Trinidad’s 2-1 come-from-behind win over Mexico on the final day of qualifying in Port of Spain saw them edge chasers Guatemala, who also won at home, to grab a spot in the decisive play-off with Bahrain.

Despite some decidedly turbulent ups and downs in the final round of North, Central American and Caribbean qualifying, the Soca Warriors’ wildly impressive performance against an admittedly under-strength Mexico brought them to 13 points and fourth-place in the final six-team group.

The CONCACAF ‘Hexagonal’ finishes with USA and Mexico tangled on top with 22 points apiece (though the USA’s slight statistical advantage has them officially in first place). Costa Rica – who also are heading for Germany next year – end on 16 points while T&T’s 13 see them still alive and kicking. Both fifth-place Guatemala and last-spot Panama will need to wait until qualification to South Africa 2010 before they can begin to dream again of a first-ever finals appearance.
