Zapping Foot National Interview – The underside of amateur football, with Romain Molina
Barely arrived, already left? While the 2025 edition of the Gold Cup is currently in full swing, Guadeloupe is already on the verge of elimination. After his heavy inaugural defeat against Panama (2-5) on Tuesday, June 17, the selection of Jocelyn Anglooma underwent a second consecutive setback this Saturday, June 21. Opposed to Jamaica for this second day of the group phase, she nevertheless created the sensation by opening the scoring thanks to Thierry Ambrose (32nd), the former Auxerre, Lens and Metz striker. But thanks to the achievements of Leon Bailey (41st) and Jon Russell (45+4th, 2-1), the Reggae Boyz overturned the steam just before half-time to never let go of the advantage again.
Need a miracle
Consequency: Before challenging Guatemala on Wednesday, Guadeloupe finds itself good last in its pool with 3 points behind Jamaica (2nd, 3 pts) and its next opponent (3rd, 3 pts). To hope to qualify for the quarterfinals for the third time in their history (after 2007 and 2009), the Gwada Boys will largely have to beat Guatemala while counting on a Grifle of Panama on Jamaica. As a reminder, several Ligue 2 players, National and National 2 are part of the Anglooma Jocelyn group.
There is first of all the goalkeeper of FC Chambly (N2) Rubens Adelaide. Two surprises are then in the defensive sector, with the first summons of the defender of Montpellier Christopher Jullien and the side of AS Saint-Étienne Yvann Mason. Nathanaël Saintini (Martigues) and Junior Senneville (Dunkirk) are also one of the defenders summoned. In the midfield, Moco Zoran (Dijon), Noah Cadiou (Rodez) and Jordan Leborgne (QRM) are from the group, just like Mixtur Kenny (Villefranche) and Taïryk Arconte (Pau).
To summarize
Barely arrived, already left? While the 2025 edition of the Gold Cup is currently in full swing, Guadeloupe is already on the verge of elimination. After his heavy inaugural defeat against Panama (2-5) on Tuesday, June 17, the selection of Jocelyn Anglooma underwent a second consecutive setback this Saturday, June 21.
