"The SSFL does not prepare youth players for CONCACAF play. It is a recreational league which enjoys huge popularity and that's all."
Keith Lookloy made the above statement in 1999, just after returning from El Salvador with the U-17 team who took part in the second round of CONCACAF U-17 qualification. We lost 6-1 to El Salvador, 6-0 to Canada and 6-1 to Mexico.
SHOT!!! Dey still lookin fuh de ball.
It might upset some people but it doh make it any less true today as it was in 1999 or it was when Yorke and dem was playin.
Come to think about it.....I believe a lot of the myth of the "rell talented T&T footballer jed" comes mainly from viewing it from a SSFL perspective.
Dat "rell talented" like many other pursuits has to be viewed in context.
