Group B | World ranking: 47 Qualification: Beat Bahrain in a playoff after finishing fourth in the CONCACAF qualifying final group, with wins over Mexico, Guatemala and Panama Coach: Leo Beenhakker Key Players: Dwight Yorke (forward), Stern John (forward) Past Record: First-time qualifiers Group B Matches: June 10: Sweden (Dortmund) June 15: England (Nuremberg) June 20: Paraguay (Kaiserslautern) The Soca Warriors -- representing the smallest nation among the 32 finalists -- have exceeded expectations already simply by qualifying for their first-ever finals, and the emphasis on Germany will be on trying to score a headline-grabbing upset (with England their No. 1 target) rather than mounting a serious campaign to reach the knockout stages. Veteran Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker has brought some much-needed expertise to the Caribbean islanders's set-up with only the aging former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke offering similar top level experience on the pitch.
