Do Jamaica have any hope of reaching a 48 team world cup?
Steve de ah badman an will bring di ting yaad Mek nuh mistake.
Please tell me you’re not a middle-aged white man.
It very much depends on if I expect to live past 100 so probably not. I used an online translator.
They still have the same number of teams qualifying. 3 Teams go through, 1 go through play-off.
Buuuut, since Mexico, USA and Canada have all qualified through hosting, they should have every chance.
Panama is the top-ranked contender left, followed by Costa Rica, Jamaica before a nearly-1000 point ranking points drop to Honduras, El Salvador, Haiti, Curaçao.
any truth the rumours he’s given himself the moniker “steve ‘three little birds’ mclaren”?

Ok in all seriousness, I just came back from a 15 day holiday in Montego Bay/Negril and the local Jamaicans are actually very excited by him. He’s doing crazy interviews but he’s been very candid about all the ‘So Called English PL players who have Jamaican heritage’
There’s a huge list of players the Jamaican Football Federation are targeting to try and improve their standard, there’s one in particular player that England will have nothing to do with and we all know who he is?
Other players like ; Rico Henry, Max Aaron’s, Nathan Ferguson, Lewis Baker, kido Taylor Hart, Luke Bradley Morgan, Dwight McNeil, Joel Latibeaudiere, Tyrick Mitchel, Xavier Benjamin And Even Emille Smith Rowe who played his 3 caps for England while he was 21 or younger so theoretically he would be a borderline case to whether he could play for Jamaica from 2025.
Right now Morgan Gibbs still qualifies for Jamaica, Some have switched already, but bet on McClaren trying do Republic Of Ireland two with an England B Team featuring Young English men that have an affinity to a Caribbean island.
2-3 good players there who I hope they manage to entice. No way they're getting McNeil, Gibbs-White and ESR though. McNeil's surely playing himself into an England cap soon. Gibbs-White already has one in a Nations League match and I doubt he's in a rush to switch.
