World Cup Standings

Massive result, says Yorke

DORTMUND – Dwight Yorke has played in many international matches and has won some of the biggest prizes in the game. But according to him, nothing could compare to yesterday's stunning 0-0 draw against Sweden in Trinidad and Tobago's opening World Cup match.

"This is what football and dreams are all about," the captain said after the game. "To come up against a mighty footballing country of Sweden's status and obviously being a tiny country like ours. It's a massive result for us. Massive," said York who was named Player-Of-The-Match.

Sweden are ranked 16th in the world and Trinidad and Tobago 47th. Yesterday, Hislop turned aside countless chances from the heavily favoured Swedes, and Yorke provided a steadying influence.
