born-bred Trinis yet supporting some other country that ent give a fart about them... but that is their business if they want to throw 'way dey support like that. Some would say the TTFF eh give ah fart about we supporters either :D

I think you're right about the well preserved culture and language that imbues people with that connection to India. I don't think any other ethnic group in T&T embraces the popular culture and sport of their ancestral home more than the East Indian community and there's nothing wrong with that.
I want to agree with Peong that its not a fair comparison you made though. You can't compare them freshwaters with people whose family has been here for generations.
Regarding the actual football we need to respect out opponents and do our best to win.

Ah notice a couple references in this thread to "language and culture" ... Culture? Check. Question: whais de "language" of which we speak?
P.S.
I was in attendance when India and Trinidad & Tobago played previously. The Indian presence at the HCS was numerically unremarkable. As far as I recall, there was no public discourse or even private conjecture on the matter of local support for India. India was received as any other opponent would have been received. And, there surely was no record set for attendance or gate receipts that night ...(probably less so too because certain patrons entered without paying: both out of habit and entitlement). It would be fair to say that attendance in general was neither remarkable nor noteworthy.
The game took place way after the infamous support of India's cricket team by citizens of Trinidad and Tobago at the Oval ... yet there was no significant likelihood of the same happening at de football.
If nothing else, there has been a broadening of the base of avid fans of the game in the intervening years both in India and in T&T ... and this seems to be an undercurrent of comments rendered in encouraging ppl to attend the game. When Syria coming?

The point about close cultural ties to the homeland obviously went right over your head. I’ve explained myself in about three different posts, I eh go repeat myself again.
How many Afro Trinis can speak and African dilect or know the customs of their ancestors inside out.
My parents can speak Hindi fluently and my family has lived in TT for over a hundred years.
The Indians get up in the morning listening to Indian music, do their prayers and have dozens of mundirs all over TT. What African custom do Trinis practice getting up in the morning. Such is the knowledge and love of Indian culture that we have Indian programs on TV and Radio.
The Indian Govt. was so impressed with the presence of Indo culture in TT in the 80s that they wanted to donate the money to build a cultural centre. The NAR refused to give the land unless it was a national cultural centre – like the Indian Govt. actually did something out of place.
If you don’t understand cultural binds then you won’t understand the mindset.
The first generation Trinis and J’can in foreign know where they come from hence their support for their parents’ homeland. A hundred years makes no difference to an Indo Trini who has the religion, speaks the language, grew up in a Hindu household and family gets married according to Hindu rights.
I remember when Indian in TT used to laugh at me for supporting “dem black people team,” the WI. I used to shake my head at their backwardness. However, travelling to the US, Can. And UK explained to some degree why they were that way.
This is not about race, it’s about culture. As I said before, like it or not, it’s a world wide phenomenon.

There were more than 10 000 ppl at the game. Unremarkable at the time. But great by today's standards. We can't even get that number for a WC qualifier. Bear in mind in those days we got the best clubs in Europe and S. America so less than 15 000 ppl was always a bad crowd.
The Indian support may have been unremarkable by Indian standars but it was there. I know ppl who went to that game for no other reason.
The Indian support at this game may again be unremarkable by cricket standards but as an Indian I am telling you that some will come for that reason. Makes no difference for me, but it should help the gate.
Some of you have misinterpreted my statements and some big Indian agenda. It’s no big anything, some Indians still feel close to their roots. That’s just the way it is.
I will tell you I was shocked at the poor crowds for the recent Indian/Pakistan-WI games in Guyana and TT. So if they don't want to spend their money to watch mediocre teams play cricket, it might be the same for football. I am no expert in this area. The game should tell.

It IS about race VB. Yuh cyar deny that. However, culture does play a big part. It seems to me that Christian Indians really couldn't care less about India, the same as most Afro-Trinis who couldn't give two hoots about anywhere in Africa. They are Trinis.
Hindus on the other hand to me have a different mindset (this is a generalization). They've stuck to Indian culture and especially religion (a religion that encourages bias, or what would appear to be bias in other cultures). It's a shame because this is why Indians are in the Caribbean in the first place. So it goes.
Hindus in TnT just kept to themselves for the most part, while Pan, Calypso, Sport, the stereotypical white sandy beach and a coconut tree,(the things that identified us as a nation initially), hell even the birth of the nation itself came about. So I think a lot of them never felt Trini. It doesn't help that to this day other people worldwide are still surprised when they realize how many Indians are in the Caribbean. The perception is that the Caribbean is African, and since TnT is in the Caribbean well then... Unfortunately, many Hindu-Trinis seem to feel this way also. To me it's only since the '90's that all this started to change in Trinidad, when the overall Indian population grew.That's my perspective anyway.
I was at the game in Hasely the first time India came to play. Of course we lost that game. Walking down the stairs after that game an Indian came barrelling down the steps through the crowd, pushing people aside shouting "they cyar beat we!!", and ran from Hasely all excited. If we had Indians on our team that would not have happened. He wasn't talking about culture, he was talking about race.

Socafan...you are talking bout one silly Indian who was showing his ignorance,there could have been more who silently enjoyed the result but I feel we will always have a few like that.You must remember that those Indians who came to the Caribbean about 170 years ago had a culture and relegion that dates back to 5000 years BC,the Indus Valley Civilization,also 170 years is a short time in history to totally shake that off.You mentioned that the Christian Indians would be different in that they are not bothered by the cultural thing and would be more likely to support TT against India,do you mean that Hindus will all support India,I doubt that,the fact is some Indians will support India but I think its negligible.
I dont think that Indos are the only people in that position coz I know Welsh,Scots and Irish who are 4th generation English but do not support England at anything,I also know Afros who will support any African team against England although most are second and third generation,I dont think we should be putting down the Indos as a special case.You are wrong to say that Afros dont care bout Africa coz you only have to look at the this MB to see the support that goes to any African team whenever they are involved in sports.I dont think you could judge anyone's allegiance to their country by such a trivial matter.I think Indos have been good for TT in many ways so I wouldn't bother bout a few idiots.I cried when we failed to qualify in 90 and cried when we qualified for 2006 I will be supporting TT 200% against India and I know if my father and mother was alive they would also be supporting TT. 8)

Yuh nitpicking and missing de point... from marital ceremonies, religious practices, cultural entities such as GOPIO, Maha Sabga, Chutney radio stations... all of these things (aside from language) help reinforce the strength and preservation of Indian (particularly, Hindu) culture in TnT. There are a couple efforts here and that seek to promote Afro-centricity, but it's not as coordinated, not as supported, and not as prevalent... for understandable reasons.

How about I just wanted to have VB respond as to his anecdotal view? Nothing more, nothing less.

Morgan Job tell them that what they talking eh no Hindi. And from what I experienced India-Indians sturggle to understand Trini-Indiands "Hindi".

Let me give u two examples.
As a kid never heard my parents have a Hindi conversation, although they said they spoke Hindi at home their parents.
Then one day as a young adult, my Mum translated a movie for some foreigners no problem.
In 1992, I was watching a cricket match in Toronto, WI vs. the World. Some Indians from India were looking at us like they were smelling something bad. Apparently they couldn’t understand why Indian people were applauding a group of black players.
They were making fun of Lara’s name because according to how you pronounce it, it means “girl.” However, you can pronounce it differently and it means “dick.”
My Dad educated them on the “dick” version and then continued to give them picong for about ten minutes – all in Hindi.
They can both watch a Hinid movie without subtitles.
Again they spoke Hinid growing up at home.
I have met black ppl who can do the same, either because one parent was Indian or they socialized a lot amongst Indians growing up.
It’s one reason why Ras Shorty I is so respected by Indians because when he buss Chutney lyrics, it’ the real deal.

Morgan Job tell them that what they talking eh no Hindi. And from what I experienced India-Indians sturggle to understand Trini-Indiands "Hindi".
Societal differences maybe?
Morgan Job know Hindin?
He might have a point, 150 years later, it might not be pure. But the accents differ from one end of Indian to another.
I am no Indian expert, but the Trinis I have seen speak Hindi were understood by the Indians present.
When I cuss somebody about dey mudder, they understand me ;D
However, the French say the Quebecois doh speak real French and half of those ppl only know that language.

My parents can speak Hindi fluently and my family has lived in TT for over a hundred years.

VB, the african may not be ah good reference point bc of how far removed he has been from his mother land, but lets take into consideration the syrian or the chinese populous, shall we.
the syrian and the chineses trini also have very strong cultural ties to their home land even though they don't advertise it like the indains.
the chinese still speak their native dialects mandarin and cantonese, the syrians still speak arabic and in some cases practice their faith waking up early every morn to make fajr salat, and also offering salat all through the day. in the month of ramazan they fast and celebrate the two eids, they also marry in the same fashion.
same for the chinese, they still keep chinese new yr and celebrate holy chinese months, yes i know bc i grew up wid chisese trinis, both in school and in my neighborhood. one thing that amazed me about chinese trini is that they would live in some of the roughest neighborhoods and go through normal normal and blend in with the ppl.
my neighbors spoke fluent chinese and was immersed in chinese culture and they were born and raised right there in the hood. the girls dated black guys and the boys dated black girls, they went to parties, hang out and even went to church with us.
it had the chinese social club chungsang right down the road from me, and also the chinese association in st anns that kept ah huge chinese cultural gathering/ festival every yrs in the george st market and it was ah huge grandeur event where ppl of all races participated. allyuh outa towners wouldn't know bout that but every EDR yute would tell yuh that i speaking the truth.
VB i willing to bet that if china came to play T&T a game in the stadium that the "trini" chinese poulation probably wouldn't even attend, let alone throw their support china's way, and i willing to bargin on the syrian trini population just the same.
i think for the most part, the rural trini indians are pro indain/ hindu nationalist and that will always be the case. and i would go as far to say that if trinidad and india had ah fallin out that lead to a war, they would pick up arms against T&T to defend india, bc in their mind T&T is ah n****r country.
doh get meh wrong, what i truly love about T&T is the mix of many cultures, and the cultural expressions of each group make it delightful to behold and experience, but yuh see supporting other nations over T&T just bc it's your ancestral land, doh bother to justify that BS, if yuh love india so much over yuh birth land, then fackin go back to india! that's all. JMO.

JC, you make valid points. But both the Syrian/Lebanese and Chinese communities are small in numbers even though both communities have substantial stakes in the business and finances of TT. Actually more the all the Afro-Trini business put together. What is the pop. of both Syrians and Chinese?

JC, we really digressing here. But it’s interesting, so I’ll keep it up.
Not trying to justify the Indo Trini perspective, just indicating their mindset. My brothers were born in Canada and I’ve made it clear that they should feel free to support Canada vs. TT. Didn’t want to be one of those ignorant immigrants brain washing their kids (or in my case younger brothers) against the land of their birth – especially one that has given us so much.
I am aware of the Chinese and the Syrian connection. My step mum is Chinese Trini and her dad was in Mao’s army.
Don’t know enough as to how each group would react to a Chinese/Syrian team visiting TT. Although I’m sure some would have a great curiousity for obvious reasons.
However, my step mum has always shown great interest in any movie highlighting the Chinese experience, eg. The Last Emperor – again perfectly understandable.
Between you and me, I wouldn’t be surpised if that btch support China against TT – but I could be wrong :-)

Societal differences maybe?
Hinduism is based on a cast system!
Let’s not fool ourselves! The Indians who were sent to the West Indies as Indenture labourers were seen mainly as the lower casts Indians.
They were deprived of the standard of education, etc that the higher casts were privileged to and leaving India to seek a better life in the Caribbean even as Indenture labourers was a positive move out of poverty and cast restrictions on their part.
Its logical that the Hindi spoken by the lower casts would not be the same as that spoken by the higher casts! Its equivalent to the Queen trying to understand a poor person from East London speaking Cockney slang! She'll find it difficult to understand them!!
Therefore it is no surprise that Indians in India struggle to understand Trini Indians when they try to converse in Hindi rather than English!
But what does all of this have to do with football anyway?
Now even I getting caught up in the Social Studies!
As BM say what we want to know is who is in both squads and can we expect a good quality game but like men who didn’t do enough Social Studies at school trying to derail this thread! ::)

I am supporting India because I am born Indian and also because I think that though they are the underdog, they'll still give us a good run for our money.
I hope India wins.....afterall, its only a friendly.

All the Social Studies put aside.
The TTFF is really lacking in finances. They should milk the race card for all it's worth. Indians in Trinidad support indian things. For e.g. when the first indian radio station was introduced, it quickly became one of the most listened radio station. TTFF/Anil Roberts should have marketed the arse out of this game. Pregame show, halftime tassa/african drumming show. Chutney/Brass aftershow.... sell 3pc KFC with half ah roti... puncheon/redbull at exorbitant prices, bring the indians out of every crevice in trinidad... and collect this revenue from dem. Who cares about who win or lorse, we have little or no finances for WC 2014, let's mesh our diversity. Rio right dey let soca meet samba in 2014.

I totally agree tassa and de full works. Bring out them gul in the sari and everything. Make ah money out ah this. If i was Anil I would ah make this game so big that it would ah make papers in India. Win or lost the entire India team, staff and players should want to come back to trini with family and friends. Good for tourism. Kfc and roti allyuh good oui :rotfl:

Eldo I agree... Men in this thread majorin in the minors too much. If an indian person come out to support trinidad or india.... does it really matter if he in red or blue? he patronizing and paying for a ticket... in other words money in the bank... I would even be silly as to have dem nuts man sell half channa/halfnuts if I know it was going to bring in revenue. :beermug: Who doing the marketing for TTFF?

Some of the comments on this thread belong in the 1990s and others are down right stupid. In addition to which, who cares if some Indians support India in this match? It translates into bums in seats and equals to revenue. Many Afro-Caribbean people born in England (especially older ones) supported TnT against England in the WC, wasn't a big deal. Many Mexican-Americans born and bred in the US support the Mexican team (again, especially the older ones). As a parent of a dougla child I really hope he can grow up in a country where some of these obsolete, backward rhetoric is a thing of the past.

Jayerson:
I indicated on a previous post something similar to what you said the difference was I spoke bout England 3rd and 4th generations of Scots,Welsh,Irish,Indians,Pakistanis,Afro Caribbean and Africans,most would never support England.Some people may not like it but I think we need more Douglars,I wont be around to see it but its going to happen,a friend told me that nearly every Indo in TT has an Afro relative.

Nonsense!!! these ppl supporting trinidad against england bc they weren't respected as brits for a long time especially first generationers who was excluded in every which way.
why,look how long it took england to come tuh terms with their immigrant population and begin treating them like "english" citizen integrating them into british society, plus they've only been there in great numbers 50yrs. same thing with the rest of europe.
as for mexicans, these ppl has only been in the US in great numbers less than 70yrs, and their population was minuscule up till the late 70ies, it's only LA and dallas that really had ah huge mexican population compared to the rest of the US, but trini indians has been in T&T since the 1840ies!! that's almost 200 fackin yrs and they can't assimilate yet??
allyuh keep making excuses for that bull crap, i just have one word to describe it, unpatriotic!! fack dat!

seriously guys... this thread has become putrid with it's bigotry. India playing TnT, thank god we have an international... good luck socawarriors.
JC both my father, and his father repped TnT in Golf, both were indians and did it proudly... come cricket in the 70's and 80's when WI was a "black" team they supported unequivocally. Even though I have asked my Mum and Dad to come live in the US, they refused... because TnT is their home. Dey supporting ONR, NAR and PNM like diehards.

it's the same here in the US when ppl discuss african american sociology, i've noticed that it makes ppl so apprehensive and have them walking on egg shells every time the subject arises. why can't ppl speak out in an intelligent unoffensive truthful manner about the subject? what's with all the diplomacy and evasiveness ?

Nonsense!!! these ppl supporting trinidad against england bc they weren't respected as brits for a long time especially first generationers who was excluded in every which way.
why,look how long it took england to come tuh terms with their immigrant population and begin treating them like "english" citizen integrating them into british society, plus they've only been there in great numbers 50yrs. same thing with the rest of europe.
as for mexicans, these ppl has only been in the US less than 70yrs, and their population was minuscule up till the late 70ies, it's only LA and dallas that really had ah huge mexican population compared to the rest of the US, but trini indians has been in T&T since the 1840ies!! that's almost 200 fackin yrs and they can't assimilate yet??
allyuh keep making excuses for that bull crap, i just have one word to describe it, unpatriotic!! fack dat!
If only you knew how off-base yuh is.

seriously guys... this thread has become putrid with it's bigotry. India playing TnT, thank god we have an international... good luck socawarriors.
JC both my father, and his father repped TnT in Golf, both were indians and did it proudly... come cricket in the 70's and 80's when WI was a "black" team they supported unequivocally. Even though I have asked my Mum and Dad to come live in the US, they refused... because TnT is their home. Dey supporting ONR, NAR and PNM like diehards. Many Indians just as every other race in trinidad and tobago love the rocks they live on... :beermug:
Breds , you miss the whole boat! go back and read my initial post and you would see where i mention ah certain sector of the population, and not the whole indian population in T&T does be on dat.
almost half ah the board is indians, and the man to whom the site belongs is an indian, so i can't be that fackin out of it to think that this is indian behavior, no!
it's ah country bookie "ignorant" indian mentality, and i hate the way ppl defending it! it's the same disdain i have for african trinis who have ah ghetto mentality and love tuh advantage and bully ppl of the other races with their racist bull shyte.
right in town where i from have plenty indians, and they not in dat. in st,james, deigo, maraval, and st anns have plenty indians and dem is more trini than me, and doh talk for all the indian ppl who inter marry with chinese , whites, black and spanish down my way. yuh go bawl if yuh really know how diverse POS and the western side of the island truly is.
i not in no race ting boss, i just hate the separation nonsense4, it's the same problem i have with 1st generation vincies and genadian trinis who love tuh bad talk native trinidadians and always have something negative tuh say about trini culture, they born in trini but always bad talkin we! i have ah couple of friends (or frienemies if you will) and i does tell dem tuh go back grenada and st vincent if we not good enough fuh allyuh, as ah matter of fact, don't even go back trini!

Look at the word desperate.
Now look at our international program over the last two years.
Do you need further explanation?

TC, you, yourself man. One practice game before a WC qualifying game. You called that efficient. Even if we only played Brazil in friendly I would have cuss the sameway. We are no longer novice in the WC business. We been playing since 65 and this is the kind of preparation we have.

i already addressed the point of the conversation earlier, it has digressed since if you haven't noticed.
i was responding to JC because i felt the thread was going down the wrong path, i wasn't talking to you.
instead of us talking about football, it has gone into a discussion fully engrossed in race and racism.

TI, this is ah cop out if i've ever seen one. what about discussing anything about race especially indians that does make this whole board so uncomfortable, untruthful and compromising?
it's the same here in the US when ppl discuss african american sociology, i've noticed that it makes ppl so apprehensive and have them walking on egg shells every time the subject arises. why can't ppl speak out in an intelligent unoffensive truthful manner about the subject? what's with all the diplomacy and evasiveness ?
cop out? who is copping out, its obvious that there is racism on both sides of the fence and has been displayed throughout the generations.
who is denying that? that is a fact, however there are many indo and afro-trinis who are not racists, there are also many hindu to the bone trinis who support TT fully as well.
I have met racist individuals from both races and also ones that are of a mixed race, that is normal place in a country like TT that has so many different cultures.
I ain't walking on egg shells, like you forget my father's family from the EDR as well. My mother and father are of mixed heritage, I am very comfortable talking about race.
however, when the discussion gets counter productive breds I have no problem pointing out that we all come from the same root and that ignorance will allow some people to continue a discussion that is not addressing but attacking in nature.

why,look how long it took england to come tuh terms with their immigrant population and begin treating them like "english" citizen integrating them into british society, plus they've only been there in great numbers 50yrs. same thing with the rest of europe.
as for mexicans, these ppl has only been in the US less than 70yrs, and their population was minuscule up till the late 70ies, it's only LA and dallas that really had ah huge mexican population compared to the rest of the US, but trini indians has been in T&T since the 1840ies!! that's almost 200 fackin yrs and they can't assimilate yet??
allyuh keep making excuses for that bull crap, i just have one word to describe it, unpatriotic!! fack dat!
If only you knew how off-base yuh is.
Well enlighten einstein, don;'t leff me in the dark. ::)
You say that Trinis in England supported the WI over England because they were treated as second class citizens etc. in England. No argument there.
However, for generations... many Indians in TnT felt they were treated as second-class citizens by first the colonial, then the Eric Williams government. You might argue whether that feeling was justified or not... but there's no arguing that it existed. Therefore, even though you call it "nonsense", you actually make his case for him without realizing it.
As fuh assimilating... black people been in the US almost 500 years now and to this day many African Americans will root for an African team over the US Men's National Team. Need I mention the second-class citizen thing too?
Next... you say that Mexicans only in the US less than 70 years and that up 'til the 70s the population was "miniscule"?? Where you get that from pardna?
You realize that Texas and California was taken from Mexico by force, right? Santa Ana and dem fellas was from where... Venezuela? You realize that many Mexicans stayed on this side of the border, working the same land they'd been working for centuries, right? Eva Longoria described this as being her family's situation, and they certainly weren't the only ones. Mexicans have always been in this country, their immigration didn't just start after WWII (70 years ago). Maybe you confusing them with Puerto Ricans, lol

Breds, i what i meant tuh say was that as of 70 yrs ago, the bulk of the mexican populus was concentrated in LA or dallas, that's all! it's only after a few decades or so that mexicans started over populating southern cal and started moving inland, but for the most part they were ah real minority.
i'm fully aware of the alamo. i'm also aware of the origins of texas and southern cal/ northern mexico being taken away from mexico in the first american intervention/ the mexican american war of 1846. give me some sort of credit bro, i ain't that dunce.
as for black ppl in the US not assimilating after 500yrs, it seem like you really want tuh win this argument, bc black americans and white americans are one and the same.
BTW i can't remember any african team being supported over any american team , ever! i musta miss something here. from what i know black americans can't even stand africans, so i would really like to know when and where black yankees supported africans in any sporting event against their own countrymen.
as for indians being under dogs in trini under eric williams rule, hog wash! the indian population started triving under the williams regime more than any other ethnic group, if any thing, they made themselves underdogs, bc of politics and klanishhness, but williams do them ppl plenty favors bro, especially with the big agricultural loans that they never had tuh pay back that afforded most indians ah tractor and ah big truck under their tall mansions in the country.

Ask them people in N. Mexico, Arizona and the other border states if is only Texas and California who had Mexicans 70 yrs ago. Just because yuh wasn't hearing about militias and border patrol back then don't mean Mexicans wasn't immigrating in large numbers.
i'm fully aware of the alamo. i'm also aware of the origins of texas and southern cal/ northern mexico being taken away from mexico in the first american intervention/ the mexican american war of 1846. give me some sort of credit bro, i ain't that dunce.
Fair enough, but you type with yuh own fingers that Mexicans didn't come here until 70 yrs ago? I'z not a mind reader to know what yuh intended from what yuh didn't intend.
as for black ppl in the US not assimilating after 500yrs, it seem like you really want tuh win this argument, bc black americans and white americans are one and the same.
BTW i can't remember any african team being supported over any american team , ever! i musta miss something here. from what i know black americans can't even stand africans, so i would really like to know when and where black yankees supported africans in any sporting event against their own countrymen.
Black Americans and white Americans are one in the same? I'm sure many black Americans will disagree with that.
Secondly, last year during the World Cup the only time I saw black Americans even remotely interested in the games was when the African teams were playing.... and yes, they were rooting for Ghana over the US.
as for indians being under dogs in trini under eric williams rule, hog wash! the indian population started triving under the williams regime more than any other ethnic group, if any thing, they made themselves underdogs, bc of politics and klanishhness, but williams do them ppl plenty favors bro, especially with the big agricultural loans that they never had tuh pay back that afforded most indians ah tractor and ah big truck under their tall mansions in the country.
As I said... which you clearly missed... whether YOU want to agree with the assertion that Indians were treated as second-class citizens or not is immaterial to the discussion, I'm sure there are many in England who will disagree that WIs were treated as second-class citizens too, but that's besides the point. The fact is that many Indians BELIEVE that they were treated as second-class citizens in TnT, just as many WI believe they were treated as second-class citizens in England. We are talking about reasons why these groups support 'foreign' teams over the 'home' teams... not whether they are justified in their reasons for that support.

I have live in foreign for a while and I think I know a thing or 2 about race relations in the US. Black American are some of the most patriotic Americans. They DO NOT alway walk hand in hand with everything the MAN say or do, but that don't mean they not patriotic.

I have read quite a bit about Dr.E.Williams reign and Indians did not started doing well during his reign,Indians were always doing well especially in the private sector even when TT was British.When Williams took over TT in 56 or whenever it was,it was because Indians were not capable of uniting,if they united they would have beaten the PNM into second place.Indians broke up into several splinter groups and the Indian votes were spread among several different candidates and that is how Williams won.The Muslim votes went to the PNM because my father and mother voted PNM(we have Muslim surname but are Christians) also all my family from Sando,even so if Indians had stuck together as someone suggested "they are klannish" then they would have beaten the PNM.
It is amazing that the present government of majority Indians are still together,everyday you expect to see them fall apart,Indians cannot unite like Afros.
When India competed in the Asian Cup recently this MB was full of stupid and un-complimentary remarks about India,people were disregarding the fact that India had not played serious football for many years,as such I didn't think they did as bad as some were saying.It now appears that some people are thinking or even indicating that India could even beat us.We shouldn't get "cold feet" now coz India according to many are "shit",well that is what they were saying during the results in the Asian Cup.I thought India did well enough in the Asian Cup,all things considered but they surely cannot beat us on home soil but I will be mildly surprised if we lose.

I think folks here are starting to overrate the importance of this T&T vs India game!
This is basically a game between 2 minors or 2 $hit teams!
Whether T&T wins or India wins, no one in the world who cares about watching a decent standard of football will care!!
None of my Indian friends here in London either know or care that this game is on and I am not even going to bother bragging to them about winning afterwards if T&T wins as that will only mean that India is $hitter than us nothing more!
So guys let’s not get too carried away, this is simply an insignificant match between football minors that very few people in the real football care much about!!
Mind you we care so that's all that matters, or do we really?! :-\

What i'm gathering from this game is that it's a goodwill game,this is a game arranged between two governments,this eh no preparation for no WC else all the foreign based players would have been involved.
I thought All Sports in control of promoting the game,why are we still checking TTFF for game dates etc etc

Bakes is a real good lawyer yes... :beermug:

In Trini we will big up anyone willing to play for T&T even if dey not even born in T&T, but have some kind of roots...Those of us who live abroad will probably be proud of our kids and grandkids if they remain loyal to Trini and support our team...so what's the big fuss about Indians in T&T supporting India? Many Indians in T&T have maintained strong ties to their roots - Before I left T&T I couldn't really understand it, but it makes sense on some level to me now, and it's not that big a deal...What's even more baffling is why Indians who support T&T would be offended by someone simply stating their observations...
As far as the game goes, if we put a good lashing on this team, we might gain the attention of some better opponents, and so on and so on - we have to start somewhere, and we can't be too proud to play anyone - big European pro teams start their pre-season by taking on lower division clubs and doing tours of way lesser fancied footballing countries - again yuh have tuh start somewhere. World Cup doh start next week - in fact at this stage we're likely to learn more and get a proper warm up, from a lesser team than by playing a "big side" that will surely cut our arse.... I know nothing of India's football but I don't imagine that they'll be any good...I also have a fear that we're not a whole (if at all) lot better so for me personally I'm intrigued by what this match-up will bring. I'm hoping that we put a comprehensive licking on them - that would give me some hope that we're even in a place to face better opposition....and we go from there.
On a sidenote, I think the match could be a lot of fun for the local based if as a nation we took it seriously- regardless of who supporting who - let the indians come out in their numbers, tassa, roti, doubles and rum mix with the regular steel and iron, pie, nuts and stag ...sounds like a good fete to me - I eh see what the fuss is all about

I didn't say fete match. I said fete (for the fans)!! My point was that I don't know why the fans wouldn't go out in their numbers and enjoy this one....

The FULL TIME whistle blows....Guyana win 2-1...It's India's second successive defeat in the Caribbean tour but this time it was a much better showing from Armando Colaco's side...Stay tuned to Goal.com for match report and reactions...

congrats to Guyana but should I be surprised ?

No. Guyan have some skill and bad mind, doh be surprise if they spring a surprise in the WC qualifiers. Nothing so heady as making the Hex but they could win a game and take valuable pts away from a favoured team.

Been trying to get a feel for the strength of this Indian team, i believe this result against Guyana puts things into perspective somewhat for me. Guyana is not top 4 caribbean, so its safe to say this Indian team is somewhere around the same level of teams like Bermuda / Antigua etc...This Guyana team (with a good a couple overseas basd players) was recently beaten 4-0 by caribbean champs Jamaica. I 'd also assume that Guyana left out some of its overseas based players for this India game. you'd thing with Indias 1 gazillion population theyd be able to put together a decent 11...whats guyanas population. Goes to show that football is more about culture than anything else.

India go down to Guyana in friendly
Guyana have defeated India 2-1 in an international friendly at the National Stadium, Providence, as part of the +ONE India Caribbean Tour.
The hosts took the lead in the 19th minute through striker Vurlon Mills, who headed it in after the Indian defence was caught napping.
Stung by the reverse, India pushed hard and equalised when Steven Dias curled in a free-kick in the 36th minute to level matters before the interval.
In the second period, Guyana combined well and a flurry of attacks kept the Indian defence busy. Their efforts eventually bore fruit in the 63rd minute when left-back Walter Moore chipped over Subrata Pal to make it 2-1.
India’s best chance came when Guyana were reduced to 10-men after Travis Henry was given his marching orders for a rough tackle on Clifford Miranda. But India could not profit from the numerical advantage as Guyana managed to hold on to the lead.
