"Panama and Mexico, they are the toughest teams in this tournament. So they’ll be tough but we gotta go out there and play hard. Being a pretty small team, we gotta go out there and really scrap and really be aggressive and just leave it all on the floor,” said Palacio.
Belize is in Group B along with Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama.
