IT was a great result but, unfortunately, not a great performance.

TRINIDAD and Tobago's senior football team advanced to the semi-finals of the 1999 Copa Caribe tournament when they mauled Grenada 7-0 in the second match of a Group "A" double-header at the Hasely Crawford Stadium last night.

WHILE this country has seen its share of notable football matches over the past century, no game on local soil, before or since, has been able to capture the level of national attention generated by the World Cup qualifier between Trinidad and Tobago and the U.S.A. on November 19, 1989.

Aston Villa striker Dwight Yorke today admitted that he might never realise his dream of playing in a World Cup finals with Trinidad and Tobago.

 At Aston Villa of the English Premier League, fans belt out the Sinatra standard ''New York, New York'' and tailor the lyrics to their star forward, singing, ''It's up to you, Dwight Yorke, Dwight Yorke.''

It was not the most convincing of victories, but Trinidad and Tobago's senior footballers displayed a great deal of fighting spirit to snatch an injury time 3-2 victory over  Guadeloupe  at Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo, Monday night.

Aston Villa striker Dwight Yorke has taken medical notes from pyhsiotherapist Jim Walker on what could prove to be a wasted 10,000 mile round trip to the Caribbean.
