Why you should back Jamaica
The Reggae Boyz face an American side that will not have any of its top Europe-based attackers. Christian Pulisic, Falorin Balogun, Timothy Weah, Gio Reyna and Ricardo Pepi all were part of the USMNT roster that won the Nations League last week and, thus, were not included on the roster for the Gold Cup. Of the 23 players on the roster, 16 play domestically.
By contrast, Jamaica will have several of their regular starters for the Gold Cup. Defenders Damion Lowe and Kemar Lawrence and forwards Bobby Decordova-Reid, Leon Bailey and Michail Antonio are all available for manager Heimir Hallgrímsson. In addition, Demarai Gray, who has scored nine goals over the last two seasons for Everton in the Premier League, is set to make his debut for Jamaica. See which side to back at SportsLine.
