We are into stoppage time. Three minutes to be added. The Swedish horns have visibility wilted over the last 90 minutes. Sweden looks set to become the Scotland of the 2006 World Cup.

Whistle goes and unbelievably T&T draw with Sweden and a nation will explode with joy. Another nation will probably just explode. Lars Lagerback will probably have to knock back a few lagers tonight.

A historic day with so many outstanding performances from T&T. Hislop brilliant, Lawrence a giant, Yorke the savy veteran, Stern John tireless. My man of the match - Carlos Edwards. He covered every blade of grass up and down the right side. What a performance.

Lagerback has left it late before taking off his holding midfield player Linderoth. What is with conservative Swedish coaches? Kallstrom is on in his place. Another chance drops to Allback and Hislop (former Baltimore Blast player) pulls off another great save!

If Ecuador's win was an earth tremor a T&T-Sweden draw would be an earthquake - on second thoughts I'm in LA and perhaps I shouldn't be mentioning the big E word!

Another chance for Sweden as the ball is played across an open goal and then Edwards again makes a great saving tackle.

The Swedish pressure is constant but theT&T defense is bending but so far they have not broken.

Last five minutes - England and Paraguay fans are rooting for T&T. Come to think of it everyone except Sweden are hoping T&T hold on.

Well so much for Samuel making a difference with his speed - although he moved quite quickly to the sideline as Cornell Glen (LA Galaxy) replaced him. Glen makes an immediate impression as he rattles the crossbar. Hislop pulls off a stunning save just after Ibrahimovic throws an elbow out at the excellent Carlos Edwards of Luton.

Allback on for Svensson and Sweden go with three up front. Swedish sphincters are tightening!

Three and half games and we get the first red card. Avery John (New England Revolution) launches himself into a tackle - already on a yellow card - and gets his second one. If T&T had a mountain to climb before they now face the twin peaks of Kilimanjaro.

Still scoreless and it will be interesting to see if Sweden make a change. They did create a couple of chances but the longer Sweden goes without a goal the more nervous they will get and the resolute Trinidad's defending will become.

Samuel on the left side has some pace and I wonder if he can create something down that side.
