My impression is T&T is the Carribean team's definitely an underdog. They've played good defense and despite being dominant on the field, Sweden hasn't been able to convert its shots. If this holds through the second half, we may be looking at an upset. Ooh boy! This is one of the reasons I love the World Cup; you can't count out surprises. We'll see if this is one of them. This game is in Dortmund.

Tomorrow is the "Freeper" match -- Mexico vs. Iran.

Probably the two countries most disliked by Freepers.

I'll be hoping Mexico beats the nutters.

Whoa -- RED CARD for T&T!

Wow! What a surprise ending... T&T wasn't expected to win but thanks to a dogged defense despite being a man down due to a red card, they held off Sweden the entire second half. A draw is huge for a small island nation. A summer "Cool Runnings?" No, its not the famous Jamaican bobsled team, but T&T against all expectations, acquitted themselves well today. True, it wasn't a win but it was football played with drama and determination. People will remember this World Cup game.
