    What?...no interest in the Olympic qualifications on Fox TV?

    I always comment that Jamaicans prefer cricket over football. The pundits here think otherwise.

    The US, Honduras, Cuba and Panama battle for playing in the olympics. It is LIVE on Fox. I am yet to see comments on this forum about these worthy matchups...

    Oh, and another observation, H' view matchup with DC United produced what looked like a less than half full stadium. A match of this sort i thought would see standing room only. (I wonder what type of game would "cork" H'view stadium?).

    I agree with you HL. However, I saw clips of the Houston dynamo vs Municipal (Guatemala) played in Guatemala....stadium was roughly 1/5 full.
    Away fans play a significant role in club football....the die-hards showed up for HV...the die-hards didnt show up for DC.

        Took a little peek at the Cuba vs USA. The standard was poor! I left/stopped watching!

        BTW - The stadium was just about empty.

          I watched the USA/Cuba too. I have been busy the past week so I have not said much on this or other issues.

            The US team has looked quite poor.

            Kamani Hill has struggled. Sturgis and his central defensive partner give away the ball. Adu from Toronto seems limited on the offensive side, McCarthy's mobility is lacking, Freddy and Altidore dribbling has just led to turnovers. Charlie Davis and the other black attacker who was playing on the flank seem lost.

            Overall quite a poor display.

              It's not that they prefer cricket over football, it is just that HVFC's opponent was not the top quality that would normally bring out the fans who know their football. Furthermore, as the other forumites say, the quality of play in the olympic qualifying games here in Tampa has been very poor and the USA team looked very average or overated at best...come on I know you agree! BTW, the last time I checked it seemed like about 2 dozen people watching those games in the Raymond james Stadium. How about something positive like how HVFC outplayed your MLS top product and our local players looking better than those international and US players. Instead you dug deep to find something negative...about people preferring cricket over football and the stands not full. Is that all you could come with? Well maybe the DC people know their football and will come out in numbers to see a quality product in the return leg against their MLS outfit! What do you say about that!?

                I don't that that is a true statement. As I'm not in JA it's hard for me to say...but I could almost put my head on a block and say that local cricket clubs (Melbourne etc) don't draw any significant crowds even if a visiting club side were there.

                Be careful that we aren't comparing mangoes to oranges.

                    Peter R, no one attends our local cricket matches. HL just waan fi chat him usual nonsense.

                    Everyone agrees that the Olympic matches have been poor, including the US team. They got a bogus penalty against Panama and with the poor quality I stopped watching. And the HV stadium had more people than that game!!!
