Mexico vs. Trinidad and Tobago: Soca Warriors hoping to build on Gold Cup display

Goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams has called on Trinidad and Tobago to use its Gold Cup form as a springboard for World Cup qualification.

Trinidad and Tobago will look to expand on its promising CONCACAF Gold Cup form when its takes on Mexico in a friendly on Friday.

Stephen Hart's Trinidad and Tobago topped Group C at the continental championships in July before losing its quarterfinal on penalties to Panama, but the Caribbean nation impressed many on their way to the knockout stages, drawing 4-4 with eventual champion Mexico along the way.

Having failed to qualify for the 2009 and 2011 Gold Cups and with just a single knockout appearance at CONCACAF's premier event since 2000, the 2015 tournament was a big step for Trinidad and Tobago and goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams has urged his teammates to build on that in Utah.
