Trinidad 0-England 3Jermain Defoe scored twice to lift England to a 3-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago in a one-sided friendly in sultry conditions on a bone-hard pitch on Sunday.
The game was played to mark the centenary of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation and doubled as an attempt to win the support of CONCACAF chairman and FIFA vice president Jack Warner for England’s 2018 World Cup bid.
England coach Fabio Capello, in his last game of the season, took the opportunity to look at several fringe players but would have learned little from their stroll against a team ranked 88th in the world.
"I think we played a good game and all the players showed good attitude and good concentration," Capello told reporters. "We vowed to play all the game with good concentration. Every game for me is important. It is important to win games not just have training.
"It was not easy to play here. It is very warm and difficult weather."
The match was over as a contest after 15 minutes as England opened up a 2-0 lead.
Midfielder Gareth Barry scored his first international goal with a close-range volley from Wayne Bridge’s cross after a clever pass from Stewart Downing in the 12th minute.
