“In the Nicaragua game we know we’re going to have big support and that’s going to push us to play even better,” football Jonte Smith told Bernews. “We may not be able to progress from the group, but that doesn’t mean we’re not taking the next game seriously. We’re going to give it our all.”
Goalkeeper Dale Eve, who has impressed many with his strong performances in the first two games, told Bernews they will be looking for a clean sheet tonight, saying “we don’t want any more goals in our net.”
