Portmore, and HV competed against North American teams and none have been embarrassed as we usually are.
How do you explain that?

I am talking the caribbean club championship.
The fact that the NPL teams are better than they were 5 years ago. That is what Rene is talking about.
Most teams maybe had one or two better player and mostly unfit players. The standard is better, much better.Leave a comment:

the quality for the team has improved. How can you explain our wining and competing in the caribbean cup for the past few years?
Teams like HV, Portmore, Tivoli have structures in place and have constant training so the quality is going to be better. Don't judge the quality of the league on what is done at the national level or we and England inna same boat.Leave a comment:

the quality much better for the local team. IF you follow Jamaican football over the years you definately would know that.
Every year for the past 3 or 4 years we compete in the Caribbean cup and win it most time. The teams are more organized and players paid more.
When Simoes came the first time we had all part time players who really who love the game but wasn't looking to make a living from the game.
Hopefully it will continue to rise, with clubs like HV and Portmore taking the lead in terms of structure and administration.Leave a comment:

Does he need to see more games in order to make that assessment? Based on his knowledge of the game, I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Plus it may be a strategy to make us feel good.Leave a comment:

AFTER watching the second half of the Cash Plus Premier League match that Waterhouse won 1-0 over Sporting Central Academy at Drewsland Mini Stadium on Saturday, national technical director Rene Simoes says he felt heartened by the quality on show.
"What I see is much better than what I saw when I came here in 1994," noted Simoes, who also served as technical director between that year and 2000, when Jamaica gained its historic World Cup qualification for the France 1998 Finals.
The Brazilian, who had also witnessed the first half of the Premier League game between Harbour View and August Town at Harbour View Mini Stadium earlier, added: "I'm encouraged because the quality is better than the last time."
Shortly after arriving in the island on Saturday, the technical director stated his intention to search for talent that he'll incorporate into the national teams with overseas-based ballers, particularly the senior team at this point which is gearing towards World Cup qualifiers in June.
It wasn't the most fluent game but it was a very competitive affair between the contestants with a natural attacking flair.
Weston Forrest scored the all-important goal for strong-finishing home team Waterhouse to continue its impressive, unbeaten run since replacing Peruvian coach Danilo Barriga with Wayne Fairclough, netting five victories and 17 points that helped them to claw back at the leaders.
At one stage Portmore United led by as many as six points over Tivoli Gardens, with Waterhouse further back. With Sunday's 1-0 win over Arnett, Tivoli jumped into the lead on 30 points, Portmore lost 1-3 at Lynch Park to Portland newcomers St. Georges
