The Soca warriors of Trinidad and Tobago crashed out of the 2006 World cup in Germany but gave an impressive showing overall. The Trinidad and Tobago Soca warriors were splendid for their first appearance in the World Cup finals.

buried the ghosts of 1973 and 1979 when it overcame Bahrain to book the final spot for Germany 2006 and became the smallest country ever to qualify for a FIFA World Cup Finals. But T&T’s qualifying history has left many heartbroken before, at least twice in the past. Many were disappointed with the team’s failure to progress out of the 2002  final qualifying round after breezing through the semi-finals and comprising some of the best players ever on paper. But track back to 1973 and 1989 and you will realize that the twin-island Republic has been agonizingly closer to the big stage.

So we were trying to get to West Germany in 1974. We narrowly missed out on getting to Italia 1990 16 years later and then a further sixteen years later, three days before the anniversary of the November 19, 1989 loss to the United States, the towering Dennis Lawrence rose above the rest to head home and send T&T to Germany 2006. What a marvelous achievement by the “Soca Warriors” and a remarkable accomplishment for all of us to savor for the rest of our lives. Captain Dwight Yorke was in tears moments after the final whistle of the 1-0 win over Bahrain in Manama and surely were many others among the T&T faithful.
