International future of Jamaica's Whitmore in doubt

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica (AFP) - Theodore Whitmore, Jamaica's hero in the 1998 FIFA World Cup finals in France where he scored both goals in a 2-1 win over Japan, has hinted he is quitting international football.

Whitmore, who recently returned to Jamaica after being released from his English League team Tranmere Rovers, said "No international football" when asked about his return to the national team, although he refused to elaborate on the comment.

The midfielder who has scored more goals in a Jamaica shirt than any other player has not been selected for the national team since leading the Reggae Boyz in their unsuccessful bid for a place in the World Cup in Germany this summer.

Jamaica were knocked out in the semi-final stage of the CONCACAF play-off, failing to advance to the six team final round for the first time in three campaigns.

Whitmore, 34, failed to get regular playing time with Tranmere this season, getting just five appearances, all as a substitute and was released in January.
