NB: Gonsalves and Gomez played as goal keepers;
the three players in italics were announced as squad members in both the
"Jamaica Gleaner" of 29 Nov and "Het nieuws" of 24 Nov but are not mentioned
in any match reports and are not listed together with the other players among
the passengers leaving Surinam in "Het nieuws" on 20 Dec;
Charleau and De Souza arrived after the first match on 7 Dec;
it is not clear whether the absence of players from Haiti was related to their
reported dissatisfaction at the end of the Jamaica series.
