    That’s great news , but really a good strong football ⚽️ link with a European side is what’s needed. Maybe in the French or Dutch league would be great for Caribbean footballers .start small and let it grow even the English league 1is an option.

      You need to ask them; if this is an opportunity for him to seen by Scouts how come the same Scouts had not visited Dominica to view his and other others talents?
      If indeed they really wanted to train and develop his skills, wouldn’t it be better to have him enter training in some camp in one of the counties in England, perhaps Brazil where football is like a ritual; from the days of Pele, beyond, and present day?
      The clowns in Dominica need to answer this: the supposed scouts they mentioned, are they international scouts, are they all resident on the hill in Green Bay?
      So, some view that as an opportunity, that’s an opportunity, can someone tell me how many Antigens are on the international scene play in any British team or league? And how many are playing for a team professionally in the United States?
      Just another pappy-show.
