2025 Concacaf Gold Cup

In reply to XDFIX

What happens if Jamaica and Guatemala both win their matches?

There will be 3 teams on 6 points each

Comes down to goal difference? Or there’s another tie breaker?

In terms of goal difference,
Panama has +4
Both Jamaica and Guatemala are 0

I guess depends on who wins by the bigger margin.

Jamaica failing to progress from this group would be a major disappointment given their ranking, personnel, name coach, and form (recently easily beat Guatemala in Jamaica).

In reply to imusic

For me, it would be almost a Disaster .We have the players

In reply to imusic

Yes, a major disappointment. McClaren is a big name club coach but he was pathetic as an English manager. Not doing any better with Jamaica.

Sir Hubert we do not have the players for the midfield. With Isaac Hayden out, we are missing a 6. The coach refused to select Ravel Morrison and we are lacking a good CAM.

In reply to hubert

What players Hubert? If your defense is vital to keeping the opposition from scoring goals and your frontline is vital to scoring goals, it follows that your midfield is the most important unit on the team as it connects both vital cogs. Jamaica's response to that is to select 5 midfielders for a tournament. Of the 5, one is injured (Reid), well, he may make his first appearance tongiht, and one was always heading back to England (Hayden), and one is not a true midfielder (Atkinson) - - - no Morrison, Cover or Mothersille. WE MAD AS SHAD!

The coach said it's a tournament and he cannot afford to experiment, then proceeded to trot out Lowe, a defender as a CDM and "Busy" Atkinson a winger, as a midfielder. WE MAD AS SHAD!

In reply to nitro and JoeGrine

He has players to call on. But he is not using the talent at his disposal and putting
them in positions that suits them.
He should be explain why Morrison is not on the field when the midfield is so weak.
That is his major error. Mothersille too. Did not know he had Lowe as CDM.
Is the coach playing to win ? You don't go to a Tournament and experiment.
Does he knows the players' abilities etc
Are they not available ? hurt ? or what ????
Even Ray Charles can see that the team needs to have a good midfield. And Ray has
been dead for a long time.
Anyway, I still wish them luck..they will need it. If I watch ,I would like to see them win but
if lose, lose looking like an international football team. I am not optimistic

In reply to hubert


Absolutely.

If not the best (that MIGHT go to Canada), Jamaica IMO has at least the 2nd best group of players in CONCACAF

In reply to imusic

If a Jamaican team, irrespective of place of birth, is assembled with the right coach, they would be the best in the region, however, local coaches want to sell players and they see these competitions as opportunities to show off local talent, so a "Busy" Anderson MUST make the squad then start as a midfielder even though he is no good and he is not a midfielder. You just cannot make this up.

I have said before, McLaren is about 63 years old, JFF handed him a golden parachute, does one think he is going to go against them?

In reply to imusic

Doubt that. USA, Canada & Mexico have more players in the top 5 leagues in Europe. Don't sleep on the Mexican league either, it is ranked 13th in the world.

Well dis is it - leh we go Jamaica

Stands empty to blow wow

Unlucky

Panama 2, Jamaica 0 (18th minute)

Uncharacteristic by Blake

In reply to FanAttick

US Commentators saying the players don’t look motivated at all.

A must win game and they’re tentative in their play. Commies saying their attitude is poor

In reply to imusic

Panama 2. Jamaica 1 (28th minute)

Really nice wing play and finish.

Game on!

In reply to imusic

In reply to imusic

In reply to Chrissy

Guatemala leading Guadeloupe 2:0

Penalty for Panama.

Dis Done

In reply to Chrissy

Really soft penalty call to me

More look like the Panama player dived than fouled. Yes, the Jamaican player touched him but slightly

Blake will save it and redeem himself

Panama 3, Jamaica 1 (45th minute)
