A country famous for producing great cricketers has become eligible to send its footballers to take part in the world's great sporting spectacle.
Trinidad & Tobago's success in reaching Germany has shocked many a soccer pundit.
They were able to come back strongly after a poor start to their qualifying campaign. The appointment of Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker did a world of good to their team.
In their last qualifying match, they needed to win against a team as accomplished as Mexico. But Trinidad & Tobago defied the odds to beat Mexico 2-1, which secured them a play-off against Bahrain.
Their ticket to Germany was confirmed when Bahrain failed to stop their run.
Placed in Group B with England, Paraguay and Sweden, Trinidad & Tobago will do well to earn a point from three matches. But don't write them off. After all, they have come this far in the hardest possible way.
