Now that qualification is over, how do we maintain our ranking and improve upon it ensure that we are in the top 50 and better for the next 4 years until the next qualification round for 2014. The core of this team will still be around, Richards, Cummings, Shelton, a long in the tooth Fuller, Austin, Campbell Rice will be 29-30, Phillips still young, the defense line will be older but maybe we bring in some new blood.
Bottom line is this core is phenomenal and has tons of potential, we seem to have found a nice style of play, now we need clear objectives from now through 2014, Digicel Cup or whatever it name now, Gold Cup we must aim to win the Gold Cup, that should be the focus for the immediate to mid term time period. The JFF needs to have a clear timeline through to the next qualifying round with a clear critical path of progress through that time.
here is the path.
1. Win Regional Cup rest of 2008.
2. 2009 Win Gold Cup get into top 50 FIFA ranking.
3. 2010 be prepared to be a strong team to serve as a top notch team for WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS with the intention to win these matches and make some money, get into the top 40.
4. 2011 get into the top 30.
5. 2012 Inside the top 25 and qualify for 2014.
6. 2013 Win the Gold Cup get inside the top 20 teams, prepare for Copa Mundial.
7. 2014 go to Copa, tear it up and get to semifinal round at least, there it is that is the critical path to success, now what steps do we need in order to make that a reality.
8. Get ranked in top 5 after making the semis of World Cup.
Oh, once JB gone (i give him a year) get Whitmore in give him his shot and if he is what we think he is then he will take us to 2014.
