Think about the poor Icelanders, who could have felt like you guys did in 2006 
No sympathy, they may be smaller but despite their failure they are treated with much more respect within their confederation than T&T is is within Concacaf (even ignoring the Warner effect). Also unlike us this was Iceland's first shot genuine shot at qualification, we have had three and have battled through to the final group on 2/3 other occasions and I garauntee they threw more money at this attempt than T&T has ever done.
Outside of T&T the only time our 74 failure was widely discussed was during and post the Strike squads run for the 90 world cup and the rest of the world was only interested in that run due to our opponents at the time (USA) and their circumstances.
As a football nation, Iceland has ah long way to go to experience the High's and low's T&T has experienced over the past 40+ years. Baharain and a number of African nations have had harder luck. I can't sympathise with Baharain either as they had millions of dollars of investment poured into what they considered to be a sound development programme.
