Jamaica win vs Nicaragua.

Great job Blake. I see some sensible attempts. Still giving away the ball too easy though.

Has Lowe ever played a full game without picking up a silly yellow.

Nicaragua? I feel Guyana can beat dem.

1. Central America is a difficult place to get a positive result irrespective of the opposition.
2. First-half officiating was quite questionable.

GK : Blake (9.5) spectacular saves, however, with the ball at his feet he is still a bit shaky and a top team will be asking questions of him in that regard.
RB : T. Gray (6.0) he did not hurt his chances of remaining in the squad. Lembikisa is better especially, going forward.
CB : Lowe (7) we saw both sides of Lowe in this game stout defending and the obligatory yellow-card.
CB : Pinnock (7.5) solid and sound reader of the game. Was a bit ambitious with his forward runs.
LB : Leigh (7.5) for me, he remains Jamaica's best option at the left-back position. He is an asset in attack.
CDM:Latibudierre (6.0) decent but not a convincing outing.
M : Anderson (6.0) I am still not seeing anything special with this player. He gives away the ball too often and is not a solid tackler.
M : Reid (7.0) his usual busy self, doing most things satisfactorily.
AM: Magee (7.5/8.0) belonged on the pitch, also willingness to help in defense something not often seen in his game. I was surprised they played him wide.
F : D. Gray (7.5) a much better showing that his last two games displaying effectiveness on both wings.
F : Williams (6.5) good hold-up play but missed a clear chance in the first half.
RESERVES
Holgate - showed positional awareness and comfort with the ball at his feet. I could see him starting in the CDM position.
Cephas - more willing to share the ball in this game rather that the selfish trait he previously displayed.
Campbell - not on the field long enough to be impactful.

Check Nicaragua's results over the last 12 months before making that assumption.

The RBoyz are starting to boss the Central Americans and a good thing too,we must learn from Jamaica.No other country in the Caribbean could beat Nicaragua,I feel sure of that,TT and Haiti may just do well getting a draw.

NicT, JG an Granite I've obviously not been keeping up yes. Will catch up and start following mire keenly

Missed this game..Forgot about it.
But this is a good win and away at that makes this even more priced.
Congrats to everyone.

Surinam 1 Costa Rica 1,a surprise result,that was not expected and you wouldn't have bet on that.Daiz wah ah say,Jamaica showing de way.

The question on the street regarding the Manning Cup is, can Butler keep the Cup?
