Guate,
Do you know where he's from? Does he have a Euro passport?

Unlikely he signs in the Tippeliga in Norway. They have a limit on foreigners permitted to sign with the team in Norway (3) and that is usually reserved for national team players.

The second division also generally only takes foreigners with no EU passport only if they have prior professional experience, which a quick net search would suggest he doesn't.

So... I'm going to say that La Red is at it again. The kid may actually be training with a third division team, and may even get an opportunity to sign there if they have enough money to pay for a minimum salary to get him a work permit (which would likely be the highest salary on the team for a third division side). But anything higher than third division, unless he's got national team experience or pro experience somewhere meaningful, is unlikely.

he's from guatemala City, him having a eu passport is unknown to me.

he is training with a division 3 team and was close to being signed but he wants a chance with a bigger club. he played pro ball in USAC before , a 1st division team in Guatemala that was close to being promoted last year, if that is true i assume he is a relatively young guy. YNT, MNT , is unknown to me either

i wanted to add him just to track his progress , he could be usefull , and might of familiarize himself with the euro speed. he plays midfield left or right, hopefully left.

I believe some of these guys are Norwegian born of Guatemalan parents. Im not sure though.

OK - that would make a huge difference.

but he played for USAC in Guatemala, are you sure he's only been in Norway for 6 months.

Has anyone kept up with the kid, in Germany with guatemala Parents and wants to be part of the next U 17? i remember popol found that kid.

[Guatefc]

Pablo Melgar to play for Antofagsta this weekend at home vs O'higgins , he is expected to start for Antofagasta, as he already cemented a spot on thier Team:D

Also Ruiz will be playing tommorow vs Columbus Crew in the the Lamar Hut, Pioneer Cup

Willie Sims is in his pre-season, with New England..

anyone know If E. Sanchez of Chivas USA is Cap tied yet with the USA ????

Ronald Sierra in Andes IK more to come...................

[USAfutbol]

How old is Sanchez? If he's under 21 and hasn't played for the Senior National Team then he can always change "colors" and play for Guatemala even if he has played youth national team for the USA.

Yeah, his name is Stefano Cincotta, his father is Italian (Pezzarossi 2). He's on Eintracht Frankfurt's U16 team.

[anthony85]

Would you guys happen to have the video of Carlos Ruiz's bicycle kick goal against Costa Rica in the final game of qualifying? That's one of the sickest goals i've seen in my life.

he is 19 and he was called up for Rogen U20 Camp IIRC. His parents are Guatemalan, and he is American

Pablo Melgar on the Road with Antofagasta vs Audax Italiano


he is likely to start this weekend. he has started the last few game an it is safe to say he is a regular for Antofgasta

http://www.guatefutbol.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1766&Itemid=2

you thik antofagasta would be interested in more Guatemalan players????

Like El Loco who is in his best form right now, and Antofagasta could use a scoring Source.

CDA do indeed need a target-type striker (they have good CMs/playmakers but lack a guy that can finish off those chances). When they signed Melgar, there was talk of getting Pezza, as well, but I guess that died down and then Pezza signed for Marquense (right?)

The problem now is that the transfer window closed, so until the Chilean winter (June/July) teams cannot sign players.

GuateFC - do you know Loco personally? You seem to have a very close affiliation with him. Not that this is bad in any way, just curious.

no, i just think he is in top form, the best player next to Ruiz and needs to be playing in a better league, to make him a better player. AntoFagasta could Use Mario, he can play right wing and a right Forward in a 4-3-3 system of course.

we can all agree that he is currently the Best player overall in Guatemala Liga nacional?

[USAfutbol]

He's doing quite well at the moment, yes. I'd say that it is a positive things for the Sele that he and Cabrera have found good form of late after having a few mediocre years outside of the league. They should both try and get out of the country again.

I agree 100%, lets get these guys out there and playing soccer at their maximum potential.
