| DID YOU KNOW? |
- Carlos Bocanegra is the only survivor from the last time the United States visited Kingston, a 1-1 draw in 2004. A year prior to that, Bocanegra scored one and assisted one in a 2-1 win over Jamaica at the same venue. Tim Howard and Steve Cherundolo also started that match.
- The Jamaican roster features nine players from MLS, the American squad only five.
- Four players on the U.S. roster switched clubs since the U.S. last played, a 1-0 win over Mexico in Azteca Stadium: Bocanegra (Racing Santander), Clint Dempsey (Tottenham), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City) and Maurice Edu (Stoke).
- Sean Johnson's parents hold both Jamaican and American passports. He previously suited up for the Reggae Boyz U-17 and U-20 teams.
- Jermaine Jones, who leads the U.S. teams in minutes played in 2012, scored the last time these teams met, a 2-0 American win in the quarterfinal of the 2011 Gold Cup.
- These two teams will play again four days later, in Columbus, Ohio.
