Best team to ever visit T&T.

[Sando]

Who was the best team to ever visit T&T.

I say, England in June 2008 and dont tell me is the retired Brazil All Star team.

That Jamaican team with Tappa Whitmore, Lowe and Goodison was quite a handful.

i'd say England, its not often that they play international games in this part of the world.

[Daft Trini]

Manchester United in the 80's....

[Errol]

What about the Brazil under 20 team that was beaten by T&T under 20 team that Yorke was part of, the same T&T team that went to the WC in Portugal in 1991.

I think that Brazil team had Ronaldhino and Roberto Carlos on it. ?

Roberto Carlos is 7 years older than Ronaldinho- don't imagine that they ever played on the same U-20 team.

Santos wit Pele

One of the best goals by a T&T player in an "international" game.  ASL was de de facto national team dem days.

There is no argument that the BEST TEAM to visit was that England team a couple years ago. The other that people throw in is squads with Great players.

There is no argument in YOUR MIND.

Never, this England squad would run circles against those old unfit romantics.

Flamengo in the 80's with Zico and Socrates when they played against ASL and Lobo scored a boss header for ASL

Flamenco was with Zico.
Paulista Corinthians was with braz Capt. Socrates.#

Lobo scored with his foot vs Flamenco and the header was vs PC. To this day one of the best headers I have ever seen.

It shows how sad TT is that we have to have a thread like this-

In the 80s in the middle of a recession I saw the following teams from 1982 to 85 most of them courtesy of Arthur Suite: World Club champs - Flamenco, Paulista Corinthians, Arsenal, Man U, Tottenham, Sweden, Rep. of Ireland, the Russian Olympic team. There was also a youth team from Brazil I think Sao Paulo but cant remember now.

Best team to tour...tough but I will say a toss up between Santos, Flamenco and the
Eng. sr team.

Well by my contribution all yuh go guesstimate my age. Nautico (1972?). They played 3 games in the Oval. All sold out. Scores were 3-1 Nautico, 4-4 2nd game and 1-0 TT, the 3rd. They had one player(Eloi) who was on the fringes of the Brazilian team. They were not the best Brazilian team to ever hit the shores of TT. But probably the most exciting football series ever played in TT.

[Trevor]

It would have to be England.  However, I enjoyed Nautico (1971) more than any other team I saw.  Deeks, I gather one should be able to tell that we are old timers.

[College]

If we choose to go by FIFA rankings then is probably Norway

[nnyman18]

Good one VB after I posted the thread I knew I was off with the teams 

[Spursy]

England

[supporter]

The question should be how can the TTFF mess things up so badly that teams dont even consider touring Trinidad anymore?

[Jah Gol]

In my time it would have to be the England team. Walcott is the fastest player I've seen in the HCS.

[Observer]

Santos with Pele
Corinthians with Socrates
India with Gavasta, Bedi dem 

[AirMan]

Based on the quality of players on the team then I would say England..

I think any full strength Mexico team that visited between 1996 -2004 is equal to this England team..This England team is not as strong as people believe it was. If it was  a full strength england team, I'd have given them.

[sjahrain]

Santos with King Pele...
Only because I was there

[scooby]

does anyone remember the black all starts with garth cooks and viv anderson to name a few, also ny comos were a very good team pele chilnalia, fransciso marino, alberto carlos, beckenbauer
