What They're Saying
Guatemala defender Stefano Cincotta (via CONCACAF): "I am very happy with the experience I am living now with the national team. I always wanted to play for my country. I was born in Guatemala. I have always wanted to play for Guatemalan national team. It is something special. I want to accomplish great things with the national team. At least reach the [Gold Cup] semifinals. We want to win all the games and fight and we want to give the people of our country to be happy about."
Former Trinidad & Tobago defender Brian Williams (via Newsday): "I'm hoping that some of the guys, some of the younger players who might be exposed in the Gold Cup will get that necessary experience, that exposure, and that will only augur good for them in the future."
