Thank God fi the little indian youth, else St. Kitts would have ran us over. We damn lucky the game end 1-1.

Suh we done last in the group ... with our abundance of talent? That said, the Sugar Boys' (St. Kitts) goal was sweet like sugar.

Nuff ppl love chat off dem mouth bout we players dem onlyhave skill fibeat defender and cant do nuttin. Now that Jamaica a move way from the "skill factor" we gone downhill. Mi no see one player pon that sub-20 side wha can beat defenders. Look how the St.Kitts baller dem did have our defender demlike eediat. Man all beat three defender pon left-wing and dem all a buss the Zidane roulette. Nuff skillful baller out here didn't get selected. The team shoulda comprise mostly of Bridgeport players as theywere very skillful in Manning Cup and passed the ball around well, but, too late. Now I hope di eediat dem pon di site wha a underestimate the power of the "skillful baller" shut up dem mouth.

Simplicity is good at times but God, JA team play more borin than a field full a ole people.

<P class=StoryText align=justify>Jamaica's dream of playing in this year's FIFA Under-20 World Cup was dashed after going down 2-0 to hosts Mexico in the Banorte Stadium in a Group B CONCACAF qualifier on Friday night.<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=5 width=110 align=left border=0><TBODY><TR><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD><SPAN class=Description></SPAN></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><P class=StoryText align=justify>Cesar Osvaldo Villaluz tapped in Carlos Vela's pass to put the Mexicans ahead in the 31st minute, before Giovanni Dos Santos doubled the deficit 11 minutes into the second half.
The win saw Mexico join Costa Rica in booking a place in the Finals in Canada, following the Ticos' 3-2 win over St Kitts &amp; Nevis in the night's curtain-raiser.<P class=StoryText align=justify>The young Reggae Boyz matched the hosts for half an hour and had the first shot of the game, as the overlapping right-back Eric Vernon fired in an angled shot that goalkeeper Alfanso Blanco was lucky to hold onto in the fourth minute.<P class=StoryText align=justify>But as the Caribbean kingpins tried to match the Central Americans, their inexperience at this level was exposed, having entered the final phase of the qualifiers without playing a single international practice match.
Mexico's first intent to score came on 25 minutes when Villaluz's tap-in was ruled off-side by Panamanian referee Roberto Moreno.<P class=StoryText align=justify>Six minutes later, Villaluz was celebrating for good when he tapped past Jamaican goalie Dwayne Kerr, after the tricky Vela got by three defenders.
Villaluz thought he had scored again moments later, but was again ruled offside.<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=5 width=330 align=center border=0><TBODY><TR><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD><SPAN class=Description>Nicholas Beckett (left) tries to halt the progress of Mexican forward Giovanni Dos Santos during their Under-20 game on Friday night. Mexico won 2-0. </SPAN></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><P class=StoryText align=justify>The game plan of Mexican coach Jesus Ramirez, who guided the team to the 2005 FIFA Under-17 World Youth title, became more evident with Vela playing very wide on the left flank where he repeatedly cut inside the Jamaican defence to provide low, hard crosses that nullified the giant frame of Kerr.<P class=StoryText align=justify>Left-sided midfielder Michael Binns, who replaced Draion McNain in the team that started against Costa Rica, was switched to his stronger side, when Andre ****an, who got the nod over Edward Campbell, was substituted for the right-footed Omar Persad a minute before the break.
But as coach Dr Dean Weatherly sought to tighten the middle, the defence slacked up on the resumption when Barcelona prodigy Dos Santos latched onto a floating diagonal pass that fell behind central defenders Montrose Phinn and Nicholas Beckett, before lobbing a stranded Kerr.<P class=StoryText align=justify>Desperate to make amends, Dr Weatherly's lads dug deep, with striker Keammar Daley making way for Campbell, and James Thomas going in for Binns, but they were always playing catch up, as the hosts kept them in check.
And as the second half progressed, Alfanso became a spectator, as Jamaica failed to add to their four shots on goal from the first half.
At game's end, Dr Weatherly was not dissatisfied with the team's performance.<P class=StoryText align=justify>He sai
