Building a stellar chain of steel

Friday, August 10th 2007
 
Whatever the age group, qualification for any world competition is an achievement. That is why even before Trinidad and Tobago's National Under-17 football team begins matching its character and skill against the other teams in the FIFA World Cup we continue to commend its achieving of one of the coveted spots.

Both in theory and in practice that was never going to be easy and the team's members had to dig deep into their resources of commitment to prove wrong those of their compatriots who had given up on them during the bleaker parts of their campaign.

The most we can ask of them is that they bring those very resources to the South Korean fields of play, whatever the strength, or otherwise, of their competition. If they do so, they would have matched the most discernible quality of the national senior team's historic World Cup outing last year in Germany.

Once that stellar steel chain becomes the unbreakable link among all the teams that play international football in the name of Trinidad and Tobago this country will be building for the future even as it continues to win plaudits, win or lose, in present ongoing tournaments

Hmmm. Interesting timing.
