Attacking Midfielder Yosniel "Capi" Mesa defected from the Cuban national soccer team on June 9 and was seen practicing with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League (NASL). More info with videos and links. http://bit.ly/lxlp6j
according to the paper.....coach didn't think a signing looked likely. Mesa didn't have "what they were looking for".
I didn't think he had a chance when they said he played 12 whole minutes in the 5-0 thumping by Mexico vs Cuba.
