No Caribbean Representative in South Africa

The World Cup 2010 in South Africa is well on its way and there is no Caribbean country represented. What a missed opportunity for a trip to the motherland! The region as a whole has invested a lot of its times and resources to the game of football in the past 40 years. Not even Haiti; the 1 st Caribbean country to have made it to the World Cup in 1974 can't grace Africa with his presence. We came alive once more when Mano Sanon scored his 1 st world cup goal against Italy. What a proud moment of our history! Africa today, is hot breeding ground for soccer players as proven by this World Cup and the presence of all these African stars playing all over Europe. With country as young as 50 year old Gana winning their first match; South Africa drew against Mexico, I could not have been prouder to be a descendant of the continent. My heart goes out to you Africa. Ivory Coast finds itself in the hardest group of all; among the likes of Brazil and Portugal. I truly hope they advance
