Coach of the team Dwight Yorke felt the defeat to Jamaica was difficult to swallow. He felt they controlled most of the game and the result did not reflect their efforts in the match.
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.
