Soca Warriors still hopeful

Trinidad 038; Tobago have won plaudits for battling performances against England and Sweden at their first World Cup but they must now turn acclaim into points to stay in the tournament. The Caribbean islanders, who drew 0-0 with Sweden and gave England a fright before losing 2-0, still have a mathematical chance of making the second round if they beat pointless Paraguay in their last Group B game on Tuesday. If Trinidad win in Kaiserslautern and Sweden lose to England, second place will be decided on goal difference between the islanders and the Scandinavians.

Captain Dwight Yorke remains optimistic. 8220;I am sure they England will do that and beat Sweden for us and we have to get the job done versus Paraguay,8221; he said. 8220;The most important thing is that we gave ourselves a chance and people didn8217;t think we can do that and here we are still biting in there.8221;

Paraguay have nothing to play for but pride after successive 1-0 defeats when, for all their technical astuteness, they failed to translate their possession into goals. Justin Palmer
