"Jamaica is making its first appearance in the Copa America, South America's premier international tournament that also includes some Central American and Caribbean teams.
It is not going well.
No, the Reggae Boyz aren't getting blown out; they lost 1-0 to defending-champion Uruguay in their opener. But with Lionel Messi and Argentina on the horizon for their third and final group stage contest, Tuesday's match with Paraguay seemed their best opportunity to get a result.
Then this happened:
Poor goalkeeper Duwayne Kerr, whose header met the feet of Edgar Benitez in the 36th minute, resulting in the flukiest of goals that ended up being the only one of the match.
But hey, Kerr does have that upcoming match against Messi to make some big saves and erase this unfortunate memory."

One can only imagine the chorus of Bumbaclots from Jamaican viewers when this happened.
