 2008 is an exciting year for the Warrior Nation and Trinidad and Tobago football on the whole! On the heels of our momentous performance in the 2006 World Cup, qualification matches for the 2010 World Cup are soon approaching and the mouthwatering anticipation of witnessing our Soca Warriors come up against the best in CONCACAF is frantically building. With a new coach at the helm, new players to bolster the previous World Cup squad and a few creditable performances against CONCACAF rivals this year, the prospect of recapturing the glory of 2006 is on the minds of all T&T football fans. In light of this, the Warrior Nation has embarked on yet another groundbreaking project that is sure to be of interest to all stakeholders of T&T football. Enter---The Warrior Nation Team of the Week (TOTW). TOTW is basically a simulation selection of the T&T men’s national team displayed in a unique and colorful illustration. Each week the spotlight will be placed on T&T football’s peak performers as they excel at their respective professional football clubs.

Day 9: April 5, 2008
Everybody seemed to be OK this morning at breakfast after last night's unfortunate tie. After breakfast we had a team meeting to talk about what would happen now that we tied Costa Rica. Although we knew that game should've been a win in our favor, we could now only hope that Canada would beat Costa Rica by more than 6 goals. If Canada beat Costa Rica by exactly 6, our fate would be left up to the flip of a coin. With all these outcomes running through our heads we still had to wait a whole day for the game would not be played until Sunday. |

Day 8: April 4, 2008
It was Game Day #2! Preparation for today's game went much like the first one. We woke up and had breakfast as a team at 8am. After breakfast we had a light jog/stretch to warm our muscles up and keep them loose. We knew this was a very important game so everyone did what they had to do personally to get pumped during the free time before lunch. On a not so good note, Rissa woke up not feeling so well. We had our trainer give her some medicine and hoped that some rest before the game would help! Before we left for the field, we had our pregame meeting in the hotel to discuss some quick points. I could tell the anticipation of this game was getting to all of us. We were ready for a better outcome. As like the other game, we had to wait in the locker rooms before we could warm up on the field. Walking out onto that field is an amazing feeling. I don't have enough words to describe it but it's just one of those moments you can never forget! |

Day 6: April 2, 2008
It's game day. Today we play Canada and nervousness/excitement fills within us all. Breakfast was at 8am and afterwards we had a jog/stretch to loosen up our muscles. Even with being nervous, the team seemed in good spirits and up for the challenge ahead of us. We had some time after stretching and before lunch to relax. Today also turned out to be one of our teammate's (Darcel) birthday. The hotel made her a cake and we all sang happy birthday to her at the end of lunch. After lunch we got our things ready for the game and had a meeting in the conference room. Coach Jamal gave the starting positions and reminded us of key points for the game. We would go into this game with full confidence that we could give this Canadian team a run for their money. Our key to this game would be our speed. We all knew that the Canadians could not keep up with our speedy players. The bus ride to the stadium was festive with Trini music playing over the loud speakers. Just listening to Maximus Dan's "Soca Warriors" got me pumped and I could feel the pride fueling within my body. |

The final match of the 07/08 season! It's been about a year since we last visited our friends up north, and this match provides the perfect opportunity to combine a bit of footie and loads of fun. Arsenal is sure to provide one of the most entertaining football around, so a better match could not be had for the final game of the season. We want to show our support for our Soca Warriors currently playing at Sunderland AFC: Kenwyne Jones, Carlos Edwards and of course, Dwight Yorke. So let's head up north in our numbers and show them once again how Trinis (& friends...lol) do it. Wear your T&T kit if you've got one, or just wear red!
