CFR listener roots for T&T

Posted by Georgia on November 15, 2005 at 9:54 pm.

This just in from listener Christopher Fox:

Hi Georgia,
Have been an avid listener to CFR for about 6 months, since I got an ipod. Love the show. I am a Dubliner living in California. Big football fan (soccer over here) Anyway just want to wish T&T the best of luck tomorrow against Bahrain. Have every confidence they will be in Germany next year. Unfortunately Ireland did not make it. So I will be pulling for T&T.

Take care,
Chris

9:35am: . . . and the response from Trinidadian blogger/football fan Hassan Voyeau. Which of these gentlemen will have to eat his words?

Nicholas Laughlin blogged extensively during the match itself, and Caribbean Free Radio relayed the radio broadcast to contacts abroad via Skype. Ryan Naraine, Taran Rampersad and Nicholas Laughlin have saved me some legwork by posting link summaries, but most of the buzz about the match came, naturally, out of Trinidad & Tobago itself, much of it taking the form of brief cries of ecstacy, some of it referring to the unsportsmanlike behaviour of the Bahraini team and fans.
