What's the issue now girls?? rivalry or no rivalry, JA and TT is two peas in ah pie, they might as well be rivals cause no one else who matters wants them! you don't see no one with pedigree rushing to play them do you? and both their football is in serious jeopardy BC they are runned by two big crooked a$$ thieves who to them the development of the football on the island is 3rd fiddle!
football on these two island has been nothing short of ah roller coaster ride with no serious development and it shows in the CCL, as for our US rivalry? pllleeaasseeeee! every one knows the US biggest rivals is mexico, never knew TNT was on the list of things to do!
don't be fooled, it's been ah while since the US acknowledged us as serious competition, just look @ the way their commentator polk fun @ us when we play them, even clint dempsey said that he was happy when bobby zamora injured himself and couldn't play for us, he said something to the effect of luckily for him he didn't commit to T&T, "i really think england would be a better choice BC T&T is poor ( eh ready yet)" or something to that effect.
maybe mexico may have ah little more respect for us BC sometimes we match up better with them, whereas when we play USA is total domination and they make us look like total minnows, especially with their size fitness understanding of the game and technical ability.
it's like we really eh understand what takin place here. once upon ah time football had royalty, now just like the old system of the monarchy has taken ah back seat to political governance which has now become the norm and royalty has now become a formality, same with football. now the rest of the world has caught up to the stand outs, just last week japan buss argentina and italy is catchin their nenen to beat scotland and ireland.
that black list was no joke, it took us right back to the inception! what a blow that was on our football, and it showed in the results we've been having the past 4 yrs. we have sucked @ every single competition since 06 digcel cup.
losses to grenada and ultimately failing to qualify for our confederations biggest competition kept our young stand outs from being scouted, which was definitely a major set back.
like rijbergen said, we need to raise the bar on the level of play in the local league, we need yute academies in every region of the twin islands, we also need tuh abandon the big stadiums and establish area small 5000 capacity venues like what yuh see in the lowest leagues in england, small and intimate to encourage spectator turn out and area pride.
but even i being naive, BC with these monkeymen runnin tings in trinidad and tobago, nothing like that will ever ever happen until some foreign whiteman step in and spend his own money.
all i saying is pan in danger and so is our football! allyuh better say thank god jamaica consider we still as competition, BC i have ah feelin they getting ready to step up to higher heights. maybe if things stays the same , i could see our new rivals in time to come as montserrat or anguilla. positive.
