“The job we have doesn’t allow us to be the Monday morning quarterback. [Trinidad & Tobago] played almost the same team that played against Mexico on Friday, so there’s no
difference. So that’s all a bunch of baloney. It has nothing to do with formations or not making changes. We didn’t get the job done. If we played the first half like we played the second
half, there is no question we win that game or at least get a point. There’s no finger-pointing or excuses; it’s all on us.”

second-guessed himself about using the same lineup that started in the 4-0 victory over Panama four days later in the 2-1 loss at Trinidad & Tobago.
