so the final. jamaica v greece. old foes meeting once again.

greece dominated the early exchanges. martin denyer being particularly menacing. and it was denyer who found arsenal open in the box who gave greece a 1-0 lead. greece continued to dominate but couldn't turn this into goals. jamaica finally settled at the 30 minute mark, and started to get on top. bobbins henry came close from distance. greece hanging on to lead 1-0 at half time.

the 2nd half was much of the same, as jamaica pushed forward looking for the equalizer. jamaica turned to the cross, but it continued to prove ineffective as they continuously failed to find target man jones in the centre. however, on 79 minutes jamaica won a corner. henry finally found jones who headed one home. 1-1.

extra time followed. 101st minute, and nibblet jones rose above the greek defense to meet ricardo gardner's cross to head jamaica into the lead, 2-1. jamaica then went into defensive siege. 119th minute, and martin denyer was able put through by an inch perfect ball by fabio fatasskiss. with the goal at his mercy denyer fired wide. full time would follow. jamaica going back to back.

Greece won KC XXIII btw, beating Brazil 3-2 in the final :D:D:D:D

Unfortunately Switzerland thrashed England 5-1 in the final of KC XXIV. Still, an amazing showing by the Pomgolians to reach their second final, again beating Jamaica in the semi. Switzerland had snuck past Greece with an 86th minute goal in the other semi-final. GAAAAAAAY.
