Letter to the Trinidad Guardian
I read with pleasure the defeat of Mexico by T&T. However, I want to deal with the prospect of the boys going to Bahrain for the match.
I travel that route back and forth every month and I can foresee the difficulties the team will face with jet lag and a seven-hour time difference, especially with the home and away games being so close.
Bahrain is no easy team to beat. They also have enough good players to rest a few who will not be affected by the rigours of flying.
Jack Warner and the coach should think of approaching the Government to assist with flying the guys over by special charter so that they can get enough rest.
Also, beware of the Bahrain hospitality. Bahrain is one of the “anything goes” places where booze and women flourish. There is plenty time for party after winning.
The Trini Posse in Saudi Arabia will be on hand to lend support to the guys, complete with flags, steel pan, iron, the whole works, so the support is there.
