Jamaica staged a furious rally to earn a 2-2 draw in the first match for each in the 2015 CONCACAF Under-20 Championship on Friday at the National Stadium. The Soca Warriors struck twice in the opening 15 minutes, but Junior Flemmings fired a 23-yard free kick into the back of the net in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage to complete the comeback. Aikim Andrews gave the Trinidadians a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute, ripping a right-sided shot from 35-yards out that may have taken a deflection before it sailed over the head of goalkeeper Nicholas Nelson. Nine minutes later, Kadeem Corbin – the top scorer in the final round of Caribbean qualifying with five goals – doubled the advantage. After the break, Trinidad stayed on the front foot, nearly making it 3-0 in the 56th minute. An attempt by Kevon Goddard from 20-yards out appeared to be deflected, forcing Nelson to remain alert in order to make a save. Duane Muckette could have put the game on ice shortly afterwards, only to snap his effort – while in a one-on-one situation with Nelson – beyond the left post.

[hr] A goal from Aldo De Nigris early in the second half saw Mexico beat Jamaica 1-0 on the road in Kingston. It was the Mexicans’ first victory of the CONCACAF Hexagonal round and it sends them to the top of the six-team group, tied on points with Panama. The result leaves the Jamaicans’ hopes of qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in tatters as they are rooted to last place on two points, with only one goal to show from their four games. The home side asked most of the questions early on, pressing up in attack and looking to lone striker Ryan Johnson as their outlet. The Mexicans were content to sit back on their heels and hope for the occasional counter-attack. The first chance of any note came after 12 minutes when Monterrey target-man De Nigris snapped a header from near the penalty spot on the end of a cross from the right side. It was well handled by Jamaican goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts. [hr] [column2] [/column2] [column2_last] [/column2_last] [hr] There were precious few chances of any consequence as the half wound down, but Mexico looked short on ideas going forward, even with De Nigris, Javier Chicharito […]

[hr] Tottenham Hotspur played out an entertaining 0-0 draw with the Jamaican national team as part of their post-season trip to the Bahamas. But a 39th-minute injury to Kyle Walker soured the stalemate between Spurs and Theodore Whitmore’s side, as the defender hobbled off following a strong challenge by Evan Taylor. Andre Villas-Boas left Gareth Bale on the bench for the clash in the Bahamas, but named a strong side including Walker, Mousa Dembele, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jermain Defoe. The Portuguese’s impressive lineup was matched by his side’s laudable intent from the off, and Spurs took only seven minutes to direct a shot at goal, with Defoe narrowly hitting it over after a Lewis Holtby corner The Concacaf outfit, clearly keen to maintain a competitive edge throughout this post-season friendly, also came close within the opening 20 minutes with Jeremie Lynch and Jermaine Hue threatening Brad Friedel’s goal. [hr] [column2] [/column2] [column2_last] [/column2_last] [hr] Their pressure nearly told shortly after the half hour mark as Keammar Daly bent a superb effort onto the American’s far post, with Tottenham’s early intensity having dissipated in front of a noisy, atmospheric crowd at the Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium. Spurs were then dealt […]

1980 Bob Marley visited Brazil in preparation for a world tour. The visit was merely a scouting mission for the tour that would be happening the following year. It was a visit that would see the worlds of reggae, Brazilian music and football collide. After taking a stop in Manaus Bob headed to Rio de Janeiro where his primary aim was to play football, and if you are a musician wanting to play football in Rio de Janeiro there is only one place to go; Chico Buarque‘s private football pitch. The teams for the session were: Team A – Bob Marley, Junior Marvin (member of the Wailers), Paulo César Caju (member of the Brazil 1970 squad), Toquinho (Brazilian musician), Chico Buarque and Jacob Miller (lead singer of Inner Circle) Team B – Alceu Valença (Brazilian musician), Chicão (member of Jorge Ben’s band) and four staff from Island Records PHOTO: Back: Junior Marvin, Toquinho e um penetra.
