So, it's time for my team to enter the tournament. How do you think it will go?

Sweden has the, on paper, greatly superior team, but Isaksson (GK) is injured and we've got no good second goalie. T&T has Yorke, though he is a bit old nowadays.

I think it will be a pretty clear victory for Sweden, probably 2-0 or somewhere around those parts.

Well Sweeden will probably beat T&T, there is a much smaller margin for an upset as there was with Ecuador vs Poland


I still want Trinidad and Tobago to win tho

Sweden's form of play is purely a masturbatory practice in aimless longballs.

Avery John of Trinidad has just received his 2nd yellow and has been tossed from the game. He will also miss the next game due to the red card.

a red card after how many seconds into the 2nd half???

As much as I would like to see T&T win, I have little hope left...:(

Red card occured at the 46 minute mark.

I guess you missed the ball hitting the near post? The ball that was kicked by a T-T player?

Yellow card is a caution. Get 2 yellows in one game and you are out of the game. On top of that, you miss the next game too.
Corneliu

Looks like we are going to have a nill nill tie here!

Well done T-T.

I'm seriously pissed off now. At least we were better than England. They got their win from the opponents, we got our draw all by ourselves :D And if England keeps playing like they did against Paraguay... I mean, we had good opportunities, but that was one good goalkeeper.

I'm glad TT tied. i thought Sweden was going to win honestly, but for TT to actually not lose seemed to be a surprise for all.

A win on their part.

They could lose to England 10-0 now and still go home and be met as heroes!

Well, i think it's their first time getting into the World Cup anyway. They'd be heroes even if they lost this game.

What a fucking dissappointment!

I'm down. Well, Sweden will ultimately win though. I mean, Olympic gold and WC win in hockey isn't complete without the footie WC win...

That was a fantastic game, even without goals.

Seeing a team really dig in and do it for the shirt was great. Reminiscent, for me, of NI winning vs. England last September.

And Sweden just kept trying as well, just couldn't get through.

Trinidad and Tobago deserved that tie. Were unlucky to hit the crosbar. Could have left the games as winners but a tie against Sweden is nothing to joke about.
