Indeed, it is like a scene from the 300 movie, where the brave Theodoris led his mighty Reggae Boyz out to the field of battle. Drawn from a small nation of just over 2.3 million people, the brave 24 led as front runners of an army of 30,000 fans crammed inside the National Stadium to witness the death of the Once mighty King- Mexico and their would-be successors, the abitious Hondurans- lol, They must have never heard about the Office!!! Jamaica is once more on course to save their African Campaign with 1-0 victoires over both Mexico and Honduras here on the 'Rock'.
The second victory was made even more sweeter with the news that Canada had played to a scoreless draw with Mexico. the ideal resut would have been a Canadian Win, but as jamaicans, we don't need a window of oppertunity, all we need is the Window, we always create our own oppertunities. The group is now up in shambles as Mexico being under pressure will have to Win to atleast save face as well as save the Job of an under- fire Coach. Honduras on the other hand will engage the match on full attack as they must win, leaving an open defense for Mexico to exploit, should be a thriller. All Jamaica will have to do is Win atleast, never mind how much, just win, and the rest id up to faith, and we al know how she envies Stella, so she must be smiling at her win win situation in Jamaica. It feels like 1997 when i was singing " Rise Up" with all the hype of the Reggae Boyz and the fact that all Jamaicans knew of the fact- "Jesus Saves".
The best part of the Reggae Boys' victories is the fact they were filled with a new confidence and they won in style. They never withdrew, not once, they kept attacking and constructively too, yes i am talking about the Reggae Bowyz of Jamaica, they played proud and assertive; with class, speed, skill and flare, sound like a footballer i once knew, oh wait i still know him, only now is is the coach. Theodore Whitmore, the "Magician" showed that the 'Tappa' way is best. There was no Ping Pong , tennis football that we have come to know of the Jamaica team, a just a passing game and everybody showed up. The most impresive players however were Jamaal Campbel-Rice, Ian 'Pepe' Goodison , Tyrone Marshall and brace for this one- Claude Davis, yes people, Claude Davis. He has been reborn and both Mexico and Honduras felt the wrath of a man coming from Exile. John Barnes must be thinking, " i got the dream team". The word on the Street however is that Whitmore must keep the job, but we wll see how much the team changes once Barnes comes in, he would be a fool to try changing anything, he just needs to work with the Magic, don't fight it, embrace it!!
The Next match will be on the 19th of November and i don't know about anyone else, but i'll be there on my teeth. I wouldnot want to be Canadian on that Day, it doesn't look good for them, after all speed kills and we do have the fastest people on earth living here, lol!!!
