***Trinidad & Tobago v Sweden match thread***

[Benitez]

2 for the price of one?

 

Hopefully better games tonight

 

From the BBC:

 

Defender Marvin Andrews has been ruled out for Trinidad and Tobago after twisting a left knee in training.

 

The 30-year-old is likely to be replaced by Brent Sancho or Ian Cox, who both play for Gillingham.

 

Sweden will be without first-choice goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson (concussion) and will decide between Rami Shaaban or John Alvbage.

 

Tobias Linderoth is a likely starter in midfield after missing two training sessions because of a thigh injury.

 

Trinidad & Tobago (probable): Hislop, Lawrence, Sancho, John, Gray, Birchall, Whitley, Edwards, Jones, John, Yorke.

 

Sweden: (probable): Alvbage, Mellberg, Lucic, Edman, Stenman, Linderoth, Ljungberg, Wilhelmsson, Andersson, Larsson, Ibrahimovic.

 

Referee: Shamsul Maidin (Singapore)

Well we should at least be able to get some goals against T&T. But Svensson is playing instead of Källström, so you never know.. I expect us to win by 3 or 4 goals though.

 

Argentina vs Ivory Coast should be an interesting game. Hopefully we'll see some goals and some nice attacking play, and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends with a win for Ivory Coast.

 

And I wonder how the hell BBC have come up with that team. It will most likely be: Shaaban - Alexandersson, Lucic, Mellberg, Edman - Wilhelmsson, Linderoth, Svensson, Ljungberg - Larsson, Ibrahimovic.

yeah, just seen the team, BBC just guessing there!

 

pissed off Kallstrom isnt playing, got him in me other fantasy footy team

[Guest Jack Bauer]

Come on T&T

[_00_deathscar]

Not sure if the Sweden T&T game will be worth watching ... want to watch Ivory Coast Argies but that's at 3 AM here.

[Nebraska Red]

it's Hislop in goal , not Kelvin Jack you twunt.

 

ABC guys are doing my head in even more than the previous pair.

[stressederic]

Is it just my ITV that keeps losing the picture?

[stressederic]

Enjoying this game. SOme of the Swede's passing and moving is delightful.

 

Henrik Larsson is class as well.

[_00_deathscar]

Decent game.

 

T&T not laying down and doing some attacking themselves.

[Morgul]

Disappointed with the first half. Very little movement, and we don't use the wings at all. It doesn't matter that our forwards are class when the midfield are playing like that. Svensson is s***, get Källström on asap.

[Guest Cally77]

Cracking game this.

[Guest Scot]

Sweden look quite nifty but T&T are working hard. Games like this are what make the World Cup fun.

 

I'm torn between wanting Sweden to spank T&T to make England's life hard and wanting T&T to sneak one.

[R A Softlad]

T&T will need R&R after this one.

yep, same ere. Start of the game I wanted Sweden to get a few goals. But the longer it goes on like this with T&T holding on and competing as they are, I'll want 'em to cause one of them great World Cup upsets!

[stressederic]

T&T down to ten men

[Benitez]

oh dear!

 

Mind, he'd been lucky first half not to get that 2nd yellow!

[Guest Scot]

Terrible decision, poor cn*t

[Shirohana]

First red of the championships for Avery John.

 

Gonna be extremely one-sided now...

[Ahmed Dimwitson]

Terrible decision, poor cn*t

 

terrible decision?

[_00_deathscar]

Nah - 2 footed challenge at shin height.

 

f*** me Sweden went right at it...

[Redwire]

terrible decision?

 

Yes.

 

They're turning the f*cking game into netball.

[Guest Scot]

terrible decision?

 

He won the ball. Hard done to by the diving, rat-tailed pr*ck.

[Guest Scot]

Great stuff this now. T&T unlucky off the crossbar and a fine stop from Hislop.

 

Hehehe...COME ON T&T! Would be great if Sweden went into the England game needing a win, rather than just a point.

 

Btw, anyone notice the Sweden shirt is the same as the England shrt?
