It was a FANTASTIC game!!! Avery John's second tackle was NOT hard and the commentators said that they thought the referee made a mistake in issuing the second yellow which got him taken off.
Similarly the other card was pulled because Dwight Yorke did not get away from the ball fast enough when sweden was taking a free kick. If you didn't see the game, you wouldn't be able to comment on the cards or suggest that any of the sides needed to cool down. One of the yellows though, was well deserved and resulted from a wild and desperate tackle. But yes, Sweden was diving all over the field looking to get whatever spot kick situations they could. THe Swedish team is almost uniformly larger and stronger than their Trini counterparts yet they were falling in shoulder to shoulder engagements outside the area as though we outweighted them by a ton!! It was a fantastic showing from our team! Down to 10 men and at some points 9, due to injury and the guy going to the side of the field for treatment, and we held a team which many thought was the best in the group and would give England a tough run for their money! We were ecstatic for the draw here in Trinidad, and the entire stadium erupted with chants of Soca warrior. Whatever happens next we're really happy at the team performance. As the tiniest country ever to make the world cup it's amazing that we were able to hold a team like sweden to a Nil Nil draw ^_^.
