Berhalter: USMNT must have patience against T&T

CLEVELAND -- U.S. men's national team manager Gregg Berhalter stressed that his team needs to be patient in order to defeat Trinidad & Tobago in its Gold Cup group stage match on Saturday.

T&T has historically been a team that sat back and used their speed to hit teams on the break, but manager Dennis Lawrence and midfielder Kevan George both spoke during their press conference about possessing the ball better than they did against Panama, with George even going so far as to say T&T was a "possession-based team."

But Berhalter is anticipating that the Soca Warriors will play to their traditional strengths.
