Sounds to me that if this report is accurate, Zamora was right to hold out on playing for T&T hoping for a chance on playing for England.
ANY footballer in his circumstances and in his position could understandably do the same.
John Barnes was born & grew up in Jamaica yet played for England. Yuh doh hear yardies cussin he. Instead dem does big he up.
Shaka Hislop was very eligible to play for England and had they capped him when he was on the bench for England, he woulda never play for we. Shaka is a hero to many here but he chose England over T&T. He simply gave up on his England dream and played for T&T.
And Dwight Yorke, arguably the greatest player in T&T history publicly said that if he was eligible to play for England, he wouldn't hesitate to play for them because T&T was unlikely to go to the World Cup.
If you livin outside and your chile have a choice between reppin T&T or de country you livin in, you go vex wit dem if dey doh choose T&T? Especially wit Jackula suckin everybody dry? You go do yuh chile dat?
Good luck Bobby Zamora. To ass was wit everybody who vex and play fuh fitball. Hope to see you on the field for England in the coming World Cup.
This is all well and good except, he never said up front that he was choosing England ahead of T&T for the reasons already mentioned.. He made a choice for Trinidad & Tobago, had a passport processed and then subsequently renegued on that choice in the midst of a World Cup campaign and ahead of crucial fixtures.. and on multiple occasions
I have no qualms in saying that I truly believe he made more of his 'injuries' ahead of our World Cup qualifying fixtures to buy himself time while he was making up his mind.... and in so doing left our coaching staff and our preparations in an uncertain place..
So I'm happy for you all who can put your patriotic impulses aside, step back and be all objective about Mr. Zamora and wish him well in his future endeavors.. Sadly I will not be joining you on that boat...
Our national team is not an outside woman for you to dangle on a string while you making up your mind to see if you getting through with the one you truly love.
F**K ZAMORA!!!
