Watch the list:
Kelvin Jack, Marvin Andrews, Brent Sancho, Atiba Charles, Cyd Gray, Aurtis Whitley, Silvio Spann, Chris Birchall, Stern John, Kenwyn Jones, Colin Samuel and Anthony Wolfe.

That team could beat the team Wim call up? Avery not there cuz MLS in season.
If FPATT play a game every time TT play that will be quite something.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the Warriors are going to be in the country for that event. I hope they seize the opportunity to settle this dispute through arbitration and move forward with the most formidable team we ever had.

Local Based Nation Members should push for a representitive squad, Maybe alyuh could get a lil 15 mins to demonstate the fanbased Skills

It is important for fans to come out and support this event because believe it or not.

This is a Banned players versus TTFF undercurrent thing going on and as fans we need to show on which side of the fence we stand.

I applaud the players for at least trying to put an event together instead of accepting the usually bullshit and walking away.

These players could easily be touring europe the week after the season done instead they going back home to try to build the future of TnT Players Union.

Who supporting the country now.

Wish I could be there. Serious, the FPATT team could win some respect in the Gold Cup. You may never see a T&T include many of these players again. As for the celebs, they have 60 volunteers!

Think its going to be a real party and a realllll embarrassment for Camps and Warner. Gonna live long in the memory of those who go.

Did you hear the old lady who called Fearless last night from her sick bed and said she really wanted to go, but as she couldn't, she wanted to make a donation. Makes your heart proud.

KSM, I admire your optimism dread

.

I will be happy if Sancho, Jack and de others jess secure dey future for their remaining playing days and help the up and coming youngsters to have an organization that looks after their needs and welfare, as T&T is really a heartless country at times. Ah wouldn't mind if these players contribute to T&T football someday( AFTER

) they see about themselves first. Yyyyepp!

Any other victory is jess bonus.
