Unity Cup Final, Same Time As Last Year
*Reggae Boyz get another shot at Nigeria in Saturday's Unity Cup final. Head-to-head in this tournament: 0–3.*
Trinidad And Tobago Play Under No Name At All
*The TTFA dropped the Soca Warriors nickname rather than pay Selwyn Melville for the trademark. The team now plays as ‘the Trinidad and Tobago men’s national football team.’ A brand consultant called it brave.*
Just Now
*“Just now” don’t mean now. “Just now” mean sometime between now and Judgement.*
The Phone Call
*My granddaughter call me from foreign to tell me I should rest. The child don’t know the table IS the rest.*
What the Table Know
*People think the table is for selling pastry. The table is for watching.*
Long weekend, loading
*The annual Caribbean ritual: pretend the work week ends Wednesday, the long weekend starts Thursday, and Tuesday is a recovery day.*
Dottin, Supernova
*Deandra Dottin in full flight is one of cricket's small, undeniable astrophysical events.*
Guyana, too popular
*The diaspora can't get on a flight, the hotels are sold out, and ExxonMobil just announced its ninth permit. There is such a thing as a problem of abundance.*
Trinidad sprint gold
*The replay watched on three continents simultaneously. The WhatsApp groups lit up before the photo finish was confirmed.*
The chase
*The household tradition. Sunday afternoon. Somebody's cousin is being chased. We are not asking who started it.*
