    he comes from thier primevera team/ youth team.. I think he is a cuban decent player born in Italy

    or he defected when he was young and lived and Italy either way he can't represent Cuba NT now, since apparently once you leave most players don't wanna comeback


    he has yet to start or play or be part of the 18 man roster

    Guate didn't know you're a Wolves fan.....which Guatemalan player plays there? The reason I asked is because I know you were a CSD Municipal fan although you feel strongly about suchitepequez since it's your home team.:)

    my home team is Heredia from Morales, but i was a big of suchi cause my cousin play there now and was part of thier youth team, and they have been really good team of late

    i am a Wolves fan cause my dad is a big wolves fan and it stuck to me, he traveled alot back in the 70's and said he caught a game over there while breifly visting a cousin of my dads in the Midlands, i have lots of favorite teams , i gotta rotate my list.


    BTW i only like Municipal when its a International tourney:D

    and no guatemalan players has ever played at Wolves but Pando Ramirez had a Stint with them before coming to LA Galaxy late 2004, Ruiz had a Training stint when they where still in the Premiership, and thats about it

    Cool. I think it's always difficult for Latin and South American players to adapt in England. I know Veron, Hernan Crespo and a few others had a lot of problems. I guess the culture, food and weather maybe determining factors for some players but I mean these guys should just work a lil harder. But kudos to them for even getting there in the first place!

    I don't know about Heredia, but I'm aware of the success of CSD Municipal and Communicaciones. I remember reading a few yrs ago where Communicaciones actually wanted to sign one of the soca warriors players. He didn't sign with them tho.

    Anyways, good luck to your Wolves this season. I think they play in the championship league (old english first division) hope they get promoted to the prem again.:) I mean Wigan FC surprised alot of people last season.

    This kid never defected from Cuba his mother married an italian man and both
    moved to Italy but because the political system of Cuba he will never be allowed to play for the national team.
    I know at least 5 guys that they play in Europe(Portugal,Spain and Scotland) and all they want to do is represent their country but the comunist won't let them.Why?
    Because is all about politics and the goverment wants to keep saying that their athletes are not professionals and all the good results they get is due to the love to the comunism and Fidel Castro.
