Jamaica's Demar Phillips (No.12) loses sight of the ball that falls on to the upper portion of his back, as he collides with Mexico's Fernando Arce, who falls to the ground, during Saturday night's CONCACAF Group Two World Cup qualifier at the National Stadium. Jamaica won 1-0 on a 16th-minute strike by Ricardo Fuller. The Boyz resumed preparations last night at the National Stadium for Wednesday's must-win games against Honduras. - Ian Allen/Staff Photographer
NOTING that the Reggae Boyz will be "competitive" as long as the country's best players are selected, Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) president Captain Horace Burrell expressed confidence the island will secure victory over Honduras to enhance its World Cup qualifying hopes.
He also pointed out that the coaching change that brought about the revamping of the team and its first win in the group elimination series could not have been done earlier.
