World Cup Qualifier clash with Boys & Girls Champs

[Mosiah]

In my view, Champs should not and cannot be postponed or brought forward.

Maybe the WC match can be brought forward 1 week?

[Muadib]

hmmm.. lets see.. FIFA vs ISSA..?

[Mosiah]

Goliath and David!

[Peter R]

erm... David slew Goliath.. are we on the same page? are you saying ISSA rules?

[Mosiah]

Yes! Watch and see!

[Bricktop]

Champs is more important than WC...by a mile...

[Mosiah]

I agree!

[MdmeX]

Bricky and Mosiah agree on something

Myopic Reaction?

After all the emotional ranting and time-wasting are finished, maybe we can appreciate that this could very well be a blessing in disguise for our track and field athletes.

For many years, concern has been raised over the timing of champs -- just a week before the Carifta Games. In recent times we have seen our power base, the sprints, slowly but surely eroded by superior performances from the Bahamas and from Trinidad & Tobago. One possible reason for our relatively poor showing in our traditional area of dominance is exhaustion on the part of our athletes.

Would you please elaborate?

[Bricktop]

Do the math...how many WC medals has Jamaica won versus Olympic and World Championship T&F medals? Capiche?

[Muadib]

<The annual Inter-Secon-dary Schools Sports Associa-tion (ISSA)/GraceKennedy Boys & Girls' Athletics Champion-ships will be held a week earlier next year because the four-day track-and-field event that is held in the National Stadium coincides with one of Jamaica's FIFAWorld Cup Qualifying (WCQ) matches, which are played at the same venue.>

Back to reality...

[Muadib]

I hope you were joking about this...
