Thank you to Flex and Tallman for this site where we as Trinbagonians can share our love and pain for our football team.
Thank you to Marc Purcell who was a pioneer for such a site and later the catalyst for Flex to create his own.
Thank you to all the forumites who come here regularly to post, to share ideas, opinions and just be Trini. There are times when we disagree with each other, but we have to learn to respect other views and accept other personalities.
Thank you when almost 4 years ago my wife was diagnosed with an illness that threatened her life, but I was able to escape to this forum to relieve my despair and sadness.
Thank you for her being so strong in the spirit that she is on her way to a full recovery.
Thank you to all the other nationalities that come on this site to make our lives more interesting.
Thank you to all the waggonists who have climbed on board looking to share in the excitement, love and a new dawn in T&T football. The world is full of skeptics and we all cannot be good soldiers, so this is what makes a die-hard supporter so special in his convictions.
Thank you Bertille St. Clair for returning as Coach of the national team and being instrumental in convincing our captain Dwight Yorke to come out of retirement. Bertille has his shortcomings as a coach, but he was a part of the puzzle to which we owe our success today.
Thank you to Beenhakker for accepting the post as coach, bringing his wealth of experience and taking us to the promised land.
Thank you to our beloved Soca Warriors for showing the discipline, desire and having the never-say-die mentality that we wanted to see in them all these years to take us to a World Cup and erase three decades of disappointment.
Thank you to Jack Warner for doing everything possible to realize our dreams.
Thank you to our beloved Soca Warriors again for giving me the opportunity to attend a World Cup and to embrace, jump, wave, sing and dance with MY people and to show Germany and the rest of the World what's it like to be ah TRINI.
See you guys in Germany!
