Honduran Soccer..... Futbol de Honduras

Hey well its an exciting time for Honduras....(ok maybe not too exciting since we are not in the world cup) but we have a lot of players having a good career abroad. Edgar Alvarez played a whole game with Roma and they won 3-1. Jerry Palacios is heading towards Uruguay and David Suazo is having an ok season with Cagliari despite them being last place. Also the Central American games are coming and we have another chance to prove that the Youth squad is ready and gaining valuable experince. Ramon Nunez is becoming a rising force in the U-20 squad and in Dallas. Feel Free to post any info on Honduran Soccer.

 

You can check the Honduran Newspaper at Honduras.com.........
Also rumors have surfaced that Tyson Nunez is close to sign with Olimpia. Olimpia is about to loose Emilio Luciano to some club from Mexico and the possibility of Wilmer going to Colombia is still pending but he is most likely to stay(hopefully). Everaldo Ferreira is injured for the whole Clasura season. Mario Beata has joined bitter rivals Marathon , but the good thing is Turcios is staying ..... but also Jerry Palacios left( to UruguaY). There is a strange rumor going around the El Pescado Ruiz might join Olimpia, but Nahum has denied any possibilty..... my opinion: We dont need cry babies in the team.

Marathon are arming themselves with such players as Fransisco Ramirez (remember him.... he was actually the league top scorer behind Wilmer) and the Panamanian international Julio Medina.This Clasura is gonna be close between Olimpia and Marathon.... and maybe even Motagua who is back under the leadership of El Primi and just recently signed the brazilian Francisco Soárez de Souza who has played for Italy serie B.

 

Update

Here are the updates for today:
Uruguay goes on a signing spree.

Danilo Turcios is leaving to Penarol, The Club President spoke with Turcios and everything has been arranged. The player is expected to be in Uruguay in January 18. All this comes after the President of Penarol spoke with Turcios urgently.

Junior Izaguirre also is bound to play with either Nacional or Penarol of Uruguay. Both teams want his services so its undecided which one he will go to.

Jerry Palacios the third player to leave to Uruguay, Has offers from such teams as Defensor,Nacional, and Danubio. He is expected to leave to Uruguay as soon as possible.

MetroStars
The President of Metrostars Alexi Lalas furious that Amado Guevara played with Motagua in a friendly against Alajualense. Alexi Lalas quoted ""I'm certainly not happy," Lalas said. "I'm a little irritated and a little frustrated. Our organization has bent over backwards to accommodate Amado Guevara because of the incredible talent he has on the soccer field.

"Amado is no bigger than any other player on the team and he certainly is no bigger than this team."

Lalas later added: "We're not going to bend over and kiss his ass at the expense of having a solid MetroStars team for 2006. If it's good for Youri Djorkaeff . . ."

 

See this is what i hate about the US, they choose to play a team thats not better than them to makes themselves feel superior. Honestly you never see the US make friendlies against France or England.

 

Still Bruce Arena should use a team like Japan or even Senegal to use his "MLS" players. I honestly the US got a good shot in going into the finals , but without MLS players.

 

Yea he did , he scored on Inter from a free kick.

 

Good News!!!!!!!!!!

Jerry Palacios and Junior Izaguirre are gonna play in Uruguay, Izaguirre team's is gonne be Penarol while Palacios team is gonna be Nacional.

Nery Winters is Honduran born player that currently plays for a second division team in Holland. He played with the U-20 Team in this past FIFA Youth World Cup.

 

Fransisco Ramirez is alright, he tends to falter against better organised Defenders but he excels against less experience players. He plays for Marathon now, I doubt he will go and play in "el extranjero".

Motagua- This team is going through some bad times, being in last place and struggling to get their game together. This season however the man that brought this club team glory is back, El Primtivo returns from his stint with the Guatemalan National team. Also new faces such as Pedrinho, óscar Torlacoff Elvis Scott, Jerry Palacios, Francisco Soárez de Souza, and Carlos Diogo will try to restore the glory that Motagua has had in the past.
