Bermuda will have to top a group that includes Trinidad, Barbados and Guyana to advance to the semi-final stage of the region’s 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.Caribbean powerhouse Trinidad who were not among the top six seeded Concacaf teams which included USA, Jamaica and Mexico will start as the red-hot group favourites.But Bermuda will be able to draw strength and confidence from their famous 2-1 victory in Trinidad during the 2010 qualifiers, courtesy of a John Barry Nusum brace. They lost the return leg 2-0 at the National Sports Centre (NSC), to bow out 3-2 on aggregate.Of the four teams, the Gombey Warriors are the lowest in Fifa’s world rankings in 185th place, although they will be more than optimistic of punching above their weight against Barbados and Guyana. Trinidad are 88th in the rankings, while Guyana are 114 and Barbados 145.More than 5,000 fans flocked to the NSC to support Bermuda against Trinidad three years ago, and Bermuda Football Association president Larry Mussenden is hoping for similar bumper crowds for this year’s home qualifiers.“I’m happy to see the group that Bermuda have been drawn in. We will take nothing for granted and prepare seriously for each match,” said Mussenden. “We will have to get every point that we can in order to advance and so I ask everyone to support our matches at home and if possible away.“The Bermuda Hogges campaign was vital preparation for the Bermuda national team and we now support the coaches and players in their preparation for the World Cup qualifying campaign.“We look for support at every level and we remind Bermuda residents to plan to make the stadium as full and as exciting as the last match against Trinidad a few years ago. We need to do that for every match.”The World Cup preliminary draw was held in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, with Bermuda placed in Group B of the North, Central America and Caribbean region.Matches will be played between September 2 and November 15 on a home and away basis. The highest-placed team will progress to round three which takes place from June 8 to October 16, 2012. Should they progress to that stage, the road to the World Cup will become even tougher for Bermuda as they have been grouped with Mexico and Costa Rica and the winners of Group A, which includes El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Suriname and Cayman Islands.The top two nations from the four semi-final groups will march on to the final round from which the top three qualify for Brazil 2014. The fourth-place team will go into the intercontinental play-off with Oceania.Trinidad, Guyana and Barbados were recently at the centre of a Fifa corruption investigation, and threatened with life bans unless they explained their part in a meeting where ex-presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hammam allegedly offered votes for cash to Caribbean members.All three of Bermuda’s second round opponents were among 15 Caribbean nations who had until last Thursday to provide their “truthful and complete” versions.Bin Hammam has since been slapped with a life ban by FIFA, while ex-Fifa vice-president Jack Warner, of Trinidad, resigned amid allegations he had facilitated the paying of the bribes.Bermuda Football Association were one of the whistleblowers that helped lift the lid on the worst corruption scandal to blight the sport’s governing body.Concacaf 2014 World Cup qualifying drawSecond roundGroup A - El Salvador, Suriname, Cayman Islands, Dominican RepublicGroup B - Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, Barbados, BermudaGroup C - Panama, Dominica, Nicaragua, BahamasGroup D - Canada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Puerto Rico, St. LuciaGroup E - Grenada, Guatemala, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize Group F - Haiti, Antigua, Curacao, U.S. Virgin Islands
