As if it wasn't enough with newly capped Jamaica international Michail Antonio heading to North America for a trio of matches just four weeks on from making his Reggae Boyz debut, but Pablo Fornals is playing in the Nations Cup, England's failure to reach the closing stages of the 'B' competition means most fans don't even remember the competition ever existed?

Jamaica first travel to Texas to take on the United States of America on Thursday, October 7th before a home match against Canada on Sunday and an away clash with Honduras on Wednesday evening, good for Mikey's air miles, not so good for his Hammies we would suggest!
The very fact that there are THREE different sets of tournament qualifiers going on is mind boggling, so you shouldn't feel bad about not knowing who is playing for what, it's not dementia, it's just the greedy needs of World Football administrators. After all, someone has to pay for their luxury apartments and new Tesla's don't they?

The 'need for greed' threatens the well being of players who, irrespective of the vast wages they receive, are only sportspersons and do not have limitless physical and mental strength. The Covid crisis is the main culprit for the ridiculously congested schedules players are having to negotiate, but take out the need for greed fixtures and at least SOME players will get a little extra R&R ahead of the REALY important games. - LN
