James Nicklaw made it a two-goal game when he collected a long ball, turned, and fired it through in the 62nd minute. <\/p>\n<p>India, ranked 141st, narrowed the margin in the dying moments of stoppage time on a strike from Sunil Chhetri, but it didn&#8217;t deter Guam from collecting its second straight upset win. <\/p>\n<p>The victory over India, with a population of 1.2 billion, was just the latest triumph for the tiny island nation of only 170,000. <\/p>\n<p>Last Thursday, Guy and his Guam teammates clinched the program&#8217;s first-ever World Cup qualifying victory when they beat Turkmenistan 1-0 at the GFA National Training Center. In that match, Guy&#8217;s 12th minute long throw in led to an own goal by Turkmenistan defender Annaorazov Serdar. <\/p>\n<p>Guam will continue its qualifying efforts on Sept. 3 when they face Iran in Tehran. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ryan Guy led Guam to a second-straight win in 2-1 victory over India in Tuesday&#8217;s World Cup Qualifier. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[175],"tags":[1168,1181,1274,55,892,196],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nesoccertoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Ryan-13.png?fit=600%2C415","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35886"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35886"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35886\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35888,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35886\/revisions\/35888"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/35887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
