PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, (CMC):

Disgruntled members of the 2006 Trinidad & Tobago team that played at the FIFA World Cup in Germany have threatened to file bankruptcy proceedings against the T&T Football Federation.

This stems from the long-running dispute between the national governing body and the players over payments and bonuses that were owed to them, following their historic qualification for the famous tournament.

"Two months after receiving a court order to make an interim payment of US$710,000 within seven days, the T&TFF has yet to hand over a single dollar of the sum due to us, the 13 Soca Warriors of the 2006 World Cup Team," the group stated in a media statement appearing on the Soca Warriors Online website.

After the World Cup, the federation declared revenue of just over US$3 million and costs of just under US$3 million, offering the players a split of just under US$950 apiece.

This is so very sad and we could guess where their hard earned money went.. One will have to face the Father one day. Let hope the players continue and see justice prevail.
