Only player I remember us pursuing was Hargreaves.
They do...when Jamaica poached back some of it's talent they made the WC.
With that being said the 3rd ad 4th teams in Concacaf will routinely go to the WC and get beaten badly unless they play like T&T did and play a 0-0-10 formation.
Jamaica's WC showing was alot more impressive...Croatia edged us, Argentina blowed us out, we beat Japan. 3 goals scored in total.
T&T went to the WC and never had a shot on target. Fukk em.

True, but i think you misunderstood what i was saying. I was really just pointing out the fact that, the ties between the Caribbean and England are still close, and a lot of young players go over to England to train, play in their leagues. Most would rather take a shot at playing for the three lions than playing for their fathers' country. That and like i pointed out earlier, soccer just isnt the number one sport in most of the countries in the region. I imagine if CONCOCAF was a bit stronger/more clout, we'd see a more accurate showing of the kind of talent the region possesses (more domestic talent strengthening domestic leagues so on so forth).

they are English, but their parents are Jamaican. Theo's dad is Jamaican as well.
Good Article.

What the Regggae Reggae Boyz did in 98 is no different to what Ireland were doin in the 80's and 90's. Alot of those players were born in the UK and wanted to play for England before they wanted to play for Jamaica. And if u got a chance to play in a World Cup u take it, the likes of Best and Giggs never done it.
Like Robbie Earle was get infront of the likes of Becks, Ince, Scholes, Batty, Rob Lee, Anderton McManaman Merson or Gazza

I read it
those players were born in England and were not poached.
I would even say brehs like Boateng and Ozil havent been poached by Germany, but a guy like Gerald Asamoah in the early 2000s?

You didnt see where i said maybe poached was a bad choice of words?
Thats not the main point i was trying to make
