Shakir says it will be humbling for Trinidad when Bermuda beats themBermuda skipper Omar Shakir is preparing for an onslaught from the Soca Warriors as his team attempts to make Trinidad pay for the disrespect they showed after Sunday's shock victory.
Shakir and his central defensive partner Kofi Dill go back into the trenches this weekend braced to withstand the full force of Trinidad's attacking power.
And they will take to the field on Sunday night with the taunts of the Trini press - who could not quite believe they had been beaten in the first leg on Sunday - ringing in their ears.
"They have put extra pressure on themselves by not giving us any respect before the first leg and then not giving us any credit afterwards," said Shakir.
"They expected to sweep us aside. I believe they did underestimate us, but they won't make the same mistake again, so we are in for a much more difficult game.
"It would be very humbling for them to be beaten by lowly Bermuda given what they think about us at this point. They won't want to go back to Trinidad with their tails between their legs."

An announcement is expected this morning on whether FIFA - the world governing body for the sport - has granted a request from the Bermuda Football Association to accommodate a further 750 fans.
The official capacity of the stadium is 4,380. But Bermuda's 2-1 victory in the first leg created such a sense of anticipation that all those seats were gone before 5pm on Wednesday....
