Palos thanks for the support bro..ok...anything Dave??
brent sancho That's good. I hope the general public feels the same way.
Dave Hi Brent, any idea if you are returning to the Timbers next year?
brent sancho There is something presently on the table with the Timbers.
brent sancho But I hope to go to Europe. That is my #1 goal.
Dave Is it up to them to offer you what you want?
KyrgyzstaniGold Oh, ok, sure, NOW i think of a question - wait - i didnt mean to interupt,

brent sancho No. I have a 2 year contract.
Dave Apart from Zurich any other clubs offered a trial?
brent sancho Yes, There are a couple clubs in Germany and Belgium that are very interested
in my services.
Dave Good luck!
Palos thanks Dave...
brent sancho Thank you.
Palos Tallman...you next
Tallman Shaun, do you believe that Warner is gone for good ? If so, what plans does the TTFF
have to bridge the financial gap ?
Shaun Fuentes yes of course, but this is expected to start no earlier than February, where
appropriate screening sessions will be set up for the selection of Under 20 and Under 23
players
Shaun Fuentes I should say that I don't expect him to totally sever his ties with the TTFF but
we can expect him to have less involvement, even possibly financially which will be somewhat of a loss to the Federation.
Palos no probs..we understand wha yuh sayin.
Palos welcome maggie...2 questions per person to Shaun or Brent...you're after Doc
doc Shaun, with respect to the difficulty of travel, are any effort being made to regionalize
training to involve a broader base of players on all national teams e.g Tobago, South etc?
Tallman Brent, what do you think has to change in T&T's defence in order for it to reach a
world class standard ?
brent sancho I don't think that anything needs to change, but we definitely need to work harder
on keeping goals out and being more patient..
brent sancho in our one-on-one defending.
Palos yuh ok there Tallman?
Tallman One thing that I do notice is that we are over zealous in our defending and we give up
many free kicks just outside the area.
brent sancho yes this is true but I think if we concentrate a little bit more and be a little bit more
patient in our defending we should be alright.
Tallman OK palos, I good.
Palos kool...Shaun, my 1st question is for you
Palos From the outside looking in, I am concerned that our preparation for the Gold Cup is much less
than desirable. Is the coach and team concerned about this and if so, what are they planning to
do about it?
Shaun Fuentes yes I agree with this, but I think while we have found difficulties in getting
appropriate matches arranged, the difference this time is that we'll have more than half the list
of overseas players in camp from day one when training resumes
Shaun Fuentes Also while it was always noticeable that whenever the entire team was
together prior the game, the presence of the likes of Yorke and Latapy always had everyone on
a high, even without these two around, while there will be something missing, I don't seeing us
having much problem having a good spirit
Shaun Fuentes this time around
Palos thanks bro
Palos Brent, fisrt of all let me congratulate you on what I thought was a really good performance
against the USA. I was impressed by your calm manner at all times
brent sancho Thank you very much.
Shaun Fuentes Also I see us going into this tournament as somewhat underdogs and in the
past even in a similar situation, we were always guarded against because of the names Yorke
and Latapy and a couple others, but this time I don't see that happening and it could work in our
favour
brent sancho Swima send a hail to everyone.
fleX my boy Swima, whats up.
Palos Brent, on a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate coach Simoes and how has he helped you the
most on the national team
brent sancho 10!
Shaun Fuentes BOOOM
Palos Expand on that 10...enquiring minds want to know...
brent sancho He has been able to balance good coaching with good discipline and everyone is
very comfortable with him.
brent sancho I could see how he took Jamaica, diamond in the rough, and made them shine.
Palos has he helped you personally with your game?
Palos if so, in what way?
player.
Palos nice....that's it for me...thanks guys...Doc, you next.
fleX 1. Shaun who was Simoes impress with on the school side that played the Soca Warriors
last week and what was the starting and sub line up for the Senior team.....
fleX sorry Doc......
Shaun Fuentes Flex I will send you that info via email but off hand I can say Anthony Noreiga
and Andre Pacheco. Noreiga is eligible for Under 23 and had a trial in Belgium and Pacheco is
now 17.
fleX Thanks...
doc Brent what would you consider your primary playing position to be?
brent sancho I like playing any central defensive position, or anywhere in the central defense.
doc Brent! Being a full time pro', how has your club team training improved you as a player ?
brent sancho I think the professional environment is one that is condusive to learning.
brent sancho I have been able to develop and mature as a player and a person.
doc There seems to be an opportunity to claim one of the CB positions now, are you ready to
stake your claim?
brent sancho Yes definitely. I am going to give 100% and try to stake my claim as a starter and
a major contributor to this team.
doc I wish you well!
doc Shaun
Palos Same here!!
brent sancho thank you.
Palos Shaun, you have any questions? If not, maybe we can just free style it unless it get's out of
control
Tallman Brent, if you do get a contract in Europe, how are you going to deal with demands of
the national team ? Will you ask to be left out of some games ?
Palos Same for you Brent.
brent sancho I will try to make every single game that Trinidad has. Although it is nice to be
playing in Europe, my main goal is to take Trinidad to World Cup.
fleX impressive Brent,,,,but all players say this and when the time comes they turn their backs....
brent sancho Trust me, anybody that knows me knows that's what my main goal.
Shaun Fuentes what questions Palos
doc with respect to the difficulty of travel in TT, has the TTFF considered regionalizing their
training centers to broaden the base of players at all national teams?
Shaun Fuentes I don't think right now Doc, the only possible camp may be in the US and right
now there are no outright plans for that.
Palos ok....what we'll do is this. Tallman & Doc asked questions so we'll answer those first. Shaun, I
was referring to anything about the posters, Flex site etc.
Shaun Fuentes I'm cool Palos.
Tallman Shaun, are we seriously pursuing a bid to host the 2007 U-20 World Cup ?
Shaun Fuentes yes we are, as a matter of fact, this was one of the topics of meetings at the
recent FIFA Exec meeting
Dave Brent, did you enjoy working with Bobby and Jimmy at Portland. Did they have anything
to offer you coaching-wise?
brent sancho Yes. They are an encyclopedia of knowledge.
flex Brent can you predict a starting 11 for T&T in the gold cup and also can you see us
qualifying for the 2006 World Cup ?
brent sancho It's tough to name a starting team because you never know who will peak right
before the Gold Cup.
Tallman Shaun, is the TTFF doing anything formal/official in terms of fan support for the Gold
Cup (e.g. charter flights etc.) ?
Shaun Fuentes no nothing as yet, possibly these plans will come on board as the new year
begins
doc Brent, how close are you to being the player you know you can become?
brent sancho Right now I am working very hard on developingon my weaknesses.
Palos Shaun & Brent,,,,any good looking young players to look out for in the near future? Simoes
spoke about a young left footer who should have been on the Under 17 squad
brent sancho I have not been able to look at anyone in particular but from the reports that I have
been hearing T&T seems to be in good hands.
Shaun Fuentes yes of course, I see atleast five players coming out of the Under 17 team
including Marvin Phillip, Kenwyne Jones, Nkosi Blackman, Jerol Forbes and Devon Leacock.
Dave Brent, going back to your points on positioning and patience as a defender, were you
dissapointed by some refs decisions last season. They seem to give yellows for any sliding
tackle!
brent sancho Yes I was very disappointed. I am naturally an aggressive player and I would not
change for anything.
Shaun Fuentes Andre Pacheco is a great left footed player from Princes Town Senior Comp.
Palos ok...thanx.
Shaun Fuentes there's always more, but those names look good right now.
flex Brent are you comfortable in the left back position,,,,,why are their hardly any left footers on
the T&T team,,,,,can Nixon still help us in 2006....
brent sancho Yes I am comfortable although I am naturally right-footed.... Nixon can definitely
help us in 2006. He is a very talented player.
Tallman Shaun, we've always been thinking about forming an official Soca Warriors fan club ?
Do you think this would go over well with the TTFF ?
Shaun Fuentes yes but you have to make sure and hold discussions with the Federation
flex wouldn't he be to old ???........
brent sancho No, age is not a problem as long as you are willing to contribute 100%.
Dave Brent, when do you travel for your European trials?
brent sancho Right after the Gold Cup.
Palos This one is for "Tiger" (if he still there)....were you nervous on your debut for T&T and what are
your immediate footballing goals?
brent sancho - Tiger Of course I was nervous, but you know, once you get out on to the field
and you realise you are playing against just another human being, you settle into your game.
brent sancho - Tiger What are my immediate plans for the future - to secure a contract with a
professional team and to finally get my chance to play for the national team.
Palos who are you currently playing with?
brent sancho No club team at the moment. I have trial with a few A league teams when I get
back to the States after the Xmas holidays.
flex Brent and Shaun do you think Nakhid should of been sack by the TTFF,,,way wasn't the
public inform of a better excuse for this.........
Shaun Fuentes I can't really say why there was not a better explanation because at that time I
was not with the Federation, but honestly I thought his days were over
Tallman Shaun, now that Stephen Hart has been appointed to a coaching position with the
Canadian Soccer Association, would the TTFF keep tabs on him ?
Palos great question Tallman
Shaun Fuentes Possibly.
Shaun Fuentes Do you think that he can make a valuable contribution to our football
Shaun Fuentes or just because he's been appointed by the Canada Federation, that makes
him eligible
bally shaun fuentes what is being done to get the young kids involve more in football and
development to advants in the football world not just today but tommorow.
Shaun Fuentes At this time, the community projects being done by FCOTT has really helped in
this area just judging by the reaction of the kids when we go to the schools and I expect this to
grow in the future
Shaun Fuentes in terms of getting them advanced, I can't say for sure as yet.
Shaun Fuentes it all depends on how much the kid is willing to do on his own as well.
doc Brent like you is a foreigner in TT! LOLLL!!
brent sancho The stadium and them so new, I does forget their name sometimes!
doc hahaha! Its nice to have that kind a infrastructure. hahaha.
Palos ok.....Brent & Shaun...if you had to descripe Mickey in a sentence, what would you say
fleX fast and furious......lol......
Shaun Fuentes a man with heart, hardworking and easy going so much that it would be easy
to get attach to him.
bally brent how do feal about yorke and latapy leaving the team like that
Palos he seemed to touch so many different people on so many levels....
brent sancho That's a difficult one... Mickey has touched me not just as a player but as a
person.
bally sorry its leaving
brent sancho Fellas I gone there.
Shaun Fuentes Flex, I'm releasing a piece in time for Wednesday with quotations from Stern
and Russell Latapy talking about Mickey, so ill pass it on
fleX That goal he score aganist Costa Rica I would never forget..................

fleX Shaun dont forget to send de squad for me nah..........
Shaun Fuentes ok.
fleX Shaun about the site being a public thing as you mention previously,,,,this is only on the
forum most of the times.
Shaun Fuentes yeh
fleX I mean most of the site has good things....no ????????
Shaun Fuentes yeh i agree
Shaun Fuentes but these guys sometimes only watch the TV rounds up, they hardly even read
the papers particularly the foreign based
Shaun Fuentes but dont worry if they dont come on every week or so,believe me, once they
know someone is doing something positive , they appreciate it
fleX O'.......
fleX Its good sometime to listen to views from the outside......
Shaun Fuentes thats one of the way i worked my way up
Shaun Fuentes how you think i made it as a little 18 yr old from the Guardian at the Gold Cup
with them fellas eh
Shaun Fuentes lol
bally shaun fuentes how much of the PFL games are on tv in tnt
Shaun Fuentes none are live
Shaun Fuentes just highlights
fleX is Nixon joining the squad for the GC for sure ??????
Shaun Fuentes yeh he will be called for training and once he's fully fit and can fall into simoes'
plans, sure he'll be there
Palos Bally, I really like that idea about a show to promote the PFL
bally i think they should show more games on tv
Shaun Fuentes yes Bally
Shaun Fuentes but the sponsors are not really willing
fleX any Zamora news yet ?????? or Silvio Spann.....
Shaun Fuentes nah boy
Shaun Fuentes I would love if we can get hold of Zamora
fleX Personaly I dont think he may commit 100%......
Palos well....allyuh know Trini...dey love foreign ting
Shaun Fuentes for real palos
fleX Palos we need to go down then.......lol
Shaun Fuentes i think one of the breathrougs for the PFL is if we can get our highlights on
some of the foreign weekly programmes like Futbol Mundial
Palos however, if we were able to get coverage and show highlights like goals, dribbles, player
interviews, top 10 goals of the week or top 5 whatever...it would be a start
Shaun Fuentes but it's not easy to get on
bally palos if you have tv you know how important it is you can reach alot of people with the
media
Palos fuh real....and make it a local flavor....all players have a nickname...de presenter have to have
personality like Anil Roberts...he does make meh roll
Palos yeah...no probs...
Shaun Fuentes guys ANY MORE QUESTIONS, GOTTA RUN.
fleX Take care Shaun and thanks again,,,laterz..
Palos take care Shaun and thanks.
bally thanks shaun.
I am trying to contact Brent Sancho. I do believe Brent Sancho is a descendant of John Sancho; a brother of my forefather, great great grandfather and I would like Sanchos of Trinidad to unite with Sanchos of Guyana, in the pursuit of their ancestor, who I believe to be Ignatius Sancho, 1729-1780.
Ask the Sanchos (Cyril, Keith, Sharon and the others) of Trinidad to Log on to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/descendantsofsancho/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globalsanchos/
and or send email childrenofsancho@yahoo.com and or descendantsofsancho@yahoogroups.com.
The Sanchos of Guyana has a story to tell and an aim to identify the ancestor.
Peace, Selwyn Ross; son and representative of Muriel E. Sancho, of Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara, British Guiana now Guyana.

Dave Apart from Zurich any other clubs offered a trial?
brent sancho Yes, There are a couple clubs in Germany and Belgium that are very interested
in my services.
Dave Good luck!
Palos thanks Dave...
brent sancho Thank you.
Palos Tallman...you next
Tallman Shaun, do you believe that Warner is gone for good ? If so, what plans does the TTFF
have to bridge the financial gap ?
Shaun Fuentes yes of course, but this is expected to start no earlier than February, where
appropriate screening sessions will be set up for the selection of Under 20 and Under 23
players
Shaun Fuentes I should say that I don't expect him to totally sever his ties with the TTFF but
we can expect him to have less involvement, even possibly financially which will be somewhat of a loss to the Federation.
Palos no probs..we understand wha yuh sayin.
Palos welcome maggie...2 questions per person to Shaun or Brent...you're after Doc
doc Shaun, with respect to the difficulty of travel, are any effort being made to regionalize
training to involve a broader base of players on all national teams e.g Tobago, South etc?
Tallman Brent, what do you think has to change in T&T's defence in order for it to reach a
world class standard ?
brent sancho I don't think that anything needs to change, but we definitely need to work harder
on keeping goals out and being more patient..
brent sancho in our one-on-one defending.
Palos yuh ok there Tallman?
Tallman One thing that I do notice is that we are over zealous in our defending and we give up
many free kicks just outside the area.
brent sancho yes this is true but I think if we concentrate a little bit more and be a little bit more
patient in our defending we should be alright.
Tallman OK palos, I good.
Palos kool...Shaun, my 1st question is for you
Palos From the outside looking in, I am concerned that our preparation for the Gold Cup is much less
than desirable. Is the coach and team concerned about this and if so, what are they planning to
do about it?
Shaun Fuentes yes I agree with this, but I think while we have found difficulties in getting
appropriate matches arranged, the difference this time is that we'll have more than half the list
of overseas players in camp from day one when training resumes
Shaun Fuentes Also while it was always noticeable that whenever the entire team was
together prior the game, the presence of the likes of Yorke and Latapy always had everyone on
a high, even without these two around, while there will be something missing, I don't seeing us
having much problem having a good spirit
Shaun Fuentes this time around
Palos thanks bro
Palos Brent, fisrt of all let me congratulate you on what I thought was a really good performance
against the USA. I was impressed by your calm manner at all times
brent sancho Thank you very much.
Shaun Fuentes Also I see us going into this tournament as somewhat underdogs and in the
past even in a similar situation, we were always guarded against because of the names Yorke
and Latapy and a couple others, but this time I don't see that happening and it could work in our
favour
brent sancho Swima send a hail to everyone.
fleX my boy Swima, whats up.
Palos Brent, on a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate coach Simoes and how has he helped you the
most on the national team
brent sancho 10!
Shaun Fuentes BOOOM
Palos Expand on that 10...enquiring minds want to know...
brent sancho He has been able to balance good coaching with good discipline and everyone is
very comfortable with him.
brent sancho I could see how he took Jamaica, diamond in the rough, and made them shine.
Palos has he helped you personally with your game?
Palos if so, in what way?
player.
Palos nice....that's it for me...thanks guys...Doc, you next.
fleX 1. Shaun who was Simoes impress with on the school side that played the Soca Warriors
last week and what was the starting and sub line up for the Senior team.....
fleX sorry Doc......
Shaun Fuentes Flex I will send you that info via email but off hand I can say Anthony Noreiga
and Andre Pacheco. Noreiga is eligible for Under 23 and had a trial in Belgium and Pacheco is
now 17.
fleX Thanks...
doc Brent what would you consider your primary playing position to be?
brent sancho I like playing any central defensive position, or anywhere in the central defense.
doc Brent! Being a full time pro', how has your club team training improved you as a player ?
brent sancho I think the professional environment is one that is condusive to learning.
brent sancho I have been able to develop and mature as a player and a person.
doc There seems to be an opportunity to claim one of the CB positions now, are you ready to
stake your claim?
brent sancho Yes definitely. I am going to give 100% and try to stake my claim as a starter and
a major contributor to this team.
doc I wish you well!
doc Shaun
Palos Same here!!
brent sancho thank you.
Palos Shaun, you have any questions? If not, maybe we can just free style it unless it get's out of
control
Tallman Brent, if you do get a contract in Europe, how are you going to deal with demands of
the national team ? Will you ask to be left out of some games ?
Palos Same for you Brent.
brent sancho I will try to make every single game that Trinidad has. Although it is nice to be
playing in Europe, my main goal is to take Trinidad to World Cup.
fleX impressive Brent,,,,but all players say this and when the time comes they turn their backs....
brent sancho Trust me, anybody that knows me knows that's what my main goal.
Shaun Fuentes what questions Palos
doc with respect to the difficulty of travel in TT, has the TTFF considered regionalizing their
training centers to broaden the base of players at all national teams?
Shaun Fuentes I don't think right now Doc, the only possible camp may be in the US and right
now there are no outright plans for that.
Palos ok....what we'll do is this. Tallman & Doc asked questions so we'll answer those first. Shaun, I
was referring to anything about the posters, Flex site etc.
Shaun Fuentes I'm cool Palos.
Tallman Shaun, are we seriously pursuing a bid to host the 2007 U-20 World Cup ?
Shaun Fuentes yes we are, as a matter of fact, this was one of the topics of meetings at the
recent FIFA Exec meeting
Dave Brent, did you enjoy working with Bobby and Jimmy at Portland. Did they have anything
to offer you coaching-wise?
brent sancho Yes. They are an encyclopedia of knowledge.
flex Brent can you predict a starting 11 for T&T in the gold cup and also can you see us
qualifying for the 2006 World Cup ?
brent sancho It's tough to name a starting team because you never know who will peak right
before the Gold Cup.
Tallman Shaun, is the TTFF doing anything formal/official in terms of fan support for the Gold
Cup (e.g. charter flights etc.) ?
Shaun Fuentes no nothing as yet, possibly these plans will come on board as the new year
begins
doc Brent, how close are you to being the player you know you can become?
brent sancho Right now I am working very hard on developingon my weaknesses.
Palos Shaun & Brent,,,,any good looking young players to look out for in the near future? Simoes
spoke about a young left footer who should have been on the Under 17 squad
brent sancho I have not been able to look at anyone in particular but from the reports that I have
been hearing T&T seems to be in good hands.
Shaun Fuentes yes of course, I see atleast five players coming out of the Under 17 team
including Marvin Phillip, Kenwyne Jones, Nkosi Blackman, Jerol Forbes and Devon Leacock.
Dave Brent, going back to your points on positioning and patience as a defender, were you
dissapointed by some refs decisions last season. They seem to give yellows for any sliding
tackle!
brent sancho Yes I was very disappointed. I am naturally an aggressive player and I would not
change for anything.
Shaun Fuentes Andre Pacheco is a great left footed player from Princes Town Senior Comp.
Palos ok...thanx.
Shaun Fuentes there's always more, but those names look good right now.
flex Brent are you comfortable in the left back position,,,,,why are their hardly any left footers on
the T&T team,,,,,can Nixon still help us in 2006....
brent sancho Yes I am comfortable although I am naturally right-footed.... Nixon can definitely
help us in 2006. He is a very talented player.
Tallman Shaun, we've always been thinking about forming an official Soca Warriors fan club ?
Do you think this would go over well with the TTFF ?
Shaun Fuentes yes but you have to make sure and hold discussions with the Federation
flex wouldn't he be to old ???........
brent sancho No, age is not a problem as long as you are willing to contribute 100%.
Dave Brent, when do you travel for your European trials?
brent sancho Right after the Gold Cup.
Palos This one is for "Tiger" (if he still there)....were you nervous on your debut for T&T and what are
your immediate footballing goals?
brent sancho - Tiger Of course I was nervous, but you know, once you get out on to the field
and you realise you are playing against just another human being, you settle into your game.
brent sancho - Tiger What are my immediate plans for the future - to secure a contract with a
professional team and to finally get my chance to play for the national team.
Palos who are you currently playing with?
brent sancho No club team at the moment. I have trial with a few A league teams when I get
back to the States after the Xmas holidays.
flex Brent and Shaun do you think Nakhid should of been sack by the TTFF,,,way wasn't the
public inform of a better excuse for this.........
Shaun Fuentes I can't really say why there was not a better explanation because at that time I
was not with the Federation, but honestly I thought his days were over
Tallman Shaun, now that Stephen Hart has been appointed to a coaching position with the
Canadian Soccer Association, would the TTFF keep tabs on him ?
Palos great question Tallman
Shaun Fuentes Possibly.
Shaun Fuentes Do you think that he can make a valuable contribution to our football
Shaun Fuentes or just because he's been appointed by the Canada Federation, that makes
him eligible
bally shaun fuentes what is being done to get the young kids involve more in football and
development to advants in the football world not just today but tommorow.
Shaun Fuentes At this time, the community projects being done by FCOTT has really helped in
this area just judging by the reaction of the kids when we go to the schools and I expect this to
grow in the future
Shaun Fuentes in terms of getting them advanced, I can't say for sure as yet.
Shaun Fuentes it all depends on how much the kid is willing to do on his own as well.
doc Brent like you is a foreigner in TT! LOLLL!!
brent sancho The stadium and them so new, I does forget their name sometimes!
doc hahaha! Its nice to have that kind a infrastructure. hahaha.
Palos ok.....Brent & Shaun...if you had to descripe Mickey in a sentence, what would you say

to get attach to him.
bally brent how do feal about yorke and latapy leaving the team like that
Palos he seemed to touch so many different people on so many levels....
brent sancho That's a difficult one... Mickey has touched me not just as a player but as a
person.

Shaun Fuentes Flex, I'm releasing a piece in time for Wednesday with quotations from Stern
and Russell Latapy talking about Mickey, so ill pass it on

fleX Shaun dont forget to send de squad for me nah..........
Shaun Fuentes ok.
fleX Shaun about the site being a public thing as you mention previously,,,,this is only on the
forum most of the times.
Shaun Fuentes yeh
fleX I mean most of the site has good things....no ????????
Shaun Fuentes yeh i agree
Shaun Fuentes but these guys sometimes only watch the TV rounds up, they hardly even read
the papers particularly the foreign based
Shaun Fuentes but dont worry if they dont come on every week or so,believe me, once they
know someone is doing something positive , they appreciate it
fleX O'.......
fleX Its good sometime to listen to views from the outside......
Shaun Fuentes thats one of the way i worked my way up
Shaun Fuentes how you think i made it as a little 18 yr old from the Guardian at the Gold Cup
with them fellas eh
Shaun Fuentes lol
bally shaun fuentes how much of the PFL games are on tv in tnt
Shaun Fuentes none are live
Shaun Fuentes just highlights
fleX is Nixon joining the squad for the GC for sure ??????
Shaun Fuentes yeh he will be called for training and once he's fully fit and can fall into simoes'
plans, sure he'll be there
Palos Bally, I really like that idea about a show to promote the PFL
bally i think they should show more games on tv
Shaun Fuentes yes Bally
Shaun Fuentes but the sponsors are not really willing
fleX any Zamora news yet ?????? or Silvio Spann.....
Shaun Fuentes nah boy
Shaun Fuentes I would love if we can get hold of Zamora
fleX Personaly I dont think he may commit 100%......
Palos well....allyuh know Trini...dey love foreign ting
Shaun Fuentes for real palos
fleX Palos we need to go down then.......lol
Shaun Fuentes i think one of the breathrougs for the PFL is if we can get our highlights on
some of the foreign weekly programmes like Futbol Mundial
Palos however, if we were able to get coverage and show highlights like goals, dribbles, player
interviews, top 10 goals of the week or top 5 whatever...it would be a start
Shaun Fuentes but it's not easy to get on
bally palos if you have tv you know how important it is you can reach alot of people with the
media
Palos fuh real....and make it a local flavor....all players have a nickname...de presenter have to have
personality like Anil Roberts...he does make meh roll
Palos yeah...no probs...
Shaun Fuentes guys ANY MORE QUESTIONS, GOTTA RUN.
fleX Take care Shaun and thanks again,,,laterz..
Palos take care Shaun and thanks.
bally thanks shaun.
