I think playing St. Vincent will be more beneficial for the Reggaeboyz coaching staff.
St. Vincent will be playing Canada 12 days later in a qualifier. This will give simoes a better insight on the Canadian team......IMO.

Boyz get busy
... to play five int'l games in 16 days in June
BY SEAN A WILLIAMS Assistant Sports Editor
Friday, May 09, 2008
Following a dry spell in May, the Reggae Boyz will be pushed hard next month when they play five international games in 16 days.
The tight schedule includes three friendly matches against Caribbean opponents. On June 3, the Boyz will host St Vincent and the Grenadines (ranked No 114 by FIFA) at 'The Office'.
They then take on Trinidad & Tobago (No 89) in the second leg of a two-match series in Port-of-Spain on June 7, before departing the following day for a meeting with Grenada (No 142) on June 10 in that country. The first game of the Soca Warriors/Boyz series ended 2-2 in Kingston in late March.
Completing the five-match agenda is the CONCACAF World Cup-qualifying tie against the Bahamas (No 165), starting on June 15 at the National Stadium, with the second leg three days later at the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium, marking a glorious return of international football to the north-west of the island.
President of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), Captain Horace Burrell, said the packed timetable is aimed primarily at giving technical director, Brazilian Rene Simoes, a broad view of his stock of players in a competitive environment.
"Not being able to play the number of games we would have liked prior to the World Cup qualifiers, we decided to play as many as we could get on short notice.
"One has to remember all so that we have a large contingent of players, most of them are overseas-based, and the coach will now have a good opportunity to see the players at work as a team, so these three games will ensure he (Simoes) and his team get a chance to pick the best 11 for the World Cup qualifiers," he said.
Burrell, a CONCACAF Executive Committee member, said some 18 foreign-based players, most of them from England and other parts of Europe, are expected in the island by the latest May 25, to begin a training camp leading up to the five matches.
"Most of our overseas-based players will be available for selection as by then the English leagues will be on a break. At least 18 overseas-based players are expected to be in the island by the 25th of May for a training camp going into the first game against St Vincent," noted the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) senior vice-president.
Burrell, on his second stint as president of the JFF, dismissed suggestions that staging three friendly matches in such quick succession ahead of a crucial World Cup-qualifying tie, could be a risky exercise.
"I don't see it as a major risk in terms of potential injuries as there are several players to be tried in different positions and this will give us the ideal opportunity to select the best," he explained.
But high quality games have not been easy to come by as the hard-working Burrell team is being severely hampered by the nation's humiliating slip in the FIFA World Ranking which showed the Boyz have dropped to an all-time low of 105.
"This is indeed a major challenge for the JFF and we expect the slippage to continue as we would not have played any games in May. However, when the June rankings are released I expect that we would have made a positive move. I expect that we would start climbing, having played these five games in one month, which is unprecedented for us," Burrell noted.
The charismatic businessman says he is optimistic that the team's positive move will spawn the interest of stronger opposition, and he expects to have "good news" soon.
"Already we are trying to get stronger opponents for Jamaica...we have made contact with some countries, we are talking, and it's just a matter of time before we finalise these discussions," he said.
Meanwhile, Burrell said he is expecting "positive words" from the England-based Virgin Atlantic Airways after approaching the carrier at its London headquarters for a concession on airline tickets for England-based players on its UK to Jamaica route.
"I expect that in a matter of days we will hear from them, and I am expecting a favourable response based on our presentation and how it was received by the airline's representatives," said Burrell.
Virgin Atlantic had promised the JFF a response in two weeks, and that time would expire today.

This is excellent preparation for the players as Simoes will have a large squad together for three weeks, so everyone will get a chance to prove their worth at sometime. Their should also be no complaints about need a break since most of our players have a 6-month international match break in 2007.

In comparison to our North American neighbours we are playing weaker opponents but let us take it one match at a time.

Some more positive news is that most of the league in Europe will be on break/offseason during Euro 2008. So Simoes will have the players from Norway and Sweden available. Now, let us see how the MLS and USL clubs comply with fifa rules, except Marshall, Thomas, Richards, and Williams to get a fight.

I would like us to test Puerto Rico. They have really been on the move recently. They beat Bermuda twice in 4 days. They got held by Trinidad. I hope they pass Honduras but Class will be held up
