Once every 4 WC cycles - thats when we come good. History shows that. Every half a generation, we produce a top CONCACAF team.
1974, 1990, 2006..
We are not due yet. All this hullaballo now is just the foundations for the 2022 World Cup.
Lessons will be learnt now that will serve that team in good stead.
The reality is that we are not that good at the moment.
Our 2016 record is abysmal, its a wonder we still ranked so high. We must have only won 2 games (vs St Vincent) in a year.
The sad truth is that the only reason we in the HEX is because we got a result in Guatemala in the semi final round.
The bigger picture is failure to qualify for the Copa Centenario after multiple tries.
Failure to qualify for the Gold Cup after multiple tries.
Inability to keep clean sheets.
Inability to have discipline in our programme.
We now are in the same boat as the Windies cricket team and the WICB.
The only hope we have is that our natural inconsistency kicks in - we have been on a serious losing record for 18 months, we are due to get some results now. Maybe we can go on a run like in 2014/15 and get some better results...
