TRINIDAD & TOBAGO

The surprising Caribbean
The surprise that no one expected
This is the first World Cup this Caribbean team will play in. After a lazy start in the hexagonal CONCACAF, Dutch trainer Leo Beenhakker arrived to coach and raised the bar, winning in the second round against Bahrein. Advancing to the 1/8 finals would be a very historic event.
