Trinidad and Tobago
After opening the tournament with a 2-0 defeat to Panama, Trinidad and Tobago fell to the US, 6-0 on Saturday night in Cleveland. It was Trinidad's seventh consecutive match failed to score in defeat, even though they had a better game in the opening 30 minutes. It was rather unfortunate to enter the second half with a goal when Aaron Long scored his first international goal, the Soca Warriors conceded five goals in the last 24 minutes, which did not match head coach Dennis Lawrence.
"How can a team be so good during the first 65 minutes, and it's been terrible for the last 25 minutes," Lawrence said. "After a match like tonight, you will see changes to the next match."
Guyana
It was the second historic Gold Cup match for Guyana debutants despite being knocked out in a 4-2 defeat to Panama on Saturday night in Cleveland.
Neil Danns scored the first Jaguar Gold Cup goal, a penalty which equalized in the 33rd minute after Abdiel Arroyo put Panama ahead after 16 minutes. Following an own goal against Terence Vancooten in the 40th minute, Los Canaleros scored two more goals, Eric Davis's penalty in the 51st minute followed by Gabriel Torres's kick four minutes from full time. Danns closed the score at night with his second goal from the penalty spot in the second half ending.
"I can tell you that our team will change dramatically for our last match," said Guyana coach Michael Johnson. "So there are still a number of opportunities to come, and that is what tournaments like this bring, opportunities for players to really put themselves on the global map."

Match Trinidad & Tobago vs Guyana
Trinidad & Tobago was challenged in the attacking department for failing to score in eight of their last nine matches in all competitions. That makes me skeptical about betting on Soca Warriors here.
Guyana has strength in midfield with Sam Cox, Brandon Beresford and Neil Danns. Wingers Callum Harriott and Terell Ondaan also have the ability to cause problems with Trinidad & Tobago.
