Hi folks my name is Mike Samuel, I love football back in the 80's while growing up in T&T I heard of a US team beating England in the 1950 world cup game in Brazil, which many football fans in T&T doubted and would actually call up a ttt sports announcer asking if that story was really true! (During the world cup back then I think it was 86 or it could've been 88!)

I've found some links on line that makes the story a very human and rich tale for all to hear and be inspired by enjoy the story.
