"The enviroment is a collegiate one, and its better than any youth system we have in Jamaica , but is it comparable to the Brazillain youth system?"

You a one those people who just see words but don't absorb their contents. I didn't say to put them in a collegiate environment. What I meant was to utilise their facilities by setting up camps during the holiday seasons. But now that I think about it, what harm would it do to have our U17 and U15 playing against college teams? It is also easier to tap into the Jamaican and caribbean diaspora here in the US to get support. Brazil is not the end all, be all. We need to give more respect to US Soccer because they have achieved far more than us. We may not like their style of play, but we cannot match their accomplishments.

Darn Jange another 100% on point answer.

Please understand though that truth is over-rated.

[Sir X]

Again is it comparable to the Brazillain youth system ? Are the benefits we get comparable ?

Yep playing against their collegiate teams is your objective as opposed to playing in one of the worlds best football enviroment...aaah saaaah, which american coach can we tap to twist a MLS youth team to play our youths or which governmental official or club can we tap to extend or subsidise a stay ?

Respecting the USA system and wanting to be a part of it , are two seperate arguements.I respect it and what it has achieved in concacaf , the world but our Rbyz need not be a part of it, when a better option is out there.

Brazil mi say.

HL,

Mi nah touch nutten whe start wid "Bi-" ...yuh nevah know what yuh might ketch!

Our coaching is not up to par... I don't know if the coaches expose our players to, and explain what, successful teams do. It really is frustraing as a fan to know your team loses by playing crap. If you play well and lose well, hopefully you did your best and the better team won, but from what I hear the team could not string three passes together... it means the players are mentally lazy, this is where I believe our weakness lies.

Congrats to your "liddle" side. i just hope that by June we can get our act together.

PR, I watched the game on ESPN 3.

I was gobsmacked when I saw a botched free-kick. I felt sad for the younger BoyZ. This clearly reflect a coaching flaw.

A US camp -- would expose them to the mental aspect you mentioned. It would broaden their football scope. I think it was Jangle who correctly said--it would result in a form of hybrid style of football. It would help a lot!!

I was expecting 6 love from the multi million dollar org, that prepares its youth for FIFA tournaments on an annual basis.

Nice to see that old excuses never die!

[Sir X]

Is anything I said not true?

What does money have to do with passing a football on the ground?

And on a related point: Can anyone tell me the STRATEGIC objective of the JFF? Are there goals for the next 5 years articulated anywhere? Unless those are known, specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely goals, (SMART) then any money spent will be money wasted. If they do indeed exist, can someone tell me where I can find them?
