What They're Saying
Mexico head coach Miguel Herrera (via MLS): "Forget what we did in the last game. We didn't do anything, we didn't respond well; we played a very, very good game against Costa Rica, then followed that up with a very bad game. Fortunately, we still had a path to the final. Now I've spoken with the boys. We all saw that the game wasn't a good one and we were all conscious of that. We weren't partying after that game. People were frustrated because they were aware of how they'd been doing the whole tournament to come out ahead, and we didn't do that with Panama. We noticed that and that's important, we have to correct some errors. Thankfully, we're able to correct those errors while winning."
Jamaica head coach Winfried Schafer (via CONCACAF): "Mexico is one of the best teams in CONCACAF, not only CONCACAF. In the World Cup, [they] played fantastic football. I like this football, one touch, two touch. Celebration."
