I am amazed at the irony of a country using a white man, born and bred in England to qualify for the WC, can criticize another country for using the same - well, black players.
Yea, Dennis Lawrence white.. he goal took us to the world cup by de way....
And who was the coach for de 98 Reggae Toyz, a Puerto Rican born in Brazil. And dont talk about colour because a yellow coloured striker name Deon Burton was de best player you had.
Send more sheltox...
OK guys, keep the race thing out of football, please.
For the record, Jamaica and T&T in the same boat when it comes to use of foreign born players. Its just that Jamaica has a larger pool of overseas born talent to choose from. Not surprising really, when you look at the number of players with Jamaican lineage to habve played for the three lions. I had a classmate that was cousin to none other than the england legend Ian Wright. Our own John Barnes captained england.
Then our athletes have represented other countries as well. Linford Christie, Donovan Bailey to name a few.
It works both way for us...
Sorry RF, I doh go both ways....
And we not in de same boat. T&T did it with 99% local born and bread and raise players.
Further more if them 98 members could have made the England team I am sure you won't even have qualified.
Doesnt matter if you use 1 or 12...fact of the matter is that you used England born players....I can name at least 12 such players that have represented you over the years, From Ian cox, Ronny Mauge etc. If memory serves me correct, you have also used Brazilian born players.
Talk all the talk you want to talk....the legacy that Jamaica has is that Theo Whitmore bagged a Brace at the world cup finals to give us a win. Born and bred in the rural hills of Montego Bay Jamaica
Come to think of it, it would be interesting to know the number of CONCACAF teams to have played in the finals without securing a win.
I know El Salvador and Honduras have played in the finals...I dont believe they have ever won a game there
