Wondering About David Gordon....

[Bruce]

1. Does David Gordon want to play for Jamaica?

2. Is David Gordon "Jamaican enough" to meet the JFF standards?

3. If the answers to Questions 1 and 2 are both yes, how long does it take FIFA to process the paperwork?

4. Are my constant updates worth it if Daniel Gordon does not want to play or cannot play for Jamaica?

Who the muck is David Gordon?

I think he means Daniel Gordon, a German defender of Jamaican father.

Daniel Gordon, my bad. He plays for Rotweiss Oberhausen in the German second division. He is a defensive midfielder, but at 6-4 tall, he is used as a target for corner kicks and free kicks served into the box.

Cool, but can he read the game, pass, and tackle properly!

If he is better than those we have, meets the requirements for Jamaican citizenship, and wants to play for The Boyz then The Captain and Tappa should really take a look.

USA just capped their latest player born in Germany. Jermaine "Germanyjones" Jones recently played in the USa game vs Colombia and was pretty good. If Daniel Gordon is as good as "Germanyjones" I see no reason why we should ignore him if he makes an effort to be selected.

Hell Yes

ABSOULTELY! Gordon's downside is that he picks up yellow cards a bit too often. He has four cards after seven games with RWO, and he will be suspended for one match if he gets another.

He had a bad outing in a 3-0 loss against Duisburg. He was replaced in the 66th minute of the match, presumably because RWO wanted to put more offense in the lineup being down 2-0. Otherwise, he has played every minute of the other six matches. Gordon has one goal, he headed in a corner kick.

Before the Duisborg match, RWO had the second lowest number of goals conceded.

Heinrich Schmidtgal, Daniel's teammate at RWO, is a Kazakhstan international. He played in two or three of Kazakhstan's Euro 2012 qualifiers, including one against Germany. Schmitgal is a left side midfielder.

Bruce, why not use your contacts to touch base with the youth and see if he would be interested in a call from Jamaica. If he is then, Tappa is constantly looking on players. . .

[Bruce]

I don't know if my friend has accents.

I don't know if my friend has access to the players, but I will ask him.

Farmah, by JA law, if one of his parents are Jamaican then he is automatically a Jamaican by birth no matter where he was born. All he would need is to apply for his passport.

He's not as good as Jones. But that shouldn't be a reason for Jamaica to leave him out of consideration.
