Well done, Boyz! Be quiet, naysayers!

All over social media I am seeing comments blasting our Reggae Boyz for not knowing the national anthem. I am not sure what some Jamaicans were watching, but from where I stood I did not see anything to indicate that they did not. How many of you in your homes stood at attention when you heard it?

Some Jamaicans are really two-faced hypocrites. Had the Boyz won they would be all over social media celebrating that win. But, no, instead you choose to knock them down.

I guess many of you cannot fathom the pressure the boys must have been under in a stadium packed with people shouting '¡Viva Mexico!'

It is so easy for some of us to pass assertions, but how many of our own children know the national anthem or the pledge?

The last thing the Boyz need right now is to be dragged over the coals. After all they have been through to get to where they got, they dont need people assuming that because their mouths were not moving they did not know the anthem. Some of us Jamaicans really make things bad for others.

Well done, Reggae Boyz, you did your best, you achieved what many thought you could not, and you can only get better from here.
