What They're Saying
Mexico interim head coach Ricardo Ferretti on omitting Giovani and Jonathan Dos Santos (via ESPN): "There is no disciplinary reason. I have the right to choose the group and you [the media] have the right to criticize it. Maybe in the future I'll decide to change the list and the criticism will continue."
Trinidad & Tobago head coach Stephen Hart on what it means to face Mexico (via Esto): "This opponent deserves my respect. There's always a benefit to play against them. It will help us prepare for World Cup qualifying. Playing against Mexico is always a game that carries high expectations."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Henry Martin's form in Liga MX caught the eye of Ferretti, allowing him to start on Friday. In seven appearances with Tijuana, the 22-year-old has one goal and three assists. Expect him to play off the shoulder and break Trinidad & Tobago's offside trap.
Mexico's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Talavera; Jimenez, Alanis, Reyes, Nilo; Esquivel, Guemez, Dueñas, Aquino; Vela, Martin
Trinidad & Tobago's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Phillip, Williams, Bakr, Marshall, Cyrus; Jones, Cato, Hyland, Boucaud; Caesar, Winchester
