    Lol I didn't even bother listening to his music you are a braver soul than I am. But yeah at first he was starting games and scoring at least in the first 3-4 games SelectaTalent made it a thing to show his goals (well they are his agent iirc). But soon after I guess he got hurt or just fell down the pecking order because he was bench fodder as the season wore on with spares appearances until he was released before the start of this latest season.

    Would have been nice if the Feds kept his fitness regimen it would have done wonders for these guys and the style Lara wants them to play. As for Romero and Ceren they should get punished that's my two cents on it particularly Romero he does have a mean streak because when he has target he will get in a shot or two. Best example would be when Aguila and Alianza would face off he would always leave Fito with a few extra gifts when covering him so he does have a history.

    I guess his heart wasn't in soccer anymore. His music isn't groundbreaking to me but at least he's getting paid and doing live shows, so I respect that.

    I hate that is a part of our football. It's rewarded so it keeps happening. I have yet to see any coaches or administrators speak out against this stuff

    Well cuz again, most soccer has little things like that. Obviously biting is over the top, but youre gonna say that theres no foot stomping, shirt pulling, jabs, etc in every league in the world?

    Obviously things get rough on set plays everywhere but this isn't the only guy that is biting just among the guys called to the gold cup this time. Our league and our football is behind the times on this kind of stuff. Our players constantly flop around hoping for a call, they flop to waist time, they commit insanely stupid fouls, they emotionally lash out and we can go on and on. That is just a losers mentality they feel they can't outplay the other team so they go to the dark arts which again is encouraged by coaches and administrators.

    It hurts our growth in so many ways you constantly hear stories of teams in our leagues just going out to hurt players that they can't stop defensively. Who knows how many promising young players have had their careers cut short because of that nonsense. We also know we can't develop any level headed defenders because of it

    I think it also sends a message to abroad teams interested to look elsewhere there's a reason out of almost all C.A. we have the least amount of luck exporting defenders.
