First: No match can be too fast for a brilliant player, if he only plays 10 - 15minutes!

Second: Against St.Pauli, all you said it was a B-team of T&T. Latapy played and was by far the best player besides Sancho...So for sure good enough for the last 15 minutes of any game.
No it may be too late indeed  :(

Indeed it was only supposed to be an "innocent question" from my side - I just wanted to know why...

For the German team I could also say it's the best 23 we have. But in our case it's onls parlty true. Because players like Halil Altintop, Hamit Altintop, Nuri Sahin (all playing for the Turkish National team) were born in Germany, grew up in Germany, speak much better German than Turkish, still play in Germany, but as a matter of poor integration policy in Germany they don't play for Germany...(same with Ivan Klasnic, playing for Croatia)
Most Junior teams in Germany , esp. in bigger cities ,wouldn't survive without players with Turkish, Croatian or African heritage...I'd say they make up about 50% these days, but only few end up playing for Germany (Asamoah, Odonkor, maybe Podolski who came to Germany at age 2). But things are changing, and we (finally!!!) will get used to the fact that a German National player (or Germans in general) can have ancestors from Africa or names like Mustafa!

Amen  :praying:

the indians more prefer to play cricket

That's what I thought - but don't try to eyplain cricket to a German...
I know it will sound blasphemic to you: But for us it's about the same as baseball  ???
Somebody throws a ball and somebody els tries to hit it with a stick ::)
I know that cricket games can last for some days, that's it...
I serious: Neither a single cricket nor a baseball match have ever been televised on German TV - I swear  :-[ but I don't miss it yet  ;D

Football / Indian Players in T&T
« on: June 12, 2006, 11:30:20 PM »
As far as I remember from my visits to T&T, you have a huge Indian poulation (About 40%??), and yesterday at the FIFA-party in Hanover I ran into a group of eight fans from TT that fit into that (Half African and half Indian heritage). But there are no Indian players in the national team. Have their ever been any?? Do they play football at all? What's the story?
I'm just interested ...
Thanks for your inputs.

real wizeguys those police in green outfit


You may get into trouble, if you only look out for people in green outfit (could be gardeners  ;D) Police is changing their regular outfit to black...for worldcup events they porbably wear their "fighting" outfit though, which is green indeed...

About alcohol and drugs: As a guideline I'd say, as long as you behave nobody will give you a hart time. Public trinking is no problem at all. You should't smoke dope in front of children, and you shouldn't carry more than you will consume "soon"....

For those still in need:

http://www.host-a-fan.de/ still offers plenty of room for reasonable prices... ::)

Is this salute is what I think it is ???????????

no, its the start of what german ppl call "LAOLA"-WAVE... sumthing like dis:


Yes, it's "Die Welle": and don't forget, you played against F.C. St. Pauli, a club known for its fight against racism!

Here parts from the official club homepage:
Parallel to the development of the St. Pauli district, which attracted increasing numbers of students, punks and artists, from the mid-eighties on an alternative fan scene came into being around the Millerntor, and for the first time the pirate flag was raised at the stadium. From this time on the skull and crossbones gave symbolic expression to the rebellious and pugnacious philosophy of the club and its fans.

This attitude paid dividends when the club once more earned promotion to the top division of the Bundesliga in 1988 – an event of mythic resonance. Remarkable contests were played out at the Millerntor home pitch against apparently invincible opponents. All the same, there was a constant concern for fair and civilised behaviour towards the opposing side. Incidentally, the St. Pauli football club was the first club to enshrine a ban on rightwing nationalist tendencies in its stadium rules right from the start.

The skull and crossbones has become a symbol of the fans of the St. Pauli Football Club – if not of the club as a whole – that is known throughout the length and breadth of Germany…One of the group in question, known as “Doc Mabuse”, actually did live at Block 6 in the Hafenstrasse, and it was he who first brought the skull and crossbones flag to the stadium. At the time this flag was the Hanseatic version of the widely familiar squatters’ symbol, and had links to a centuries-old tradition of piracy (in Hamburg associated from time immemorial with the name of  Klaus Störtebeker). The message, then, was “Poor against rich”, “Workers against bosses” and the like.

how far away is frankfurt hahn from frankfurt?

Big Up!

The bus takes 1 1/2 hours. Should be around 120 km.

For those who only arrive for the Paraguay match in Kaiserslautern, Hahn is a good choice, if you rent a car there.

highlights anyone??

well maybe lowlights, some amateur video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCV-0qYd54M&search=trinidad%20pauli
Nice Hells Bells goin on tho.

Normally these "Hells Bells" give you real Goose Pimples, especially at night games...
The yesterday match was indeed not very good,but it was a party anyhow...Lots of TT-flags, shirts, Reggae and Calypso Music etc.
Personally I would have liked to see Stern John and Dwight York playing, but at least i saw THE BOSS Russel Latapy. Not only a great player but also a great character - kept cool and helped to calm down the situation after the figtht and before the two red cards...

Here's another video: Arriving of the team before the match

Football / Re: Thread for the T&T v Slovenia game.
« on: June 01, 2006, 12:20:29 AM »
After all it's only a test...And tests are about making mistakes in order to avoid them in the future  ;)
Seriously: Which team has played excellent test matches without exception? None...
And for the matches against England and Sweden it's better anyway to be underestimated...

11
Meanwhile 15.000 tix have been sold. As the capacity of our stadium is only around 19.800, it'll be sold out, I guess...
So if anybody planning to come at short notice, better get your ticket now (starting at only € 9).

I know the question was probably asked before - but are there any channels here in the UK showing the game?  ???

If you know somebody with satellite TV (Astra): German ZDF will show higlights of the match + Italy vs. Switzerland at 8:45 p.m. UK time. :o

13
T&T vs. St. Pauli (june 5th, 19:00) will be shown on DSF. Should be possible to receive it in the U.K. via Astra

14
I wish  ;D...
On matchday though we all will be working for F.C. St. Pauli: Looking for a new striker in the T&T squad  for our team 8) ;D

Reißender Ticket-Absatz für das Trindad-Spiel
 
Das hätte wohl niemand erwartet: Am Montag, den 5. Juni (18 Uhr), erwartet der FC St. Pauli das WM-Team von Trinidad und Tobago zum Freundschaftsspiel am Hamburger Millerntor.
 
 
Ursprünglich hatten die Verantwortlichen mit rund 10.000 Fans gerechnet. Diese Prognose muss bereits fast zwei Wochen vor der Partie nach oben korrigiert werden. Für die Begegnung mit den „Soca Warriors“ wurden bereits 8.000 Tickets abgesetzt.

Basically it says: 10.000 fans havebeen expected for the match. Now they have to rise expectation, because more than 8.000 tix have been sold already.   :applause:

T&T scores 3-2 win over Vienna.
By: Shaun Fuentes.
[/size]

Trinidad and Tobago's World Cup squad scored a comfortable 3-2 win over Austria Vienna in a training match at the Thermen Arena on Tuesday before an appreciative crowd of 900 odd fans.

900 fans :( what a shame...
for the match against St.Pauli Hamburg on June 5th more than 8.000 tix are sold already - should become a big party... :party:

I got my tickets last week while I was out the country. I bought Three but now my father inlaw says he doesn't wanna go. So I asked a trini friend of mine to go. I don't see a seating area though. Only this is where I will be

GEGENTRIBÜNE Singing Area

The link doesn't work (for me at least)

Singing Area is where the most creative St. Pauli Fans stand during the regular season. I think it's seats actually, but they all stand and sing  :whistling: and do all the chorographies.
For sure you should have a roof above your head (hope we don't need it).
I don't manage to load the picture - I'll mail it to you

O.K. - here we go: You will sit indeed...but standing up is allowed of course  ;)

u11 should be you block, check it out

2006 World Cup - Germany / Re: Left Luggage - Germans, please help
« on: May 15, 2006, 05:41:21 AM »
In Nuernberg and Frankfurt airports you can leave your luggage at special counters.

It's much cheaper though to rent a locker at the railwaystations (no problem in FRA, because the station(FERNBAHNHOF) is part of the airport.
In NUE the railwaystation is located in between the airport and the stadium, so I'd recommend to drop the luggage there (travel time from the airport to the stadium is 40 minutes by subway, and you have to change trains at the main station anyway...).

Price for the locker should be € 4 per day.

Good luck! :peace:

I bought 3 13Euros seats. dont know where that is but can sing and make noise ;D
EUR 13 each - you will stand, I guess  ;D but making noise is welcome for sure. And sitting is "for the butt" anyway, as we say (in German "für den Arsch" - meaning forget about it...).

The match will be on a public holiday  :) so enough time to party before...maybe some kind of meeting can be arranged..

21
Got mine already  ;D

You real fast  :notworthy:
Where will you stand / sit?
I usually stand in the "Nordkurve", Bock H

Iceland is not a great squad, but certainly better than Bahrain, Guatemala etc.
And they play "English-style", so to me a good preperation!

Football / Re: Great white hope
« on: January 10, 2006, 04:47:46 AM »
Unfortunately race is an issue far too often. When we had our first black national player in germany (Gerald Asamoah) it was a big issue (no comments against him of course). Now there's another one (Patrick Owomoyela) and it's getting more normal. In the U21 there some players with African or Turkish heritage. I like it.
Another example: I used to play in a team called "Cool & Deadly" on St. Thomas, USVI. Orginally it was a team founded by players from Antigua. But we also had players from St. Croix, Jamaica, St. Vincent, Trinidad, Grenada and thre white players: one from Denmark, one from Peru and myself from Germany. Everybody was welcome and respected inside the team,
but some of the supporters had the opinion we had "too many white players" in the team...(I heard those comments myself).
Just a story...
In general I think Trinidad is very progressive concerning an open / nonracial society
