The 2008 Caribbean Championship or the Digicel Caribbean Championship is currently ongoing in Jamaica from December 3 to December 14.

Why do I post this = TFC is scouting it.

As is Houston, and a Dynamo rep is my source.

The significance of this competition is that the four semifinalists qualify for the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Grp A = Aruba, Grenada and Netherlands Antilles;

Grp B = Dominica, Guyana and Suriname;

Grp C = Antigua & Barbuda, Bermuda, Caymen Islands and Saint Martin;
