Grand opening- Life in Jamaica exhibition

Jamaica\'s young Reggae Boyz will kick off their bid for a place in the youth World Cup in Egypt later this year, when they tackle the Stars and Stripes of the United States at the Dwight Yorke Stadium in Bacolet, Tobago, at 6 p.m. today.



It will be a tough way to kick off the tournament as the United States have qualified a record six times for the U-20 World Cup.



Although this time without several big names, which has been a characteristic of their teams over the years, the team has been said to be a solid mix evenly split between domestic and foreign-based players.



However, the Jamaicans, perhaps one of the teams under the radar headed into the competition, have had some success against the United States before, and some members of the current team, Dever Orgill, John Ross-Doyle, Andre Steele and coach Donovan Duckie, will remember a memorable 3-2 win over the US at Under-17 World Cup qualifying final round two years ago.



Despite that fact, however, the Jamaicans failed to qualify and Duckie\'s troops, the last national team left in a World Cup qualifier, will be looking to better that mark.
