I just don't get it......

But Burrell boasted about the size of his Rolodex and said he can call up any FA president and arrange a game, I would welcome a Peru or even Chile right now over Honduras or Guatemala again

[Delly's]

Gentlemen you are all missing the point, it's all about availability and money. To bring a team from UEFA, CAF and Asia will cost nuff money the JFF don't have on money (dunney).

I hope Simoes get we some small island game fi see the man dem a yard too.

For Jamaica EVERY practise game is an important one. You hear Carl Brown say we have fi play 50 games to be competitive? How the forum expert them who ask the importance of these games nuh see that?

So play 50 games against substandard opposition makes sense fi yu boss? Every game is important but so is the opposition you face too. We can play Grenadines, Aruba, St Martin, Turks and Caicos, St Kitts and you tell me what purpose will that serve us in terms of true preparation for our upcoming opponents in the semi-final round?

Is it fair for me to remind the forumites AGAIN. It was some of you that said since the Reggae Boyz are now in the rebuilding phase after the two friendlies against El Salvador and Guatemala. And after those two wins flaws were observed and pointed out in the two games with the final analysis being the Reggae Boyz taking small steps until they can jump.
This is now happening with El Salvador #141 and Guatemala #103 being small steps. Jamaica has now leaped above the #100 mark and stepped a bit wider with tougher competition in Costa Rica #69 and Honduras #54.

Be patient, forumites. As it is said: "Patience is a virture."

And watch de ride.

Also I believe we have a raincheck game with Ghana. Maybe Captain Burrell will hold them to it sometime in 2008.

So don't you think that Costa Rica is rebuilding also? I have been actively following their progress and they are struggling even though they're rated at #69.

This is certainly not a good time to play them. The Honduras game is a good test but realistically as I said before we don't need to play them now because we will see them in less than a yr.

[Warlord]

Could it be about which TEAMs are willing to play us and or the costs involved?

Not sure bout that boss. Isn't it Burrell's job to get proper games for us. I mean we don't have to play Central American opponents everytime now do we?

I don't think its costs or who's willing to play us. Its more about convenience than anything else.

fe real.. we need as many games as possible... matters not the competition... one step at a time... as we build up the wins, we will play bigger competiion... as far as i see, every team is a big team and we should approach it like that... there are no small teams when players are representing their nations...

[Baddaz]

i think its good to play these teams... first the team needs confidence... this can come with stringing together a series of wins... get the team iinto the habit of winning games... build up the rankings... invograte the local supporters... seems all good to me...

Sass what CB seems to
be forgetting is that; the RBOYZ at the time was mainly a bunch
of amatuer players (hence the need for many games to expose them). This time around we have many of our born Jakans playing in leagues overseas (look at where the goals came from in the last two friendlies).

I think the Prof is more than aware of the above and is planning accordingly.

[OJ]

proably because you have to beat them to qualify??

[Assasin]

I will not leave it at that. You state that the games we play were not worth it and Carl Brown is saying we were competitive in 98 because of the amount of games we played. It is not the first time he is saying something similar to this.

He also was always advocating for much more games when he was coach so it is not anything new, but you will go to any lenght to try and show that everything Burrell is doing is wrong. Has he done anything right since his return?

[Sickko]

Go google the article and re -read it and see if you agree with the grabage you posted.

You sound almost like Karl now in trying to justify foolishness.

Carl Brown said no such thing...leave it at that

[Assasin]

Why was it even mention? How many times did we qualify fi the world cup?

Why is Carl Brown now saying it is very hard? If we play 50+ games are you suggesting we only play top teams and leave out the no good ones?
I am certain Carl Brown was in NO SHAPE OR FORM advocating what you are.

[Sickko]

Carl Brown never said that..what he said was that we USED to play 50+ games per year in the lead up to 1998 but he did say that was not feasible now...where is Matter with his reading comprehension when we really need him???
