Reggae Boyz light up social media

André Williams, STAR Writer

Social media lit up last night as tweets and posts relating to the #GoldCupFinal began trending at Number 4 about 7:24 p.m.

Under the watchful eyes of THE STAR, our news team took note of some of the tweets making the rounds during the exciting encounter between Mexico and the Reggae Boyz, which saw the Mexicans emerging 3-1 victors.

These tweets were made after Jamaica went down 1-0 at half-time; when the Boyz were down 2-0 and 3-0; when the score turned 3-1, and after the final whistle.

Tweets when Jamaica went down 2-0:

@marciaforbes: "Oh no! Well, now Jamaica has a mountain to climb. Commentator says Mexico scores 2nd goal within 'seconds into 2nd half' #CONCACAFGoldCup"

Elton Gardener: "This wagon was just too heavy to carry ... New fans brought too much pressure and stress with them. The Boyz just couldn't carry it all. Sorry."

After three goals down:

@ESPNStatsInfo: "Fourth time Mexico has scored 3 or more goals in a Gold Cup Final. The previous three instances all came against the United States."

@fluffymisskitty: "Weh Tuffy Anderson deh???!!! Dis too much now!!!"

@AllianceJamaica: "Jamaica's defence has played excellently right throughout the tournament. They don't deserve this scoreline. All about playing for pride now."

@JuniorRodigan: "Either way, #Jamaica should be PROUD of this team and what they have achieved. A silver medal was not something anyone expected. #GoldCupFinal."

@djbrucki: "Consolation. Makes me happy."
