Game Preview
After last Friday’s thumping 7-0 victory in Belize, Los Ticos now head home for the return leg in the CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification play-off tonight. By virtue of holding a seven-goal advantage, the tie is already all but a foregone conclusion. Nonetheless, head coach Miguel Herrera will be determined to put on a decent display on his home debut.

Belize Profile
Located on the northeastern coast of Central America, Belize borders Mexico to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and Guatemala to the west and south. The nation is relatively small, measuring 290 kilometers (180 miles) in length and 110 kilometers (68 miles) in width, making it easy to miss on the map. It is also the only Central American country whose official language isn’t Spanish but English.

Nicknamed The Jaguars due to the country being home to the largest jaguar population in Central America, Belize has been a proud member of CONCACAF and FIFA since 1986 (five years after they achieved independence from the United Kingdom).

With a population just shy of 400,000 (the smallest in the whole of Central America), The Jaguars were long viewed as one of the weaker teams in CONCACAF, with a record lowly placing of 201st in the FIFA rankings back in 2008. But things have markedly improved in recent years, with an impressive fourth-place finish in the 2013 Copa Centroamericana thanks to a surprise 2-1 victory over Nicaragua, widely considered the most significant result in the country’s footballing history.

Nowgoal Prediction: Belize to win.
