    Whats with the insult, I have noting but praises for Marco, who designed and made the Marco Velez tribute banner which is gonna be use today in the Islanders game? The person typing this message did. No need to be all aggressive, I was just stating that he its its first ever MLS goal, not just of this season.

    Reread your response to my original post.

    Tell me if you do not think there was a hint of sarcarsm on you reply.

    Moving on......

    It looks like the PRSL is for real.
    8 teams will be competing:
    River PR, Fluminense, Islanders, Quintana, Carolina Giants, Caguas Huracán, Atléticos de San Juan y Tornados de Humacao.

    Intru, Santero gracias for your comments . I read with interest your posts.
    Glad Velez is getting his footing. He didn't have a good game vs. the Galaxy and Landon.
    Pa'rriba Marco.
    Got some news. Reynaldo Rueda (coach of Honduras) will travel to PR this week to watch the Islanders.
    Honestly, the chances are few that los Boricuas will get through the tie.
    But now, Joe Serralta, federation pres. is awaiting a FIFA ruling on Dominican protests on the qualifying match as to who can wear the shirt. This is a laughable attempt by the RD federation to win the game on the administrative side.
    According to one inside source, a Concacaf official (who shall remain unnamed) asked if all the players had Puerto Rican passports. Ignorance, thy name is .....

    I grew up in San Juan and continued the sport when I migrated. I ended up working in soccer, and played some semi-pro. Have traveled the world, covered 6 World Cups and did a story that came out on Futbol Mundial about the Islanders. I look forward to the nat'l team games vs. Honduras, although los catrachos have the talent to get to the WC, I just hope PR can play well.

    I thought this protest had already come to an end 3 or 4 weeks ago

    Fifa must be a joke

    how can PR (or even the DR) prepare the game against Honduras seriously if they have no idea who will qualify?

    Nace liga de fútbol profesional en Puerto Rico
    La Puerto Rico Soccer League tiene ocho franquicias y el primer torneo empieza en junio
    Por Luis Santiago Arce

    CON UN PARTIDO entre River Plate Ponce y Atléticos de San Juan en el Estadio Municipal Hiram Bithorn de Hato Rey se estrenará el próximo 28 de junio, a las 8:00 de la noche, el torneo profesional Primera División de la nueva ‘Puerto Rico Soccer League’ (PRSL).

    Será el primer torneo unificado de fútbol profesional en la historia del país, con la participación de ocho franquicias que se repartirán entre seis estadios de béisbol, se informó hoy en una rueda de prensa.

    También participarán los Tornados de Humacao, Huracán de Caguas, Gigantes de Carolina, Guaynabo Fluminense, Academia Quintana y Sevilla Bayamón, que representa a la finca del club Islanders de Puerto Rico de la ‘United Soccer Leagues’ (USL).

    “Éste era el paso a seguir para que Puerto Rico se uniera a la comunidad del fútbol del resto del mundo… Puerto Rico hoy ingresa a ese balón globalizado porque tenemos nuestra propia liga profesional”, dijo el presidente de la Federación Puertorriqueña de Fútbol (FPF), José ‘Joe’ Serralta.

    La liga, que se extenderá hasta mediados de octubre, se jugará en grande escenarios. River será local en el Estadio Francisco ‘Paquito’ Montaner de Ponce; los Tornados en el Néstor Morales de Humacao; Huracán en el Yldefonso Solá Morales de Caguas; los Gigantes en el Roberto Clemente Walker de Carolina; Sevilla y Guaynabo compartirán el Juan Ramón Loubriel de Bayamón; al igual que Atléticos y Quintana en el Bithorn.

    “Con esta liga, Puerto Rico se pone los pantalones largos dentro del Caribe… esta iniciativa tiene repercusiones a nivel mundial. Puerto Rico es el gigante del Caribe que acaba de despertar futbolísticamente”, puntualizó Serralta, flanqueado por los directivos de la PRSL, junto al secretario de Recreación y Deportes, David Bernier, y el alcalde de Carolina, José Aponte Dalmau.

    También dijo presente la directora de Recreación y Deportes de la Capital, María Elena ‘Mari’ Batista. Se informó, asimismo, que la entrada a cada juego tendrá un costo de $5.00, y habrá acceso gratuito para los menores de 12 años de edad.

    Theres been rumors that we may play Haiti thats it.

    And about the PR Soccer League and the Islanders B team being called Sevilla Bayamon is very interesting, I knew we sent some guys to Sevilla to meet with their president but I dint know a partnership came out of it.

    Here are the uniforms and the shields. I like them. Very classy and professional. Hopefully this league gets a lot of promotion.

    But WTF is this "Giants de Carolina" crap. Either stick to spanish or english, don't mix them :rolleyes:.

    Here's a picture from the press conference:

    And a bigger view of the Sevilla PR shield.

    Les deseo el mayor de los exitos. I find weird that SJ Atleticos have 4 stars on its sheild. I went to a RPPR last year and there were about 50 people watching the game. I hope it goes better this time. Why aren't they following the FIFA schedule?
    There is no more Baseball in PR. I think they are missing a huge opportunity.

    Ve a la pagina principal de la Federacion de Futbol de Puerto Rico o a las de los Islanders y escribeles un email o llamalos y habla tu con ellos. No debes estar poniendo tu numero de telefono en un foro publico. La iniciativa la debes tomar tu o tu hijo, no puedes esperar por otros. Envia un video de alguno de sus juegos o de sus destrezas para que los de la federacion tomen interes. O ve a alguno de los tryouts que hacen.

    Por Luis Santiago Arce
    Definida la liguilla 2009

    Tres equipos de la nueva 'Puerto Rico Soccer League' (PRSL), que estrenará el mes próximo, pasarán a una liguilla nacional para determinar el representante de la Isla a la Liga de Campeones de la zona Concacaf para la temporada 2009-2010.

    El trío de la PRSL se uniría en la liguilla a los Islanders de Puerto Rico, afiliados a la 'United Soccer Leagues' (USL), asegur el presidente de la Federación Puertorriqueña de Fútbol (FPF), José 'Joe' Serralta.

    Precisó, incluso, que el cuarto onceno al final de la PRSL avanzaría al torneo nacional si entre los primeros tres conjuntos de la PRSL se incluye al Sevilla Bayamón, filial de los Islanders.

    Serralta, además, reiteró que anda en gestiones con las federaciones de Honduras y Guatemala para reclutar cuatro árbitros internacionales que estarían activos entre los 24 oficiales que estarán activos en la PRSL, que iniciará el próximo 28 de junio

    El líder federativo boricua hará el acercamiento durante su participación la próxima semana en el congreso anual de la Internacional (FIFA) en Australia.


    Prueba hoy en el Bithorn

    Jugadores de 18 años en adelante interesados en participar en la PRSL podrán asistir hoy a una sesión de prueba de los Atléticos de San Juan, a las 7:00 de la noche en el Estadio Municipal Hiram Bithorn, que también servirá de sede para la Academia Quintana.

    El apoderado de los Atléticos, Roberto Lucena, también anunció la contratación de cuatro refuerzos extranjeros, encabezados por el delantero portugués Rudson Crisóstomo. También vendrá el mediocampista brasileño Jason Carvalho Moura, junto a tres jugadores peruanos: el atacante Ricardo Vigo, Jorgeb Tuesta y Frank Rosenthal.

    De Perú también trajeron al entrenador, Henry Perales. Los Atléticos recibirán en el choque inaugural de la liga al River Plate Puerto Rico de Ponce.


    I like it, finaly we will have a respectabel Qualy process for the CFU.

    I understand that the catrachos are bringing in overseas players to the
    PR-Honduras. Puerto Rico has a great opportunity to make a stand in the CONCACAF.

    nothing is certain but if we catch a win we need to by as many goals as possible so that we stand well in the hexagonals so puerto rico should expect full force-no mercy
