I still ent fully see what it is he pull to get out that corner to set up Altidore's second goal. This is what to me is the sweet thing about watching this team...son of Ghanaian immigrants setting up the son of Haitian immigrants for the score, while on the Senior team, Ricardo Clark...son of Trini immigrants doing big things for them. The team is a true melting pot of cultures and ethnicities.
Ricardo Clark family are Jamaican immigrants, not trini.... wherever allyuh get that info, it incorrect. The man parents Jamaican not trini.
From what I understand his father is from Trinidad. Now he may be wrong hahahaha
This is what I thought too...but I couldn't find any information one way or another, only that he was born in Atlanta. Any sources?
Arimaman...any sources about him being Jamaican?
Sources...what allyuh think this is google? Actually, one of my good friends who is a licensed coach here in GA, knows his dad and brother very well. That's my source.
I have to interject a little bit there Brent his Dad is actually trini and his mom is guyanese my source is well me.....I'm friends with his family his brother played with me in college and we roomed together his dad coaches too always a really quiet youth used to come by us in school to hang out i so we try to put kick on him but he always eluding tackle ...he pretty quick and technically sound.
I will reconfirm again.
