Suppose a 100% local side picked up 8-0 in a "friendly"?

Had it been Vin Baine on the side lines you would blaming the coach.

"If the proper techniques are taught at an early age, then everything else will fall into place."
How do you propose Ja go about doing the above. Thanks.

If you don't know something ask for the correct answer. Do you know what Pele, Zico, Romario, R9, Dinho, Robinho , Neymar et al have in common?

They were born in Brazil?

[Jawge]

See that's the myth that you follow and not investigating the facts. yes they were all born in Brazil and came through system. The system is Futebol de Salao (Futsal for short) for the young. They all did not play on the big field until 12 and up. The Hex of 2013 screamed something at you but you listened not. It said Ja was the weakest of all in terms of technique. How did Panama catch and surpass Ja? I'm sure Haiti and T&T want to be in the Hex next WCQ.

Well the JFF has made some progress since I wrote that article, "Time to face Reality" in about 2009. They have partnered with UWI to implement a coaching curriculum to improve the teachers of the game. They have also, implemented a mandate that all coaches must have a basic minimum requirement. We are still a long way off in the education level required of our local coaches, but we have started to make baby steps. When it comes to the Jamaican experience, the allocation of limited funds causes disruptions. It's about prioritizing and tempering our expectations. You have to start by improving the teachers' knowledge of the game with a focus at the youth level. Everything else becomes secondary.

Read my response above and tell me if you agree with me.

[Jawge]

What are you talking about? I want to know how will you teach proper technique a a early age.All that mumbo jumbo means nothing. Either you answer the question or say you cannot answer it.

[HL]

...a core group of locals playing on inferior surfaces.............

And when they leave the country to play-- they are perplexed when the ball comes to them off a fast surface....

[Jawge]

HL does the players from S.America have equal facilities to that of Europe? It's something else boss and it's poor technique. If Ja doesn't fix this problem, Ja won't even make the Hex for the 2018 WC (mark my words on this).

[Jangle]

I thought I was answering your question. maybe it's not the answer you are looking for, so enlighten me O' Great Teacher. TIA.

[Jawge]

Really? When the most you can see with Pele, Dinho, Neymar, Robinho et al is that they are born in the same country? Why should I even debate learning the game of football with you? Why?

[Jangle]

...a core group of locals playing on inferior surfaces.............

So in your opinion, Jamaica must put proper playing surfaces as their number 1 priority?

[Jangle]

As a teacher, you should not assume that your students know the answer. If they did, then they wouldn't need you. I am still waiting to be schooled.

[Jawge]

You could not answer because you lack the depth in investigating why the Brasilians play with such superior technique. Nations are wising up and paying huge sums to improve technique, hence the continued playing of high school football will place Ja at the very bottom
