Obinna Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Just now, SpursFlu said: Anyone heard talk that Mason Greenwood might join Jamaica? Yup I have heard it. Not sure if it's just wishful thinking or if there's something to it, but the Jamaicans are definitely talking about it. He and Reiss Nelson, who has seemingly stuck around at Arsenal, which says a lot about him. Different position, but on paper Nelson would be a "Balogun" level recruit for Jamaica. Downside is that he's another winger. What a player to bring off the bench though if Gray or Bailey need a rest. As for Greenwood, well he's at Getafe now and he's got more La Liga goals than Larin so far. Obviously the ceiling is massive for that guy. On paper he would be the biggest get possible for Jamaica. The fans don't seem perturbed one bit about his case. I don't know a whole lot about it, but I will state the obvious and say there is/was massive hate for the guy, so I can totally see him getting booed heavily playing in USA or Canada, unless sentiment has changed (which I don't imagine it has). Again though, wide forward where they are stacked. Greenwood, Bailey, Gray and Nelson would give Jamaica the best wide options in CONCACAF, no question.

lamptern Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) That CONCACAF5 looks more glaring in Messi’s hand when I am thinking it should have been “Canada” instead. What a shame…… Edited December 9, 2023 by lamptern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chile out of pot 3 was a bit tough on the tough side so maybe it balances out. Either way we have 3 very interesting and 2 winnable games I won't claim to be the expert on south america, but based on the opinions out there Chile and Peru are geriatric. Obviously they have the know-how to navigate these situations, Chile especially. Meanwhile, our naiveity is our achellies heel. BUT if we learned anything from the World Cup and this recent loss to Jamaica, we will show some maturity and growth against both teams, if we get to the tournament of course. johnyb, costarg, MtlMario and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpursFlu Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Chile & Peru sit 8th & 10th in WC qualifying I would put them both around Panama at the moment Will be both very difficult games but I think we could win either. If we can make it.. I think its good we play Argentina first so we get use to the style of play. Obviously 6 or 4 pts is the goal. The crossover is with the Mexico group.. which I think is the weakest group. Maybe the toughest group in that anything can happen but will probably have the weakest group winner Edited December 9, 2023 by SpursFlu johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the ability to beat them but need to put in a very good effort to do so. We also need to beat T&T, first. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAVIERF Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Canada must beat the Trinis , Yorke playing no more, anywho, But Argentina doesn't play anything like Peru nor Chile , Uruguay and Argentina play similar , maybe Paraguay , Peru and Chile are similar and so. Bolivia with lesser players , Brazil is unique. And then the northern countries Colombia , Ecuador and Venezuela are similar . That's how it has always been. Brazil the Portuguese South America Bolivia Chile Peru the Pacific trench region, Colombia Ecuador and Venezuela the Caribbean South America Uruguay Paraguay and Argentina the southern America Rioplatense-south Atlantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we will know how to lose to Argentina as well. jsmith, Unnamed Trialist, xabuep2 and 3 others 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAl Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Enquiries have started about a small Canada section in Atlanta for the Argentina game (if we make it). Expect to shell out at least USD 500 per ticket in a supporters section. For reference, some nosebleed seats are going for over $2,000 each on StubHub. The other two games against Peru and Chile should be much more reasonably priced johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
