So looking at all the talent that we have for the Sub 23 who should be the 3 over age players? Personally I think that Espinoza at Midfield should be Lock plus he would start next to Acosta and that would be the Ideal pair for the senior national team, Maynor and Emilio would be the next two candidates but I would take a CB over a LB and when it comes to Forwards and Wingers no one over age deserves to take a spot away from the young dudes that we have available, I mean imagine if Pinto decides to call up Boniek or Bengtson I would seriously be pissed off.

Good question.. I have no clue tbh.

Is this kid even that good or is it another one those Junior Lacayo super hype thing? I see him getting linked to go to Europe every other day.

As you can see, both teams from La Ceiba continue to push out young talent into their starting XIs. That trend will never cease to continue.

It doesn't surprise me there is a ton of Talent in that region of Honduras and both Vida and Victoria are generally poor teams financially so can't afford to buy players, the sad part is that if either one gets relegated I could easily see them dissolving.

Honduras could play 4 friendlies in Jan/Feb, first confirmed game is in Managua vs Nicaragua on the 27 Bolivia on the 31 and Guatemala on February 3rd and a possibility to play Panama on February 17.

Also the Olympic team could play their first two friendlies vs Colombia U23 on February 24 & 27 both games will take place in the USA one in Houston and the other in Miami.

This move isn't surprising though sure it's a downgrade from Colombia's 1st division but this the level that has been playing at for years.

Man.. that's a horrible horrible track record for players whom played in the U-20 and U-17 for Honduras previous to the UAE U-17 WC.

He still managed to sign with a top CA team, but even if he does well I wouldn't want him to come back to NT.

Like I said before and i'll say it again... Milo is on his way out of Celtic and most likely Europe entirely.

Y'all can fail to believe me if y'all want, but he's not getting younger and that Tierny kid seems to have won his job. MLS is his next destination.

It wouldn't be a bad thing for him to land in the MLS considering that it's a better league quality wise as a whole than the SPL.

Good News it looks like Luis Garrido is recovering pretty fast he can already jog on his own two feet, I hope that he can recover well and pick up where he left off.
