    Trivia question... I thought 'Nacho' was the tallest player in the Guatemala NT's history, listed at 1.93 m (6'-4"). Ricardo Jerez II is listed at 1.94 by ESPN but at 1.87 by Sports Illustrated and most other sources. He does look a bit taller in pictures. Who's taller? :confused:

    Of course this info is hard to find for ancient players, but among former internationals, I never heard of anyone that tall. I know Edwin "La Jirafa" Westphal is listed at 1.90 but IIRC he was more like 1.87-1.88 when active. Julio Rodas, about 1.88. "El Flaco" Chacón, 1.87. Piccinini is listed here at 1.85 but I think he was closer to 1.90 (still shorter). "El Gringo" Aguirre, one of the tallest players of his era, was supposedly 1.85.

    Nacho looks taller but who knows.

    And Edwin Westphal was definitely pretty tall considering he was called "La Jirafa" lol. :D

    ¿Dupla chapina en Chile?

    [​IMG]

    El guatemalteco Minor Ignacio López Campollo está a un paso de fichar por Deportes La Serena de la Primera División de Chile.


    El representante del delantero nacional, el uruguayo Pablo Galeano, informó esta tarde desde Montevideo que hoy por la noche se definirá la llegada de López al elenco granate, equipo en el que juega el nacional Dwight Pezzarossi.


    “En lo económico llegamos a un acuerdo, sólo hacen faltan detalles que definir del contrato. Esperamos que esta noche se arregle todo”, expresó Galeano a Guatefutbol.com.


    Mientras tanto, López, quien se encuentra en Quetzaltenango, comentó que sólo está a la espera de que su apoderado le notifique en qué equipo jugará el próximo año.


    Según medios chilenos, el ex jugador de Xelajú MC sustituiría al argentino Juan Sánchez Sotelo, quien se marchó al futbol italiano.


    El seleccionado nacional marcó 13 goles con Naval en la Primera B andina, en su primera temporada en el balompié chileno.

    Dwight y Campollo jugando juntos, no lo creo. Los dos tienen las mismas caracteristicas, mas bien se van estar repartiendo minutos y lo mas seguro es que Dwight se regrese al pais cuando termine su contrato.

    I don't like it either for the same reason, but it looks like it's a done deal.
    Someone already updated it on Wikipedia, although it has not yet been officially
    confirmed.

    Completely agree, but it will be interesting nonetheless if they actually play together at any one point. You're probably right about Dwight, as he's 32, although he's done well this season.

    Yes, according to LaRed, it is. http://lared.com.gt/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3565&catid=44 ... as well as Terra: http://deportes.terra.cl/futbol/cla...0b4abdbbeca84310VgnVCM3000009af154d0RCRD.html

    I don't see where it says Turkish on the spanish wiki?

    About the height, he is from the highlands, you know. :D

    Oh man La Serena sucks. I was happy for Audax or Cobreloa but not this team. Oh well at least it's still in the top tier.

    That is great news for Nacho. Anyone have a video from this game or last game? I couldn't find anything.

    It was opening day for la liga Chilena. I was watching highlights of the La Serena game from this past weekend, and Nacho drew a Red Card. He sold a soft headbutt. La Serena still lost 2-0 to a 10-man Rangers but Nacho looked active he had like two headers that made the highlight reel.
