It depends on whether you mean just this year's World Cup or also including past ones. It is the smallest nation to qualify for 2006.

no, they failed to qualify in the qualifying stages. They should be though, because they are one of the top 32 teams in the world, they could beat Angola, Tunsia, Togo, and probably others too. Ireland get ripped off if you ask me.

Trinidad and Tobago has competed in the world cup competition for many years but this (2006) is the first time the  team has reached the finals,\n\nThe competition begins more than a year before the finals.

I think it is a tie with Trinidad and Tobago AND Czech Republic.\nTrinidad, the smallest team in the tournament was expected to get creamed but held their ground with 10 men. Hislop was great and yorke helped. The Czechs were also good scoring three amazing goals against the U.S.\nPeter Nedved was good as their leader. Expect the Czechs to go far.

Trinidad and Tobago is in the same group as England, Paraguay, and Sweden. So they will not even be playing Germany.

Imdia is weak in Football. For enterence in FIFA World Cup, qualifier rounds are there. If a country passes these qualifiers, they are qualified for World Cup. As a matter of fact, India was selected for FIFA World Cup in 1950. India ,then, was so poor that the players played without wearing Shoes.So, they were not allowed to play!!!

They did qualified, in 1950 but they withdrew because FIFA would not let them play in bare feet. Seriously..

Well, right in this moment there are some matches left of the first pack of them. For a concrete answer we will have to wait for this matches to pass, but in the meantime, i think Sweden, who was unable to score against Trinidad and Tobago. Because the question here is Sweden was really that bad or Trinidad and Tobago really make progress. I incline for the first one.\n\nAbout England, I see that Paraguay is really underated, remember they get a place to the World Cup in Conmebol one of the hardest zones to qualified to the World Cup.  I expect more of England and of Paraguay in next games.\n\nNow considering FIFA World Ranking Mexico and United States are n't in the place they deserve, they should be under many teams. But still they can do great things, still not with great performances, just doing the necesary. Still USA has to play his match and then we will see if this team was the most overated.

Yes they can. Of course. They do not have tough opponents at all. Winning against Trinidad, Canada, Mexico and USA is very possible . No doubt. Jamaica, El Salvador, Cuba and etc are not strong teams. If Trinidad make it, Guatemala can do it too.. Why do you think an overrated team like Mexico whose pride after 12 appearances is that once upon time they qualified to 1/4th at home, can qualify and Guatemala can not?

they will qualify again and this time we will go further so watch out world africa 2010 here we come. and to all the people who have been saying bad things about us keep on talking because the more u try to bring us down the harder we fight to reach the top. GO TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO THE DREAM OF A NATION HAS BEEN WITNESSED BY THE WORLD THE WORLD KNOWS WHO WE ARE NOW. IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!!!!
