New York Red Bulls defenseman Kemar Lawrence has been called up by the Jamaica national team for the country's upcoming World Cup qualifying matches. "Taxi" has been a staple for Jamaica, posting 29 caps since his first call-up in 2013, scoring twice. He is one of nine MLS players called up by the team.
The only World Cup Jamaica has qualified for was France 1998, but most of the time, they have at least made the Hex during CONCACAF qualification. They are on the verge of elimination from the fourth round, as they sit in third in their group with four points.
