Coach: Leo Beenhakker
Tactics: Well organised and physical.
Star Player: Dwight Yorke - vastly experienced and the only T&T player to have succeeded at the highest level.
Verdict: Worthy winners over Bahrain in the play-offs but their adventure will end fairly swiftly in Germany. Beenhakker will have them well drilled but they lack genuine class and that will be exposed against the best. Have little chance of making it past the group stage but are sure to enjoy their time in Germany.
