Yeah, that blog was shameful. But being in England, I’ve come to expect that kind of nonsense, some people aren’t that developed after all.

About Trinis finding a more elegant way to celebrate, depends on what you define as elegant. Is it European elegant, or Caribbean elegant, but who has time to be elegant when one is superecstatic? Not those Trinis I saw wining on a cab in Central London after the match against England. I guess if they didn’t wine, the woulda cry. Sigh. Trinis, wha yuh go do with or without them?

I have to agree with you on the Guardian piece. I’m normally impressed with their journalism, however I suppose the live sport commentaries are more a blog.

A precedent was set a few years ago when a cricket commentator at the guard wrote a piece where they went off topic and talked about the tube and all manner of things which depressed them (wish I had a link to it). Since then I suppose they’ve become unedited opinion pieces.

This piece was downright rude though.

[...] You’d think the location of the 2006 World Cup would be improving my German. Instead, it’s helping me work on my Spanish. Yes, all games are being aired in the US, on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. But it’s very hard to get the World Cup experience watching US television. Right after Trinidad and Tobago’s brilliant draw with Sweden (respect to Shaka Hislop for an amazing performance – go Soca Warriors!), ABC switched coverage of golf. Golf!? The next game – Argentia/Cote d’Ivoire – is being broadcast on ESPN2. Until five minutes before the game, ESPN2 showed highlights from the French Open. [...]
