Reggae And Football Silences US Soccer

It was another shocking night in this edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The tournament favorites USMT were eliminated at the Semi-Final stage by a resurgent Reggae Boys. Coming off of a year where the USMT defeated the likes of Germany and the Netherlands they certainly were the favorites going into this game against the Jamaicans. 

2 excellently taken goals later and the US were staring down the barrel of a shocker not only to the team but to the home of ‘soccer’. Bradley scraped a consolation in the 48th minute to give the USMT some inkling of hope, but it was not to be. This was a football night. Playing confidently and clinically executing their coach’s game plan, the Jamaicans made sure that this was a night that the USMT would never forget.

To the Reggae Boys, the Caribbean salutes you.

P.S. it’s football not soccer.


Final score: Jamaica 2- US 1
