Just saw this, hadn't heard anything about Boniek being called up. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/six-mls-players-headline-honduras-185900879--sow.html Sucks that he's playing on the 10, 15, and 19th. He hasn't had a break since he's arrived.
That's the bad part about having a great Central American player on your team. When they're good, they will rarely miss a call-up. Mexican players turn them down like Astros tickets.
I would prefer he did not play. I like Boca, followed them for 18 years now, but this type of club vs. NT exhibition does nothing for me. Honduras does this often however, I was at the Rob for Honduras vs Club America in Feb. of '01. Great atmosphere n game that night. Our Rob was sold out! In Miami, meh, who knows how packed it will get with those posers in South Beach.
I hope he doesn't play due to realizing what is at stake here in MLS. Potential Supporters Shield and playoffs.
He is likely to get a rest coming up. Once Rico works his way back, you can start Rico and slide Camargo right (where he started when we switched the 4-3-3.) I expect OBG to get at least one day off in the next few weeks.
This can workout our way. http://www.diez.hn/Ediciones/2012/08/12/Noticias/Boca-con-suplentes-ante-Honduras#.UCh3TGOe68R This may mean that Honduras may not even use their starters for that long or at all. I know OBG was called-up, but maybe he'll just be used for other games. Let's see what happens.
