They are awful, league 2 or National league. He should do well for them.

4 goals in the league from open play since 26th September 2021. Would love to find the post where I said I would have any other first choice striker from any other PL team and see the replies…

In 30yrs time I think it will be a great memory for him that he won't forget. Would be mad not to experience international football if you can.
Also, he is making his parents and grandparents very happy by representing their country. That's an amazing thing to be able to give back.
Its not his fault the club dont want to buy a back up striker. Its not like we cant afford one.

Can anyone REALLY blame Micky for this?
Southgate, that rabbit in a waistcoat, never picked him (imagine if he got the last twenty minutes against Italy) and for all we know his mum, who has been there for him throughout his career (and stopped him going to tottingham) was born in Jamaica?
If I was a footballer in the the autumn of my career and I had a chance of playing international football I'd take it. You only get one go around the block in life and he's seized it.
Good for him.

I selfishly wished Jamaica well this window but they looked very poor in the bit I managed to catch.
We as West Ham supporters should know that team spirit and camaraderie and management mean as much as talent. Jamaica had very good talent at compared to the middling teams in the Octagonal. But little else.
From all our perspectives, he isn't needed and hopefully won't go next window (including to Toronto) as I don't like cheering against him.
The game in Minnesota was a strange one. They were playing the worst team in the tournament. Now the game I watched live against Mexico was in temperatures close to that with snow up to our ankles in the stands and was one of the great live football experiences I have had. But Canada were not expected to easily beat Mexico like the US were in their game. The stakes seemed a lot higher. But who knows.

You've got no idea whatsoever what emotional attachment he has to Jamaica - you've got no idea that he doesn't feel 51% English and 49% Jamaican. They only get a few years in their career so I can understand wanting to play at the highest level and don't blame him a all. We don't actually own him, you know.

I blame him, it was a stupid decision regardless of our managers inability to strengthen the squad. He obviously has no emotional interest in Jamaica itself otherwise he would have chosen to play for them years ago.

It is not Antonio's fault that the club are incapable of finding any suitable cover or back-up.
Antonio playing for Jamaica is the last chance (however slim) he had of playing in a major international tournament, so I don't blame him.
But he is not the problem.

Daft fucker playing for Jamaica. He didn't care previously as he opted for England, and no doubt he'll be fucked when he returns.

A most extreme form of gamesmanship. Hope USA are very proud of themselves.

In a strange sort of way I was hoping Antonio was going to pick up an injury and Bowen get injured in training.
Not serious injuries just for a month or so.

Don't worry lads. We have a replacement striker in Bowen. Moyes says so.

Now cant make 4th place and the next qualification stage so should now be on the plane back composing his international retirement announcement.

Lost 1-0 at home to Costa Rica
Antonio hooked after 58 mins
Jamaica out but pointless rubbers still to be played. About time he knocked this vanity project on the head.

Jamaica need to win all 4 games and Panama lose there's.
Not gonna happen but still Antonio will play 3 games in a week.
Ridiculous.
