Tuesday friendles

A couple of early matches today involving World Cup contenders. Japan needed a last minute Nakata goal to scrape a 2-2 draw with Bosnia, in a performance that hardly bodes well for that match against Croatia.

Trinidad and Tobago play Iceland later today at Loftus Road, which will basically be a home crowd for the Soca Warriors.

UPDATE: And T&T wins it!! 2-0 off two goals from Dwight Yorke, who seems to be going through something of a (West) Indian summer. The match reports are saying the Icelanders didn't give two herrings about this match and that it showed in their performance, but it's still a win over a European team in Europe.

I honestly don't think T&T will do much in Group B--it's true they've improved a lot over the past year, but I still don't think they're good enough. Nonetheless, this is the kind of result that will give them belief.
