I was quite pleased with the workout and I saw what I wanted to see and I believe the girls are gonna make Jamaica proud.

We went with great expectations but it was always going to be a big ask. The game that I think that crushed us was the Canada game. We had that game in the bag but we made a couple mistakes and we paid dearly.

As you know we'll play the U.S. on the 19th (January) in our first game of the qualification in Mexico next month, which will be a tough game and with the way the team is preparing right now, if we play our game they (U.S.) are gonna have a hard time beating us.

We have a short time to prepare and I'm yet to select a final squad, but I'm expecting that the core group of the Under-20 girls will form the senior squad... the other girls who will join are experienced enough to fit in.

At this stage I think we have a very good chance of reaching the finals.

They didn't even take a shot to goal. We played a good game but what is killing us is the midfield. Canada play a direct game, hitting the ball long and getting in crosses.
