15th June 2011 - The first match of the 2014 World Cup qualifying process was played today when Montserrat hosted Belize in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying. The match was held in Trinidad and Tobago in front of a crowd of just 100 people - and there was no shortage of goals as Belize thumped their hosts 5-2.
