GenX Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 GO SOCA WARRIORS!!! (Trinidad & Tobago). Yeah we're the smallest country to ever qualify for the world cup but as you can see we could cope with the big guys. Let's just hope that Latapy plays on Thursday against England. Anyway... I just wanted to be patriotic for my country. To all those people out there who never heard about our country, they should visit us around Carnival time, it'll be one of the best experiences ever. By the way, we don't use vodoo in our country...we use obeah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciberfog Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Well I am worried about Iran... they always give 100% and they work as a team. Mexico 3-1 iran tomorrow mty mty? o algun municipio cerca? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

supershanks Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Mexico 3-1 iran tomorrow think it might be closer but best of luck Sorrento :nod: Chiquidracula saw an angel before the game Or he's after a ref's job in premiership. He'd probably be in good company with some of the jokers we have. He was stopping players getting water which is pretty stupid when they weren't delaying play. @GenX - Great result m8, seeing the likes of shaka h & the others cheering trinidad on is 2nd nature as all are well known faces in uk. Just a slight conflict of interests on thursday. Enjoy the carnival & may all your parties be great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorrento Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Rules are rules... check the book and Chiquidracula would be right about stopping them to take water at certain times... but the rules were created for other reason, not stopping people from drinking water After Ecuador/Poland and Sweeden/Trinidad... I am not sure any predictions are wise. The diference is huge between Mexico and Iran, but in all history the bigger team never plays well against a smaller one, while the smaller one always plays its best against the bigger one. Then there was the issue of the goalkeeper's dad dying on Wednesday, him flying to Mexico and then flying back the next day... I am not sure he will be ok to play today. /Edit: I haven't slept well during the last three days: between work, the World Cup and some annoying people I have around me I have slept maybe 5 hours per night, and zero tonight I went to sleep at 9 pm, but my sister's dog started a 30 minutes bark opera and woke me up. She is flying to Moscow in a few hours to make a article... ha, I wish I was the one going Now I totally forgot about the British GP... 1 hour and 46 minutes from now... then the Netherlands vs. Servia and Montenegro game... 1 hour for shower and have breakfast, then Mexico vs. Iran , then one hour to rest a little, and then the Portugal vs. Angola game (need to see what the two have)... when this last game finishes it will be 4 pm here, maybe I will then sleep a little :drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supershanks Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Hi Sorrento, no Chiquidracula & the water was exactly as you described him, he bothered to enforce the rule whilst other refs would only bother if it delayed/interfered with play. The diference is huge between Mexico and Iran, but in all history the bigger team never plays well against a smaller one, while the smaller one always plays its best against the bigger one. - exactly, GenX & obeah may do for us on thursday :confused: maybe I will then sleep a little :shake: keep telling the wife that we need to be athletes to follow the wc especially in this heat. :shake: Still you'll sleep better tonight if mexico get right result.

ronin688 Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Great few opening days! I'll be watching all 64 games, not all live unfortunately, but I've managed to cut myself off from media that might spoil a score for me. (Pretty easy to do in Canada lol) It's funny about Chiquidracula, my wife and I watched the match without knowing his backstory (She thought he looked like a cut-rate Antonio Banderas wannabe LMAO!) and were pretty appalled at the way he rode Crouch from end to end heh. I guess the lads knew not to get on his bad side because it was a really clean game all things considered. Good start and glad to get the first match behind us for 3 points!! Loved Cote'Ivoire's effort against Argentina. I liked that they weren't afraid to get in and really attack, and I think Argentina was very lucky to escape with the win, and not a draw at 2-2. I liked T-n-T against Sweden, they sure hung in there, but that's all they really did..... hang on haha, must have been frustrating for the Swedish side. It's alot easier to defend if your only aim in the game is to not get scored on. I have a soft spot for the underdog African teams after Senegal in 2002, they always entertain. I'm in overload, too much goodness every day! This is the first year every single group match is televised here in Canada ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenX Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 - GenX & obeah may do for us on ThursdayNah... we doh need obeah come Thursday, just kidding. We've been partying here since we qualified. The country even shutdown for a day when the team came back home after they qualified. Right now everyone I know is either watching the World Cup or playing FIFA 2006. It's great how football brings together people who under other circumstances will tear each other apart... instead we get to do it on the field. Like any other thing people lose their temper at times but it's one of the few places you will see a grown man cry, billions of people of different race and cultures come together etc. It just shows that there is a little bit of human goodness left in all this turmoil in the world... Anyway, back to the GOOAAALLLLLLSSSSSSSSSS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3stars Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 kinda lucky down here in oz we cot live coverage of each game then repeated during the day guess it's the first time in 30odd years we have a team in the finals so there really milking it on another note we just spanked the brits at rugby 34-3 so all is well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorrento Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 kinda lucky down here in oz we cot live coverage of each game then repeated during the day guess it's the first time in 30odd years we have a team in the finals so there really milking iton another note we just spanked the brits at rugby 34-3 so all is well Thats because the hour when each game is over there is terrible... well it was more or less the same over here with the Sydney Olympics and with the Korea/Japan WC Hmm, good England GP... but it hurts to see Raikonen be a great driver minus a car. The McLaren is terrible, and Schumacher won fair and square in the last pit stop. Alonso is becoming what he hates the most: SCHUMACHER, lol... he totally beating anyone and everyone in skills, race car performance and luck. Supershanks: Marco Rodriguez is like that: rules to the letter... and with his attitude to want to be the spot of attention, why do you think I wish he stays in Europe........ LOL :shake: ronin688: Read the first post of this thread, the quote is from the link I posted... which probably isn't in the main page anymore. This referee beat my team in the final in the last tournament, misteriously he showed 3 red cards within the limits of the rules to my team... and funny he showed another 3 red cards to another team when he played against the same one. Funny indeed, so funny I wish I didn't had any fun never again :mad: Alonso is celebrating with Champaigne while the opera Carmen plays in the background... 20 minutes till first game of the day, I have to grab something to eat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
