In chronological order:
1973, nine years old, living in Point Fortin,Trinidad and Tobago watching T&T being robbed in Haiti, feeling really sad because my entire household was depressed. Imagine watching some of your childhood football heros on the pitch crying(I'm saddened just writing about it now).
1989, 25 years old and the nightmare that is T&T WC qualifing is revisited...OH JAH!!... more depression.
2001(?) T&T's football team destroys Canada in the home and away on goal aggregate 6-0...very pleased. Haul Dey Ass!!
2001(?) watching T&T's football team beat Mexico 1-0 in Trini...no Mexican can ever talk football sh#t to me ever again. I could always remind them of '73 and '01.
2006 Unable to watch the T&T/ Mex game 2 live and being texted the highlights/lowlights...Imagine the emotional rollercoaster one goes thru reading "
Stern miss penalty" "ah want to kill him" "Mexico scores" then "Stern scores" and "Stern scores again" "game done, Trini win" and bawling like ah madman.
