FROM THE BOUNDARY - Well done, Jamaica ... and good luck

IT IS commonly said that what you put in is what you get out and, as far as I am concerned, Jamaica got what they deserved when they defeated Mexico before a near full house at the National Stadium on Saturday night.

I have always believed that all you can realistically ask a man to do is to give his best. In all my years in sport, I have never asked anyone to do anything but to give of his best and, on Saturday night, Jamaica, cheered on by a host of flag-waving supporters, gave their best in their bid

to stay in the race for a place in the World Cup finals in South Africa.

It's clear now. Becca knows not what he is writing about.

Captain Ricardo Gardner, however, was exceptional, especially so because of his testing freekicks, and so, too, Ricardo Fuller, not because he scored the goal, but because of his energy in the field, his urgency in going forward, his hustling of the defenders and because of a magnificent shot from the distance - a powerhouse which did not rise above the grass more than a metre and which flashed past the diving goalkeeper.

Gardner exceptional?!?

What testing freekicks from Gardner?!?

What energy, urgency, hustle did Fuller bring to the game more than many others?

It was Austin who hit that powerhouse, not Fuller.

Not one word about the Man of the Match Jamal Campbell-Ryce?!
