Those guys better hope nobody scores on them, because their mid and attack don't seem to know wtf they're doing. I'm not going to lie, it is comical watching them attack.

On one play I jokingly said... "watch, I bet you he's going to dribble the ball straight out of bounds," I was being sarcastic, so we just laughed... and sure enough, he makes his first touch, and starts dribbling the ball straight out of bounds... He didn't make it to the touch, because he fell flat on his face before he reached it.

My imagination ran wild watching Jamaica. I sat there thinking, these guys have played way over their heads (they have, considering size and resources relative to their peer group). I wondered what kind of backgrounds they came from ... and what kind of coaching they have had and currently have on their national team. beyond the back four, who defended admirably despite being maybe unconventional, I couldn't tell what the hell they were doing. That said, they had their chances to score (even if it was just numbers in the box and an open net) and in a way, Mexico is lucky to get their first win of the year. Ricketts putting in a decent cross from about 40 yards out was classic ... I just wish I'd seen the whole field to appreciate what he was doing there.
