First of all, hell fackin NO! 2nd for the sake of argument,if we was tuh have ah "WI" team i would want half of the guadelope team for starters with latas stern and KJ.

as for carlos and birchall, please! birchall could hardly shield ah ball and make ah simple elementary pass, but he good enough tuh replace ah hyland or whitley. sstttuueeepppsss.

birchall could hardly make ah league one team on ah regular basis, but he could surpass so much good players we have here in the WI. give me ah break!

Preacher that's ah real bad idea

. the only reason it kinda worked with cricket is BC the british most likely set it up that way before independence and national pride, and since cricket was already ah big deal in the WI during colonial times they went for it and it worked out,

but could you imagine if we had ah WI football team? total chaos

!

imagine we here have two islands and ppl from bago does dun cry how they doh have enough representation

, could you imagine if we had tuh share with the whole region ?!

this whole thing is just nonsensical, it would never work!!!!!!!

sjahrain · « **Reply #4 on:** July 12, 2009, 07:06:47 AM »

That is a recipe for total meltdown

Remember when Pele came to Trinidad the second time,well he played against the same idea of a WI side,there was a youth from Jamdown,I think his last name was Bell,he made the side as a forward ahead of Ron La Forest,the man was out of his league and totally not with it,that left a bitter taste,so let us not have such grand thoughts alone

In that game Tesheria gave Pele all he could handle,he just could not get past the Red wall...

A WI football team does not have to include the 'big guns'. JA and T&T dont have to be part of it as their teams can remain independent. But the smaller islands like Grenada, St Vincent and St Lucia could combine their federations and form one team. At the moment, they just making up numbers.

I agree. If you read the history of the "Caribbean FA" in the early 50's and the "British Caribbean FA" in the late 50's shortly before independence (links in the WI coach dies thread) they never worked out beyond a few exhibition tours and in fact never played against another international team aside from the British Olympic team.

This has been discussed many times before, and even fifa say hell no cause it will lessen the votes and thing, and cause other reigons to try the dame thing I.E. united kingdom, middle east, etc etc.... it cannot work, mabe if we had done it like in the 30's or 40's but not at this stage.

Gunman,
The UK, GB or whatever should in reality be one team if FIFA were to go strictly by the book. The Brits got an exception because the so called "four nations" were among the countries that formed FIFA in the early 1900s. That was in serious colonial times. UK, GB is one country and has one passport. Britain is one country in the UN, not 4.

And the only way the Caribbean can play in the WC as a unified team, is if they were to form a federation again. And you all know that is not happening no matter how much Patrick talk thru his posterior.

Well let's just say hell freeze over.

and this did happen. Which players from T&T getting a guaranteed spot? I can't see more than three players on that regional squad. Granted I not up on the PFL like some. KJ , doubtful, Latas, Yorke to old. Could it be just Carlos?

Ah like how nobody (except Trindogg it seems) answering the question posted in the thread. The man asked IF there was a WI team, which Trinis would make the squad...not whether or not we think it's a good idea....everybody (almost everybody) gone off on a tangent about how terrible the idea is, when nobody eh ask that...

That said I think Carlos, Kenwyne, Scotty, Birchall, Stern, Tinto, Cornell, Yorke, Lawrence, Hyland, D.Roberts & Scott Sealy could all make the team...they probably wouldn't all make it, but in terms of ability I they're probably among the better players in W.I. that would be considered for selection .

Yeah I would go for that Guad. mid-fielder with dreads very aggressive and skillful. We used to have so much players that was obvious standouts. I don't know what happen, somehow we brand get water down.

The topic that most responses are addressing on the other hand, sure...that's up there with the Pele v Maradona discussion as far as recycled topics go
