00:00they are two of the younger players in the tnt squad with only eight cups between them but
00:05despite being new to the tnt setup defenders kobe henry and darren payne certainly felt
00:11thursday's disappointment sleeping after the game was a bit a bit rough i didn't uh
00:17you really sleep good just thought about the game but after that you just yeah just need
00:22to forget about it really and then uh yeah on to the next because you cannot dwell on that too long
00:27i think yeah i think it's a lot of disappointment you know just because i know our squad i know we're
00:33capable of and i know that we were the better team so you know i feel like it's just very
00:39disappointing not only for our team and how hard we've been working in this campaign and every
00:44campaign but also for the fans that come out uh you know we really want to give back to the supporters
00:49into the country so definitely just very disappointing but one of the benefits of being
00:54young is the ability to look forward i think initially we have to recognize what we have
01:00you know i think we have a very young squad um talented squad and we have a very bright future

01:13a lot coming forward in the future so i think it's just recognizing what we did good what we did bad in
01:19these couple of of games um and making the next steps to improve uh but also just being aware that
01:27we are a good team we do play good football and just how we could um fix up for the last couple
01:33steps and the future is actually tomorrow as tnt will close off their world cup campaign against

01:46important for us to go out and keep the fans with us you know and keep the country going so to go
01:51out and show pride on tuesday being in their early 20s the two foreign-born defenders can establish long
01:58international careers with the national team and both have no regrets in choosing to represent tnt
