Usain Bolt doesn’t lack confidence in his soccer skills.

“I think I can make the Jamaica [national] team easily,” Bolt mused while appearing at the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Austin on Sunday, according to Reuters. “I wouldn’t say they are that good at this point.”

Jamaica is ranked No. 59 in the world.

For the fifth straight time, the Reggae Boyz failed to qualify for the World Cup, finishing 10th in CONCACAF (no more than four CONCACAF nations can qualify for the World Cup).

Bolt, who has said he planned to train with German club Borussia Dortmund, has been linked to Jamaica’s national team before.
