Thread for the T&T vs England Game (01-Jun-2008).

[Socaman]

FYI
it's being shown live at Nevada Smiths (74 3rd ave at 11th Street, Manhattan). There's $10 Cover charge since it's a Setanta PPV broadcast. here's a link to their website http://www.nevadasmiths.net/fixtures.html

The bars listed on the on the Setanta link are Setanta subsribers, but MAY NOT CARRY THE GAME because it's PPV, so call them first.

Okay who going? if I get a partner I in!!

I'll be there! I expect a large english contingent, so we need some more folks to balance d room. Ah go be hoarse tonight, oh gawd.

I just called to confirm that they showing de game!! Am trying to get a few partners do go

[FF]

Manhattan crew... de lime is in McCormack's...

quite a few forumites will be there

[ZANDOLIE]

This match will/should give the local players a taste of the kind of ball they only been seeing on TV up til now. Plus it could send a signal to the rest of the world (depending on how we do) that T&T ready for big time football. Not to mention as Dutty said it will have a big impact on the kids who should get an early idea of what to aspire to.

Boss man they not bringing live on Setanta USA, only broadband live. Setanta USA showing that on June 2 nd @ 8 pm. I have the broadband , but I have no idea if I buy it or not.it real forking around!!

[FLi !]

And if our inexperienced and primarily local based defence get ripped apart and we lose by 3 or more, people will remember TnT as the team who got easily beaten in Trinidad, as opposed to our reputation now as the team that held England for 82 minutes in a WC final game until the hand of crouch intervened.

Frankly, I preferred the latter.

But experience wise, it's a once in a life time opportunity for the players. (Still have no idea why Yorke is there!)

We supposed to coast on that reputation for how long again?  T&T football have to grow up sometime. It can't always be a smooth, confidence building process. Sometime a good cutarse is the best motivation.

And who knows, they might surprise plenty people 

[BlazinTrini]

that sucks...I guess I have to do the stream then off the web

Explain to me how we growing up by inviting 36 yr olds to play in a game when we're supposed to be blooding our younger footballers for the future and impending WC qualification ?

In any event, the team in 2006 got to play England largely based on merit, whereas this opportunity is entirely political.

[Sando prince]

the same signifance when we played out last four games against Barbados, Grenada, jamaica and El Salavador...World Cup preparation..This is just an opossition of much higher quality...therefore more people is more interested in this game rather than the previous games...(and the fact that Yorke making an appearance does not change the fact that this game is still preparation going into the campaign)

Yeah I am not in agreement with the politics etc. either.  I just hope that Yorke will serve as a buffer to the D by  give them a little time and space to deal with the opposition. That I believe is what the plan SHOULD be. I would much prefer the team pre-Yroke so as to give the PL youths a taste of real competition.

But again, I glad they getting the chance to take licks. The ride can't always be smooth, especially not in T&T football. And that D will have plenty to chew on this evening with or without Yorke.
