This one decides who we'll play in June. Having read up on the two, I think Guyana's probably more of a cricket country than a soccer country.

ST GEORGE'S, Grenada, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Grenada 5 Guyana 0 - result. World Cup qualifier, CONCACAF zone, preliminary round first leg. Halftime: 2-0 Scorers - Nigel Bishop 39, Kennedy Phillip 44, Andy Augustine 79, Anthony Modeste 85, Dennis Rennie 90 Red card: Hendricks (Guyana) 76
-Safe bet that Grenada is flying over here in June after tonight's result. -Let the scouting reports begin! -Actually, I think that flying into tiny Grenada on the 2nd leg will be a much easier tie than going all the way to South America (in JUNE!!!) and have the guys hooked up to IVs at halftime. Sweating has to be the national past-time there. (Anyone ever seen 'Papillon'? - Yeah, I know that's FRENCH Guyana) -Anyone wanna bet that BA was in Grenada with his camcorder? -Looks like Shalrie Joseph was in the line-up for them tonight. -I say: have the match at the HDC.
Only in the Southern Hemishphere. Last time I checked Guyana was north of that. Of course given the location seasonal variations aren't about hot/cold as much as they are rain/lots of rain

Holy crap, talk about golden opportunities for chants at the game. You know, 'cause we'll need the home field advantage and everything.
