They were in Central America.

Considering the age of many of the top Ticos stars it's unrealistic to expect outstanding results. In my opinion Honduras and Guatemala have both passed up Costa Rica as the top Central American side.<BR/><BR/>T&T has always been in CONCACAF to my knowledge. In fact the US played them in Port of Spain in 1989, the most famous qualifier in US history.Kartikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00637710449573222655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-71015047209081905212008-08-06T12:24:00.000+01:002008-08-06T12:24:00.000+01:00Hi Duffman...

Two more partizan crowds you'll be hard pushed to find when they play each other home and away...<BR/><BR/>Hi P... To my knowledge, T&T have always been in the North and Central American (CONCACAF) region where World Cup qualifiers are concerned. Do you feel they may have once been affiliated elsewhere?Chris Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451130702323813966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-34954809204879190362008-08-05T08:42:00.000+01:002008-08-05T08:42:00.000+01:00Have Trinidad & Tobago moved qualifying groups...Have Trinidad & Tobago moved qualifying groups like Australia have now.

After listening to the World Football Phone In podcast (a must) I understand that US fans will find it very difficult to travel to Cuba for the away leg. Which then leads me to wonder how many Cuban emigres will turn up at the Home Depot Centre (assuming its there) if any.Terry Duffelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497567108075601329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-36498741689199399002008-08-04T20:24:00.000+01:002008-08-04T20:24:00.000+01:00Thanks Kartik - good to hear from you again!Yes, s...Thanks Kartik - good to hear from you again!<BR/><BR/>Yes, so I heard. Do you think they may have been hasty in sacking him, given their seemingly easy Third Round group? I'd guess he could have turned the team's fortunes around then, couldn't he?Chris Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451130702323813966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-6691472663445617992008-08-04T20:20:00.000+01:002008-08-04T20:20:00.000+01:00Good piece, Chris.Costa Rica was so unconvincing t...Good piece, Chris.<BR/><BR/>Costa Rica was so unconvincing that manager Herman Medford was sacked despite advancing.Kartikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00637710449573222655noreply@blogger.com
