    I saw the tape replay on Fox soccer channel


    Loco stared on the right and did pretty good too, and he got a yellow


    I hope sheffield wesdnday sees something in him and picks him up, but probably not

    Can't be second division Dutch league unless he has a Euro passport. Dutch leagues require a MINimum salary of 400,000 EUROS for non-EU passport holding players.

    I don't see anyone plucking FT out of Guatemala and giving him over 400,000 Euros.

    League one may be tough too for work permit qualification. A player has to have played in 75 or 80% of A-team matches for his national selection over two years AND that team has to be ranked in the top 60 or 70 (which Guatemala is). I'm not sure what FT's caps are like, but a league one team wouldn't gamble on an unproven entity by Euro standards unless they were certain he could get a WP.

    Other leagues that are likely out of the question with no EU passport:

    - Italy (have very strict restrictions of non-EU players on Serie A rosters, Serie B is only one per team and all are reserved for proven players)
    - Spain (see Italy)
    - Belgium (they have a minimum of 75,000 Euro per non-EU player, which is a lot for that league and normally only spent on bigtime players).

    Others that are unlikely for different reasons:
    - Germany (doesn't typically go for small players with no resume at a high level and that haven't been on trial).
    - France (just don't go for players that often with a resume at no high level and that haven't been on trial).
    - Norway (they only permit two non-EU players on the game day roster and they're in mid-season so they probably already have contracts for the most part - the number of teams looking for non-EU guys right now is likely small)
    - Sweden (see Norway, except they only allow 3 non-EU guys for game day)
    - Denmark (their season just began so roster moves are not likely until later on in the season)

    My guess is that the offer is in Eastern Europe where the restrictions are not as difficult.

    I don't know about those leagues!

    Switzerland would be a nice landing spot. I think they have some good football there. I don't know anything about their player limitations.

    Does anyone know if FT speaks English?

    There was some active players tonite very good night for some Guatemala Players


    25 year old Mario " el loco" Rodriguez scored his 6th goal of the year and assited the game equalizer to Romario

    Miami fc won 3-2 at home http://www.miamifc.com/news/73

    they play the Islanders again tomorrow in PR

    Willie Sims subed in for Taylor twellman of the New England at 69 minute
    and was a pure ball of energy, he had the pace of a young Micheal Owen,
    Sims was close two times to scoring goals but was wide...

    This in my honest opinion was Sims best game played in the MLS
    he passed the ball well collected the ball at his feet well and fast. he had great positioning too.

    we better cap him vrs Peru if we play in LA what a great talent

    his team tied 1-1 vs the KC wizards

    Ruiz still injured
