The guy single handedly beat US Virgin Islands for St. Kitts & Nevis, scoring 7 goals in the 11-0 aggregate and taking a commanding lead as the top goal scorer in CONCACAF...

then St. Kitts & Nevis played 8 more games and he didn't score a single goal, and actually I haven't heard anything of him since. Has he even been playing/on the team? Was his 5 goal game against USVI a fluke? Where has this guy gone?

He is still in the top 5 for goals scored in the 2006 World Cup, behind only Borgetti (10) and Lozano (8) of Mexico, Ronaldo (9) of Brazil, and Ali Daei (8) of Iran. So what happened to him and how come he hasn't been scoring any more?

I believe he's found himself on the subs bench more often, as SKN has been getting some imports from the UK.

Bottom line is USVI sucks, Haiti beat them 11-0 yesterday.

I saw his performance against the USVI in Basseterre and can tell you as impressive as a 5 goal game sounds, he did not dominate. George "Yellowman" Isaac controlled the game and set up Lake several times. Aside from being generally outmatched, the USVI made no adjustments to mark either Lake or Yellowman.

As far as the USVI sucking, not a single player on their team is a professional. They play strictly for the love of the game and the pride of being selected to represent the territory...IMO something quite honorable since they have only won one game ever in international competition.
