“We’re not far away from the successes of ‘98,” Theodore Whitmore told FIFA.com after a long pause.
The current Jamaica coach played a crucial role in his island’s greatest footballing achievement, in France that year, when they reached their first and only FIFA World Cup™ finals. “We’re moving in the right direction, we have the right balance to get back to the top,” he added.
