🎤 Reggie Lambe Speaks to FIFA: Key Highlights
🥅 On the goal against Cuba:

“Jamaica may be the favourites, but we’ve studied their weaknesses. That first game is vital — if we get a result, it will fuel the rest of our campaign.”
🧍♂️ On team growth and professionalism:
“What sets this team apart is accountability. We now have structure — players know what’s acceptable off the pitch, and we hold each other to those standards.”
🌟 On World Cup qualification:
“It’s real. We know we’re underdogs, but if we hit our peak, we can truly surprise people.”
