[CONCACAF NL Nov 2024] USA vs Jamaica

USA and Jamaica face each other in the @concacafnationsleague QF in two weeks, with a spot in the @goldcup and the Nations League Finals on the line. Pochettino's first elimination matches, and a key moment for the @jamaicamnt to avenge their bitter loss in last year's edition.

Your faithful co-hosts return from their hiatus to dish on the footy, history, and footy history involving these two nations.

We'll look deeper into a few topics in this episode:

The interactions between the two nations when they were both under British rule.

The unique journey of Jamaica-born "Honest John" Brown Russwurm, an abolitionist publisher who ran the first Black-owned newspaper in the USA, and later ended up moving to Liberia.

Similar ideas resurfaced 70 years later when another Jamaica-born leader also proposed resettlement as a solution to race relations in the Americas - Marcus Garvey.

On the footy front, we'll fill you in on the latest with both national teams, the overall League A and League B setup, and of course predict the outcome!
