No doubt, no doubt. Just need to make sure it doh travel too far past 7 nil to dampen the spirits too much, and then hope for the best against Panama.

Jamaica coach has no sense - USA have 3 defenders in their half all the time - Jamaica have no forward keeping the US defense honest - All JA players are on defense all the time -- what happens if the US defense makes a mistake - there is nobody there to take advantage

you are so right - but he has been the coach for a good while now - as usual some of these jobs is based on who U know - this guy is useless - and that tall #4 they brought in at half time - wow - she is as useless as tits on a bull big grin

It's less than 7, which is more than one could ask for. How's TnT doing by the way? Already qualified?

 
hubert 2018-10-15 06:57:34 

In reply to JahJah

I only watched the 1st half. Was expecting about 15-0 so I guess there was great improvement in the 2bd half.
If the girls got this far, I would hate to see the teams they overcame to reach this far
sad sad sad

 
JahJah 2018-10-15 08:18:41 

In reply to hubert

I think there are only two good teams in CONCACAF. Canada and USA.

The rest are experts in the art of licks.

 
JoeGrine 2018-10-15 10:15:51 

6 - 0 from USA (world ranked #1) is not a bad result for Jamaica (ranked #64). I kept wishing the coach would substitute out Jody Brown who at age 16 had nothing more to gain in a game beyond Jamaica's reach and with a more important match coming up on Wednesday. Alas, she was pushed to the ground, damaged her shoulder and left the game with 10 minutes to go.


Wednesday's opposition, Panama, basically (or was it smartly) conceded to Canada before kick-off when they sat out 6 of their starters. it will be an interesting battle for that 3rd place honor which brings with it automatic qualification to the World Cup.

That's pretty much it when it comes to the women's game. And even among the 'rest of us' there are huge disparities.

camos 2018-10-17 21:26:16 

big step! there are a few girls in the US who have Yard connections, this may motivate them to look at the program.

I think a lot of them already on the team. Do you mean the higher level ones?

Jamstar 2018-10-17 22:48:47 

So after all the Jamaica dissing we became the first caribbean team to qualify for a woman's world cup.

 
JahJah 2018-10-17 22:56:55 

In reply to Jamstar

Yup. Reacting out of anger coz dem did get a lashing with no reward while Jamaica was going to get lash by the same team, but still have a chance to qualify. It did ah hot dem rass.

And this was the same Panama side dat did rinse dem in prelims too.

Hopefully Panama beats Argentina in the playoff.

 
Jamstar 2018-10-17 23:36:37 

And to top it off this team is a very young team, Shaw is 21 Jody Brown is 16, Synder the keeper is 19 and there a couple more teenagers on the team plus the core of the rest of the team is 23-25.

If they stay focused this team can make multiple world cups.

 
JahJah 2018-10-18 07:18:50 

In reply to Jamstar

That's what I was saying on another thread. A lot of young, raw talent to work with.

 
birdseye 2018-10-18 08:30:07 

In reply to Jamstar

Right now this team have good athletes – not good soccer players, with the possible exception of Snyder --- they need a skilled creative coach --- someone who can teach them the art of creative “team” soccer – right now they are a kick and run team --- no team or ‘position’ concept ---there are times when someone have the ball – they don’t have to look where a teammate is – they just pass the ball to a position – because they know a player is there

bro! you play your strengths , if you have good athletes you look for the counter. if people are not technical you can't play one touch.

you look for the counter
My wife who does not know the first thing about football (soccer) kept asking why there wasent even one Jamaica player positioned close to, or on the US side of the half-court line just in case somebody kick the ball back there – the US had 3 defenders back there at all times – not one yadrie forward – then in the 2nd half they brought out this no 4 and put her there ---- she just trotted 6 paces simulating a directional compass – then trot back to her starting point – don’t think she came within 10 feet of the ball even when it came on her domain ---

 
Jamstar 2018-10-18 09:37:49 

In reply to JahJah

Shaw is a very good player and so is Jody Brown.

They are both very young and talented.

This team will learn the technical aspects once they are given the opportunity to continue playing.

 
camos 2018-10-18 10:08:36 

In reply to birdseye

the US had 3 defenders back there at all times – not one yadrie forward






the Jamaicans are much faster, so they can play deeper in their half... that is why the US had 3 defenders back at all times!

 
XDFIX 2018-10-18 10:24:07 

Once again, Jamaica's sporting ambassadors have done the spectacular.

This time, the country's women's team has created history by becoming the first from the Caribbean to qualify for a senior Fifa Women's World Cup.

Et tu, Jamaica?

Sorry I did not see this match. But I saw a photograph in today's Gleaner of some Panamanian defender hopelessly holding on to the jersey of the giant Kadijah who just brushed her away like a fly.


I will try to post it.

JoeGrine 2018-10-18 17:50:08 

There are a few girl that if targeted for development they can be world beaters:
Shaw
Brown
Patterson
Plummer
Swaby
Asher
Schnider

Kudos to the coach for the goalkeeping change late in extra time .It was a calculated move to bring on McLure his shot stopper and she delivered with 2 penalty saves

 
XDFIX 2018-10-18 18:27:05

Not that Schnider couldn't do the job, but good move nevertheless!

Yep it takes young raw talent to, in time, develop a solid squad. Dem will get licks at this point BUT will bounce back. Early Licks will toughen them up.
Never saw much -- how did the Shim girl do??

In reply to np

Was impressed with Shim. Good dribbler. Next to Shaw looked like the one player who can carry the ball. However, at times should be looking to pass; need to get a few moves to get around the defender. Was dribbling into the defender and falling down.

Would tend to agree about Shim.Wonder why she not starting. As you said,good mover of the ball.
Shaw is a good player. Looking to score and making plays for her team mates to score. Good leader.

 
JoeGrine 2018-10-19 17:33:32 

In reply to RoyalDad


Shaw = questionable work rate, however, a danger facing or with back to goal.

Asher = (#7) the best distributor and the best first touch. Panama obviously did their homework on the team and kept her closely marked throughout the game.

 
RoyalDad 2018-10-20 09:49:33 

In reply to JoeGrine

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this about Shaw. Her work rate should be questioned, but she makes up for her overall play and ball intelligence.Her size seems to be playing against her too.

Asher...will check replay on her.

be careful you are not using men's fitness standards to judge these women, I remember we had the best girls teams playing boys 2-3 years younger and the boys would out run them every time. If you watch US women college games , you notice the high number of fouls,those occur mainly because of a lack of fitness.

 
JoeGrine 2018-10-20 10:57:50

I have only seen her playing against other females.

 
JoeGrine 2018-10-20 10:59:15

Asher was marked out of the Panama match. You can see deft passes and ball control in the previous games especially the Costa Rica match.

 
RoyalDad 2018-10-20 16:34:03 

In reply to JoeGrine

Nice player.
Some time till France. Do you know of anymore talent in the pipeline? Did not know young Brown was named most talented youngster in competition. Likely some US college will come beating down her door.

 
JoeGrine 2018-10-20 17:21:51 

In reply to RoyalDad

Brown is in school in USA

 
Jamstar 2018-10-21 03:46:51 

Shaw was suffering from a toe injury.

Additionally she started in all the qualifiers, that's 12 games and played for 90 minutes in most.

For her that was a huge ask given her size and the fact that at the college level she rarely plays 90 minutes.

I do think she could lose some weight and get her fitness up but she has from now until the world cup to work on that. There is however no doubt about her quality as a striker just look at the goal she scored against Panama where she was being marked by 2 defenders and instinctively drifted of the shoulder of the first defender but did not drift so far as to drift into the path of the second defender there by making room for herself and when the cross came instead of going for power she guided the header back towards the near near post thereby catching the keeper flat-footed.

She is a quality striker who does the right thing the majority of the time but she can become even better.

 
RoyalDad 2018-10-21 10:45:38 

In reply to JoeGrine

All the same.

Girls soccer is a big time criteria to get a scholarship to college in US.She is on the right track.
