JAMAICA, AFTER ensuring qualification for the 2005 Gold Cup in July, now have to tend to the task of winning US$100,000 for capturing the Digicel Caribbean Football Union Championship this evening.
Going into the final game against Cuba at 5:00 p.m, the Jamaicans are tied with their Caribbean neighbours on six points.
As it stands, while Cuba and the Reggae Boyz are on the same number of points, the former's 3-0 victory over Barbados gives them a plus-four goal difference over Jamaica's plus two.
This means that they only need a draw to hold on to the title of Caribbean Champions.
Many pundits have speculated that the Jamaicans are good for their No. 1 ranking and should hold on to the title easily.
However, there are others that have seen the pace of the Cubans and feel that the Jamaicans with slow defenders, might have trouble.
In speaking to Jamaica's captain Andy Williams yesterday, the pace of the Cubans was something that his team had noted.
"They are a disciplined team and they are very fast. They have a lot of pace. It's been a while since we've played against Cuba so I hope that we can go out and play a good game," Williams said.
Williams believes his side has what it takes to go all the way in a game that holds high importance in the minds of the players.
"It'll be a big plus because most of these guys haven't won anything coming up and even I haven't won that many trophies with Jamaica so this is a big step for the players and the federation," said Williams.
Williams has had a good run in the tournament as his long goalscoring drought came to an end with two goals in the past two matches, even though that is not the midfielder's main aim.
"Anything is possible," he said when asked whether or not there were more goals on the horizon.
"But my job is not necessarily to score goals, it is to create. So as long as I do that I'll be satisfied," he said.
The doubters of the talent within the new-look Reggae Boyz found credence in their beliefs when the team only managed a 1-0 victory over Barbados that could have gone awry had the 10-man Bajan team had a little more luck.
However, Williams, said: "There's nothing wrong with the way the team attacks. Even though we sat back, we still had chances to score yesterday. It's just that we didn't see it fit to go out 100 per cent and risk a counter attack, so we sat back.
"They were the ones that needed to get a win. I think the team played well in doing what was necessary and that was to get three points," said Williams.
