Congrats Reggaeboyz. ...

I alluded to the fact last week that 4 to 5 days before the first game there was nothing in the Jamaican media or from the JFF on the composition of the team. I had to go on the CONCACAF site to see the final make up of the team which would be representing us. Then we have Johnny (sorry I mean Sass) coming to the defense of the JFF that everybody already knew what the team was going to be so there is no need to promote.

I mean, how can you have the national side playing in a competition and you do not promote it to garner interest from the public? I am sure that cricket and track and field were promoting their events prior to their competitions.

We just love fi cuss we team, that is all we good for.
If yard base team get a shot, them same one cuss them how them nuh good,.
When overseas based player come in, a dem why we lose.

When we win, we quiet. You nuh see the trend.

Dunny: Agree with Don1.
My experience in JA is some rabid cricket fans skip Sabina Park to watch local football.

My unscientific feeling is, football has surpassed cricket as the people's sport from at least in the 1990s.

The JFF has always done a poor job of promoting 'di football'. ...and that is, both at home and abroad. How often do we run into fans of our football with Reggae Boyz matches in their locality never having heard there was such?

Too numerous to recall!

Did the JFF seek...proactively seek...local broadcast of the matches?
How much did *'the JFF spend' to promote the Gold Cup at home?

*'the JFF spend' = Time! Effort! ...& Money?

I think the answer must be, "Not enough!"

The national team playing in their federation elite competition and the JFF need to promote it? Can you imagine an African team playing in the African Nations cup or a South American team playing in the Copa or even Mexico playing in the Gold Cup and people don't know about it? Radio and TV must be shut dung!!
A joke ting dat.

Actually that instant cricket thingy would be no contest for the RBZ...IF Jamaicans both KNEW and IDENTIFIED with most of the players

Big problem

If it is not on the tv then that is the most likely response. Every one knew about Copa America

[Don1]

The Reggae Boyz can't compete with that I am afraid. I have watched quite a few of the games myself. We get the games live here in the UK
