T&T’s biggest star is Stoke City striker Kenwyne Jones, and their hopes of advancing far in the tournament will likely hinge on his performances. Due to his team’s depth at striker and lack of creativity, he’s played a bit more of a facilitator role than usual in recent years for his national team, but he’ll be expected to be the team’s primary scoring threat in this tournament. They’ll be boosted by the addition of Middlesborough defender Justin Hoyte, who joined up with the team in 2013.
El Salvador are strong up the middle and central midfielder Osael Romero is their most experienced player. Their most dangerous attacking threat is Rodolfo Zelaya.
Match date/time: Monday, 7 p.m. ET
Venue: Red Bull Arena, Harrison, New Jersey
