00:00Coach of the national football team Dwight York felt disappointed with the loss to Jamaica.
00:05He thinks they had done enough to at least earn a point and not getting a goal after netting three offside efforts affected the mindset of the players.
00:12Yeah, listen, you get deflated at some point, right? You can't score three goals away from home and one of them not count at some stage.
00:20It's a defining moment in the game. We all know that goals really change the momentum in the game and we felt we scored a genuine goal for the staff.
00:26We felt also that a penalty we should have gotten and then that wasn't given.
00:32So when you're constantly getting rejected, I can understand and I'm not saying we really have conceded that we give them the first goal.
00:42You look at we've been dominating the games, you look at the database and when we looked at everything else, we control the game away from Jamaica.
00:51They've been given two chances, certainly from our side and they took those two chances.
00:55So from that perspective, we are hugely disappointed. But clearly, we are scratching our head how Jamaica taken three points from us.
01:05York added that he has not looked back at the goals, but he is focusing on their games ahead.
01:11Well, one thing for sure, there's 12 points to play for. I don't think Jamaica will be thinking that they're in the clear as yet.
01:17They got Curaçao and I know they beat Bermuda, but Curaçao is a very good team and they will find that out when they play against.
01:23And I think Curaçao will get a lot of encouragement. They're there playing for their own opportunity as well.
01:30I'm not sure how the game finished up tonight.
01:32So they won 3-2. So they got everything to play. So that game will be a real nip and top.
01:38We've got to make sure that when we come together again, that we take care of the games in front of us.
01:43That's all we can concentrate. We can't change the dynamics of the results now, but what we can control is what's in front of us.
01:49Beating Bermuda is at the top of his agenda.
01:52Of course, we play Bermuda next. They're coming off a two defeat.
01:56So I would say, looking at it from our point of view, that it's a must-win game to get us back into the thick of things.
02:04But it's certainly not over. There's a lot of points to be played. We know how quickly football changes.
02:09Despite the 2-0 result, York said he is proud of his players, but felt they were gifting chances to their opponents and it's coming back to hurt them.
02:16He vowed to never give up until they no longer stand a chance of qualifying for the World Cup.
