CanadaFan123 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 The Gold Cup is clearly more prestigious, given that the nations league acts as qualifiers to it there really isn’t a question. Goal_Kick and johnyb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it being that clear cut. Yes, NL is a qualifier for the GC, but it's also a qualifier for the NL final four, which is really what we are talking about here. Nobody gets a trophy for the group stage and the final four is in a separate window and feels very much like a separate event, likely by desgin. Thie NL group stage are qualifiers for the 2 biggest conacaf events: GC and NL Final Four. This is how I see it. Since the teams competing in the final four are the best teams in the region, separated from the minnows by multiple months and windows, it feels prestegious to me and so I go back and forth about which one is actually most important right now. I see arguments for both and for me one isn't clearly more important thab the other. Goal_Kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Honduras, they only have a single game this window for NL. Like us, Mexico have 2 games with travel. By the way, how good is Kaheem Parris? Have never seen him play but noticed he's been with Dynamo Kiev for a while now, which suggests to me he's a good player. Yet, we never hear about him. Case of just overlooking talent? I feel the same goes with Levi Garcia at AEK Athens and (to a lesser extent because he's more well known I feel) Shamar Nicholson with Spartak Moscow.

Bigandy Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Clark Lembisika Pinnock Lowe Bell Reed Paris Morrison Bailey Nicholson Lowe Prem - 5 Championship - 2 MLS - 2 Russia - 1 Ukraine - 1 Missing - Antonio, Gray, Flemmings, Ximines, Roberts, Splatt, Cassanova, Hutchinson (all are either div 1 europe or prem prospects) It seems like jamaica has more players in europe than we do. Our best are way better than their best, and our floor is higher than theirs, but there is a case to be made that the jamaica starting 11 on paper is similar to us.

He’s alright, I don’t rate him as much as I do Nicholson but that could be based on opportunity. He’s a victim of numbers game with guys like Gray, and Antonio being preferred. Shamar has also fell into this as well, although he would still get called up he was forced out wide, when he’s more of a classic #9. Issue with Jamaica is they have similar players even without Michail and Andre being in the squad between Burke and Shamar. Big 6’4 strikers…Kaheem Paris is faster, and plays in behind vs the others.

And Lambert isn’t it. I trust you know more about the jamaican team than I do, but my uneducated line up just differs by 2 players so still quite a few prem/championship players. My point though is we have corbeanu, Kone and jebbison as prospects in first/second div of england. (plus some GK). However, that's really it at this point. Jamaica has loads of prem prospects. Obviously most will likely flame out, but I am surprised that jamiaca isnt better since they have so many prem players (both prospects and veterans).
