Flex you early.

I saw JA play yesterday vs Costa Rica, like T&T they took looked scrappy. Goodison is a goat. Marshall played good, Gardener shouldn't be captain, Byce running without a clue but then again no one followed up for a pass, he not good enough to run the midfield, maybe they should bring back Kelly (?) King looked lost and got no service, he work hard but nothing like the player he is in England, Fuller is full of shit and Nelson (Joe Public) should have been on the field at half time. Wolfe should retire, he miss two good chances, no chemistry at all. Jason Morrison who plays for the same team as T&T's Matthew Bartholomew and Aarong Downing looked decent.

T&T vs Jamaica will definitely be a good clash.

Mexico and USA is definitely a cut above the rest in CONCACAF.

Good luck Soca Warriors.

Good to see you were taking note of the Jamaican players. did yuo see the T&T guadeloupe game? How would you compare the quality of Jamaica's opponents to the quality of Guadeloupe? I do agree with you that the Jamaica vs costa Rica game was a bit scrappy at times, and that the game wasnt smooth flowing....but it was not at all a very bad game. Costa Rica played their full deck of players....just coming off a 1-1 tie with Iran in Iran.

What about that bicycle kick by the Jamaican agaianst the post?  Nelson, yes, he could have bene given a longer run...However, I made very little impact on the game in time he was in the field...Might not get a look in for the Ja vs T&T game.

Well they met in the gold cup last year and costa rica won 1-0 in a very evenly matched and physical game....
Not much between them from that encounter.

with all due respect Trini, I think Costa Rica is way better than guadeloupe. Yes, guadeloupe had a good run in teh gold cup...but have they ever even won a caribbean title? Its really hard to judge their quality based on eone good showing at the gold cup.

[Trini]

RF -i think most of the costa ricans thought the same thing as you just before they met the french caribbeans in that game last year as well...

And chances are if Guadeloupe should play say a world cup qualifier in Costa Rica or Mexico city, they would get slaughtered. I do agree that they(guadeloupe) have some good players and thing....but I honestly dont think they can be looked at as a top CONCACAF team based on the fact that they reached far in the last Gold cup....I  still think caribbean teams such as Cuba, Haiti...are far better than them over the long run.

Guys dont underestimated Martinique or Quadeloupe. They have good palyers. Some play in the lower divisions, which are better than most primier division in the Caribbean.  Of course the best will play for France because they are a dept of France. But on the whole, the JA squad are playing better than TT because they resolved their bachannal early O'clock and started preparing for the WC. WC qualifying is not so much about pretty football. Just win baby, just win.

RF go away nah...Yuh always comin here talking alot of shit like JA is some type ah football power in Concacaf..JA failed in their last campaign to even qualify for Gold Cup...and  allyuh always be searching for black european players who have like 1% of jamaican blood to convince them to play on allyuh team...

I dont get your point Sando...Next time you write a post, take a minute to think about what you want to say in your post before you start typing. Yes, there are many many Jamaican players playing in Europe, some we send there, others are eligible for us by heritage. Do you think Chris Birchal is less/more Trini than yourself? Take a minute to think clearly before you respond...otherwise you might make a jack-ass out of yourself.

Bitch Ass my point is we dont go searching for players with Trini heritage to play for us..If a player (not trini born) desires to play for us then he will have to make the first move by making it public of his sentiments to rep T&T..Now JA is the opposite..when its becomes known that a player father's granfather's brother's cousin is jamaican then the JFF ah try everyway possble to convince the man to become another of many UB40s... Maybe I should have said it in patois cause I know yuh c**t still dont get it

I'm still not getting your point dude. Ashley Young indicated an interest in playing for Jamaica long before getting the call to play for england, but the JFF didnt call him. Jermain Pennant's Aunt was on the local sports call in show one tuesday afternoon pleading with the JFF to call her nephew to the under-20 squad...he wasnt called. Nyron Nosworthy recently declared his hand...stated that he wants to play for Jamaica....he still hasnt played yet.

Deon Burton paid his way to Jamaica to try out with the national team, ended up making the squad.

I think your issue is you are having a problem coming to grips with the sheer number of players in the UK eligible to play for Jamaica...not sure why that should surprise you seeing that the Union Jack was once the flag of Jamaica.

Having said all that, you do realise that only Marlon King and Cambell-Ryce were the only non-JAmaican born players on the pitch in the last game vs Costa Rica, right? both these guys have been  playing for Jamaica since 2003.

Now, you didnt answer my question regarding Chris Birchall. U care to give it a shot?

[Sando prince]

RF the TTFF didnt try to persuade Birchall to play for us...Birchall made his desire and availability to play for Trinidad before any contact with him and the TTFF..and what is it that make you think he is less or more Trini than me?
