Football: 88 days...

and counting until the World Cup finals begin in France

Rene Simoes, the coach of Jamaica, already has six English-born players in his World Cup squad - and he may be about to add some more. "Maybe I can go for 10 overall," he said this week, adding that the Jamaican Football Federation has been inundated with requests from players with a Jamaican heritage hoping to get a late ticket to the World Cup. He refused to give names, citing confidentiality requested by the applicants. However, any newcomer is bound to kick a Jamaican off the team - and Simoes wants to keep the peace. "If it breaks the chemistry, I'll send them [the newcomers] back," the coach promised.
