I was just reading about the Dominicans who where traveling en route to St. Thomas. 21 players boarded a flight on Monday from the Capital Santo Domingo to San Juan, Puerto Rico. During the two and a half stopover they went to get some food, and never came back to catch the flight. I guess this was their opportunity to get out of the Dominican republic and find a better life.

Did the paper mention their age? I hope they didn't leave a wife and children in DR.

Yes in title you did mention trio but in your message section you mention 21. If you miss the title it seems you are referring to 21 missing. Got it.

You mean soccer team. Football is played only in America. They play soccer.

The football I was referring to was the one you actually play with your feet. Not run and catch one with the fat guys.

Funny but the name soccer is used in the US. The rest of the world calls it football.
