Edwards Wins 76th Cap - Ipswich Town News
New signing Carlos Edwards won his 76th Trinidad and Tobago cap as his side lost 1-0 to the US in Port of Spain last night. Trinidad and Tobago remain bottom of the North, Central America and Caribbean qualifying group and have no chance of reaching South Africa next summer.
According to reports, Edwards, playing in midfield rather than at full-back where he was employed against Honduras at the weekend, caused the US defenders more than a few problems with his pace down either flank.
The 30-year-old is due to join up with the Town squad when they travel to Middlesbrough on Friday and looks unlikely to start at the Riverside as he is yet to train with his new team-mates.

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
