Aside from leading the DPL by scoring 25 goals, and then slotting in 4 goals in 3 games for the national team, what was Devon Hodges mistake? According to reports he did not have a good game in the second Cayman game. But how did one bad game obliterated the exploits of a glorious DPL season and then 2 impressive national team games? Tappa should've selected Hodges, even if it had to be at the expense of Luton Shelton!
The question as to why Keammar Daley was not carried to the Gold Cup is another one hard to fathom. Somehow though (and inspite of his obvious skills), there must be something that he's not displaying to the coaches. JB had him in his squads but really didn't play him much. It's a shame that this little dynamite will not get the chance to showcase his skills at the Gold Cup.
Ryan Johnson is having a blistering season at San Jose and has shown a vast improvement over his last MLS season. Would've liked to see him but I'm not overly concerned about his omission because, unlike Hodges and Daley, he is already in a pro setting where he is getting the chance to hone his skills weekly.
Would've liked to see "Shortman" at the Gold Cup but it's hard to argue with his exclusion when one considers that he would've had to beat out either Jason Morrison or Rudolph Austin to get a spot.
Tappa was remiss in not giving prior consideration to Shavar Thomas. This player would've been an upgrade over Pepe Goodison who is slowed by injuries.
