Reggae Boyz must do well in June, says 'Stew Peas'
Reggae Boy defender Damion 'Stew Peas' Stewart is harbouring no illusions.
"Now is the do or die moment for us," is his assessment of next month's crucial eight-day, three-game test for Jamaica's Reggae Boyz in their quest to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Finals in Brazil.
On June 4 the Boyz welcome regional powerhouse Mexico to the National Stadium for their return-leg game. Three days later the US come calling at the same venue for another 8:30 pm encounter, and on June 11 the Boyz take on Honduras at the Tiburcio Carias Olympic Stadium in Tegucigalpa.
The Boyz are currently rooted at the bottom of the Hexagonal on two points, but just three points adrift of leaders Panama, who are followed by Costa Rica, USA and Honduras on four points, with the other winless team Mexico on three points. Each team has played three games.
"If we don't amass at least five points from these three games we can call it doom or done," Stewart told the Sunday Observer via telephone from Malaysia last Tuesday, where he now plies his skills in the Malaysian Super League with Pahang FC after eight years with English clubs.
