He was in the under-23 squad and he was a bit disappointed he wasn't playing more. But he said he is over that now. |
I think (Gardner) has matured tremendously. And since he has been there (at Bolton) he has been a permanent fixture in terms of his performance day in day out, week in week out, year in year out. |
I thought we made one mistake and suffered the consequences. And that is all it takes whenever you play against a good team. But apart from that I thought our guys played tactically well. |
I'm pretty satisfied with it, as it relates to his performance in general and his general attitude, the level of professionalism. I think it is a shining example for our youngsters to emulate. |
It is at this age that the passion for the game must be fostered. |
Ryan Johnson, from all indications, is doing exceptionally well at the college level and now he has been drafted into the squad of Real Salt Lake and the club is quite excited that he will make a healthy contribution... |
The future looks bright from where I am standing and so as long as we can continue to find these youngsters to compete at the international level then I believe that we will be in a good position as we look ahead. |

These girls have done considerably well and what they have achieved so far will only auger well for women's football in Jamaica. |
This is part of the development... so we can look at a number of players... as we look to the game against England and beyond. |
We have to be up and running because if you look at these (other) countries, they are really placing emphasis on their youth development, so therefore the fact that we are doing that just now also and we see ourselves as the superior country, our intention is to justify that. |
We were definitely looking for the (first) win. Hopefully we thought we would have gotten it, but it was just unfortunate. We made a blatant mistake from that ball (free kick) and they converted. But overall I'm pretty satisfied with what has happened. |
We've been looking at him in the Premier League which has done a lot for him. |
We've been looking at him... in the Premier League which has done a lot for him, and like Demar, there are other players in the league that are also on the fringe of breaking into the senior squad. |
