Forget the Reggae Boyz. Call them the Beatles. Jamaica’s 1-0 win over Canada Sept. 7 in Kingston has everyone on the Caribbean island believing its World Cup dream just may become reality, and a key factor was the contribution of four Englishmen making their debut in the Hexagonal. The United States added two German products, Michael Mason and David Wagner, for the final round of qualifying. El Salvador has naturalized a Serbian and two Brazilians for World Cup duty. Jamaica has topped that, drafting four players: Deon Burton, Paul Hall, Fitzroy Simpson and Robbie Earle, all born and bred in England. Burton, the youngest at 20, had the biggest impact, striking the winning goal in the 55th minute to the delight of 35,000 fans. The win moves Jamaica into a tie for third place with Costa Rica in the Hexagonal. Jamaica, which has a game in hand on Costa Rica, can temporarily catapult ahead of the United States into second place with a win over the Ticos Sept. 14 in Kingston, where it has not conceded a goal in any of its eight World Cup qualifiers. Of the four players, all with Jamaican roots, Hall had had the biggest impact, scoring six goals in eight games since joining the team this summer for the Shell Caribbean Cup at which Jamaica finished a disappointing third. But it was Burton who was the hero against Canada. Linval Dixon, who used to play in the USISL with the Charleston Battery, put Burton through, and the player Jamaican fans have dubbed “Ronaldo” blasted the ball past Craig Forrest. Burton just joined Premier League club Derby County from Portsmouth, where he played with Hall and Simpson, who has emerged a workhorse in midfield to complement young Theodore Whitmore. Earle, who plays for Premier League club Wimbledon, came off the bench late in the game and is expected to provide valuable relief for Jamaica’s weak attack (three goals in six games). But for some great saves by Forrest, who himself recently moved from the First Division (Ipswich) to the Premier League (West Ham), Jamaica would have won by a wider margin. The win justified coach Rene Simoes’ decision to drop veteran striker Walter Boyd after Boyd made comments critical of Simoes. Simoes hoped that the media frenzy over the decision would die down. “I hope I have peace this week to work,” he said. “I hope the people in Jamaica understand this is not the Rene Simoes’ program. Talk about the game, talk about the players playing the game. Please, please give me a one-week break.”
