  Football Massive!

In far and away the most significant football achievement in its history, Trinidad and Tobago tied Sweden yesterday. I had the misfortune of watching the whole thing at a Swedish bar. I was one of two people out of perhaps 600 rooting for T&T.

Trinidad Express
:
For the final ten minutes, Dortmund's Westfalenstadoin ground rocked to chants of "Trinidad! Trinidad!" from neutral supporters impressed by the personality and colour of the red, black and white army.
Washington Post:
"It's massive," Trinidad and Tobago captain Dwight Yorke said. "This is a historical moment for our people and our country, and certainly the people who came out to support us. We were the underdogs here, quite rightly so because we are a small nation, but we showed a lot of heart."
Next game: versus their former colonizer, England, on June 15.
