Re: La Liga Mayor - Apertura 2011 Final: Metapan 1-0 Once Municipal (Goals for Metapan; Paolo Suarez min ) Watch Highlights here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ernesto77es#p/u/5/crtCftckaOs My 2 cents: Well the season has come to an end and an era of dominance has continued with metapan winning the 2011 Apertura championship...congratulation must go to everyone working at metapan with them being able to show how an organisation is run, this year has been very successful for metapan a championship and qualification to the quarter final of the cconcacaf champions league. Now to the game with two side that can attack ...we expected high scoring atatcking displayed like a blind date we never get what we expect the game was a dull defensive afafir and when a goal was scored spectaular strike by paolo suarez it cam through a defensive mishap ...once municipal lack of experience showed with fouls galour they reverted back to their old style of play and shot themselves in the foot overall thoguh for once municipal it was a great season they should eb congratulated for reaching this far in the pre season predictition by our forum posters no one had them even making the semi final as a final taste i will show the awards of the primera division comapre with the prediction of the bloggers which was won by drum roll.........

Re: La Liga Mayor - Apertura 2011 thanks for slammin sam who pointed that i got the wrong brother it was actually Darwin Ceren not oscar Ceren that won rookie of the season, also luis contrears won goalkeeper of the year my apologises
wow Once Municipal are starting to lose their imports players that made such a difference...rumors have it the mexican pablo hutt might head back to guatemala with municipal, also leonardo da silva has signed with metapan weird signing in my blog i voted him as the poorest signing in the league for last season.
willie souza the brazilian thaat played for alianza ion 2010, will be returning to el salvador to play with alianza again (great news he was a great addition and was so unlucky they didn't win that season losing in penalties against metapan) external links: http://www.elsalvador.com/mwedh/nota/nota_completa.asp?idCat=47863&idArt=6488871

Esnal has been a disappointment. For a player who came from a strong league and a respectable club, not to mention he is a veteran with superior size compared to most of our players he's been a complete let down. Juve will get relegated and Metapan will take it all again.

Its a shame Aguila have reached this bad state last title all the way back in 2006.....six years twelve different coaching changes (ten different coaches), two ownership changes and turnover of almost fifty players (including several promising young players) is disgraceful...this shows the bad side of football the impatient and short sighted side of el salvador soccer. I hope they ccontinue to go bad...so they can finally wake up and realise their errors of their way and change for the better. Trivia Vista is now nine points away from UES, the last team that had that much of a gap to close to stay promoted were juventud olimpico in 2000 and they were relegated
No offense to Aguila and their fans but I also hope they continue to struggle they just demonstrate everything that is wrong with our clubs. I mean in 6 years they have that high of player turnover as well as coaching turnover and no one at the club learns anything its hard to understand how that is even possible let alone repeated in several other clubs.

You nailed it its Vicevic lasting an impressive 3 games although technically he quit. Let the coaching carousel begin.
