Good show by all concerned!

Chile in Jamaica will be a true measuring stick,since they had games vs Haiti & Cuba.Mosiah! St kitts & st Vincent are making strides also,please remember the leading goal scorer in the 2007 lunar cup was from st Kitts(2)and st vincent beat us last year 2-1,martiniqe always produce good players for france and won the 'copa caribe' in the mid 1990's.

[Mosiah]

I can't wait to see what Bora does with this team!

[Pepsi]

well mo, we will all see, some a say a 7-2 chile.what ever the result,it's one worth seeing.

[Pepsi]

USA-Forever 'RIP' unfortunately seems to have pass away a couple months ago if I am reading correctly.

[Muadib]

7-2 ? I thought Downswell was no longer in charge ?

It thought it was obvious to all that FSC would carry the game live with a one hour delay on Sportsmax.
Part of the deal was that FSC would carry all Jamaica's home game live with FSC Jamaica now part of the FOX Sports family. However, I'm trying to find out if Jamaica's 2010 World Cup qualifiers are included in the package deal since FIFA and CFU own the rights.

[Pepsi]

of course ! Yes,!

A pretty strong squad.

Several of the players play in Europe, and a few in Argentina and Brazil.

Look out for Matías Fernández, their midfielder who plays in Spain. He's supposed to be the new young phenomenon of Chilean football.

We will be using a local lineup with one or two foreign based players sprinkled in for good measure. Should be interested to see what Bora is doing with this team.

[Karl]

Bora finds himself in a spot not unlike CB and the other Jamaica coaches.

It was reported he was hired in November last...and, fair men like Reggae Fan (tongue in cheek) shall claim that he was in charge from that day. Truth be told Bora finds himself, even at this time, approaching seven (7) months after being employed, without the 'real team'. It could be argued that in a real sense he is not yet on the job!

Any attempt to judge him based on any result we may gain from this Chile match is not worth the effort, just as it is not worth the effort evaluating this squad. In my mind, it is more a matter of seeing the type products the NPL has thrown up.

If we consider the local players being at the top or near the top set of players in the NPL, it may be wise to look at these players as what is possible if each NPL team was...all the NPL teams were being managed by competent coaches, competent trainers and competent administrators.

I think to be fair to Bora, he should be judged after being put in charge of the 'real team' and having three or four matches with the 'real REGGAE BOYZ' under his belt. That is give Bora some time to create TEAM...our 'real TEAM' and then, let the chips fall where they may.

For myself right now it is all about trying to see which players show understanding of the game...level of individual technical skill...and, is smart in the way he goes about playing this game...who shows an affinity to play TEAM. You could be a 'popper' better than Pele or Maradona if you play like a fool forget about it...i.e. not sensibly, forget about it!

[Pepsi]

Tilla, should'nt we do what the cubans have done i.e to Travel to a South American country for a Game ?.If we are able to top Chile this idea can come to light.I am sure they would want a rematch on home turf.

Karl, who is responsible for Bora getting the "real" team to choose from?
