Excellent post, should try and get it in the newspapers or something. I think everyone who reads this will get a bit teary eyed, because we really got alot of negatie commments and we stood the test of time.
I felt so proud to stand every time I saw our bus and that slogan, “Here comes the Soca Warriors, the fighting spirit of the Caribbean”. Tears came to my eyes when our national anthem played for the whole world to hear. Words cannot explain the joy and pride.
We have made the detractors believe and I hope that this puts more wind in the sails of Trinidad and Tobago to become a reckoning force in the beautiful game we call football.
Our “Soca Warriors” have done their part, and did it well. The TEAM performed well beyond expectation and had some foreign media houses eating their words. We as a nation cannot ask anymore of them. The dashing runs of Carlos Edwards, the confidence and experience of Dwight Yorke, the sure hands of Shaka Hislop, the magic, by none other than our beloved Latapy ,and many many more inspiring performances of the other teammates. They gave so much out there on the pitch; it was worth their weight in gold.
Now it’s the turn of the Government, Corporate T&T and the citizens of this country to ensure that the dream of 2010 and 2014 does not die. Each and every one of us has a part to play, from supporting our children to supporting our Pro League Teams. T&T’s national team has shown us by example that in order to achieve, it has to be a TEAM effort. We are to use this momentum to catapult this twin island republic into the top ranking teams in the world. It is about time that this government recognizes what sport can do for this country on a whole. We have shown we have the talent to do it, its sad that it has taken so long for it to happen
Well done T&T, we can only go forward from here, “forward ever, backward NEVER!”
