Caymans with a real chance
The Cayman Islands defied the odds and are in with a real chance of advancing to the next round of World Cup qualifying after their 1-1 away draw against Bermuda. The match seemed to follow a familiar template: Bermuda score early, dominate play but cannot convert numerous scoring opportunities, and Cayman Islands snatch a late equalizer. Now the advantage is all on the Cayman side; a goalless draw on March 26 will see them through.
FIFA.com has a match report here, and there's a preliminary article from Bermuda's Royal Gazette. There should be more reports in the morning.
CORRECTION: Actually, that sigh of relief was from the Eastern Caribbean, because the winner of Bermuda-Cayman Islands plays Trinidad & Tobago. Costa Rica plays the winner of Grenada-US Virgin Islands. I've deleted the erroneous sentence above.
UPDATE: More from the Bermudan papers here and here. If I find something from the Cayman Islands papers, I'll post links.
