Trini Tuesday-Go Soca Warriors!

socawarriors
Ok, it's a rather lame post but....
This is Trinidad's first trip to the World Cup. They are the smallest nation playing (1.1 million). Now keep in mind the USA is approaching 300 million in population and we can't seem to put together a respectable team. Here are my Soca Warriors playing their hearts out and being gracious even in defeat, even....ahem...when a Brit player grabs the dreadlocks of a Trini player to hold him down when they both go for a header...even when there is no call against said Brit player. So today they face Paraguay and I won't get to see it again. WAAAAH!
So all yuh give meh a big cheer for meh SOCA WARRIORS!
Happy Trini Tuesday!

I watched soccer over the weekend and the enthusiasm of the fans is amazing! It is infectious. Gets me all excited about a game I used to find boring!
Anyway, I think the Brits are brats!

LOL! At least there is more interest in the World Cup this year here in the US. And yes, I still call it football... which annoys some of my American friends. (To really piss them off... I refer to American football as "rugby with helmets".)

Big up yasf dere missy! Da team gone win da worl cop! Booya!
About Mr. Lime and the family reunion...talk to him about it. In a non-judgemental, non-threatening way. Ask him how he feels and what he wants to do about it. Then accept his response. You can let him know how important it is to you to go but you understadn if he doesn't want to. Come up with some reason for the family, he has to work, whatever. It'll work out fine.
