Hear nah, who going and PAY for all them 'by-de-way' friendlies to check out the crumbs who cyah make the team anyway ? TTFF pocket done stretch already.
Allyuh know how much it does cost to hold a game ?...and it don't make no difference whether is a full strength team or A team or B team, is cost per player whether man shitty or not. That cost could run we a cool million dollars based on the TTFF audit statements from past games.
Arenas have real money at his disposal, plus most of the players living and playing right in the US, so is no biggy for them to come together. USA done play 'bout 4 games already. Who we going to bring to play for us, PFL rejects ? When the game come off the stadium empty because man only want to see Latas and Yorke. And what foreign teams willing to come to play try-outs...apart from the caribbean teams who rated around 120 in the rankings.
Jamaica certainly not coming....them getting big games for warm-ups.
Beenie and his cohorts probably still involved with orgainsing training facilities, gyms, dietary supplies, interviews, information services and scouting the oppositions games until May. The man say four weeks before the WC is plenty time for the team to gel, let we trust him on that.
Yuh see the difference a good professional league does make in yuh country. Players are homegrown...Gally had that in '89 (albeit without the pros), USA have most of their players from the MLS, Mexico as well. Hopefully our PFL will reach the standard where we could easily field a competitive team of mostly locals, then friendlies won't be so expensive.
Jayerson yuh sum it up good too bredda.
