Salvadorans Abroad - 2009 Edition

Re: El Salvador National Team - Comments Part XII

Oh ok, what a relief. I thought that they were just sent there to play for a second division team and nothing else. I was pissed when I first read the news, because these players are good players, they deserve a better opportunity, but if they're able to sign with another club while on loan, that's cool.

In my point of view, these 3 guys are hungry, they'll go out there and prove themselves to get signed by a bigger club in the first division in mexico or somewhere else. Let's just hope they're not warming up the bench most of the time.

 

Re: El Salvador National Team - Comments Part XII

Does anyone know any sites where we can see highlights or live games of Leon and the club Cheyo going to be on, on the internet?

Re: El Salvador National Team - Comments Part XII

damn, they have some pretty inexpensive merchandise. I'm glad the boys are headed abroad. Mexican 1a is about the same level as USL 1. I remember when Bentos went to Puebla, and everyone was saying that Bentos was the best forward in the country etc. everyone seemed okay with him in the mexican 1a. Granted, he's not a national team member; it still kind of reminded me of that situation.

 

Re: El Salvador National Team - Comments Part XII

The merchandise might seem pretty inexpensive but the shipping is very expensive.

 

Re: El Salvador National Team - Comments Part XII

The Mexican Primera is better than USL1 in my opinion. They style of play is faster, and more organized. The upside of all this, is that Leon is constantly on the verge of being promoted and if our 3 guys continue to play the way they do in the Selecta they will most likely be promoted.

 

Re: El Salvador National Team - Comments Part XII

Yeah and no matter how good a USL1 team is they cannot be promoted to the MLS.

 

Re: El Salvador National Team - Comments Part XII

Exactly, and if they did the MLS isn't that great. Leon on the other will most likely get promoted to the FMF which is a great league.

 

Re: El Salvador National Team - Comments Part XII

I was looking around in some Cyprus forums and apparently this site shows games...but you gotta pay...I'm hoping someone on JustinTV or the internet shows em free though...

 

ok, we are getting to alarmed, there is no question they deserve to play in first division right away, but there is more behind the scenes with the trio cuscatleco.

Leon is associated with other first division teams, if for whatever reason Leon doesn't make to first division, other first division teams I bet have already talked it out with Leon to transfer those players to either Indios, Santos or Tecos. Sometimes these first division teams are pre causious with central american players and want to see how they respond in the second division, unfortunately our "brand" always gives owners second thoughts or think about causious measurements. but if they were Colombians, Uruguayans or Chilenos they would have been in first division in a flash.

This is our reality, El Salvadorean soccer has to stay competitive for owners not to have second thought about our players. Second we need better people to represent our players and negotiate them to better teams, that is another problem. Pohl, just doesn't mind selling them cheap, he doesn't mind his pockets getting fast money either. just my opinion.

 

So here is the official list of our abroad players.

1. Alfredo 'chele' Pacheco- New York Redbulls
2. Eliseo 'cheyo' Quintanilla- Ermis Aradippou
3. Cristian 'CC17' Castillo- Leon FC
4. Julio Martinez- Leon FC
5. Rodolfo 'Fito' Zelaya- Leon FC
6. Edwin Miranda- Miami FC
7. Nelson Alexis Barrios- Houston Dynamo youth
8. Gilbert Barahona- Houston Dynamo youth
9. Ruben Sigüenza- Sevilla FC youth
10. Cristiam Bustillo- Sevilla FC youth
11. Carlos Rosales- Cadiz C.F.
12. Ricardo Torres- Cadiz C.F.
13. Jaime Alas- River Plate Reserves
14. And a couple guys in Colon of Argentina.
15. Arturito Alvarez- San Jose Earthquakes.....
I'm putting him on the list, because FIFA changed the rules, he says he wants to play for us so it's a matter of time till he suits up.

 

well . . . seeing is believing, Because we have faith in our players doesnt mean other people believe they are good. Nothing personal to us, but we have more of a dissavantage because we have a small country, and we havent made the world cup since 1982. Put yourself in their shoes of a GM if you had a choice between a player from Somalia or France who without seeing them in person, who would you pick ?

 

Congrats to mexico, you won't have to pay spies to go see our team play anymore!
They will now be easily accessible to study whenever! in a nice little second division package!, majes.

 

I misunderstood that sorry. I just thought since this an abroad section we should post it here, since there will be news about those guys in the future.

So guys that play for the u-20 and u-17 aren't pro?

 

Cool, i always said it, Zelaya and Castillo should leave El salvador/Alianza, as a combo-deal type.

I wish them the best of luck, in the Mexican "A" league.

 

who are Gerson Mayén de 20 años y Efraín Burgos de 19? who the hell are these people? and also what information does anyone have with respect to them?
