And it's unto the next one for team Belize - and that means Turks and Caicos.
This afternoon, the FFB and CONCACAF organized a press conference between the Belize media and the T&C national team.
On Saturday, they also lost their first match of the World Cup Qualifiers against Nicaragua with an embarrassing final score of 7 goals to zero.
We got an opportunity to briefly discuss tomorrow's match against Belize with the head coach and the captain of the Turks and Caicos Islands team. Here's what they had to say about the importance of tomorrow's win for both sides:
Omar Edwards - Head Coach, Turks and Caicos Team
"We have a game against Belize tomorrow. Unfortunately, both teams lost their first game. So, both teams are going to go for maximum points, so to speak. We understand that Belize is a very good football team. They're very organized, and we're going to prepare ourselves as best as possible. Both have teams have conceded goals. Both teams failed to score in their first game. It's an indication that we need to improve as we go forward, especially for the Turks and Caicos Islands National Team. Belize is a very good team, and we're anticipating a tough game against them tomorrow."
"We're in an unprecedented time, a very challenging time, which forced us not to prepare the way we would have wanted to prepare. Back home in the Turks and Caicos Islands, we had to stop training due to the restrictions on COVID. Very unfortunate for us, 3 of our starting players are unavailable of the restrictions placed on traveling to and from the country. Nonetheless, I believe that the players that we have here are giving it their very best, and I definitely appreciate the effort and the commitment from that."
