Priskin and Edwards Win Caps - Ipswich Town News

Tamás Priskin and Carlos Edwards picked up international caps in World Cup qualifiers last night but both were on the losing side.

Priskin won his 22nd cap when he came on as a 56th minute substitute as his Hungary side lost 3-0 in Portugal.

The Hungarians still stand a very, very slim chance of finishing second in their group but need to beat Denmark, who have already qualified, on Wednesday, hope Portugal and Sweden both lose and that there’s a massive turnaround in goal difference.

Edwards won his 77th full cap and captained Trinidad and Tobago, playing the full 90 minutes as his team lost 4-0 in Costa Rica.

Trinidad and Tobago sit bottom of the six-team North, Central America and Caribbean qualifying table and have no chance of qualification. They complete their fixtures with a game against former Town loanee Giovani Dos Santos and his already qualified Mexicans on Wednesday.

Gareth McAuley and Northern Ireland are also in action on Wednesday when they play their final qualifier in the Czech Republic, a match they have to win to stand any chance of finishing second in their group, although realistically they are already out as they require San Marino to beat Slovenia and a major turnaround in goal difference.

The central defender has previously won 19 caps and has scored one international goal.

Owen Garvan is again likely to skipper the Republic of Ireland U21s on Tuesday when they face Switzerland in a European U21 Championships game in Waterford, having drawn 1-1 with Georgia on Friday. Garvan has won 12 caps at U21 level.
