Who's your countries' best player all-time?

[rabieta]

From your country, what player(s) past or present have really stood out and succeeded or "made it" in the national team or abroad? Please limit your answer to no more than three players. My goal here is to create a Central American "super team". Would this all-star team have a decent (or strong!) chance against a similar team from another geographical area.

Here are my three from Panama: both Dely brothers, Rommel Fernandez

[LN - Dougg]

El Salvador:

1)Jorge "Magico" Gonzalez
2)Mauricio Cienfuegos
3)Raul Diaz Arce

Alejandro Morera Soto, costa Rica

This reminds me of a question I've had for a while. On the 2002 World Cup site they listed former great players for each team, and Costa Rica's were Juan Ulloa and Javier Astua. I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about these players. All I've found on google is that Ulloa was top scorer in Costa Rica a few times in the 1960's and Astua was top scorer a few times in the early 90's. However, judging from the roster I've seen Astua wasn't on Costa Rica's 1990 world cup team. Is anyone able to provide more info about these guys? Thanks.

Javier Astua>
he was an important forward in the early 90's, he played for Puntarenas and alajuela, he probably also played for 1-2 other minor teams, he won the top-scorer award a couple of times, he got several injuries in his last pro-seasons
He also played for the nat'l team in some games, but he was defently not a star, who ever consider astua as a star has to consider Medford or C.Jara as Gods, thay were much better than him.


I'll post some inf about Ulloa as soon a I find it, i wasnt born in the early 80's, never see him playing.

[Goathemala]

coneja Sanchez,Jerez,Ricardo clark,Pepino Toledo,Byron Perez just to name a few, I think most could have played in Europe but dint get the chance, Byron played in mexico for a while, and others tried South America.
