UK media count three points

“Trinidad are left embarrassed by Earnshaw’s strike” was the headline in The Observer. “Trinidad and Tobago are considered the least troublesome opponents that England will face in the group stages of the World Cup, which is presumably why Sven-Goran Eriksson, a man who will normally accept an invitation to an international match as swiftly as a call to take tea with Roman Abramovich, saw no reason to swap his Regent’s Park home for the tiny UPC Arena here in Graz,” the Telegraph stated. The paper went on to add though that TT would have earned the respect of the English spy at the stadium.

Trinidad and Tobago went down 2-1 to Wales in an international friendly in Austria on Saturday winning on goals by Robbie Earnshaw while Stern John netted for the Soca Warriors. Looking back at the performance against Wales, team coach Leo Beenhakker was impressed by defender Cyd Gray and said he could always depend on striker John to make use of chances when they came his way. He also gave a pat on the back to young midfielder Densill Theobald when he made his way off in the second half.

Veteran midfielder Russell Latapy was also proud of the Falkirk player.
