The Gentleman's Game - or because Jamaica does not qualify for the 2010 World Cup

A few weeks ago I went to have a beer with some friends. We visited an Irish pub and, of course, there was football on the tube. Our discussions eventually led us to new, football shocking. We made a trip to the conversation and discussion of Concacaf qualifying to qualify for most teams they were.

One of the gang members was a young Jamaican football fan and a fan desperate Jamaican national team. I confessed to him my constant frustration with the Jamaican NationalTeam. I never watched a football game to play Jamaica on TV without shouting "Shoot the ball! Shooting! STOP! SHOOOOOOOOOT!" I learned that night that I was not the only one who feels that way.

We discussed the reasons for the lack of success of Jamaica in the last 10 years. Despite their pleasant and skilled brand of football has not appeared in Jamaica's World Cup since 1998 and not before qualifying Caribbean recent past - that brings the CupAccording to the absence of the Gold Cup 2007. While certainly the social-economic factors play a role and the fact that Jamaica is not overly well-funded and a Lack of players at Their club football outside of Jamaica are national, there is something wrong.

The theory was proposed by my fellow Jamaican at the bar that regard Jamaica as a football game "gentlemen's agreement". What he meant by that, can be simplified in the sense that the Jamaican side seems to feel obliged to behave all players participate in each property and that the Jamaican defense allows the opposition the opportunity to maneuver the ball. In short, each player gets a good chance with the ball. As for a code of honor, is comparable to fight an unarmed man threw a weapon in advance.

This approach leads to creative and attractive passing football. Whenever I played football with players from Jamaica, I could be sure my ball hogging nature wouldappeased. short passes and ball control has always seemed adept in the foreground. This gives rise to all the players feel involved in games, but that is not plumb, shots, goals or victories.

Although I would be willing to decent price, Jamaica has consistently outshot by opponents outfouled bet I must admit that this topic is full of holes because of the lack of empirical evidence from a fist. For the life of me I've found shot Statistics for Jamaica in the last gamestwo years, please contact me if you find these statistics.

However, some things I support my arguments. First, my eyes. Jamaica never seems to take shots and passes the opportunities that arise. Football is nice, nice passing, but ends like a poor man Brasil.

Secondly, I have to play the results of recent years in Jamaica. Now it is possible that Jamaica is vague to 100 shots a game AMD convert any of them, butWhich is about as likely to Carlos Ruiz game goes diving.

In 2006, six international friendly match played Jamaica, only the administration to allow a victory, while the 14 goals scored compared to a paltry total of 5. In 2007, a distance of nine friendlies, Jamaica to 3 wins and scored 10 goals, while they were 17 goals and five defeats. Less than two years the record of a team ready for the World Cup.

With the reintroduction of Rene Simoes AMD on some young emergingHow to Pool and Bryan Shelton, Jamaica seems to think we have a lot of momentum towards qualifying for the last ten years.

I'm not entirely sure that this time off. Jamaica has talent and drive on it. However, to embrace a ballhog until they get the shots to stop the ball and a couple that do not qualify for the World Cup.
