Bus Ride Scheduled For The Soca Warriors vs. U.S. Men’s National Team World Cup Qualifying Match
SOUTH FLORIDA – Trinidad and Tobago’s Soca Warriors are gearing up to take on the U.S. National Men’s Team in a 2018 World Cup Qualifying Match on September 6, 2016 8pm at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Fla.
Trinidad’s Soca Warriors currently sit atop Group 3 of CONCACAF qualifying with 10 points, the U.S. are second in the group with 7 points.
The winner of the match will more than likely be assured a place in the next round of quaifying, in the hexagonal round. The “hex” as it is commonly referred to is comprised of 6. Each team will play the other 5 teams both home and away, dates ranging from the 11th of November 2016 until the 10th of October 2017.
Enthusiasm for the match is particularly high amongst Trinidad and Tobago Nationals living in Florida and Georgia as they are eager for an opportunity to see their team return to the World Cup.
The Soca Warriors last played in the United States in the summer of 2015, where they advanced to the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup only to lose to Panama 6-5 on penalty kicks after 90 minutes of regulation play and 30 minutes of extra time.
The Gold Cup campaign included a 4-4 draw with a spectacular goal from corner kick in the 93rd minute after being down 3-1 to eventual Gold Cup Champion Mexico.
