So, many people have written the Reggae Boyz off regarding World Cup 2010. Now that there seems to be a glimmer of hope many persons are jump on the World Cup band wagon.
I expect Jamaica to win the next World Cup qualifier, just as I expected them to win the last two.
I believe that God is doing a great thing in putting Jamaica on the map once again. And Jamaica making it to the World Cup finals will be just a continuation of what took place in the Beijing.
Now, Theodore Whitmore replaced Brazilian Rene Simoes as coach of the Reggae Boyz. He has won 2 crucial games as coach. After the next one John Barnes will take over.
I am curious, why is it that we cultivate this culture in Jamaica in which we choose to pay foreigners ridiculous amounts of money to do what Jamaicans are more than capable of doing (as Mr. Whitmore has shown).
I am sure that Theodore is not getting anything near to millions of dollars that the Professor was getting nor what John Barnes will be getting, even though he has delivered the goods.
Haven't we learnt anything from what our local coaches did in Beijing with our locally trained athletes? Anywho...
