Ten-man Trinidad and Tobago shocks Sweden

[leviathan]

Trinidad and Tobago, the twin-island Caribbean nation with a population of 1.3 million, was the smallest country ever to reach the World Cup and needed to beat Bahrain in a playoff just to get here.


Despite playing nearly the entire second half with 10 men, the Soca Warriors played like they belong on soccer's biggest stage, earning a 0-0 draw with Sweden in Group B at the World Cup.
Hislop turned aside countless chances from the heavily favored Swedes, and Yorke provided a steadying influence. As the final whistle blew, the Trinidad players mobbed Hislop in his goal. After the dejected Swedes left the field, Yorke led his teammates to the stands where they applauded their fans who had waited years for this game.

congratz to trinidad!
a very professional game and were able to stop the well calculated and multi-tactical swedish team, they were unlucky one of their shots hit sweden's post otherwise they could have earned themselves 3 points tonite instead of 1!

The strangest part is that Shaka Hislop isnt even T&T's first choice keeper, and now the way he performed against Sweden, phenomenal, he will probably play the remaining two group encounters with England and Paraguay atleast.
