Gold Cup Dream Gone Down
On last week Tuesday's news, we told you about the final game that Belize's National Football Team, the Jaguars, was supposed to play against the Guyana National Team.
They travelled to that country for a road game with the hope of qualifying for a second time to the Gold Cup. But, as local football fans found out, on Saturday evening, Guyana ended Belize's Gold Cup dream
They faced off at around 4:30 p.m., and when the final whistle was blown, Belize had lost the game with a final score of 2 to one.
A press release from the FFB says, quote, "Unfortunately, we did not qualify to the 2019 Gold Cup so the next few weeks are crucial as the FFB will analyze and formulate a new strategy for the future A Team in preparation of the next CONCACAF Nation's League tournament. The new series of competitions are scheduled to begin in September 2019 and the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifying matches. Although we did not take home the win on Saturday, Belize qualified for Group B in the next edition of the Nations League." End quote.
The FFB also notes that goalkeeper Woodrow West put on a "spectacular" performance in this game, which allowed Belize's to keep the score as close as possible, all the way to the end of the match.
