I actually might be attending this game. Excited to see them play but at the same time sad that the big boys won't be there. :( Nonetheless i really want to go and meet the boys! If i go expect tons of pictures!

I may not be able to make it, but i want to go and check out one of their practices. I called Robertson's Stadium at UH, and they couldn't give me any info. Anyone locals have any word?

[R9Kevinr9]

There staying at the JW Marriot in Houston. That's all i know, they say there practices are 45 minutes away from there hotel.

They are a block away from where I am interning, I wonder if I can go to the hotel and visit them, I bet if I went to the Galleria I would see them shopping.

Subscribing to this thread. I'll be at the match with a few friends...I'll post pictures.

Has anyone found a roster list for the game? I've only read that he's not playing the international players. *keeps searching*

Well there's no definative lineup just yet, but here is the 20 man roster that is eligable for selection:

Benji Villalobos & Miguel Montes

Luis Hernández, Manuel Salazar, Marvin González, Alexander Escobar, Víctor Turcios, Mardoqueo Henríquez, Deris Umanzor, Reyanaldo Hernández

Salvador Coreas, Ramón Flores, Dennis Alas, Osael Romero, Óscar Jiménez, Romeo Monteagudo, Juan Carlos Moscoso,

Williams Reyes, Rudis Corrales, Lester Blanco

Note that Salazar, Turcios, Alas and Monteagudo might not get any game time as they are arriving late due to there commitments with Firpo.

There are also chances that we might see Chele, Cheyo, Capi, and Arturo..but it's not very likely

Going to be an interesting match since they are going to use Seattle Sounders futbol star Fredy Montero against El Salvador. I would have liked to see Arturo Alvarez against Colombia but I don't think we will see that happen this friday...Hopefully i'm wrong.

Colombia, con los suplentes

Last i heard Montero was out as the Sounders didn't let him go. Could be wrong though.

I heard the same. An international friendly isn't as important as facing RSL this weekend. :rolleyes:

As for Alvarez, I read that he was waiting for a call-up, but wasn't sure if that meant he'd play on Friday. If he did, that'd be huge for him to play in his hometown with the team he wants to be on. But league action would get in the way as well.

I THINK, the whole ALVAREZ situation, it's becoming a total distraction for the ESNT players, and hardcore-fans alike.:D

jees, let's focus in the friday-night game(friendly) versus, colombia.

Not really. Before in the beggining it was huge, but for the fans. The players could careless there play has shown it. It does no effect them i think.

I don't think Arturo Alvarez is a huge distraction for the team. But for hardcore-fans maybe :p. I'm a huge Arturo Alvarez fan since Arturo first started playing in the MLS but you don't see me being distracted ;) haha sike want to see him play as soon as possible either play against Colombia or play as sub. against Trinidad. But their is someting that does distract the team is when Cheyo isn't around lol. But what happen to Burgos Jr. call up?
