Take Jamaica to Glory

“reggae boyz returned”

The press pack calls Jamaica the most stylish bus parked in world football, and files them as reggae boyz returned. The bookmakers put them in the improbables at 1000/1 and drifting.

The Improbables — 1000/1 and drifting

The federation's target

Compete with dignity — a point gets framed

Your spine, as your predecessor's notes describe it

In goal, a keeper with dancehall reflexes. At the back, Frank Sinclair, but serene. Running midfield, Theodore Whitmore, but in a hurry. Up front, Deon Burton, but taller.

One World Cup, forty-odd decisions, no second leg. Pick the shape, name the squad, make the calls from the touchline, and see how far Jamaica can go. Free to play, one sitting, no sign-up.
