(AMANDALA Sports Ed. Note: After years of disgrace and disappointment with our national teams, new head coach Leroy Sherrier Lewis, a former Costa Rican national team player, gave us something to be proud of when we qualified to the Concacaf Gold Cup in 2013. He assessed our strengths and weaknesses, and got the best out of our team, which is the mark of a great coach. Thank you again, Coach Leroy Sherrier Lewis, and Rest In Peace. Belize will forever be grateful.)
