PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) - Eight-time Caribbean Cup champions Trinidad and Tobago have displaced Jamaica as the No 2 team in the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) rankings.

We have no God-given right to expect to rule the CFU area...but, I am sorry...hard work with our abundant talent pool should have us ruling the roost!
Hey! - It cannot be about merely being top of the CFU, it must be about walking to the TOP OF THE WORLD! Yes Iyah
- FORWARD!
