Deeks what Jack to do with our locals being unfit and the jamaican locals being fit ? The players Mats pick and latas picking have to take responsibility also .
not really..it's our team's performances that creates the interest...firstly..we have been abysmal playing teams..
when we qualified for the world ..we go friendly..we LOST all save two..against Peru and against Iceland..hardly a huge name internationally but our performances thereafter were woeful...with A FULL strength team..
We went to the WC... had a creditable performance and teams wanted to play us...We got invited to play Japan and Austria.. we lost to japan and then sent a decent team to Austria and got pummeled 4-1...the game was over at half time..we lost our buzz..ppl din see as good opposition...
Wim put together a good run with the blacklist team ( which also kill we momentum)..and we start to get a lil vibes lead up to the gold cup..we play arite...buh get knock out...wim get fired...team in limbo
no teams wanna play a team in a fiasco...
then came mats...
mats start over..we play lowly friendlies then gradually increase the quality of opposition over time..guadeloupe...guyana...el salvador..jamaica..we got a good string of results...we got invited to a asia challenge tournament and turned it down...
WCQ start..we lose to bermuda at home..then scrape thru away..we eh looking too good buh we still was playing lil games and getting results..we get more friendlies.. el salvador..haiti...we had a decent showing in the semis barring the US in the US fiasco...
then we lost to grenada..crash out the digi..and we start to get blank...
the rest is history...
