In anouncing that Leo Beenhakker has left to coach Poland yesterday, the fine folks at Fox Sports Canada stated that:"Leo had coached Real Madrid, Holland , the last being Trinidad and Tobago ...THE AFRICAN NATION looked impressive in the World Cup..."

Not only has T&T moved out of Jamaica but moved over into the a whole new continent and confederation all together.

Thanks Fox Sports

Geography is not a strong suit for many people, regardless of their job. I once spoke with a high-ranking banking officer in Wall Street, New York who, when I said I was calling from the Cayman Islands, got all enthusiastic and asked me how was the weather in South America. Helloo???

Dont get mad at the ignorance. lol. Look at that statement as being half right!

weary1969 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 12, 2006, 08:28:42 PM »

Geography was not my strong point either that is why I dropped after Form 3. There is no reason why a journalist should be talking such crap. It is worst because the whole world now how much of an idiot he is.

Maybe he was speaking in reference to the racial compositon of the players on the field. If not then he must really think Trinidad is physically in the mother land!

I doh tink so..as all sports media outlets dont refer to teams by racial composition....but by region

its a simple case of ignorant reporter/no research...not uncommon

To classify the Brits on the same level as the Americans, is a lil unfair to them.

Americans generally know nothing outside of the US...
I saw an interview with Rosie O donnel and she said she never heard of a country called Argentina.... Ah mean ah could understand if it is some obscure country but o gorm..
Most of the Americans I meet outside of where I work, have never been outside the US... A big holiday is to go Florida... They have little or no interest in what is happening outside the United states.

It have things we could start dealing with from now....... Save 10 a week if yuh have too, tell yuh boss 4 years in advance for sick leave, From bout 2009 yuh could start fren-ing up de wife or husband so dat aint go be no problem, Start to practice lil African words and finally de SW massive go have to conduct some bake sale and car wash to pay for man like WF, RF and some a dem Bahrain man and dem to go wid we just in case Canada, Jamaica and Barhain doh make it again. Its only 3.5 coming out. Trinidad, Mexico, Cuba and half fuh America.

Probably a Freudian slip. Our team is made up primarily of black players and he made a mistake. It was stupid, but not unheard of. Plus, sonds like it was read by an anchorman, not a reporter...so he was likely reading off a teleprompter. His writer is the most likely candidate for that idotic mistake, but most anchors usually check the integrity of stories and/or can apologize and rectify errors on air when they notice one...

what's that now..strike 22?

When you move to the US and have to deal with ignorant questions like, "do Trinidadians live in trees?" you learn to ignore them. Just correct them and move on. It's not worth the time or energy to argue.

When I told them I was from trinidad,they ask me is it true you guys use donkeys as your mode of transportation:my reply was "yes and also vines"

You know there are many people in the so called developed coutries who do not even know that Trinidad and Tobago exists and to make matters worst even they know of our existence, they think we are still natives living in trees.
