Now....WHO go be on either team is the question.  I'm not convinced this is an "official event" and seeing that the EPL starts on August 19 and the League Championship & SPL start earlier than that...I cyah see the clubs releasing our players for a fete match in Toronto.

It might be a total local squad or even some past players like Faustin etc thrown in the mix but I doubt many of the CURRENT Soca Warriors will be involved.  More likely a promoter's hype to get people to come out and nex ting yuh know is man who livin in Toronto and does take a sweat showin up fuh de game and people askin....which one is Stern John?

You never know tho.

CAN ANYONE CONFIRM IF WE HAVE ANY FRIENDLY GAMES SCHEDULED THIS MONTH OR NEXT MONTH AND IF SO WHO AGAINST , THANKS

[Jefferz]

Well... The until the Digicel Cup comes up we will have to sit here and wonder which side is better. Obviously this being  www.socawarriors.net... we are obviously going to be bias...


But try your best to lay down your points on which team is better at this point and why.

[dcs]

Steupse.

Why we even talking about them...they doing anything to get back in the limelight and we obliging

I would simply like to hear what people think... i dont care about the limelight... it eh no world popularity contest... (which we are by the way winning)

[dcs]

Where is Jamaica?
Dais my answer   

Nah serious...I was surprised nobody bring up anything about Jamaica when talking about the Soca Warriors with people on the outside.

Right now our side is better...use the England games as a benchmark...they were taken apart quite easily.

They also at a rebuilding stage.

precisely what i plan on doing.

[dcs]

Really and truly COSTA RICA is the team we should be focusing on.

Dem is trouble and if we making a push for automatic qualification is dem we have to get past.

JA on the same level as Honduras, Guatemala...beatable if we get our house in order.

Costa Rica lil more difficult and in WC qualifying they have gotten a lot of points off of us.

[PortValeChris]

I'm english so not biased.  I voted for the Soca Warriors (or if you are an ignorant english TV presenter or journalist- Soccer Warriors)  But as I've spent so long on this site it's almost my second home I think I'm getting a little biased.  We've even had the warmest summer for a long time.

well said... thats what i would really like... see us consistently beating them... giving them trouble in their own backyards... draws and wins... and really to see us consistently contesting the US and Mexico for the top group spot is what i think we all want.

people talk about jamaica "own us" for the past decade.. and Jamaica went to WC before us..

and now as we went to Germany it ehh no secret that the Yardies now gunning for us.. all this Caribbbean Unity ...out the door...this is not Cricket..

The question is.. What has Jamaica done in the recent memory.. they bombed out of the prelim in quailfiing and the lucky they didnt get 10 from England just the other day..

We are all Trinis on this site (well most of us are) and we will obiousily pick the warrriors. but put all b.s aside..pound 4 pound we are the better team TODAY.. its up to us to keep it that way...let dem yardies talk and hire big time coach

and as dcs say.. we should be studying about Costa Rica.. since it seems that the USA and Mexico are regulars (despite their perfromance in Germany)

I am pro Caribbean unity but when it comes to football I would feel insulted if Jamaica eva better Trinidad again. We need to groom our players understand the importance of that rivalry like the Barca - Real derby. We must make it a priority to beat them at all levels consistently. I ent have a problem with Jamaica, I won't cuss nobody country but anything like that. But I want the see the day we make them into whipping boys.

I m surprised that so many posters here reading so much into the recent results vs England and Australia. Fact is Jamaica never really had proper preperation for those games, last time Jamaica had any sort of half decent preperation for a game/tournament was the gold cup, where they got to the quarter finals.

Jamaica not making it to the Hex is just a matter of bad luck....imagine a situation where you went unbeaten on the road, but yet only able to muster up one point at home, where traditionally you have had your better results.

Trinidad was struggling to beat St. Kitts at one point, until teh master coach took over control. the rest is history.

I personally believe that Jamaica and T&T playing a friendly game any time soon would see victory for Reggae Boyz. There is something about playing T&T that make a Jamaica team go out and get the result.

I predict Jamaica, Mexico and the USA will qualify automtaically for Africa 2010. Costa Rica, T&T and Honduras will batlle it out for the other half spot (if it still remains after).

My opinion.

We eh care bout de past.  What have you done lately reggae fart?

Wake Up Reggae Fan.....Your dreaming 

I guess being Jamaican you have no choice, but to say what ur saying...so ah won't go to hard and u...But Seriously dude...WAKE UP!!!!

[Filho]

all this ole talk about who is better is shit. the question is, can we beat them. the only thing that matters is head to head. in football, results against a 3rd party means absolutely nothing. England may beat JA 6-0 and beat us 2-0 and it does not guarantee a damn thing or even mean that we are better. and when heated rivals meet..form means nothing. Barcelona could be bottom of the table and R Madrid could be top...when the superclassico reach, all bets are off. it is the same for JA and T&T. JA always does better against the US than we do...because they know how to match up against the US style of play better than us..but when they meet us..that doh men crap.

Right now..we theroretically should beat JA. BUT WE HAVE NO BRAGGING RIGHTS...last head to head..they cut our arse. In fact, the beating us like is a joke in recent years..at all levels. So cool all this shit bout we make WC and we eh get pile up by England. T&T has done nothing to prove they can beat Jamaica. Anything else is empty braying to make ourselves feel better. Until we actually go out and beat Jamaica, they better than us. All who vex with that..too bad. Cuz if we had the record over JA that they have over us..we would be laughing at any attempt to analyze on paper why they were better than us. Sure we better on paper..but football is played on a field. It real simple...whoever win the next match is the better side..and will remain so until the next match..everything else is ole talk

Ah respeck yuh opinion but dat "Caribbean Unity" thing is a myth.  De biggest challenge "Caribbean Unity" faces is Caribbean People.  In all honesty, "Caribbean Unity" is an even bigger oxymoron than "Military Intelligence"  As the purest example of that, I give you...."The West Indies cricket team".

Now don't get me wrong.  It make plenty sense IN THEORY, but the sooner people realize and accept that this "concept" will never work...politically, socially, economically...the better off ALL the people of the Caribbean will be. 

Jes my opinion.

[Jefferz]

Reggaefan yuh mudda woke yuh up everyday by slappin yuh in de face wit ah cookin pan awa?


how yuh so incredibly dottish... everything is an excuse... your opinion is about as steady as Courtney Love in a crack house.

You need to wake up and realize that all the indisiplin on the JA team is finally coming back to counter the team's talent... T&T at this time are way ahead of them... they need to get their shit together if they want to be able to even contest us in the future.

Can I get an Amen!! It is good to see someone on here talk sense when it comes to the two teams.  It is also surprising that so much weight can be put on a meaningless friendly, where we took three days to bring our team together and prepare for that match against England who was like T&T finetuning for the World Cup. I am sure that under similar circumstances as us, T&T would not have faired better. You cannot read anything into the England/Jamaica match, as you will certainly be misled. As the good man Filho said, wait until we meet on the field of play. Over the past decade Jamaica has beaten T&T more than T&T has beaten Jamaica.  Apart from the just concluded WC, Jamaica has consistently out performed T&T in every aspect of the game, both at the junior and senior levels. We have been ranked above T&T more times than T&T ranked above us by FIFA in the past ten years. I also think that you would have a slight edge if we were to meet now, only because of the long preparation you have had and under the guidance of a quality coach.  Dwight York's leadership and experience in the World Cup also helped a lot to stabilize the team and give it some direction. How much longer will York be around to play that role? It will be interesting to see when we have to meet again. . .
