    That whole scenario is ridiculous/funny. Juarez already annouced Larin as a player of theirs. Then Pohl comes out and says nothing has been done, amd in fact says he doesnt want to let anyone go, especially Larin. Tbh, if Pohl were to leave I think it would be the best for ES soccer.

    That whole situation is tricky.
    From what's come out he is still under contract by Tigre's until 2019 shocking for a Salvadoran player abroad to be contracted this long I know. But then again there was the case with Rafa and he never ended up being used by that Austrian club.


    But these last few years they've somewhat left him to his own devices, so I take it everyone thought the contract had expired this year, this would explain him re-upping with Alianza. Now if he is still under contract by Tigre's I would assume this could make the Alianza contract null and void but at the same time Tigres could just end the contract and not bother (worst case scenario).

    Theres something Im honestly wondering. Why do we continue to call up USL players? And if we do, why dont we call up other players in the USL that have a chance at playing for ES? Some of these players are performing bettwr right now anyways...

    As much as we are being sold how "good" our players are doing in the Gold Cup, it's very interesting to see that there are no rumors of anybody going abroad due to their performance on said tournament. I mean the market window is wide open now so they could pretty much sign for anybody, still not even rumors. I think that is a bad sign of things to come...

    P.S: I posted here since I want to talk about player abroad/going abroad.

    Yeah yeah, cyprus, iraq and uzbekistan will come knocking soon.

    I think this gold cup is going to help the case for players like bonilla and pineda if they so happen keep up their form abroad. Maybe even fito... but ill wait for something concrete then speculate.

    I think an issue arising is that a lot of these potential guys are in Alianza and Pohl has shown to be a difficult person to deal with at the negotiating table.

    Now this one I would treat with cautious optimism since we all saw what happened last time.

    Would be cool to see him get the opportunity but if I'm being brutally honest, he is not a guy that I can see succeeding abroad. Hope that I'm wrong because i have been following this guy since his days at Chivas USA.

    The team made it official 5 days ago on twitter. Theyve played 3 games, not a single point. 2 goals for, 9 against. Uuuf

    Santamaria is 26. He can still provide for the NT. Wonder if Lara has any plans to call him in

    The CPL won’t necessarily be a step up quality wise.

    The NASL should disband. It'll stop our players from going to that 'league'

    BTW, the regular USL season is over. Playoffs are next. Teams in playoffs that have a Salvadoran player or one who could play for ES are :
    Reno FC- Junior Burgos
    Tulsa Roughnecks- Joaquin Rivas
    Bethlehem Steel- Tomas Romero
    Charleston Battery- Justin Portillo

    Other USL teams who have a Salvadoran in the USL but didn't make playoffs:
    Timbers 2- Tomas Granitto
    Orange County SC- Oscar Sorto

    Probably not, but I was mostly happy about CPL finally happening, and taking in the Canadian teams that play in US leagues.

    Romilio Hernandez plays for Phoenix Rising, and are in the playoffs too.

    I'm not sure if Portillo has expressed interest in representing ES, that's why I haven't included him in the official Salvadorans Abroad list.

    Oops, my bad. He's only played 2 games, but he is still there.

    He has shown no interest, but he has the blood in him. Put his name out there based on that tbh

    Dustin Corea 22 app-18 starts-6 goals-4 assists-1520 mins for FC Edmonton
    Richard Menjivar 5 app-4 starts-268 mins for NY Cosmos
    Andres Flores 25 app-23 starts-2 goals-4 assists-2092 mins for NY Cosmos
    Irvin Herrera 13 app-7 starts-2 goals-1 assists-579 mins for NY Cosmos

    Herrera should have never left SLFC after that monster season that he had and Corea needs to leave Edmonton now especially since the new Canadian League will be a step down in quality, him and Richard need to leave for the USL.

    Just notes on these two guys

    Renato Punyed 5 app-4 starts-1 goal-308 mins for IR(Icelandic 2nd division on loan from IBV) not bad considering that he was loaned late and it's his debut pro season.

    Amando Moreno 5 app-4 starts-1 goal-273 mins for Dorados(Ascenso MX on loan from Tijuana) still think that he is promising and he has no chance for the USA or Mex at this time or in the near future.
