In reply to camos

Boyz doing well..got to keep the ball out of their half for the rest of the game...if they can

Hang on Yard - two subs coming on

If the US lose this the rehired Berhalter will be fired

My MOM so far is Bernard

Blake is a boss keeper

4 minutes of stoppage time

Holy shite - the US equalize in the final minute
Extra time

Own goal to blow wow

Was just telling my posse that US would likely score from a corner..did not
kmnow it would be an own goal tho...tough

we always give up late goals!

And another - dis done

The coach is not good!

In reply to camos

Yup, mental errors abound and turnovers in dangerous spots...
This hurts even if not out best team. Was less than half a minute to glory and all downhill
fast. Hope they keep it at 1-3 or at least score another.

In reply to hubert

what a let down!

when the guy subbed Reid, I said to my wife big mistake, you want the experience on the field to kill time.

In reply to camos

Absolutely. Bad decision and he's playing with a reduced quality team to start with.
Oh well..hope lessons will be learnt.

In reply to camos

This coach make Tappa Whitmore look like Pep Guardiola

One thing I will say, Whisper doesn't miss on a one to one with any goalie!

That boy is a class act!

This coach like giving ballers 5 mins all when it's unnecessary!

From players' perspective, over more than a generation now is it psychological they can't beat US?

You doth speweth rubbish! Gerd and Paolo has missed one or two but your "god" doesn't miss. And why him? Why not Antonio, Nicholson or Gray both of whom has scored more for Jamaica than your "god"?

Idol worshipping is alive, come see it in the Back Room especially when it comes to Jamaican football, a particular academy and two particular players.

For the first 85 minutes of the game, the USA was outworked and outcoached, and then the coach did the unthinkable, he substituted Bobby Reid for Tavon Gray, who did more wrong than right in the time he was on.
COACH - if you are going to keep playing Cory Burke up high then you need to keep BDR on the field as that link to Burke or you are wasting Burke on the pitch, the USA can afford to lighten their midfield and bring more players forward.
For the first 85 minutes I finally saw (since the days of Schaefer) a Jamaican team outplay a top (USA/Mexico) CONCACAF team.

GRADES
Blake (8.5) - blameless for the goal and was his usual reliable self.
Lembikisa (8.5) - did a sterling job on Pulisic.
Bernard (8 - continues to cover well for Pinnock whenever he is inserted into the lineup.
Hector (7.5) - arguably his best game ever for Jamaica. A few miscues but he was solid.
Leigh (8.5) - I repeat, despite playing in a lower league, he is way better than Bell, especially offensively, and is one of CONCACAF's better left back.
Latibudierre (9) - he was a defensive marshall. His best game ever and co-man of the match for me.
D.Lowe (9) - spatial awareness in midfield was outstanding, it is just that when he gets to the spot you either cringe or close your eyes. My co-man of the match, he commands the respect of the opposition.
Decordova-Reid (8.5) - incredible work rate and threatening going forward.
Palmer (4.5) - can anyone confirm if Ravel Morrison is now with a club?
J. Lowe (6) - good work rate, helped in defense.
Cephas (5.5) - you have got to take your 1on1 opportunities. He has talent and should be retained in the squad even when the top players are back.
