Mark these words, one of the best benefactors of Simoes and Burrell will be women's football. The u17 ladies have progressed to the concacaf final round and the olympic team has an important series against cuba to advance. Simoes has good background working with women's team in Brazil.

What do you mean 'one of the best benefactors of Simoes and Burrell will be women's football"? Didn't he just lock down the programme? You must not be listening, but there's no money in Women's football!

Coach warns Reggae Girlz against complacency
published: Tuesday | November 27, 2007
Keisha Hill, Staff Reporter
REGGAE GIRLZ coach Charles Edwards is warning his players not to take Cuba lightly, on the eve of the team's departure to the Spanish-speaking Caribbean country for Olympic qualifiers for next year's Games in Beijing, China.
Edwards started coaching the national team at mid-year after Vin Blaine stepped down.
"The Cubans must not be underrated. They are generally a hard running team but we are up to the challenge."
The Jamaicans will depart tomorrow for a two-way schedule with matches on Thursday, November 29 and Saturday, December 1.
It should have been a home and away series but Jamaica have given up home advantage due to lack of funds, but Edwards remains confident Jamaica can overcome the Cubans in their own country.
Preparation
He said: "We have a good chance of qualifying for the Olympics. What will determine us qualifying though is not how physically prepared the team is but their mental preparation. But once we play our game we will advance to the qualification finals."
The winner of the two-way series will advance to the six-nation CONCACAF Final Round qualifiers, which will be held from April 2-18 at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario in Chihuahua, Mexico. Trinidad and Tobago have already qualified for the play-offs, along with defending champion the United States, Canada, hosts Mexico and Costa Rica.
The top two will advance to the Olympics in Beijing.
The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) yesterday named an 18-member team for the Cuban assignments.
The team is:
Captain Tanesia Vassell, Peatria Campbell, Nikkeshia Thomas, Monique Price, Shereca Stevens, Christina Murray, Janice Rennalls, Jennifer Williams, Alicia James, Latoya Panton, Marcille McBean, Jodi-Ann McGregor, Christina Chang, Iesha Mowatt, Tashana Vincent, Venicia Reid, Kenesha Reid, Nadola Chase.
Under-17 qualify
(CMC):
Favourites Jamaica clinched qualification from Group A of the Caribbean Football Union women's Under-17 World Cup qualifying series after they defeated the Cayman Islands 2-1 in the final round of matches played at the YASCO Complex here, on Saturday night. The win means that the Jamaicans finished top of the standings with the maximum nine points from their three matches.
Vanessa Ramsay gave the young Reggae Girlz the lead after 11 minutes, before The Cayman Islands added to their misery when they scored an own goal after 64 minutes. The Caymanians managed to pull a goal back through Shenel Gall on 78 minutes.

Kirkieb, as per Jamatl, it was a temporary shut down.
How can I get a job with the JFF working with the Women's Programme? No, not coaching!

Burrell do the right thing. Shut down the women and youth programs or reduce them to little more than a recreational pursuit. Fi right now just send them to tournaments fi represent and for the experience.
I could see the man ah no fool, him know who him ah deal with. Jamaicans believe every dollar necessary, not available, should be invested to mek the woman team competitive, every dollar necessary should be invested to insure the youth teams are successful, and every dollar should be invested to ensure the Boyz win the WC, but nobody stop to consider where all those dollars are suppose to come from.
Burrell reputation is tied to the success of the senior "men" team and that is where he needs to concentrate the limited resources. I commend him for having the vision to see the forest from the tree and the smarts to blunt any irrational-exuberance towards the other teams which would only mean wasting resources he doesn't have trying to live up to expectations.
Which event would create the most buzz amongst Jamaicans and boost Burrell image even more? The women team winning the women WC or the Boyz making it to South Africa? Nuff said.
By the way which woman team won the last WC? Which 2 teams were in the finals? And in what country was the WC played in? Same for the youth teams. No research please.
I have the answer. Who cares?

pepepapa, how yuh a move suh...
Hypothetically speaking, if you had two daughters playing on the team you would have wanted their matches canceled right?
You are acting as if women sport doesn't count or the women should only be looked upon when the men team crash and burn.
I'm glad that you are not in power... I could see you denying a woman's right to vote.

The reality of the situation is that the JFF does not have the resources to support all these teams.
Remove your emotion from the equation and tell me what would you suggest they do? And what do you think they are going to do?
That's not difficult either, the last time I checked they were paying $1mil per to Bora to coach the senior "men" team. What was the combined salary for the women and youth coaches? That should give you an indication.
I posted those questions at the end of my previous post not to demean the ladies or the youths, but to show that if you remove your emotions the decision is a relatively easy one.
When you say I am acting as if the women sport doesn't count or that the ladies should only be looked on after the men crash and burn you are actually reversing my thinking. I believe that a consistently competitive senior "men" team is the backbone that can support and invigorate the whole football programme. I don't think the reverse is true.
If this is the case and you have limited resources what do you do?
Those are the cold facts, it has nothing to do with women's right to vote. Actually I might grant women the right to vote over the men.

HAVANA, Cuba - Jamaica took a step toward advancing to the Women's Football Olympic CONCACAF final round with a 1-0 victory over Cuba in the first of their two-game play-off series yesterday at the Pedro Marrero Estadio.
The Reggae Girlz could have easily killed off the tie but missed a series of goal-scoring opportunities in a dominant yet but below-par performance.
Substitute Christina Murray scored in the 62nd minute to give Jamaica a crucial away goal in what was supposed to be a home-and-away tie.
Jamaica will be the home team on Saturday in the return leg.
Winning coach, Charles Edwards, was clearly not satisfied, but thought his team is a cut above the Cubans and should come through come Saturday when they are more relaxed after the jet lag.
Said Edwards: "We really played a poor game, but somehow I can attribute it to jet lag, flying out yesterday, a lot of delays and got in after 11:00 pm in the hotel and eating very late.
"We tried something to loosen the players, but they kept coming to the sideline complaining about tight muscles. I think it's a fair comment to attribute jet lag to our poor performance.
"Overall the game was poor, but I think we're a cut above Cuba. Even though we played poor we still dominated and could have scored more goals," said Edwards.
"The only comfort I can extract from this game is that we are a cut above them and we should be playing at a higher level come Saturday. It's not something we're going to sit down and relax on," he added.
In front of approximately 3,000 spectators, Edwards gave Christina Chang her debut, while top striker Venicia Reid started alongside Tashana Vincent up front.
Jennifer Williams made a return and was the sweeper in a 5-3-2 formation.
Jamaica took control early and after only three minutes, Vincent received a pass from Reid and shot inches wide from 12 metres out.
Midfield ace Alicia James then shot high from inside the box before Reid saw her right-sided cross graze the top of the crossbar.
Wing-back Janice Rennalls got by behind the Cuban backline but failed to pull the trigger from well inside the box. Rennalls' third foray saw her skip by a defender and was pulled back. The first assistant immediately signalled a foul but somehow Aruban referee, Monique Ras, gave the resulting kick outside of the box to the amazement of everyone inside the stadium.
That was just one of her many poor decisions in the game. Ras was probably having a bad referee day, but she wasn't the only one - her assistants were equally baffling.
Sadly, the match commissary had no substitute referee available, but it was a pathetic display by the officiating team.
"We should have gotten two penalties, and the officiating was just poor and you could see where the referees where extending sympathies to Cuba being a smaller, less talented team.
"This is something we see over and over again in the Caribbean where the officiating tends to lean to the weaker teams," noted Edwards.
The coach introduced Christina Murray for the 16-year-old left back Monique Price in the 55th minute as Jamaica sought to step up the tempo for the breakthrough, which they finally achieved.
Murray, looking composed, scored a beauty in the 62nd minute. She played a one-two with Jodi-Ann McGregor before turning inside a defender and driving a rasping shot past goalkeeper Kirenia Cabrera.
The Cuban spirit wilted as Vincent, McGregor and Reid got chances to increase the lead and effectively kill off the two-way tie.
The Reggae Girlz then began playing beautiful football as the home fans had little or nothing to cheer about and were subdued by the dominant Jamaicans.
But with 15 minutes remaining, the Cubans sprung to life and saw Yumirbi Arbolaez shoot just wide with the Jamaican goalkeeper well off her line.
But the Reggae Girlz regained their composure and saw off the Cuban attack easily.
Cuban coach, Rufino Reyes, said he knew Cuba would be facing a team with a good resume.
"This a future team and we knew it would be difficult for us," he said.
Jamaica - 13-Nikeisha Thomas, 16-Tanesia Vassell, 03-Jennifer Williams, 15-Marcilee McBean, 06-Janice Rennalls (08-Kenesha Reid 79th), 05-Monique Price (17-Christina Murray 55th), 09-Alicia James, 11-Jodi-Ann McGregor, 14-Christina Chang, 10-Tashana Vincent, 07-Venicia Reid.
Subs not used: 01-Peatricia Campbell, 12-Leasha Mowatt, 19-Latoya Panton, 18-Nadola Chase, 04-Shareca Stevens.
Cuba - 01-Kirenia Cabrera, 03-Yuthila Rodriquez, 06- Yunelsi Baez, 16-Yaimara Mena, 05-Maretsi Merladet, 18-Yudisleivi Hernandez, 10-Yohania Olampo, 15-Yoanna Negrin, 20-Yibel Llanes, 08-Yezenia Martinez, 17-Yumirbi Arbolaez.

I have the answer. Who cares?
Mi nuh normally curse still but dis was some of the biggest crap i have ever heard first of all women soccer is twice as big as mens soccer in the states and it is a matter of time before it becomes a key part of Jamaica as well... who cares I do I have been coaching female football long before Jamaica even think fi have a reputable program and mi always look forward to the day when we have a female program I have recruited for some of the biggest D1 colleges in the states for some time and I see what a key role football play in the lives of some of the girls believe it or not they love it just as much as we do and deserve a fair shot at glory for our nation as well in terms of funds that is crap we would probably end up paying more in fines than it would cost we have money but as you say we a save it fi do what we waan do wid it not what wi suppose to use it fah....to go to the tournament play recreation haha (trust mi a nuh laugh mi a laugh needa).
In terms of Burrell doing the right thing to temporarily shut down the program is crap let me tell you something about being in charge of a football program (JFF) all good leaders have to be impartial you cannot just focus on one side of the national program only if that be the case then I guess JT is right he is definately not the man fi di job how do you know what the female program can do if it not given a fair chance to prosper dont give the program a basket fi carry water and yet dem still manage fi get good results.
My daughter is one of the best players at my club she is in the US ODP (OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM) national team program and believe it or not a JA she a go play fa when di time come because we need fi tek pride ina we tings and support it so it can build not not bruk it dung
Jah know mi daaak right ya now suh mi caan even type fi real just think bout things before u talk we not even tap into we ovaseas base player full pool yet jus wait mi promise u a go eat u words bout the female program.
mi bex iyah mi bex
