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.
