ENGLAND SINKS SOCA WARRIORS
Crouch, Gerrard score in 2-0 loss
Every World Cup has its Cinderella. And, in every World Cup, the wheels eventually fall off the pumpkin coach. For unheralded Trinidad & Tobago, that breakdown came in the 83rd minute of Thursday's match against England at Franken-Stadion, when David Beckham curled a pinpoint 35-yard free kick to Peter Crouch, who soared over defender Brent Sancho to break a scoreless tie and send the British Lions through to the second round of Germany 2006.

BEENHAKKER NAMES T&T ROSTER
Bringing an Island Attitude to Germany
If coach Leo Beenhakker has his way, Trinidad & Tobago will enter the 2006 World Cup as one of the most relaxed teams in the 32-team field. He feels players cannot be successful if they are not enjoying themselves, and if they are having fun playing their game, they just might pull off an upset.
