It will be winner-takes-all at The Office in Kingston on Sunday, November 13. Jamaica and Suriname play to decide which team spends next summer contesting the 2017 Caribbean and Gold Cups, and which will be shopping for a friendly opponent or two to fill the long months without meaningful international competition.
That Jamaica is in this situation at all - potentially 90 minutes away from a relatively barren 2017 (there is potentially another route to a Gold Cup berth for the loser of this game, but it is not guaranteed and will be scant consolation) - illustrates how far the Reggae Boyz have fallen since their run to the final of the 2015 Gold Cup.
