2 both.....These days, nobody wants a regular kangaroo leather boots....off centre lacing, control grips...etc..are what sells....(even though I dont feel the difference)...
3 Nike
4 Nike Tiempo Air Legends......gonna get d Nike Lasers this season though...
Anybody have any idea how they evaluate these players during tryouts? Do they just put them thru the paces or is it in-practice scrimmages or...??
In my mind it just seems so difficult to gauge unless you evaluate in actual game situations (and impractical as that may be).
Somewhere we missed the point about compensation after the injuries. as though no one cared. i get the impression that he was abandoned. Whatever happened to Compassion.
Yeah boy ah was reading de thread and thought people woulda latch on to dat, but no one did till you brought it up.....
Ok, now I doh profess to know ah whole lot about how dese things work, but ah know he was realeased from his club, so ah take it dem eh help out with de bills from de injury, but den how ah man who reeeaallll represent in de WC have to suffer through ah injury like this??....De man literally spell it out....he eh get no support from nobody.....

the women yuh talking about playing international football......doh try to mamaguy anybody nah man
I ask this question because ah passionate bout meh country and meh ball. however, it seems like we as a people cant get together, as one united front, to dominate the sport we love. from the heads in charge of the game (the associations) to the attitude of the players, all have contributed negatively on the impact of the game as we trinis know it. i was thinking this until i read the express this morning and saw the article talking about the west indian cricketers not wanting to do any hard training. i remember so vividly many so called "big players" duckin hard training. maybe its a caribbean thing?? maybe not!!!
i started talking bout this cause as a trini, me and 2 other trinis decided to enter a "trini" based team into a league. the league has about 4 to 5 jamaican teams...no trini teams. now all these other teams winning with our people so we decided to join forces and represent we nation proudly. i even heard to my face ah jamaican organiser of one of the teams say that "trini ballers have de talent but no head. all yuh have to give dem is a piece ah bread and taxi fare and they good with that." Regardless to say me and de yardy almost end up in fist-to-cuffs. but after dealing with "we" people in trying to do something positive for us, i understand y he said what he said.
after me and the other organisers went knocking on doors to gain sponsorship (because what little trinidad business they have aint even entertaining your conversation bout sponsorship) and we get grounds with lights, uniforms and all that is needed, it have players who aint showing up for training and generally not contibuting to nothin. however, we have some africans and 2 jamaicans on the team...is the most dedication from dem fellas..and this thing aint even about dem!!! the sad thing is the same jamaican organiser who insulted us, have 3 or 4 trinis still playing for him. why we people like to settle for 2nd best. it affects our society and contributes to the nonsense with trinidad football.
For us to make it to the next world cup our attitudes need changing...from the influential to the man sweating small goal. we need to come together and unite. we always quick to bad talk jamaicans...but dem loyal to their cause and will fight tooth and nail for what they believe in. it dont have enough of our people who like that. so i challenge all formuites to start ah new trend towards our fight to get to the next world cup. Tallman and Flex have the forum to influence public opinion so leh we utilize it.
Appreciate the opportunity to vent fellas!!!
#8+1 playing in dis boy?The 2007 International Soccer Festival - April 22-28
Futbol Internacional 2007 will be the one of only 4 world-wide international women's soccer events of its kind outside of the Olympics and World Cup. This will be entirely in Alabama in different locations around the state. Unlike other promoted events, as AYSA and 501c3 non profit, we will also provide free soccer clinics to the communities, and the proceeds will go to supporting our outreach, in both the inner city and rural areas.
Matches will be in stadiums across the state with the opening games in Legion Field Stadium, home of the 1996 Olympic Soccer Matches, in Birmingham. Overall spectator attendance is anticipated at 35,000 with a state wide economic impact (non-local) of over $2,400,000. A wide range of marketing strategies will be utilized including grassroots, television, radio, print, website, and electronic media. A component of our marketing campaign will be every youth soccer player in the state will receive a free players’ ticket to the finals and information from our sponsors! Beyond the scope of just Alabama we will utilize our sister youth soccer state associations and our national association, United State Youth Soccer Association, in our marketing efforts, regionally and nationally.
In support of the 2006 event, were Governor Riley, Senator Shelby, and Congressman Davis. This year we are undertaking a much larger event with a greater reach to the communities both for the event and for the growth of our outreach! Every youth soccer player in the state will receive 1 free ticket with information from our sponsors thanking them for their support!
