Head coach John Barnes says the Reggae Boyz are focused on producing good results at next year's Gold Cup in America starting in July.
"Between January and July, we have 4, 5 matches that we have to organize in preparation for the Gold Cup which I would to be against the strongest opposition as possible," he said.
Jamaica are now ranked 83rd in the world which makes it a bit difficult to attract top class oppositions but according to Barnes, Scotland, who are ranked 50 places above the Reggae Boyz, is among the countries they would want to play.

Despite DigiCup win... Boyz were sloppy[b]

Head coach of Jamaica's Reggae Boyz, John Barnes, said although his team was barely tested throughout the recently-concluded Digicel Caribbean Championship, they were guilty of "sloppiness and sloppy passing".
"Overall we dominated the matches... but sloppiness and sloppy passing at the back gave us problems... I didn't think we necessarily had lapses in defence, there were lapses in terms of the way we passed the ball," he said.
Barnes, who took over the reins of the team on November 1 after the Boyz's failed World Cup qualifying campaign, led the team to their fourth regional championship when they defeated Grenada 2-0 inside the National Stadium on Sunday night courtesy of two Luton Shelton penalties in 16th and 71st minutes.
The former Liverpool and England winger said now the focus is to get the players mentally ready for the next major assignment, the CONCACAF Gold Cup, next summer.
"Our concentration that is what we need to improve on... as your concentration is paramount when it comes to situations where you are tired," Barnes said.
"We will keep after them (players) about their concentration and sloppiness... I know that we can get better," he told journalists at Sunday night's post-match press conference.
Barnes, who was winning his first title as a coach, said it was important to note that the 12-day tournament was not easy on the players, having to play five rigorous matches.
"The team didn't change much so it's hard to ask the players to keep sharp and alert all the time... so if you want to be picky you can say that things can improve, but it has been a long, hard tournament and overall I cannot fault the players whatsoever," he said.
Barnes, along with JFF president Captain Horace Burrell, confirmed at the press session that a number of "quality oppositions" friendly internationals are being organised to give the team the best possible preparation going into the Gold Cup.
"At the moment there are three definite FIFA friendly dates where we will be getting together to face a few oppositions. We have no matches organised yet, but we have those dates, so it's just a question of getting quality opposition to help us prepare for the Gold Cup," Barnes noted.
"The problem we may have is that the March and April dates are also World Cup qualifying dates, so a lot of the European, CONCACAF and African teams will be involved in World Cup qualifying, so as to the quality teams we can get for those dates, we will just have to wait and see," he said.
"But we have four or five matches before then (Gold Cup) and all I will be stressing to the players is that their concentration must be up at all times in our training and preparation," he added.
Though delighted with the team's triumph, the Jamaica-born Barnes said there is no room for relaxation.
"I'm very happy, but I have been in football long enough to know that you are only one game away from doom and gloom. Yes we won the Digicel Championship and we managed most of the games, but we have other matches to look forward to," he ended.

Come 2009 those dates won't be a problem for Jamaica to play top opponents because tomorrow when you wake up where do you think Jamaica's ranking will be on the FIFA table. Down, the same or up?

It must really hurt that with all the star power and great strikers (Jason cah make allyuh team mind u)
The amount of talent Jamaica has that poor ole lowly ranked 77th in the world T&T still in the running to make the world cup eh?
It really must irk u with your typical sense of superiority to us "small islanders" that, you know we might be better. So go ahead take the ranking for now I rather still have a chance to qualify to the world cup any day. I doh need a set of Europeans in Zurich to tell me that we better than allyuh. U and the rest of your Euro centric comrades do. So if this makes you happy :beermug: just know that we have 10 qualifiers to play next year y'all have a 3 and out at the Gold Cup. Don't let the door hit yuh in the azz on the way out.

Honestly! No, it doesn't irk me.
Here's the reason: I told many Trinis on this forum that when Clueless Creston Bungling Boxhill left the JFF and Jamaica's Reggae Boyz dangling at #105 in the FIFA rankings that there was nowhere else to fall but to climb back up. Many Trinis laughed and scorned Jamaica's Reggae Boyz saying that we were not good enough to play. This was true. An opportunity that T&T did not pounce on to humiliate us even further. Your mistake.
Furthermore, when CONCACAF bosses use outdated FIFA rankings (May 2008 instead of November 2008 like[/color] every other FIFA confederation used for the WCQ draw) for top Caribbean nations (T&T, Cuba and Haiti) advance to easy semi-final groups then you should not be surprise when they offer no real challenge to the top Central & North American nations. So T&T in the HEX I don't see them offering any real challenge to any nation in the HEX. T&T will just end up humiliating the Caribbean.
However, Jamaica's Reggae Boyz ends 2008 on a high. FIFA ranked #65 and DigiCup CARIBBEAN KINGS and 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup CONTENDERS. These facts are 100% certain true and accurate. ;D ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8) :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :wavetowel: :wavetowel: :wavetowel: :wavetowel: :wavetowel: :wavetowel: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: The same cannot be said of T&T being 2010 World Cup contenders.

U have to be delusional or insane. If you're trying to talk yourself into believing the trip u just write der.... good luck.
We have already done the Caribbean proud simply by qualifying to the hex. I see no Cuba here, no Haiti and no Jamaica but instead of support all u have for us is hate. So sad.

While Im bitterly disappointed that TT didn't make the Gold Cup, and shouldve made the Gold Cup - there's is still some consolation that can be taken from this.
How many bigger teams will field full strength squads will be interesting.
The US will likely play their B-squad .... and the invited (outside of Concacaf) teams have usually sent their U-23s to the tournament, so in terms of playing against top-notch competition, we can leverage to play friendlies against other nations during that time.
I also surmise that we will attract considerable interest from South American NTs willing to get a taste of what teams in Concacaf they can potentially come against in the 4th place play-off for the WC.

WTF!Barnes nah baddah target Hingland? ;D ;D ;D

FYI, CONCACAF no longer invite teams from other federations to take part in the Gold Cup. And I cant ever recall a CONCACAF nation not taking theGold cup seriously. Outside of the World Cup finals, this is CONCACAF's biggest showpiece event.

Our last world cup qualifier in T&T ended in victory for Ja no? Who jhave you guys beaten away in the last round of qualifying games? oh right. Cuba. Perhaps the easiest place to play in CONCACAF.

When was your last WCQ in TT? ... 1992?
Guatemala would disagree that Cuba is the easiest place to play in Concacaf.
TT didn't win any games on the road, but we're in the Hex - so we took care of business at home, and got points on the road when we had to.
TT has games home-away to rely on for the Hex ... J'ca doesn't have that luxury in the GC.

Here's the reason: I told many Trinis on this forum that when Clueless Creston Bungling Boxhill left the JFF and Jamaica's Reggae Boyz dangling at #105 in the FIFA rankings that there was nowhere else to fall but to climb back up. Many Trinis laughed and scorned Jamaica's Reggae Boyz saying that we were not good enough to play. This was true. An opportunity that T&T did not pounce on to humiliate us even further. Your mistake.
Furthermore, when CONCACAF bosses use outdated FIFA rankings (May 2008 instead of November 2008 like[/color] every other FIFA confederation used for the WCQ draw) for top Caribbean nations (T&T, Cuba and Haiti) advance to easy semi-final groups then you should not be surprise when they offer no real challenge to the top Central & North American nations. So T&T in the HEX I don't see them offering any real challenge to any nation in the HEX. T&T will just end up humiliating the Caribbean.
However, Jamaica's Reggae Boyz ends 2008 on a high. FIFA ranked #65 and DigiCup CARIBBEAN KINGS and 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup CONTENDERS.

As much as I am aware that rivalry is good even among family (Caribbean brethren)...I think some guys here have been taking this thing a bit too far. Our Trini-Jamican rivalry should not be an unhealthy one such as it is becoming, we all have too much in common.
As a Trini, I am not happy with our performance in the Digicel Cup but I commend Jamaica for winning it and I am glad that they are turning things around (after all, last time around it was St Vincent who knocked them out of contention). So let me whole heartedly say, Congratulations to the Reggae Boys on a great victory.
On the other hand I am proud that T&T are still alive and fighting for a spot in South Africa 2010 and I am certain that many Jamaican and other Caribbean fans will support us in the journey even if some Jamaicans on this forum don't....(truly a pity)
To my knowledge, a little verbal jabbing is all an well but sometimes the tone of these jabs seem to be deeper and leaves one to wonder if their might even conceal some hatred. It is a shame if this is so because I happen to know that many of the actual players on both teams are friends when they are not battling on the field and they would never take their on the field rivalry to such low, callous, and bitter levels...
Just a thought...from a Trini fan, a West Indian, and supporter of anyone and anything possitive for the West Indies.

Irregardless of ranking, it doesn't automatically mean that foreign clubs will come down to swoop up your players.
You said,
.... Moving past the 70 in the FIFA ranking will now ensure that more of Jamaica's local Reggae Boyz get overseas contracts ....
The US and Mexico have a higher ranking and better skilled players - yet that does not translate automatically into foreign/ English clubs sweeping up their players due to their country's ranking.

acb, Jamaica currently has 2 players who were denied work permit due to Jamaica's low ranking. They are Rudy Austin who was all but signed with stoke City, as well as Goal Keeper Donovan Ricketts whose move to Crystal Palace was put on hold for the same reason. Austin went on to sign with a Norwegian side, but word is that Stoke will be making another move for him when the Transfer window re-opens in January. The only thing that chnaged between the last attempt and now is that Jamaica has moved a total of 55 places up the ranking charts in the past 4 months. The requirement is for an average 70 ranking in the past 2 years...but Jamaica has sent a number of players to the UK in the past 2 years, even though our average ranking is above 70. Demar Philips, also on the books at Stoke city, got in without even satsifying the 75% appearance requirement for his country in past 2 years.

And your argument has already been proven moot and pointless. Already there are more than 2 dozen of Jamaica's local Reggae Boyz contracted with overseas clubs and doing well and 19 year old Reggae Boy Eric Vernan MVP of the DigiCup has coaches eyes on him already. So what makes you think contracts for Jamaica's local Reggae Boyz will stop when even Jamaica's international Reggae Boyz are telling coaches about local Reggae Boyz e.g. Stoke's Ricardo Fuller recommending Demar Phillips.
Now Jamaica is not T&T. Jamaica is not USA. Jamaica is not Mexico and there are a lot of nations that have better skilled players than Jamaica, USA, Mexico and even moreso than T&T. Now why do you think coaches from clubs around the world ignore the countries you chose to mention and they do the same with Jamaica and T&T etc. Now why is that? ???
