Trinidad & Tobago kick off their World Cup Qualifer later tonight against Cuba. Chris Birchall said about the game to the T&T website: "Personally I think we have got the players capable of getting the job done in Cuba but as always in football it all comes down to how well you perform as a team on the day itself and also something special from a player or two can swing the game in your favour.

"From what I've heard from the boys the team has been getting stronger over the past few games and what we have got to do is to make sure we start well and try to take the game to the Cubans and direct the pace of it. It's never going to be easy but we've got to make things happen and go for the three points."
