jamaica at the fifa world cup
at the 2018 concacaf women's championship, which would determine the three concacaf teams which would qualify for the 2019 fifa women's world cup, the "reggae girlz" were drawn into group b alongside canada, costa rica and cuba. in their first match against canada, they played well but lost 0–2. jamaica secured an upset 1–0 victory over costa rica in their second match, thanks in part to the great play of goalkeeper sydney schneider. in their final group match against cuba, jamaica won 9–0. as a result of costa rica losing their final group match, jamaica finished second in their group and advanced to the semi-finals, where they faced the united states, who were first in the fifa women's world rankings. jamaica lost the match 0–6, but advanced to the third place play-off against panama, with the winner qualifying for the women's world cup (while the losers would advance to the intercontinental play-offs). jamaica took the lead in the 14th minute via khadija shaw, with panama equalising in the 75th minute to send the match to extra time. jamaica again took the lead through jody brown, though panama again equalised with five minutes remaining, sending the match to a penalty shoot-out. goalkeeper nicole mcclure, who menzies brought on for the shoot-out in the last minute, saved two shots to help jamaica to a 4–2 win on penalties, thus qualifying for the fifa women's world cup in france. the shock qualification saw jamaica become the first caribbean nation to compete at the women's world cup. following jamaica's success, menzies was named as the 2018 women's football coach of the year by concacaf.
