Ryan Telfer urges Soca Warriors: Don't be afraid of Honduras

Former FC Edmonton forward wants Warriors to play their game in crucial World Cup qualifier

Telfer says Honduras is beatable despite their home advantage

Trinidad and Tobago forward Ryan Telfer has urged his Soca Warriors teammates not to be afraid of Honduras in their crucial World Cup qualifier on Tuesday. The two teams will meet in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, in a match that is likely to decide who will finish third in Group C and advance to the inter-confederation playoffs. Honduras is currently third in the group with seven points, one point ahead of Trinidad and Tobago. A win for Honduras would guarantee them a place in the playoffs, while a win for Trinidad and Tobago would give them a chance to finish third if they can also beat the United States in their final match. Telfer, who now plays for Forge FC in the Canadian Premier League, believes that Trinidad and Tobago can beat Honduras if they play their own game. "We have to go into the game with confidence and belief," Telfer said. "We know that Honduras is a good team, but we are a good team too. We have to play our game and not be afraid of them." Telfer said that Honduras will be a tough opponent, but he believes that Trinidad and Tobago can get a result if they are organized and disciplined. "Honduras is a physical team, but we are a technical team," Telfer said. "We have to use our strengths to our advantage. We have to be organized and disciplined, and we have to take our chances." Telfer also said that the Warriors need to be mentally strong in order to get a result in Honduras. "We have to be mentally tough," Telfer said. "We know that the atmosphere will be hostile, but we have to stay focused on our game plan. We have to believe in ourselves and we have to go out there and get the job done." Trinidad and Tobago have not qualified for the World Cup since 2006, but Telfer believes that this team has the potential to make it happen. "We have a good team," Telfer said. "We have a lot of talented players. We just have to believe in ourselves and go out there and play our game."
