The JFF failed the U-20 team and coaches
Adrian Frater, News Editor
Western Bureau-
Jamaica's dismal showing in the just-concluded CONCACAF Under-20 Football Championship should serve as both a reality check and a wake-up call for the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), especially its top leadership and technical committee.
I believe that in putting our players on show without the requisite preparation - knowing that they would be challenging teams that have been operating as cohesive units for as much as two years - the JFF has set our players and coaching staff up to fail before loyal fans, who are known to be unkind to losers.
While I use the word 'losers', if one chooses to be fair, neither our players nor their coaches should be deemed losers by any stretch of the imagination. Under the circumstances they were faced with, I think they should be commended for not embarrassing Jamaica, though they did not win any of the games they contested.
