Yorke says Saturday's result ranks among the finest of his career

The handbook given to journalists at the World Cup states that Trinidad and Tobago have "generated no history".

By holding Sweden to a goalless draw on Saturday, the Soca Warriors have now created memories that will be forever cherished in a small corner of the West Indies.

And Leo Beenhakker's team hope they can create an even bigger shock against England at the Franken-Stadion in Nuremberg on Thursday.

"I would say there is confidence there now," Soca Warriors captain and former Manchester United star Dwight Yorke told BBC Sport.

"We needed a big performance against Sweden and went out and showed a lot of courage.

"I did not know that my players had such fantastic character. That is a game that five years ago we would probably have lost."

We thought we could get something against Sweden - we're not saying we can get something against England Chris Birchall

The match against England will be particularly significant for Port Vale midfielder Chris Birchall, who was born in Stafford but is eligible to play for Trinidad & Tobago because his mother was born in Port of Spain.

"A lot of our team play in England, so you don't have to tell us how important it is," he told BBC Sport.

"I did not want to get carried away and just look forward to that game."

Yet no one in the Soca Warriors camp is under any illusions that, after holding Sweden despite playing 44 minutes of the second-half with 10 men, life will be easier against England.

Birchall said: "Before the tournament we thought we could get something against Sweden, but we are not saying we are going to go out and get something against England.

"They are a massive force and one of the favourites to win it (the World Cup). They are not really good starters but they come strong game after game."

Both Beenhakker and Yorke said Saturday's result was among their finest moments in football.

I cannot ask any more of my players - I am very proud of them Leo Beenhakker

Beenhakker coached Holland at the 1990 World Cup and has also managed Saudi Arabia, Ajax, Feyenoord and Real Madrid.

The 63-year-old said: "I think it is a big success, especially when you play the second half with only 10 men.

"I cannot ask any more of my players. I am very proud of them."

Yorke, who was a member of the Manchester United team that won the Treble in 1999, admitted: "This is right among the very best.

"The historical moment with Man Utd was massive, but to captain your country on the world stage, and the point we got, is absolutely fantastic."

If the Soca Warriors were to take something from their match with England, it would top even that.
