A night of ecstasy and anguish

AP, London
Trinidad and Tobago and the Czech Republic advanced to the World Cup for the first time Wednesday, the final day of qualifying that began 26 months ago.
Spain qualified for its eighth straight tournament as the final five berths in the 32-nation field were filled, while Switzerland ousted Turkey, a 2002 semifinalist, and Australia beat Uruguay to advance for the first time since 1974 and become the first nation to qualify for a World Cup in a penalty-kick shootout.
Trinidad and Tobago won 1-0 at Bahrain to win the home-and-home, total-goals series 2-1 and become the fourth team in the tournament from North and Central America and the Caribbean.
"When we started in May after three matches the team only had one point and nobody gave us a chance," coach Leo Beenhakker said on FIFAworldcup.com.
"In the qualifying matches it went better and better, and this, of course,
is the result. "
The qualifiers will be drawn into eight four-team groups on Dec. 9 at Leipzig, Germany. Next year's tournament runs from June 9 to July 9.
Although Czechoslovakia, which split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993, played in the World Cup several times, the Czech Republic had never qualified. It's 1-0 home win over Norway, combined with a 1-0 away victory in the first game, pushed the Czechs forward.
"It's the peak of my career," said coach Karel Bruckner, who led the Czechs to the semifinals at the 2004 European Championship.
Already leading 5-1 from the home leg in Madrid, Spain tied 1-1 at Slovakia to advance. The Spanish extended their unbeaten streak under coach Luis Aragones to 18 games.
"Getting to the finals is a big thing. We'll go to the finals with humility, but we have enough quality to do something big. We hope we'll all be at our best, " Spain midfielder Xavi Hernandez said.
The Swiss, leading 2-0 from the first leg in Berne, had a scare in Istanbul, where Turkey won 4-2, powered by a hattrick by Tuncay Sanli. The teams wound up tied 4-4 on in
total goals, but Switzerland advanced having scored more away goals.
TRINIDAD-BAHRAIN
Held to a 1-1 tie at home in the first leg, Trinidad got its winning goal from defender Dennis Lawrence in the 49th minute. The 6-foot-6 player headed in a corner kick from Dwight Yorke for the only goal in Manama.
The playoff ended with the home side furious with the referee for disallowing what would have been a late tying goal and with the visitors' timewasting tactics.
Previously, the closest Trinidad came to qualifying was for the 1990 tournament. Needing a tie at home in its final game, the Soca Warriors lost 10 to the United States, which thus qualified for the event for the first time since 1950. The only other Caribbean teams to make the tournament were Cuba in 1938, Haiti in 1974 and Jamaica in 1998.
CZECH REPUBLIC-NORWAY Any hope Norway had of a turnaround in Prague ended when Tomas Rosicky put the Czechs ahead after 35 minutes.
Milan Baros' pass to Pavel Nedved was deflected in the penalty area to the unmarked Rosicky, whose low shot from 10 yards found the back of Norway's net with goalkeeper Thomas Myhre diving in vain. It was Rosicky's 15th goal in his 52nd international appearance.
SPAIN-SLOVAKIA
With a big lead from the first leg, Spain wasn't troubled in Bratislava.
Filip Holoski put Slovakia ahead seven minutes into the second half. But David Villa extinguished any hope of a big comeback by tying it with 20 minutes to go.
"I'm happy for my players, for my country and for myself. Spain has always qualified for the last 30 years, so there's not a lot to celebrate. But I'm content, we've done the job," Aragones said.
TURKEY-SWITZERLAND
In Istanbul, Switzerland forward Alex Frei gave his team the lead with a first-minute penalty kick, but Tuncay Sanli scored twice and Necati Ates converted a penalty kick to make it 3-1 for the Turks.
Marco Streller scored the decisive goal in the 84th minute, making it 3-2 and putting the pressure on the Turks to score two more goals. Tuncay soon got his third goal, but the Swiss held on.
"All football fans, and those who might become fans, are feverish with impatience for the World Cup next summer," Swiss President Samuel Schmid said.
Players from both teams fought in the tunnel on the way to the locker room following the game and one Swiss player was reportedly hospitalized.
Defender Stephane Grichting was taken to Acibadem Hospital following the scuffle, the Anatolia news agency reported.
