Wow!! You feel the Mexican women are 7-goals better than the Jamaican women's team?

Mexico has qualified a team to the Olympics before, and our women are way behind them in terms of quality on the field.

Sending a women's team to this tournament is waste of money with a federation that is bruk and owes over $100 million Ja. Lets work on putting a competitive team together, before sending our women to a tournament where they will come back shell-shocked, and have their confidence broken.
