and just to clarify, I'm Jamaican and love my reggaeboyz also.
Dread, you the same Warlord that does be on bigsoccer? How you sounding polite polite so man?
Anyhow, you been MIA a while now...We need some help over in the discussion of group B...England and Sweden acting like everything is a done deal
And back to the subject, I seriously don't see why we should be playing Jamaica. No disrespect to them, but in the World Cup we going to be up against teams we hardly or never ever play. Jamaica quality is not even relevant to the discussion.
Even if we could have flicking Mexico or the US as a friendly, I still don't think it'll do us that much good. We need to get into the habit of planning for a relatively unknown oppnent (of a certain strength of course) and getting everything right in the 90 minutes we have to pass the test. If we could play against teams that have England, Sweden and Paraguay style, even better (though I don't necessarily buy into this thing that neigbouring countries play similar styles; it is true sometimes, but not systematically).
The important is for the guys to believe that they could meet (and beat) teams that they could only dream about up to here, on a football pitch. They don't need to be getting tisik when they see Ibrahimovich or Rooney walk out on a field; they only men who have the experience to avoid that is Dwight, Latas, Shaka, and maybe Andrews. I just hoping this last one play both ah Rangers next Champions League matches and they beat Villareal for him to get some REAL big match experience. If they get Juventus in the next round, I hope he go be marking Ibrahimovich with a notepad and pencil in he back pocket.
For us, Jamaica is a team of mortals. Even if they does beat we a lot, they just like the USA, and dare I say Mexico, we don't fear them. You ever see Switzerland, Denmark or Belgium play France? The amount of times they meet them in competition and friendlies, they doh fraid them no more, not even if they accustom getting they tail cut. And when you doh fraid a team, that is when upsets does happen.
I rather play Australia now than the Reggae Boyz
