ES U-23 NT player Christian Molina, who competed for Northern Illinois University collegiately after graduating from the Houston Dynamo academy, signed with USL club Union Omaha. Fito Zelaya signs with Ascenso MX club Celaya FC. Érick Rivera is the second Salvadoran of the year to go to Bolivia (first being Roberto Dominguez); signing with Club Aurora. Newly-naturalised 18 year old Colombian-Salvadoran player, Brayan Gil Hurtado, has been trialing with Belgian 1st division club KAA Gent. Lester Blanco joins Thailand 3rd division club Phrae United. @Hugo7346 of SelectaTalent recently interviewed Vitesse U-19 player Enrico Hernández (Dutch player of Salvadoran/Finnish descent) who has expressed interest in representing ES.

Couldn’t help but notice the sudden surge of Salvadorans playing in Guatemala. How much better is their league compared to ours?
FC Edmonton footballer, Marcus Velado-Tsegaye is of Salvadoran (and Ethiopian) descent as discovered by @Hugo7346 of SelectaTalent.
This is frustrating. He’s easily been our best player but he seemed to have lost himself after that injury he picked up last year. Even in the picture where his new club announced him he looks like he picked up weight.
He’s picking up real bad habits remember he was part of the crew that trashed that hotel room and was drinking one of the guys in that group being Fito ... Great ********ing influences we have on the NT. I believe Darwin was on of the others as well. This also explains why he wasn’t called up last time around. He needs guidance but it needs to be outside the NT because the last thing we need is another Cheyo.
That is very true. I forgot about that incident. That is sad and remains a big reason why were hopeless. honestly, Pineda has the making to be just as big as Mágico i feel. Obviously on a different level but in terms of impact. He needs to find guidance, hope someone comes along to help him
Not to diss Magico, but let’s not forget he had off-field and disciplinary problems that prevented him from achieving more in his career. The irony of Fito being a bad influence on Pineda is that Fito was at one point touted as the next Magico.

From what I gathered 5 goals overall the other being in either a cup game or supercup. So far great start for him this season currently KR should be the definite leaders since they were tied with Fylkir going into the match. Also notes on the other abroad players. *Nelson Bonilla - Is making his way to Thailand to rejoin his club he might be close to 100% from his injury but footballing shape will be another story. *El Ruso Flores - Currently not with Portland he had to leave the bubble due to a death in the family my condolences. *Also condolences to Gerson Mayen who also lost a member of his family.
As for Fito Hola equipo @TorosCelayaCD, ya estoy de regreso en la ciudad y mañana me presento a los entrenos. Ha sido difícil salir de mi país y retornar por la situación que vive el mundo entero por el covid-19 pero el compromiso con uds está intacto. Mañana nos vemos. 😉 https://t.co/QW5bX0xb1V— Fito Zelaya (@FitoZelaya22) July 20, 2020
Well he’s going right back to Alianza. Man is he ever in shape. 1285602009870213120 is not a valid tweet id
I think D. Corea might replace him. If Bonilla is back in form they could be a good counter attacking duo.

He looks promising. Has he been capped for ES Yet? Looks like he will join Jeréz at Alianza Petrolera.
