CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers 2026

In reply to imusic

Yeah but do not underestimate Curacao. They are good.

In reply to Chrissy

We won Chrissy but our midfield is pathetic. We will struggle vs Trinidad on Tuesday.

In reply to imusic

T&T playing better in the 2nd half.

In reply to nitro


We not in a position to underestimate anybody.

Group B

Bermuda 0-4 Jamaica
Trinidad & Tobago 0-0 Curacao

Group C
Haiti 0-0 Honduras
Nicaragua 1-1 Costa Rica

Bermuda was poor and gun shy unsurprisingly in pink uniforms. Defense was a clown show
Jamaica stronger all over the park. Easy goals for JA with Bermuda clueless about marking.

Expect Curacao to be stronger at home.
Unless T&T add their own UB40 reinforcements they will struggle against JA, Curacao and Bermuda.

Any reason why Warner Brown didn’t get a game? I thought he was decent in his role. Active and looking for the goal. I was surprised he didn’t start particularly with so much missing players. Also no Demari gray . Is this a result of the cavalier guy Speid?

In reply to rudebway

Yeah, I was surprised Warner Brown did not start actually. Maybe he is carrying a slight injury, think I heard that on one of those YouTube shows.

Gray was injured in his last game before the break. There are 7 to 8 starters out for Jamaica.

Using heritage players developed in top leagues globally is making a huge difference for many countries, even those with good domestic leagues. Morocco, Senegal, Algeria, Cameroon, USA, Scotland, Wales etc all using it to great effect.

Trinidad needs to amend their 'Granny rule' to tap into this and apparently they are about to:

Granny rule to boost World Cup hopes

You can track heritage players who switched nationality AFTER playing for other countries here for 2025 YTD.

I heard so much talk about Curacao with all their players born and bred on Dutch football,well,TBH TT threw away a golden chance to start with a win,TT looked better but were just too tame.There is always a bad match for teams and that was TTs last night.

In reply to nitro

The TT government is set to amend the "granny rule" at its earliest convenience,so say Minister of Sports Phillip Watts.TT may not have the players marked out for the match against Yard but may have them against Curacao.

In reply to nitro

Dude….no amount of adopting granny rule will help T&T

We might get some help if we adopt an emergency naturalized citizen rule thereby Making eligible every member of the Venezuelan national team

In reply to imusic

The rule has made Jamaica one of thebest teams in CONCACAF.the rule also works for other teams,so there.

In reply to granite

- the Caribbean.

In reply to granite

So name the players who would be eligible for T&T of this rule were to become enacted.

Will it expand the pool of available resources? Absolutely

But will it have any significant difference to our football performances? I’m very skeptical about that.

We can’t even get our current scouting system organized properly, we think this will make a meaningful difference to a broken program?

This announcement to me is more political with govt & TTFA trying to capitalize on current interest in WCQ by making it seem “they doing something”, than actually doing something.

Which leagues?

Jamaica’s diaspora is VASTLY different than T&T’s. Even from a sheer volume standpoint.

Or maybe you believe that Ethan Nwainieri’s great grandfather was a trini.

Maybe Nico Williams’ brother would be eligible too. Little late for Lamine Yamal or else he too woulda be eligible.

In the meantime, I’ll wait for your list of eligible players.
