Dwight Yorke
GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala, CMC
TRINIDAD AND Tobago's English premiership big name player Dwight Yorke is clutching on to hopes of a revival for the Soca Warriors after they crashed to a disastrous 5-1 loss to Guatemala in World Cup qualifying at the Mateo Flores Stadium on Saturday.
Trinidad and Tobago are sitting at the bottom of the six-team table and are the only team without a point in the series that automatically qualifies the top three teams for the World Cup Finals in Germany next year.
Yorke, wearing the captain's armband in Saturday's heavy loss to Guatemala, urged his teammates to pick themselves up and get on with the task ahead.
"It's not like we can't get the job done and get results but at the same time we've got to look back at where we have gone wrong and try to correct these mistakes and move on," said Yorke, looking ahead to today's home match against another Central American outfit.
"We've got to pick up and go again and it starts from Wednesday when we play Costa Rica," Yorke said in a T&T Football Federation (TTFF) web site story.
Mexico, which beat the United States 2-1 on Sunday, head the standings on six points ahead of Guatemala (four), the USA and Costa Rica (three) and Panama (one).
In other CONCACAF qualifiers today, the Mexicans will travel to play Panama while the US are at home to Guatemala.
