Sep 02, 2011 Sports

Dear Editor,
When Guyana meet Barbados on Friday at the National Stadium at Providence only one thing will be on the mind of coach Wayne Dover and Technical Director Jamaal Shabazz, April 12, 1980.  For those born after, that was the last time Guyana won a World Cup qualifier.  The then World Cup Squad led by Thomas United legend Earl O-Neal defeated Grenada 3-2 in St. George’s, the encounter against Barbados will be Guyana 21st World Cup Qualifier since 1976.  With only three wins two draws and 15 losses, Friday its time for change.  Let’s look back at Guyana World Cup qualifiers record:
