Bermuda pick up their World Cup Qualifying for 2014 tonight when they host Trinidad & Tobago at the National Sports Centre.A win is the minimum Bermuda require who lost away to T&T 1-0 a month or so ago but this time around the Trinbagonians will be without many of their best players including the injured Kenwyne Jones, Ipswich winger Carlos Edwards and LA Galaxy midfielder Chris Birchall, and the Bermudian FA are encouraging fans to support the team and fill the 4,000 capacity stadium knowing there will be plenty of noisy T&T ex-pats who live and work here on the island.
34-year old Stern John will play for Trinidad & Tobago although ex-Addick Tony Warner missed out on the squad. As for Bermuda the influential Nakhi Wells will be key, but since Phil Parkinson took over his club Bradford City, he has hardly played and will be rusty.
It's a tough ask for Bermuda who are ranked 70 places behind Trinidad & Tobago in FIFA's rankings and have a population of just 5% southern Caribbean island.
Then next Tuesday Guyana come to the island and have included Charlton's Leon Cort in their squad. Both T&T and Guyana have won their two games in the group whilst Barbados and Bermuda
