Warriors make history with 2-1 win over USA.

[palos]

Wouldn't you cry if you was dem?

We is dem Haiti, USA & Jamaica all roll into one.

De only other team dem hate more dan we is Honduras.  Dem 2 actually had a war over a football match back in de day.  No lie!

We poison dem in 89

We poison dem in 2005

We poison dem again in 2008

I totally understand their frustration.  Especially when they see us in footballing terms like how we used to see de USA back in 89, and how we see Barbados now....as a footballing non entity.  Whether they correct or not...and obviously they not, they feel dey superior to we in terms of football.  Dey feel dey more skillful, better players etc and view us as "WILD".

Sound familiar?

That was actually El Salvador and Honduras....Guatemala was'nt involved.

My bad.  Thanks for de correction.  Den it eh have any team dem hate more dan we. 

[Weh-it-is]

Haul dey mudder c#nt

I am Benedicts Bwoy and I approve of this message !

Me too....

That approving message business. I trade mark tha phrase on here, so alyuh have to pay me ah monie to use it ok. 

I need ah wuk.

[kicker]

Then yuh have idiots going on record promising that we'll get to South Africa.... 

[Filho]

Some will argue that 5.5 is still too high for Spann lol

 especially when yuh give skilla a 4.5?

i agree w. the report. i find Daniel had a medicore game. One of our least effective players, without necessarily looking it.

he have a real nice touch and a bess shield. he keeps possession well, but he too slow to distribute, and almost always allows the opposing team to regroup cuz when he gets, he most likely to turn his back on his marker and enagage in ah shielding exercise. he made no crosses of note and didn't show much of a passing range. compare him to his opposite..Carlos Edwards. Carlos covered every inch off that right side. Daniel didn't seem to travel more than a few yards either side of half line. For a left sided midfielder, he did little to stretch the US right back and he didn't do enough in defense to protect Akil Edwards. He is a neat, skillful player, and it was there for all to see. But to me, his performnace could best be described as someone with definite skill and great balance, who didn't appear to do anything wrong. unfortunately, that doh mean he did too much right

Imagine dat!!!  They probably feel exactly the same as we feel about de US all dem years (have better talent but can never get de result).  Sad part is I think (like we do at times as well) they overestimate their talent and quality.

To me Keon Daniel has a nice shot...other than that I doh really rate him yet.  Trinis love a player who appears fleet footed and could put a beat down on the opposition...so a player like Keon will be a local favorite.  I think he has potential because of his physical attributes, because he can shoot and he appears to have confidence with the ball at his feet... but from what I've seen apart from the goal against Guate his actual output on the field has been ordinary at best.

Releasing potential and realizing potential are matters of choice, not chance.... ....

Black beasts eh?
That is a questionable comment.

I have a feeling that Ian Prescott taking that 'black beast' thing out of context.  There's a french term bete noire that yes, means "black beast", but it's not a racial reference, but rather a reference to something that's been a particular bane or source of fear.

for example... the US has long been our footballing bete noire.   I have a feeling that that's how Prensa Libre meant it.

Before all yuh start, "black beast" have no racist connotation eh.

In French (bête noir) and Spanish, black beast mean you nemesis, yuh blight, your insurmountable obstacle.

Funny though how many languages the word black/dark has so many negative connotations...

Lol... ah know ah shoulda finish reading before ah post

Guatemalans cry over result
-Ian Prescott

Friday, October 17th 2008



Ramon Maradiaga, Guatemala's Honduran coach, has come in for harsh criticism and likewise Trinidad and Tobago for twice ending Guatemala's World Cup run, according to the country's top newspaper Prensa Libre.

La Presa's main story yesterday said: "Trinidad y Tobago, su verdadera bestia negra", which roughly translates to "Trinidad and Tobago is a true black beast".

Prensa Libre carried reports on both T&T's 2-1 win over the USA and Guatemala's 2-1 defeat, their first-ever loss against Cuba.

One report commended T&T, describing the Soca Warriors as showing they can play good football against the USA, while the other story described T&T as black beasts.

It was reported that Guatemalans packed bars and homes anticipating a good result on Wednesday against Cuba. There was a great uproar when they were level 1-1, and at the same time the USA equalised with Trinidad and Tobago in the 75th minute.

Prensa Libre reported that the night eventually ended in anger and sorrow for many Guatemalans.

Yesterday's Prensa Libre headline read: "Adios SudAfrica" (Goodbye South Africa).

And although Guatemala still have a mathematical chance of advancing to CONCACAF'S Final Round of World Cup qualifying, the consensus in the Central American country is that their World Cup chances are gone.Â

They say the beginning of the end came when Guatemala failed to beat T&T last Saturday.

That have a nice ring to it.  Maybe we should start change Soca Warriors to "The Black Beast"   Sound menacing.

Una Bestia Negra is not racist but is a form of saying that T&T is like a their nemesis or better yet bette noire. We are like their party spoiler. It is more of a praise in this circumstance.

[Deeks]

Some of us taking the the black-beast conotation out of context. Bakes is correct in clarifying what the term really meant. To me it means that TT is a pain in Guatemala arse. That is all. Nothing else.
