    Not attractive.

    Still, let's hope a few european WC qualified teams will beg Jamaica for a tune-up match.....

                  Not if they know what's good for them they won't.

                  Remember when the USA played Jamaica in a friendly just before the 2002 WC? We won 5-0, but the Boyz played very rough and were throwing around late tackles left and right. Several of our players finished the game injured.

                  Who wants to risk that before a World Cup?

                    i was at that games and stop your lying. The boys didn't play ruff. How many of your players missed a game because of injury? Post it.

                    We played the US before the last world cup as well and how many players got injured? How many players from England got injured their last friendly.

                    You need fi think sometimes before you spew.

                        Read the report yourself:


                        American attack fires on all cylinders, but physical battle causes concerns
                        There is something to be said for a 5-0 romp over a regional rival, but tonight’s brawl with Jamaica was not what coach Bruce Arena and the United States men needed.

                        The match at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., was extremely physical with the Americans facing a team with a chip on its shoulder. It was the equivalent of playground basketball -- fast, tough and, at times, ugly. Jamaica was not particularly skillful, but big and tough, its players not happy they would be watching the World Cup on TV while the U.S. was soon headed to the Big Dance which starts May 31 in South Korea and Japan.

                          So you use one article without source to prove your point? I was at the game and I never saw it. Again how many players missed a game?

                          A few bruises maybe but that is common. Again we played the US in the Coralina before the last World cup and what happened there?

                          Tell me how many times Jamaican players injury American players in games?

                            How far away is that if we cant get any decent games in the first three months of the new year... as I am trying to get into that concrete orb on top of HL's shoulders...Jamaica is not an attractive opposition right now and no one will come 'begging' games... it is up to us to go begging games and to make it an attractive proposition to the other countries.
