Does anybody remember Trinidad beating Argentina in the Pan Am Games in 1967?
I think we won a medal and Alvin Corneal was one of the players.

Football / No Eastern promise for de Boyz

« on: June 24, 2007, 01:01:07 PM »

Jamaica's football seems to have regressed since 1998,to have lost against teams like Indonesia and now Vietnam is shocking to say the least.Even if they were without their regulars they should not have lost against teams who are more noted for Badminton and Squash than football.For too long they have depended on the Brits which have kept back the development of their local players.This tour that they have undertaken was a stupid idea and was on a hiding to nothing,they can learn nothing from such teams,unlike our TT reserves that recently took part in the Gold Cup,we seemed to have got better with each game.I have listened to quite a lot of Jamaicans talk about the Reggaeboyz which would lead anyone to believe that they are the best in CONCACAF,I honestly believe they have serious problems and it all stemmed from the use of too many outsiders(BRITS).
They have stunk out the place and even given the Caribbean a bad name,they can save face by beating Malayasia and maybe drawing with Iran but that looks unlikely.Not even Bora can save them from further embarrassment.We should now get some Peace and quiet from the biggest under-achievers in the Caribbean.They should now cancel that tour and go back to Jamaica and lick their wounds and mend their broken egos.
