Preview: Of the six teams making their World Cup debut in 2006, Trinidad
and Tobago is perhaps the biggest underdog. Sportsbooks list the squad at
1000/1 to win it all, but what matters most is the tiny Caribbean nation
of 1 million getting a chance to see themselves on the world stage.
Many of the Trinidad and Tobago players play abroad in England, Scotland, and
the
United States, and can rely on the veteran leadership of former Manchester
United star Dwight York as well as experienced
Dutch
coach coach Leo Beenhakker.
Result: In earning their first World Cup point ever, Trinidad &
Tobago achieved and surpassed the dreams and aspirations of their fans.
For the first 175 minutes of World Cup play they seemingly defied the laws of
sports in keeping
England
and
Sweden
scoreless.
