Four months ago, Jamaica’s players felt unprepared for the Women’s World Cup, blaming inadequate support from their soccer federation for leaving them without proper practice time or pay.
They turned to crowdfunding, which has raised nearly $100,000 to help cover their travel expenses to Australia.
“We always look forward to say, ‘We need to try any way possible to get to the second round,’” Jamaica coach Lorne Donaldson said. “I think the players are liking Australia. They like it here. They see some kangaroos. So we want to stay a little bit longer.” “She sets the standard in training and in games,” midfielder Peyton McNamara said of Shaw. “And she’s someone we can all look up to when we’re playing with her.”
Defense has given Jamaica the upper hand against its first two opponents. Becky Spencer is the first goalkeeper to record two clean sheets for Jamaica in a World Cup. Defender Deneisha Blackwood earned player of the match against France.
