What Nuff people can't understand is that at this level it s not the best looking team playing the best brand of ball that wins, it is the most disciplined team that will win, which is why the US and Mex are first out of the hex consistently. Lack of discipline leads to unfocused, uninspired play, lack of discipline lead to guys playing out of position and the defensive shape being in disarray, lack of discipline leads to coaches being unable to communicate and the team unable to execute as a unit. That is what we saw last night. This hex will not be dominated by pretty ball it will be ruled by he who makes the least mistakes, we made two mistakes that cost us, worse we did not play in a way that would reduce the possibility of the mistake, so instead of the midfield holding shape and absorbing the punishment the defense line was reached and bypassed by a weak cr team.
What shocked concacaf from the mex game was seeing jamaica play a serious defense first, disciplined counterattack game like a unit, they were scared that such a team would be there all hex, now they are smiling again, as the panama coach said he expected a different more defensive team, the cr coach said some of the same before the game, instead he got a wide open, non pressing team, what does a wide open team love more than a wide open opponent, we played into their hands.
Until we figure out who we are and understand that hex football is not Carib cup and that the team with the least mistakes and play disciplined unit ball will move forward.
Some people on here say the most indisciplined of players should get a shot, well if they can't even discipline them self to play club ball how them going to play hex ball. We are dreamers, dreaming of a day we wil play like brazil and not content to know we are jamaica and we must play to what we have.
Seven matches to go, this can be done but don't expect no miracles, this will have to be hard scrabble, disciplined, play with purpose ball. I can understand why some people find that funny, because maybe struggle and sacrifice is too hard and that ain't no fun to watch. But I tell you that draw in Mexico at Azteca was the best I have ever seen us play against a good opponent in a very tough situation, we played a tight structured defense and did not need any magic to get the opportunities that we threw away, just straight up ball. This is the hex our offense must springboard from the defense, that will keep us competitive, if we are competitive we have a shot, we can't be competitive when we lose by two to that cr team.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
