00:05Arabia 3-1 and Jamaica losing to the US 4-2. Now the two teams face each other

00:11with everything to play for towards a new campaign. The last time the two

00:15teams met they played a goalless draw and so it's a case of reviving a

00:24grateful that Jamaica has agreed to welcome here to certainly to play these

00:30two friendlies it's a collaboration between the two countries we know the

00:48game. York says it's an opportunity to introduce new players. We introduce

00:52again it gives us an opportunity as a backroom staff myself to work with these

00:57players even in a very short period of time is to sort of not bet but to have a

01:03look at the the local players in a more close-up environment and certainly

01:10coming into Jamaica doesn't get much more hostile in this but again to see

01:14the character of the players and certainly to try and bring them out to

01:18get that experience going into the campaign ahead. Defender Josiah Trimmingham who

01:22plays in Jamaica says it's a different vibe and he's looking forward to the

01:26opportunity. In Jamaica the fan base itself really is gigantic you know and

01:33that's what brings out the passion in the football to have fans that are back

01:40in here in every parish as they call it in Jamaica so I mean the football over

01:46here and have been very good the experience I've been I've been really

01:52well really good you know and playing for Montego Bay have been a great
