Sweden 0, Trinidad & Tabago 0

Don't be fooled by the score, this was a far more entertaining game than the morning's snoozer. Both teams came to play (England and Poland could take a lesson). Sweden is one of the more exciting teams in the tournament, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrik Larsson and Freddie Ljungberg all joining the attack. And they showed plenty of offensive prowess, but simply could not break through, despite playing a man up for nearly the entire second half. A combination of out-of-his-mind goalkeeping by Shaka Hislop and poor finishing by the Swedes enabled the Soca Warriors to steal the point. It was a spirited effort by the T&T and the result was well-earned.
