nuff Jamaican playing in Norway....shocker
WHATTTT? Only 2 locals...how come they doing so good ? Even USA playing with what, maybe 5 locals ? I guess them coaches busy picking the best team, no matter where yuh from or playing.
The Jamaica squad published below is incorrect. Tyrone Marshall and Ian Goodison were released prior to the Gold Cup. Kavin Bryan (Vietnam) got injured just before the start of the tournament and was also released.
Also, both Eric Vernan and Adrian Reid are based in Jamaica, and not Norway as suggested (although both played in Norway a couple seasons ago). The locals guys who do manage to get into the squad almost always end up getting drafted by clubs in scandinavia or MLS after coming into the team. Jermain Taylor, Jevaugn Watson, Dicoy williams, Damian Williams, Dwayne Miller Dwayne Kerr, Lovell Palmer etc were local based up to a year ago.... these guys all made the move to MLS and Sacndinavia in the past 1-2 years as a result of their time in the national team.
Still MLs players like OBrien White (Seatle), Khari Stephenson (San Jose), Omar Cummings (Colorado), Lovell Palmer (Houston) were not considered for the Gold Cup...and also none of the guys from England were invited.
