But with a win in the Dominican Republic, are the Belize Jaguars ready to defend its turf and what are their predictions for the game?
Deon McCauley, Striker, Belize Jaguars
“The hard work that this team put in and the hard work that I put in, I mean with that alone, I know that this team will do good on Sunday. You just have to wait and see on Sunday and come out and see the game; that’s all I have to say. Come out and see the game and see our team perform and see our team win.”
Danny Jimenez
Danny Jimenez, Right Wing Forward, Belize Jaguars
“Well I will be honest. Not because we are up two-one we will get complacent and think the game done. It noh done yet cause we got a game Sunday and honestly I think the pitch we played on played a big factor for both teams because the DR team got some quality players too weh could touch the ball, but on the pitch we played, nobody who could touch wah ball can’t put ten touch together cause the field was…some field ina Belize weh we play semi-pro far better than dah field deh.”
Duane Moody
“Your anticipations for Sunday?”

Ian Gaynair, Forward, Belize Jaguars
“Don’t want to predict the game. When yo predict the game, sometimes yo make it harder on yourself. But I can assure the country that we definitely have an entertaining game for them, so I would like for everyone to come out and support us.”
Duane Moody
“They always say yo have the home advantage. So you think that will play in your favor?”
Ian Gaynair
“Fi we backyard we wah play, feel even much better than the one we play in Dominican Republic.”

“No prediction; I just hope that the team would come out with the same attitude, the same mindset that we came out with yesterday and get the job done. Again there is no way that we can take this team for granted. They have real experienced players. The number three plays in I think Spain, the number ten that scored the goal plays in Italy, and they started with four foreign players; two were on the bench. And I believe imagine the next two foreign players will be inserted on Sunday. So this is no playing. As players, we need to get serious.”

Charlie Slusher, Assistant Coach, Belize Jaguars
“We can expect a better game—football-wise, technical-wise and we are at home so we really want to…although we got a pretty win, it doesn’t matter. We still want to make the Belizean people know that this team can play football. So we want to win this game Sunday by playing football. We cannot be foolish and just want to impress our country and think about scoring a lot of goals and forget that we cannot allow them to score one or two, so we still have to remain very cautious in the way we will attack these guys.”
