Here's more on the story: http://deportesus.terra.com/road-to...cer+team+withdraws+team+from+PanAm+Games.html Yea, I say clubs pay the fine that Odepa gives to the Olympic Committee. Although, I still feel they might resolve this and let the team go so they don't ruin the tournament for the entire continent.

So was this the Fed who didnt get their sh*t together in time and then the guatemalan olympic comittee said "Ok, you guys aren't going"? Because it sounds to me like the Fed is doing what ever it takes to get us to Mexico, and Guatemalan olympic comittee doesnt want us there. If THAT'S the case then there's some shady a$$ sh*t going on in the olympic comitee
I think they both fckued it up by not coordinating their shit with enough anticipation, as usual. Whatever, it's disgusting, and a step back for Guatemalan football.
According to http://www.laprensagrafica.com/el-s...guatemala-en-futbol-en-guadalajara-2011-.html , El Salvador would be participating at the Guadalajara Games in place of Guatemala.
Correction ChaCha, the one that'll be taking Guate's place is Trinidad Trinitarios sustituyen a Guatemala Martes, 11 de Octubre de 2011 15:54 La Selección de futbol Sub-22 de Trinidad y Tobago sustituirá a su similar de Guatemala en los Juegos Panamericanos de Guadalajara 2011. El Comité Organizador de los Juegos Panamericanos Guadalajara 2011 (COPAG) anunció esta tarde que el combinado caribeño reemplazará a la Bicolor en la justa continental. “Guatemala retiró la participación de su selección, pero ya entablamos comunicación con la Concacaf y hasta ayer (lunes) había definido que fuera Trinidad y Tobago el que viniera a Guadalajara, porque es el país que seguía en el torneo clasificatorio para los Juegos Panamericanos”, explicó Ivar Sisniega director de operaciones del Copag a los medios mexicanos. http://www.guatefutbol.com/index.php/news/13-featured-news/10576-trinitarios-sustituyen-a-guatemala-
I believe i know the answer why our Olympic comittee did not allow our U22 to participate. As i mentioned a while back, my cousin works for the olympic comittee of the Federation and he told me back then that the Federation had lowered their salaries, so the only thing i can think of is them getting back at the FEDEFUT since they did not get any salary cutbacks. Como quien dice, aqui les metimos el webo. Sad if that happened cause this is about our national sport, but how about the young players, we lost that generation. Who knows if Stempel will continue, i mean this broke all the process that was worked so hard.
What should be done now is get a good number of those U-22 players called up to play both games vs. Granada.
ChaCha, we think alike. Me n u in the same page. Ya se clasifico, now is time to start looking at the youngsters, dont call Ruiz, Pappa, Pezzarossi, Contreras. Just call all the youngsters, like Castillo, Ceballos, Lima, Kendel Herrarte and Enoc. By the way ChaCha, looks like Cremas are buying all the U20 players lol, which is good cause that way those kids will keep active and earn more experience and exposure.
Initial call up for the Grenada games Ricardo Jerez Wilson Lalin Carlos Gallardo Jonathan López Paulo Cesar Mota Wilfred Velásquez Cristian Álvarez Pedro Samayoa Mario Rodríguez Jhony Flores Cristian Noriega Lisandro Pérez Juan Valenzuela Néstor Jucup Carlos Villa Ángelo Padilla Atadeo Quiñones Carlos Castillo Edwin Gonzales Gustavo Cabrera Manuel Ovando Fredy García Selvin de León A couple new names in there, including Carlos Villa, looks like the U-23 squad is almost complete HA! I just wish he'd call up a few of the U-20's
I like it, Finally he called Carlos Villa. I've been waiting for that boy to be called up for like years. Dont know what took him so long to call him but im glad he did. I also like that Quinonez dude. He can play, i've seen him.
Even though it sounds nice to bring up new players I really don't want that many. I would rather keep some of our core guys play in these two last match-ups with the new players, especially Pappa so they won't look lost on the field or doing individual efforts, and have a feel for each other and build more chemistry. Even though we won the group already and the last two games are meaningless, we still gotta go win them both.
I would pick up Ceballos, Lima and Enoc. Just to get them some NT time and have their game get better. Ceballos was on a tear with Cremas since the U-20 let him get some face time.
i think eventually they will get the call up, Almeida likes those 3 players. Calling up the main players for these two games is not worth it, they could end up injured, is best to save them for the tough games. I think once we'll play the hard games, thats when Pappa, Pezza, and Ruiz n Campollo and Contreras will shine. They'll play harder.
Empatan Martes, 18 de Octubre de 2011 17:58 La Selección Nacional empató esta tarde 1-1 ante Deportivo Petapa en juego de práctica disputado en el estadio Julio Armando Cóbar. Ante más de mil aficionados que se dieron cita al fortín de San Miguel Petapa, el seleccionador Ever Almeida utilizó el partido para probar a los nuevos jugadores convocados al micro-ciclo de trabajo. El estratega uruguayo–paraguayo incluyó como principal novedad en la alineación titular a los atacantes Atadeo Quiñónez, quien juega para Guastatoya, y a Juan José Valenzuela, que lo hace para Zacapa. Ambos delanteros jugaron por primera vez con la Bicolor mayor. Apenas transcurría el primer minuto de juego cuando el brasileño Sandro Zamboni conectó a la llegada del hondureño Milton Palacios, quien se barrió para vencer al guardameta Ricardo Jerez y adelantar a los auriverdes en el marcador. En la etapa complementaria Fredy García centró a la llegada de Carlos Villa, quien pivoteó para que Ángelo Padilla venciera con un fuerte remate al portero Juan José Santos. http://www.guatefutbol.com/index.php/news/13-featured-news/10697-empatan-
