Seabra was refused TT citizenship on application,the explanation was that thousands of others would want to do the same.I am sure though that Jamaica would have given him a useless Jam PASSPORT.Haven't Jamaica just given a Nicaraguan footballer a Passport.Jamaica would constantly look for Brits because they cannot produce footballers,yes we have Birchill but he showed interest in playing for us.Its different with Jamaica,they actively go out looking for Brits or any other foreigners they can find..I am amazed that you have so much pride about Brits playing for you.TT was cheated out of the 1974 WC,we then almost made it in 90 and eventually made it in 2006,all that with one Brit.Continue to play catch up,everytime allyuh reach within striking distance we go pull away from yuh.
Anyway you Trinis cut it. Seabra played for the T&T national team, but since he failed miserably on the football field T&T dropped him all together.
#2 Really! Jamaica went looking for Jamaican-parentage British players and not the players sending their resumes or asking the local-based Reggae Boyz to put in a word for them to the JFF.
#3 The Nicaraguan got the passport to play for a Jamaican club, he was not naturalised as a Jamaican citizen like Seabra was for T&T.
#4 You talking to the wrong nation about the 1974 World Cup qualifiers. Complain to the Haitians. And almost qualifying doesn't cut it.
#5 Jamaica does not need to play catch-up since T&T has not improved even with Jamaica being in the football wilderness. T&T were well below par to rise above Jamaica in the 2006 World Cup, the , 2007 Digicel Cup, the 2007 Gold Cup and the U-17 World Cup where your U-17 team conceded more goals in their first two matches than Jamaica's Young Boyz.
