Keegan Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 quote:Originally posted by nolando http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/sports/html/20090702T220000-0500_154677_OBS_BOYZ_IN_BATTLE_.asp Jamaica's probable starting team: Donovan Ricketts, Tyrone Marshall, Claude Davis, Damion Stewart, Jason Morrison, Rodolph Austin, Demar Phillips, Ricardo Gardner, Jermaine Johnson, Ricardo Fuller and Luton Shelton. This is going to be a close match that is a good line up there by the Jamaicans. There are some weak points of course though, we should look to expose Marshall. We need to keep the pressure on them all match and keep the ball away from their forwards. Win the midfield, Im confident our boys can win this match.

footballfreak Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Well, we can at least be thankful that Jair Marrufo won't be involved in making any decisions. Anyone who's seen him ref MLS games can testify that the guy is just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_Yank Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Ouch, Terry Vaughen is one of the worst referees in concacaf. It wouldn't surprise me to see this game decided on a blown call. That said, on paper it looks to be an intriging match up. Ricardo Fuller is a dangerous striker. He'll keep your backline on it's toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcl_19 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 As much as I respect what hastings has done for the nats in the past I'm glad he's not starting as I feel some of the younger guys like jakovic deserve a shot and have more upside. Don't mind diesel as captain he's got tons of experience. Based on cyprus and guat matches I'm really excited for tonites match. I love that hart gives the boys lots of freedom and I'm hoping we build of tuesdays result. My prediction is 2-1 for our boys, gerba and the guz potting for us.

Tyson M Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'll say 2-1 Reds! Gerba(PK after a foul on DeGuz in the box) Hutch(I really have a strong feeling he'll score a cracker!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Sorry if this has been covered a million times, but do we know of a website that is carrying the game live? Streaming, I assume? As for predictions, I've been feeling this all week, so it MUST be true: Pot-Smoking Rastas: 1 vs. Spliff-toking Canucks: 1 This will be a tough, tight physical battle, but I've a good feeling (which is just dumb, I know).

That's a very good question. I'm trying justintv. They say it's going to be on...but you never know. Of course if I lived in Toronto, I could watch our national team play a world game, however I live in Vancouver, so I have to watch a Toronto team play an American team in a more or less American "sport".

When you picked Canada to lose every time during WCQ it worked very badly, so predicting a draw may be good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
