1-0 bermuda! ! At the half
Please advise final score somebody! Bermews!
unlucky gombey warriors!! well done u done urselves and ur country proud!! penalties is a hard way to lose
This is a massive result ..the combo of Bascombe – Smith and Roberts have had a huge impact on this talented group…the future looks promising…
Ermmmm not to take anything from the staff assigned to this engagement, but its long been held that up to u14 Bermuda should be competive in the region. It’s only now that there is a regional tournament where this belief can tested.
The real measure will be in two years time at the u17 level (and when the USA, Canada and Mexico join the party).
In the meantime, well done to all

After taking apart some of the lesser teams at the group stage, I wondered how they would do against one of the heavyweights in CONCACAF. That question was answered in a big way. Bascome and Co have done this country proud. Unfortunate to go out on penalties but this was our best result in a very long time. Well done to all of you. What is unfortunate however, is the pathetic/calculated lack of coverage from the other media. Thank-you Bernews-seriously, thank-you!
Proud of you guys. You did an awesome job getting that far!
Hold your heads high guys. You did well. Penalty kicks is indeed a hard way to lose.
Well Done Bermuda up and coming footballers you done Bermuda Proud. Look forward to more of you representing Bermuda in the future.
The very best of luck in the consolation final against El Salvador. This is a massive match and one that can help move Bermuda along in Central America and the Caribbean.
Well done Bermuda I’m truly proud of all my players!! One major observation coming from a coach when we scored the first goal why did we go away from how we were playing!! Why didn’t the coaches instruct the players to keep possession of the ball and to stop booting it up the field That’s how we let Guatemala back in the game. I am a coach and I will discuss this Andrew and Karl on their return
