What They're Saying
Haiti midfielder James Marcelin (via CONCACAF): "The U.S. game gave us more confidence. That's why we won this game [against Honduras]. With the U.S. game, we said we could go for it because the U.S. is one of the best teams in the world right now, beating a lot of big teams. I didn't even know that [my goal against Honduras was the team's first in that matchup]. Whatever happens right now, we'll enjoy the moment and we're going to work hard for the next game."
Jamaica head coach Winfried Schafer (via Oregon Live): I told [Alvas Powell] your time is coming. Now we need him, he told me he don't want to play. You have no chance when you think about I, I, I. No, it's we that's important; we, the team, that's important."
