This guy's the future national team captain, I think he deserves his own thread. Marco was just named the 6th best MLS player under 24 by MLSnet writers. http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/24-under-24-top-5-set-be-unveiled-next-week
Re: Marco Pappa- THREAD OFICIAL Wow, thats a good accomplishment by big Pappa. I agree with you Ballin he should be our future captain. But you know if Ruiz answers the call to play for the Sele, he'll always be captain. I think Pappa should start looking for another team in Europe. He's very talented.
Re: Marco Pappa- THREAD OFICIAL So Chicago is eliminated from post-season play?? Some teams might try to sign Pappa on loan during the MLS off season including Municipal.
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL Yea, Chicago is pretty much out of it for the playoffs. De Los Cobos was a huge bust for them. I don't think he and Pappa gelled very well. When Marco was tearing it up in the beginning of the season, De Los Cobos benched him a few times for no apparent reason. Getting rid of Hamlett was a huge mistake for Chicago. De Los Cobos has not used his bench correctly and always makes dumbass substitution decisions. Pappa has a bright future but he has a contract with MLS to play through to 2012.
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL No miras pues Popol hasta la U golea a los rojos, i'll doubt he'll want to be in that enviroment lol
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL I doubt he'd want to go to Los Rojos too. Those guys were pissing away his potential having him ride the pine. Maybe he can go on loan to a Greek team now that Ruiz is opening doors over there.
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL Dude what are you talking about Hamlett was a disaster and a cancer as a coach for the Fire. De Los Cobos has been good, just his first season. It our offense which didn't score. When your midfielder is your leading goal scorer, something isnt right. Pappa is a great player, as a person and honor to have him in the city of Chicago.
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL hahahah, Pappa gonna be traded to Philadelphia!!!! lolz, Rumor, made by me!!!
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL Dude, are you serious? Hamlett was a boss. Chicago was one penalty kick away from reaching the championship game last year. They are missing key players like Cuatemoc, Mapp and Rolfe who all went to another team but still, the team plays with no identity. De Los Cobos hasn't done anything right. He brought in some expensive Salvadorean defender that was a bust, he's mangled the forward position with his indecision. He has cost the team many points with his second half substitutions (or lack of), it's like if it's his first year coaching anywhere. Pappa is a great player and without him on the team they would be dead last in the standings. If you look at De Los Cobos record as a head coach in Mexico it's one of the most abysmal records in the history of Mexican soccer. How he keeps getting coaching bids is mind boggling.
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL Fire are not doing well because they had a rough start. McBride isn't what he is. Collins John is ********ing lazy, Calen Carr was injured most of the year. De Los Cobos isn't that great of a coach, but he did bring in junk from El Salvador. Ulmanzor and the Loan from Julio Martinez earlier in the season was a joke. And Now they bring in Ljungberg, Bratislav Ristic and Nery Castillo. Nery has been a joke to the organization and he should go back or somewhere else. Ljungberg has been playing decent. If the Fire keep the same lineup they have, get rid of Nery and bring in a striker, they should be good. Coaching a national team is not the same as coaching a club. A club needs progress. El Salvador is overrated BTW. With that easy group they had before the hexagonal, it can make any NT look good. Just my two cents. Pappa will still be here in Chicago through 2011. Even though when he is gone, he will still have Chicago roots since he has family living here.
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL I have trust in Nery Castillo. Is kinda tough when you have been bench warming for years but trust me when he gets back into rhythm he's gonna start doing some amazing things with Pappa. He's a decent striker in my opinion.
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL I don't think Pappa gonna be in chicago much longer, according to Rojomania there is a good chance of Pappa Going to play in France to Paris St. Germain Gama
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL i wouldnt trust those bahmas, why would you even go to Rojomania Jonas, vos sos Crema. Ay patojo no me digas que estas volviendo rojo
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL rojo??? na vs eso nunca ni mi sangre es de color rojo, solo estaba buscando rumores, !!!
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL just wanna make sure Jonas, i know we got the blue blood in our veins. PUROS CREMAS PAPA mira patojo y cambiando de tema, how is your cousin that girl that lives in New York
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL Como esta aquilla chava que pusiste su foto... Era prima tuya o ex? No acuerdo.. Pero si me acuerdo que estava chula.. Presentala mijo!
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL hahahaha esta bien gracias, lolz, no pues no le gustan los viejitos!!!
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL Hahaha! Cuando este en el East Coast te voy a llamar para que la presentes patojo!
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL Aqui estoy todavia. Si me la llevo a Manhattan de parranda y luego algo mas.
Re: Marco Pappa - THREAD OFICIAL What position does this guy play? I saw a video of him and he seems to be a good player. He scored most goals with the left foot so I suppose he is left-footed. Can he play on the left or as a two-way central midfielder? Maybe he can be player for Aris When does his contract end?
