If we get positive result against CR...Allll aboard.
Gate man ahlahf.
So Pressa, a so u do it? just like back in 97' RFK Stadium RAM with jamaicans when it became evident that Jam had a chance to qualify for WC98. A brederen a mine who was living in Jamaica during that time said when Jam played Mex at the Natl Stadium the lines for Tickets almost wrapped around the Stadium. Where are they now? I bet at least half the jamaicans that followed the our WC98 Run haven't seen jamaica play since then or bought a Team jersey.

Cummings Called to Jamaica Team
Omar Cummings has been called in for two matches for Jamaica in September German Sferra August 27, 2010 Omar Cummings with Jamaica in '09_DL
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Omar Cummings has been called up by the Jamaican National Team for two international friendly matches next month, though he will only be available for one of the games.
The Reggae Boyz host Costa Rica on September 5 at the National Stadium in Jamaica and then face Peru at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on September 7. Cummings will miss the game in Jamaica but will join the team ahead of the Peru match.
“The (Jamaica) Federation understands that I can’t travel outside the country right now,” said Cummings. “But they would like for me to be at the second game in Florida.”
Cummings respectfully declined the invitation for the September 5 match, since he is in the final stages of receiving his United States permanent residency (green card) and can’t leave the U.S. during this process.
The 28-year missed Jamaica’s 3-1 win at Trinidad earlier this month for the same reason. The game versus Peru will be Cummings first appearance for Jamaica since a 2-1 loss at Argentina in February.
“I’m always excited to play for the national team,” said Cummings. “This will be my first game in a while so hopefully it will be a positive one.”
Cummings will not miss any games with the Rapids as a result of the call up. Colorado host Chivas USA on September 4 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park and then travel to New York to face the Red Bulls on September 11.
He has 17 career caps and has scored three goals for the Jamaica National Team since his debut in 2008.
Team will have a practice session on Monday evening at The Holiday Inn in Sunrise.
Ites,
No school on Monday, so bring di yutes by the practice to watch our professionals train and maybe even get a few autographs and pictures with the top stars from the USL, MLS, Tippelagen and DPL.

Fans will see a Peru side that has ascended from 91st a year ago to No. 39 today in the FIFA rankings, even though they have not played since last September.
However, Peru finished last of 10 teams in South American qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. Sergio Markarian took over after that woeful performance and for his first game has named a 22-man roster to face Canada. Peru then face Jamaica on Sept. 7.
Peru are led by AC Fiorentina midfielder Juan Vargas, Schalke 04 striker Jefferson Farfán and Lech Poznan striker Hernán Rengifo. But missing are Werder Bremen striker Claudio Pizarro and striker Johan Fano of Atlante, who had three goals in qualifying.
“Offensively, they’re a very nice team and can potentially be a very difficult team to play against,” Hart said. “So we will have to adapt very quickly and play the game in such a way that, hopefully, we can dictate how the game goes.”
Reggae Boyz supporters need to turn out and support the game. I had talk with the promoter and he said that if the Jamaican turn out is good then he will bring Columbia to play the Boyz here in Ft Lauderdale.

put me on your buddy list I will be more than happy to do the same .
I watched Peru beat Canada 2-0, and I must say that Markarian has them looking like a changed squad. They are playing with higher tempo, and quicker passing than they have for a few years. And while Canada is not a true test of their improvement, I think that Peru will be strong opponents for us. Farfan was in excellent form, but because he played the entire game I think that he will be rested for Tuesday, as will a few others. We should have a good chance to beat them because of this.
Match Report of Canada v. Peru from Canada's website.
Canada's men's national team fell to Peru on a pair of second-half goals in tonight's Men's International Friendly match. The South American visitors won 2:0 on goals by Jose Carlos Fernandez and Jean Tragodara.
Canada went 1-0 down when a headed clearance out of the Canadian defence didn’t make it far enough out of danger and the ball landed at the foot of Peru forward Jefferson Farfan at the edge of the penalty box. A slick Peruvian backheel pass and a moment of Canadian miscommunication resulted in a chipped cross from Reimondo Manco that floated to the edge of Canada’s six-yard box. Six-foot-four Fernandez outjumped goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld to head the ball into the open Canadian goal.
Peru’s second goal came from some quick passing through the midfield four minutes later. Tragodara collected the ball just inside the Canadian half and laid it off to Roberto Guizasola. Targodara then streaked behind the Canadian defence and collected a return pass before taking one touch to slot the ball past Hirschfeld.
With this match, veteran defender Stalteri tied Randy Samuel’s national record of 82 appearances. He needs one more appearance to break the record, which could happen as earlier as 7 September when Canada faces Honduras at Montréal’s Stade Saputo.
With 22 years having passed since Canada and Peru last met at this level — a 3:1 victory for Canada - they spent the opening minutes in front of the 10,619 supporters feeling each other out.
A barging run from Dwayne De Rosario led to a Canadian free kick just outside the Peru penalty box in the 16th minute. Showing some confidence, defender Marcel de Jong blazed his left-footed shot over Raul Fernandez’s crossbar.
Unfortunately this would be de Jong’s last contribution as he went down with a shoulder injury in the 28th minute during a challenge with Santiago Acasiete. De Jong was replaced by Jaime Peters.
It wasn’t until after the half-hour mark that things opened up somewhat with both sides trading decent scoring opportunities.
Hirschfeld was the first goalkeeper called into duty when he blocked a hard and low shot from Peru captain Juan Manuel Vargas in the 31st minute.
Two minutes later, Toronto FC midfielder Dwayne De Rosario tested Peru’s Fernandez with a shot from 25 yards. Fernandez fumbled but was able to smother the rebound with Rob Friend standing on his doorstep.
Simeon Jackson showed off his pace playing out in the right wing and created an opportunity for himself to open the scoring just before half but his low shot was saved by Fernandez.
Head coach Stephen Hart felt his squad had a solid first 45 minutes, but struggled after half time. “In the second half, we became careless with the ball and seemed to die physically; the Peruvian team sped up their play.”
Hart's starting XI featured Lars Hirschfeld in goal, Marcel de Jong at left back, Adam Straith and Kevin McKenna at centre back, Paul Stalteri at right back, Atiba Hutchinson, Julian de Guzman, Dwayne De Rosario, Will Johnson and Simeon Jackson from the midfield up, and Rob Friend at the very top.
After the match, Hart praised the South American visitors for a strong performance. “I liked how they played, how they adjusted in the second half,” he said. “It’s a quality team we played against. We learned some lessons today.”
