I am one of those rare Englishmen that likes to see other ‘home nations’ qualify for big tournaments, so that went well this past week.
You just know that Lloyd Jones would have won that header against Edin Džeko at that late corner!

Jamaican drew 0-0 in Kingston with the 171 square-mile island of Curaçao and it will be them that go onto next year’s finals.

The Irish had a tremenduous result, any football fan unless you were Hungarian had to have enjoyed that on Sunday. I loved seeing Conor Coventry leading the chase of Troy Parrott down the pitch.

That is a huge storm, stronger winds than Hurricane Katrina for example, which devastated New Orleans in 2005 and killed 1,392 people.

The 3rd change kit features “a striking charcoal base, complemented by a yellow, green and black trim on the cuffs and the collar. Yellow and green strips alternate down each side of the shirt, continuing through the shorts.”

I am sure Michael Hector pushed the recommendation but national coach Heimir Hallgrímsson (that well known Jamaican!) has them playing at a really high level and the Reggie Boyz are currently ranked the best team in the Caribbean.
