Who knows what other pressing issues will arise before the time comes for me to write my Global Voices Caribbean blogosphere roundup on Friday, so here’s a quick summary of the buzz re: football from the T&T blogosphere (as of 2:06pm):
Nicholas, in the wake of his 18 posts about not watching the match, returns to his ongoing commentary on the country’s dire social and political situation with an expression of relief that the local press hasn’t succumbed entirely to the football frenzy. He also links to Taran Rampersad’s random thoughts on the match, and to a BC Pires interview with Gary Hector, who speaks in the capacity of both football fanatic and leader of the newly reborn Trinidadian rock band jointpop. Richard Bolai has screencaps from the television coverage and Richard Jobity comments on both the quality of the football music and the responsiveness of the Fox Sports web site in addition to linking to a video of the goal by T&T striker Birchall.
