World Cup qualifiers: Trinidad books place in World Cup while Aussies undo Uruguay
-Contributed by Erwin Cifuentes. Trinidad and Tobago declared a national holiday shortly after they ensured qualification for their first ever World Cup. Defender Dennis Lawrence scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over Bahrain last Wednesday. The “Soca Warriors” join Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, and the United States as the Western Hemisphere’s representatives to next year’s World Cup. Meanwhile, heartache consumed Uruguay’s team last week, as they were eliminated from reaching the World Cup by Australia. Australia forced a penalty shoot-out after winning the second game 1-0 in Sydney, and Uruguay lost the shoot-out 4-2 as Aussie goalkeeper Mark Schwartzer loomed large by saving two penalty attempts.
