What They're Saying
Paraguay head coach Ramon Diaz (via Goal): "There are already many things which need to be improved sooner than later. It was a great result from the emotional side, but we need to improve some other things, although tonight we did a difficult task, coming back from 2-0 against Argentina."
Jamaica head coach Winfried Schafer (via Goal): "I'm very proud of our team, we played very good football [against Uruguay]. We had many chances for a goal. Tactical discipline was perfect, only the final pass or [Darren] Mattocks' big chance, or two headers in the second half. We cannot go out and think we are Barcelona, [or] we are Brazil. We had a very good chance for the first goal."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Mattocks failed to live up to his MLS form in Jamaica's 1-0 loss to Uruguay. In 14 appearances with the Vancouver Whitecaps, the 24-year-old has three goals and an assist. He'll look to finish his chances on Tuesday.
Paraguay's Projected Lineup (4-5-1): Villar; Samudio, Silva, Aguilar, Caceres; Valdez, Ortiz, Caceres, Ortigoza, Gonzalez; Barrios
Jamaica's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Kerr; Lawrence, Hector, Morgan, Mariappa; Laing, McAnuff, Austin, McCleary; Barnes, Mattocks
