Andre Blake finally gets chance to show what he can do for Union, Jamaica

Andre Blake was swept up by the emotion as his Jamaican soccer team made an unexpected run to the finals of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup last summer.

The Reggae Boyz enjoyed a memorable run that didn't end until a 3-1 loss to Mexico in the final at Lincoln Financial Field.

The tournament provided everything for Blake, the Union's goalkeeper, with one exception - playing time. Blake spent the entire tournament as a spectator.

Now less than a year later, Blake could be a leading figure as Jamaica hopes to make another surprising run while competing in Group C of Copa America.
