Is Liam Camps on drugs. It's easy to find a problem with our Stern but he didn't seem to offer a solution. Who are these other strikers he speaks of. Rooney ( No, he's English). How about ( Ronaldo ( can't be, he's Brazilian). Then he must be talking about Ballack ( oh wait, he's German). The fact of the matter is we have a less than impressive strike force and players Glenn and Jones are just not as experienced as Stern and the records will agree with me. I'm more than alright with stern up front and I'm sure he was alright with it too when he scored those goals against Mexico. Besides sometimes I think with Latas and Dwight he can be so good he'll scare any defender. No Stern. Is Liam Camps on drugs.

These are the sports which have given us some measure of international notoriety. Cycling has been gaining popularity thanks to financial investment. On the various savannahs and fields of play these are the most prominent sports. Football is the single most popular sport in the country. In response to slaton:

Anyhow I find it hard to understand why major sports is limited to the listing as noted. In general Trinidadians will support our country in all the sports that we participate in and the fact is most sports you can call we participate in. there are more high profile sports and these gain more recognition but I am sure we get the same type of response on a normal day for any of the other sports.

This is not true. There are 3 major sports in Trinidad and Tobago; Football, Cricket and Track and Field in that order.

It would truly be a self-inflicted wound to remove Stern John. The so called better strikers he speaks about have never produced the goods at that level. Big players step up in big matches and Stern John produced when it mattered more than any other foward. Liam Camps also failed to mention Haitian Fiasco of 1973 when Trinidad and Tobago was blatantly robbed by a Haitian referee in a match between the T&#38;T and his beloved Haiti. T&#38;T scored at least 4 times in that game and the goals were ruled to be offside. Haiti qualified to Germany 1974 instead of Trinidad and Tobago . The referee was subsequently banned from officiating ever again. I find it bizzare and incomprehensible that somebody would want to remove the leading goal scorer from his side.
