Joe Corona got a call from US Under 23 team. He will be playing against us. Interesting to say the least.
Watch J.Corona try to switch over to El Salvador, if El Salvador U23 ends up beating them. What El Salvador's U23 needs to start doing is getting players like D.Coreas, Burgos Jr., Maikon Orellana, and Mayen to train with the U23 team early and see if the coach can actually use these players to make a difference on the team. I don't know what they're waiting for but with Maikon U.S. trying a lot to get his U.S. citizenship to get him to play with the U.S. U23
wierd i heard few months ago that he was received a call from mexico u 23 so lol he cant make his mind up i wish this game had good of salvadorean so he get boooed
He got called up for 2 sub-23 friendlys before the panamerican games, played 5 minutes in one and didnt play at all in the 2nd game. Then he got dropped from the final panamerican list
FESFUT will be observing players in LA list of players. Thanks to Hugo (selecta talent) for setting it up. There is also another friendly announced the U 23 squad will take on Puerto Rico Feb 22 in El Salvador.

Does anyone know where in Los Angeles the camp will take place? Also, any info where we can go view the practice or matches?
Anyone going to the game tomorrow. I'm going, I want to see Maikon play. I hear a lot of good things from him. Also I want to see Garcia play.

I just contacted LMU to verify the game and time. The game is set for 1230 at Sullivan field in the campus.
Half time ES 0-LMU 1. When they were plating better, a scramble in the box, MLU scored. They started slow. It took them about 10 min to make there presence in the field. LMU scored 25 min into the game. There is a good right midfielder #21. He is very good, slick too, very fast. The 2 forwards got good size and speed. #12 and 17. Sorry, I don't know any of the guy's names. The goalie looks good too.

Final score 3-0 LMU. They played ok, I think playing for the second time together wasn't to bad. There are some good players. ,Abrego, Alvarado and Garcia the goolie. They all had a good game. The best player for us, Maikon. He looks like a stud out there. I hope he plays for us. He plays like Zelaya, but bigger, stronger and faster. Really good with the ball.
I didn't know the name of the stopping midfielder. He is Pablo Punyed, I think Alfaro found his stopping midfielder. He is solid with a good touch. He challenges every ball on the ground and up top. #21 is Richard menjivar, very fast and good ball control. On defense I didn't see much, maybe Francisco Ramirez. I was kind disappointed with Linarez. I was looking forward to see him play in the middle of the defense. We are solid on the forward spot with Abrego, Alvarado and Orellana. Carranza looked ok too. Not much went through the right side.
I looked on youtube for any video footage of the two previous games and founded nothing. Great job by Hugo and his staff by the way! >UNO<
Yes it is, I spoke to him at half time, Real nice guy. he really loves la Selecta and la patria. He really believes in this project. I'm glad I met him, gave me a chance to thank him for everything he does. I'm sure everyone who wants to see la Selecta in the world cup before we die feel the same way. I hope I can make the Sunday game also. I'm not sure if I can, but I'll try my best.
el grafico has some brief footage up. Alfaro mentions the 2 standouts are Maikon Orellana and Christian Alvarado. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIqhFE6dTM0"]DT Mauricio Alfaro y Oliver Carranza en El Desempate desde Campamento en Los Angeles, CA 03/02/2012 - YouTube[/ame]
Our U23 team played its third friendly today against the Fullerton Rangers of the CSL. The game finished level at 2-2. We were leading 2-0 at half. Seems like Maikon and Christian Alvarado are linking up well up top.
I watched one of their games. Here is what I think. Garcia: he can be our starter in th U-23 team. I think he is better than what we have at this time. Defense not impress with any of this guys. The Italian kid was solid but not great. He plays right back. We have a lot of good right backs already. Center I didn't see much. Midfield: punyed I think will get a called up to the team. He is solid on defense and a good touch. Richard menjivar plays well. He plays right mid once again we have a lot of players there. Forward: Alvarado very solid player, good size,speed and skilled. I think he will get called up. Abrego very solid player, good size skills and fast. I think he should get a call up. I would be surprise if they don't. Orellana what can I say about him. Just a pure stud of a player. If they don't cap him right now we might lose him to the US. He will be that good of a player. He is a game changer. He can help them in the olympic trials. It would be a mistake not calling him because he is only 17 or 18. That's what I thought after the game. If anyone got to see the guys, what did you think?
