Jamaica will play Haiti in Miami on May 5th. The fight for regional hegemony is taking a more direct approach. That's a dangerous move for the Boyz as they finally agree to meet Haiti outside of Jamaica. A win will help them keep their status of giant in CFU, but a loss will simply send them deeper into despair and confirms Haiti's newly acquired status of serious contender in the GC.
This will be an interesting match, specially if both teams bring their full squads. (Jamaica2009, please bring your 'A' team and ask Boxhill to stay away. I don't want to hear your excuses ).
Tuisssant...Jamaica used a team void of any international stars to beat your full strength Haiti team 2-0 in the digicel cup games some time ago. So, it goes to say that at full strength, the boys will perhaps cut your throat agaian . But you never know what Bora might be on to...judging from teh squad he used in the last two games...he might be leaning towards using a mixture of local and foreign based players. If the game is being played on a FIFA date, expect to see at least 3 - 4 of teh guys from England...otherwise, expect a 100% local squad.
Losing to Haiti is not something I worry about...simply because it seems I cant recall Haiti ever beating Jamaica at senior level, in all the years I've been following Jamaica's football.
Miami? Hiati no longer play games in Haiti?
As I told you before Haiti won't do you any more favors. You guys are too ungrateful. We gave you a chance to remain in the tournament but you failed. And now you are using it against us. Let's put the events back in their context:
1- We beat St-Lucia 7 something. Eventhough you were at home, you could only beat them 4 something.
2- We beat SVG 4 something and virtually qualified for the next rounds. Eventhough you were at home, you lost 1-2 to SVG.
3- Going into the last games you needed to beat Haiti and hoped that SVG failed to beat St Lucia by a large margin.
4- Haiti, which was virtually qualified, let you win. Remember you scored two goals in the first half. But in the second half, Haiti just took the game away from you. Why?
because 2 goals were the most we could allow you to score without putting ourselves into danger. Since you have sportsmax, you certainly saw your yardo-brits coaliton running on the field like they were chasing goats. It was a completely different game in the second half.
You seem to take great pride into that 'victory'. Believe me: you should'nt.
You love to remind everyone that you once beat Haiti 3-0 in Kingston. Congrats. But, shouldn't there be a return leg in Port-au-Prince? Why did you play us in Miami (where you were outplayed for 90+min) instead of Port-au-Prince while the Cubans had no problems to play us in Haiti around the same time? Aren't you the Jamaican on this board who was complaining about Harbourview not given a chance to play home-and-away games against Connection? Why did you think that was unfair to the Jamaican club? Bro, what's not good for you, is certainly not good for the others.
In your short era of domination, you mostly played Haiti in Jamaica. The only time you meet us outside of Jamaica, you were so outplayed that even Jamaicans couldn't believe Jamaica escaped with a tie.
This time we will stop the rivalry for good. We won't settle for nothing less than what we gave Panama before the Canaleros almost beat you again in your own backyard. See you in Miami.
By the way, guess who will be in your group for the Men Olympic qualifying? Haiti and... S V G! (you are out of luck again).
