Soca Warriors, publicity and country branding

With the slogan, “the fighting spirit of the Caribbean”, the Soca Warriors have demonstrated passion, determination and class, qualities, which people will associate with Trinidad and Tobago. Many are hoping that tourism will rise because of it.

The story of the underdogs (we’re not underdogs by the way, we’re just here for the first time), has captured the hearts of many and they feel for us because we’ve risen to the occassion and shown that passion, determination and love for one’s country can sometimes create all the drive and potential one needs to succeed. Trinis, who have flocked to Germany, have also shown people just how much fun it is to be a Trini, and have shared our vibrant culture.

Eternal optimists, the people of Trinidad and Tobago, myself included, are hopeful for a win against Paraguay on Tuesday coming. We’re even hopeful that England will beat Sweden, we’re going to beat Paraguay by many goals, and we’re going to make it into the second round. Wow, that would be like winning the World Cup!

Like we say, “win or lose we fightin’”!
