Author Topic: Brazilian fan of T&T national team (Read 3616 times)

Hey!

I'm from Brazil and I started watching MLS in 2014, so I became a fan of San Jose Earthquakes and consequently started to follow the T&T national team because of Cordell Cato.

Now I'm watching every match possible of the team and I really enjoy it. I love to watch Molino, Mekeil Williams and Joevin Jones playing in MLS, and I'm extremely excited for Bostock and DeLeon debuts for the national team!

I'm trying to buy a jersey for more than 6 months and I can't find it here in Brazil, and it's too expensive to buy on American stores on internet. Do you guys know where I can find it cheaper?

Btw, I found this forum this week and loved it! I'll check it everytime.
If you have any doubts about Brazilian soccer or Brazil in general, we can talk!

Thanks!

Welcome you'll find a lot of Brazil fans here.
The first question I have is when will Dunga be fired?
I am completely unimpressed by his team selection.

He's shit, no one likes him. We're dumb choosing coaches, we said no to Guardiola and Sampaoli and chose Dunga. And our best Brazilian coach, Tite, said no to the national team because he prefers to stay at Corinthians.

Hopefully he'll be fired this year, but we never know...

Still a lot expensive

$1 = R$4
$80 = R$320

Jerseys here in Brazil are usually around R$160, so R$320 is like buying two... and I didn't even count the shipping that will probably be $15 (R$60) or more, and I can probably be taxed (more than 60% of the total price) hahah. It's hard to buy international stuff here in Brazil.

The jersey is actually on sale for $50.99 = R$204 but I get your point on the high prices.

Oh, sorry! I looked the price of the wrong jersey. Well, if they start selling Small I'll try to buy, I guess.

You're a fan of T&T and you're looking at a jersey for another country

I'm just messing with you, welcome aboard

I'm a Brazilian fan myself but lately they've been playing too much of a European brand and not the Brazilian samba free flowing style with flair that we like. I'm hoping for the best in Copa America.

Wow. Thanks for coming aboard. I am glad that our most recent loss converted into a new die hard fan.

I would like to know, what does the average Brazilian think when they hear T&T? Based on my experiences with Brazilians, most think Carnival. However, many do know about the Soca Warriors. I am guessing these are the true football fans..

Most of them know T&T because of the participation on the World Cup, but they never know any player of the team. Sometimes one or other person knows Kenwyne Jones because he played in EPL, but that's all.
Still a weak team if you think about the whole America, but I can see T&T, Panama and Costa Rica fighting to be the 3rd best in CONCACAF. Bostock will improve a lot this team, mark my words, he's great and will be the best on the team.

A test, to check if you is a real Brazilian. Fla or Flu ?

I'm from São Paulo so I don't care much about Rio de Janeiro teams, but just to give you an answer I think Flamengo would be my option.

Deeks · « **Reply #15 on:** May 26, 2016, 08:24:59 AM »

Hello Andre ....
I am only kidding. I am a big Flamengo fan. Santos is a close second. I also like Sao Paulo. I also like Nautico, because they came to TT in the early 70s. They were a 2nd division team, but they were extremely exciting. Flamengo in the Maracana with all those red, black and white jerseys and flags(T&T, T&T, T&T) was absolutely magical. And I got to see them on UNIVISION(formerly SIN) with Zico, Peu, Adilio, Junior, etc. I saw them beat Liverpool in Japan for the World club cup. Sao Paulo has some great clubs. Corinthians and Palmeires are no slouches either.

Hi Brother- Send me your address and I will ship you a T&T jersey,
I am touched by your loyalty to the Warriors.

Nice! I love when people of other countries are fans of Brazilian soccer. I'm only 20 years old, so I couldn't watch Zico, for example. I've never been to Rio de Janeiro and Maracanã, but Flamengo fans are really great! The stadiums I've already been are Canindé (Portuguesa), Pacaembu (Corinthians), Morumbi (São Paulo FC), Jayme Cintra (Paulista) and some others.
