Chicago Fire defenders Joevin Jones and Daneil Cyrus are ready to represent Trinidad and Tobago in a 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying match vs. the United States Tuesday evening. The contest kicks off at 5:30 p.m. CT at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. 


The match will be televised in the U.S. on beIN SPORTS and NBC Universo, and fans in Chicago are invited to catch the game at one of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club's Premier or Supporter pub partners.


Both sides are coming off victories in their inaugural 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying contests, with the U.S. defeating St. Vincent and the Grenadines, 6-1, Friday in St. Louis. For Trinidad and Tobago, Jones and Cyrus each played the full 90 minutes as the Soca Warriors earned a key three points with a 2-1 road victory over Guatemala. 


Following Tuesday, the Road to Russia goes on hiatus until World Cup Qualifying resumes in CONCACAF on March 25, 2016, with the U.S. slated to next face Guatemala and Trinidad and Tobago away to St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
