Let’s go boys!
You can’t use the word boys – that’s racist according to the PLP!
25 PLP to 11 oba/UBP.
..and now Craig Trump is your leader LMAO!
All depends on the context. i am sure you knew that.
Are there no tickets available for the bleachers, just for the grandstand?
With the weather forecast for tonight, the bleachers wont be a good idea. Plus they prefer to sell out the Grandstand first.
Just a bit of rain!
HUGE game! A win (or draw) tonight, and then a win at home to Aruba in March should see Bermuda through to the 2019 CONCACEF Gold Cup. That would mean games against countries such as USA, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Trinidad & Tobago, at the tournament to be held in the USA. HUGE!!!
Why this game hasn’t been advertised for weeks is beyond me. This might explain why only the Grandstand and not the uncovered seating is open. The biggest game for years in front of one stand. Shameful.
It has been advertised all over, you must not read anything!
Try the main sports story on The RG and BN all week.
I want to sit in the bleachers not the Grand Stand. B.F.A PLEASE HAVE BOTH SIDES OPEN
Well done Bermuda! Congratulations on your win!
For context, Bermuda ranked 180 in the world have just beaten El Salvador ranked 70 in the world.
Teams around 70th? South Africa, Canada, Algeria, China, The Ivory Coast.
Sometimes it seems the BFA is a boys club devoted to the social clubs, and sometimes you have to say well done, this is impressive.
Sometimes, the team can get it together despite whatever administrative issues exist. This result is really huge all things considered and the squad should be delighted.
I’m Salvadoran, but congrats to Bermuda, and Yes! It is impressive!
BERMY MASSIVE WIN! Nahki gotta start against Aruba in March and get a home win! BERMP BERMP!! Make it happen.
