What They're Saying
Trinidad & Tobago center-back Sheldon Bateau (via CONCACAF): "I think now compared to some of the teams before, too many of the players were a bit older,. Now we have young players who have been to youth World Cups, who have been to the last Gold Cup, so it's the perfect mix of youth and experience."
Panama head coach Hernan Dario Gomez (via CONCACAF): "Trinidad and Tobago, like all the Caribbean teams, has worked well in the Cup. They have been imposed their strength and speed, and have added to the defensive organization of their side and have become a very competitive and very difficult team. Here, the most important thing about this is that Panama maintains and imposes its style and not betray its style. Between that and playing good football, the results will come."
