Warner: Region can stand proud

Special mention of course was made of Trinidad and Tobago’s fighting performance which continues to get favourable reviews. The Mexicans also distinguished themselves in Germany especially in their narrow loss to Argentina.

“CONCACAF still has a lot to be thankful for especially over the fact of how TT performed and this is still the talking point here in Germany and all over the world.

“It is on the basis of that that several offers have been made by countries for matches against TT — all of which are being considered now,” Warner said.

“While it is true that we in CONCACAF are disappointed in the performances of the USA and Costa Rica, Mexico still made us proud in proceeding to the next round and playing valiantly against Argentina.

“So, in a word, CONCACAF’s stocks are still very high,” he added. Warner made the comments at a special function last week in Berlin when the German Chancellor Angela Merkel hosted a farewell function for football officials and volunteers who assisted in the World Cup.
