Despite being reduced to 10 men moments into the second half, World Cup minnows Trinidad & Tobago held heavily favored Sweden to a scoreless draw Saturday. The Carribean side lost Avery John when he picked up his second yellow card 19 seconds after the second-half kick-off, but a valiant defensive effort lead by goalkeeper Shaka Hislop repeatedly frustrated the attacking Swedes, who controled possession for nearly the entire match. T&T only managed six shots on goal to Sweden's 18, but they nearly cracked the goalline at the 58 minute mark when Cornell Glen struck the crossbar.

In a less impressive showing, match England beat Paraguay 1-0 on an own-goal forced by a David Beckham free kick in the early Group B match.
