The title says it all really.  I have just finished watching the 3rd World Cup match and it was such an amazing spectacle that I just had to spread the love!.  In fact it was more like an epic than a football match.  The tiny islands of Trinidad and Tobago (I will respectfully refer to Trinidad and Tobago  as T&T from here on) were up against the might of Sweden in a match that was supposedly going to yield a thrashing of the islanders. But nobody could have predicted the outcome.  While some cocky fans and journalists were touting figures such as a 4-0 score against T&T the reality was more like 0-0.  The Swedes were creamed by the little country that could.  Trinidad and Tobago’s first World Cup match ever was by all accounts a smashing success.  While they had entered the game with nothing but smiles on their faces and the expectations of a crushing defeat by the hands of Sweden they fought with more tenacity and courage than any other team in my opinion.  It was a thrilling match with the Swedes’ top international strikers not able to get a single goal.  T&T’s defense was amazing to begin with but was even more amazing when they were reduced to 10 men with a top striker being sent off due to a red card at the start of the second half.  With just 10 men T&T fought on and kept the game tied for an incredible 92 minutes without a single goal being conceived.  I also loved what happened at the end of the match.  The T&T’s fans looked like they had just won the tournament!  It was like a massive carnival with songs, dances, and cheers filling the stadium (and my home theater!). There was no violence or abuse by the Swedish fans. In fact the fans, although obviously distraught and upset, were congratulating the T&T fans and shaking their hands. There was no animosity or ill fate that unfortunately has occurred in the past between rival fans after a defeat. It was such a great sight. I could keep on rattling on and maybe later on I will update this but I just had to post this message because it was such an entertaining game and one which, for me, really made me happy and match that  highlighted how beautiful the beautiful game can be when violence, racism and ill intentions, that are sometimes present at matches, are absent. This has been a stunning and surprising 2 days of football in what looks like is going to be an unforgettable World Cup with tons of surprises, upsets, and tales of remarkable victories . The 3rd match of the day is going to kick off so I am gonna grab some supper and then watch it (because this is just an incredibly entertaining World Cup), I will see you later, bye.
