Giving up 3 goals every game will sooner or later catch up with you.  Case in point....Newcastle under Keegan was real exciting but dey paid dearly fuh dey "Matador" defence in de end.  Yuh need BALANCE breddrin.

[AB.Trini]

Yeah dat go be they nemisis but fuh now dem yardies matching up wih all dem  teams. I mean look dey have four pts. Boy we have tuh match dem with results. If not ah go take  blows from dem men out here. Oh  gad  look yellow cross all over meh de place. Now ah have tuh paint it over with meh black stripe and red paint.

Our players today should have finished off South Africa, after dominating the entire game. Still, in my mind the defence needs alot of work, and i beleieve with time this area will improve. Also good to see my bretherine Jermaine Hue hit a beutiful long range bullet today. I feel South Africa will maul Guatemala in teh next game...and with teh state our defence is in..we could be in for a long day against the Mexicans. Keeping my fingers crossed. 7 goals in 2 games is definately no mean feat..but at the same time conceding 6 is unforgiving.

I agree with you Palos..that defence is very leaky. That was the difference between us beating South africa today.  Guatemala, a team smack in the middle of World Cup wualifying has already conceded 8, and no doubt will concede again vs South africa...How they find themselves occupying third spot in the Hex is beyon me.

Until such time as we have to play Jamaica, we eh have to match dem at all.  Ah know it easy to get caught up in de chat game but de reality is we have to play Panama and Colombia.  Daz all we should be studyin right now.

It still relatively early in de Hex.  Fact is points on the board is points on the board so yuh cyah discount that.  If they are third it's because they have EARNED IT.  This Gold Cup is a totlally different competition.  Yes, I'm sure Guatemala must be extremely disappointed in their performance thus far but at the end of the day, were WC qualifying were to finish today, they would be going to Germany.  That's the facts.  I'm sure they would rather perform like this here rather than in WC Qualifying.

That was an excellent match.  JA did not dominate. Nonetheless JA is playing very exciting football.  After looking at both games, it is easy to say that ---right now ---  JA is the best Caribbean team.

[AB.Trini]

I eh know about the best but they have the best results. So if we judging by results then that criteria gives them that distinction but.......... leh we see when the night ends where we will be.

[aliegordon123]

IT IS  still a long road for jamaica.. becuz if s.a beats gautemala and mexico beats jamaica then they are out

[AB.Trini]

Aligordon; Jamacia could make it in as one of the best two third place teams. They have about 7 goals for.

Jamaica dominated the game in terms of chances created....from beginning to end. According to what Isw on TV.
