The bus was rocked while we were coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the game against Guatemala, Dominica suffered a major defeat, with the final score standing at 6-0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Head Coach of the Dominica Senior Men\u2019s National Football Team, Ellington Sabin has expressed disappointment as it relates to the hostile treatment the team received in Guatemala when it faced the Guatemala team in the FIFA Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers&#8230;","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":324378,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[235,9,14,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-324377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-homepage-carousel","category-news","category-regional","category-sports"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
