The excitement of the Trinidad & Tobago (T&T) fans at last night’s Friendly Soccer Game against El Salvador was palpable. Outnumbered by the El Salvadorians 3 to 1, the Trinis, with a huge Rhythm Section (Band) outfitted with horns, trumpets, drums and every imaginable thing that would make noise, showed the tens of thousands of Salvadorians at the RFK Stadium in Washington DC what a cheering squad should look like, how they should dance, how they should party and how they should celebrate.

It was a good game; actually, I take that back; it was a GREAT game! Great, not only because the T&T Soca Warriors won (final score 3-1), but because of the Carnival-like atmosphere which kept me on my feet, dancing and sometimes gyrating for every second of the 93 minute game.

In true Trini style, the victory was consummated with a huge fete (party) which included throngs of T&T fans who gathered outside the walls of RFK Stadium, accompanied by the Rhythm Section, a feat that was infectious enough to attract a few adoring Salvadorian fans who could not resist the lure of the boisterous, dancing and flag waving Trini crowd.

This is how Trinis do it! This is is how Trinis party! This is how Trinis play and celebrate Soccer…..win or lose!
