Might not be Newcastle related but back in the world cup qualifers for the 2006 World Cup my national team reached the play-off's and we got Trinidad and Tobago, we played away in the first leg and got a 1-1 draw in a game we should've won, so it all came down to the seconed leg here in Bahrain, i remember being in the stadium 2-3 hours before the game started and the stadium was already full! everyone expected to win and reach the world cup as we were a far better side, but we played awfull football that day, Denis Lawrence headed them infront just after the seconed half started and they managed to held on to that and win it.
I remember never wanting to see anything football related for the next 3 weeks, one of the worse moments of my life.
