  1. Darin Lewis both of allyuh wrong because the first football festival ended in a draw. lol. Good fun still everyone

  2. The game was good! I was shocked wired 868 won no disrespect meant. Marvin Oliver looked good and Ahkeela Mollon handled herself well against guys. The youth man that came on looks like he can play, I understand he going to train at Chelsea Youth Academy. Big up Lasana Liburd and Co.

  3. Earl Mango Pierre my record in the Foreign Base vs Locals game is 3 wins and 1 loss. You were the Coach for the first edition eh. So doh chastise my coaching abilities. Lasana Liburd record was 4 losses and 0 wins before yesterday’s game so I think he needed that victory because another loss would have been too much on him and he might have cancelled the game next year. Hahahahahahaha. Plus some of our big time players could have ended the contest in the first third. Anyway, I’m very pleased to see more guys attending the game. It was beautiful. Thanks a million guys. Love in the house.

  4. Bor Bor and I really didn’t have any problem with that and also with my most loyal players Marvin Oliver and Ryan Fry Stewart representing wired 868 because it wasn’t my Foreign Base team representing eh, and I have stopped a very long time ago putting my teams together to play games in our sweet country I just want to come and meet my ex- players and watch all the ex- players Local/foreign play some nice football and then hang out and chat about the old times eh and I can pick a team from the both teams that played yesterday and beat up the present Soca Warriors team eh hahahahahahahaa Them really good yes.

  5. Lasana Liburd must say it was a nice experience Hookin bk up wit old team mates and playin against d same old players we playar against in D pro league as long god spear my life i will be there 2018 …Earl Mango Pierre is tru am a foreign base Brooklyn for life but Lasana Liburd and I go way bk lol

  6. Buh A A and before I forget it was really a great pleasure to finally meet the man himself and we shook hands to eh, so from now on I will be definitely be supporting him in his efforts to really revive our football to some what bring it back to where it was, so no more jokes/ bacchanal from me eh. Big thumbs up for Prof Keith Look Loy

  7. And Dion Sosa could you please the next time around make certain that you pick the team eh, because as we all know not because you was a great player means that you will also be a great Coach eh, but then again it was Darin Lewis 11 vs Wired 868 eh hahahahahaha.

  8. I did not know larry passed away we will have 2 organise something for him

  9. Yes Earl Mango Pierre the pleasure was the same, I dont mind being part of a team to assist in organising it, and I agree we must honour them them

  10. It was also nice to finally meet you Trini Don and when you or you ever will be responsible for Larry Loobie (R.I.P.) memorial game the next time around we will be ready to show up to take part in the game ent Darin Lewis and Dion Sosa and hence the reason I am so calling for the “Players Association” to be up and running in our sweet country not only to help our players but also to honor them and never forget them when they passed away.

    • Hit me up for any donations also??

    • That’s no problem my baller for life, this morning one of our ballers for life sister sent asking me to support a curry Q that she is having for her 14 yr old son that is heading to Barcelona Spain to play in a tournament in April 2017 and she needs to raise almost $ 13,000 monies eh , so you see why I am calling for the Players Association to be up and running in our sweet country to always assist and I have also assisted another Lady national player with her end of season function for the kids recently and as you know it is many moons now I have been doing these things without any regrets and especially for the kids.

  11. Lasana Liburd my only hope was to see, something to recognised former el dorado legend and National under 17 player Larry Loobie, who was also a Tunapuna son of the soil, who have recently passed….Esmond Forde Darin Lewis

  12. Excellent turn out with so many legends of the game in T&T football, good to spend time talking with my old players and former adversaries over the years. Thanks for the invitation, sorry I couldn’t play, injured ankle, I enjoyed the very frank discussion with so many people with the good of football at heart! Another outstanding initiative from all associated with Wired868.
    Top class!
