The World Cup’s smallest nation and most-likely to lose all matches holds off Sweden. And they play almost all of second half with just ten men.

    Not quite the giant killing achieved by Cameroon or Senegal in ‘90 and ‘02, but a very good performance by T&T. Kudos to them. Some sort of good news for Lara, I guess.

  2. Patrix Says:

    Bongo, definitely not! those were cool matches. But considering that no one even gave T&T a second look, eking out a draw against a major European power is credible. Remember, even South American countries with the exception of Argentina and Brazil struggle against Europeans. This might be a boost for CONCAF.

    Isaw the match, actually I have taken cable. End of finding sports bars. :)

    The second half was more engrossing and a real treat. It was just a question of confidence I think.

  4. Patrix Says:

    Confused, I expected it to be a washout and skipped it but proves that not all draws are boring.

  5. Ashwin Says:

    The 0-0 draw between Trinidad&Tobago was much more absorbing than England’s 1-0 win over Paraguay!!

  6. Pratyush Says:

    That quote was by the commentator during the match. Hilarious.

  7. Patrix Says:

    Ashwin, I guess I just picked the wrong match to see.

    Pratyush, was it? since I didn’t see the match, I found it via the WC Blog. Wonder how many Mexicans were offended.
