Football / Do you Think TNT will have sell out crowds at all 3 WC Matches?

« on: February 21, 2006, 04:59:26 AM »

Of all the Bru ha ha about scarcity of tickets and corruption.It is a fact and history has shown that certain games in the first rounds of previous World Cup games,usually do not have a sell out capacity.Granted the stadiums that TNT will play in have a capacity of 30,000  up to to 45,000 seats.This may sound like a dotish(proper English term doltish)question,but given all the ticket scandal and people not getting tickets and that TNT is not a 'powerhouse'football nation,do you still think that there still will be a sellout crowd for the Sweden,England and Paraguay matches?Peace out.

Football / Which Team had the better Cinderella story,TNT or Jamaica?

« on: November 22, 2005, 06:50:00 AM »

Hey Folks;
    Looking back at last week's euphoria of TNT reaching the world cup finals is nothing short of a Miracle.Out of over 200 teams that participated during the past 2 years we are among the top 32.In 1989,when 24 teams were vying for that place not as many countries were in the mix back then.You gotta remember that now,for e.g,the Soviet Union now consist of several nations.Maybe 1989 was meant to be.Remember Mexico was banned in participating because,as far as i can remember,the Mexican youth squad had overaged players and FIFA imposed a penalty,i.e non participation of the Senior mexico squad to vie for the 1990 World Cup finals in Italy.In other words,had Mexico participated back then ,knowing that there were onlly 2 teams to qualify from Concacaf,It would have been Mexico and Costa Rica going to Italy instead of Costa Rica and the USA.
   Anyway folks my main Question is this;How would you all compare Jamaica's qualification for the World cup in 1998 compare to that of TNT going next year.As you know there were some similarities between the two teams.Both TNT now and Jamaica back in 1997,had a rough start to the campaign.Which of the 2 teams had a more miraculous ride to the "Big Stage"?
   Lemme hear your comments on it.
