We have signed Sidney Rivera for the 2019 @NPSLSoccer season. Sidney brings much professional experience including @OrlandoCitySC Puerto Rico FC and recently Than Quang in Vietnam. He also just got his first cap for the Puerto Rico National Team. Big get for us. #morristown pic.twitter.com/cfPMbiIlGl— FC Motown Celtics (@fc_motown) April 11, 2019
He's with Police FC in Bangladesh: Police FC moved one step closer to the quarter-final of the TVS Federation Cup 2019 with their first win of the season, beating an underprepared Arambagh Krira Sangha 3-1 in the second Group A match at Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka Saturday. American-born Puerto Rican striker Sidney Rivera netted a brace and substitute forward Mohammad Shadhin added the other, while a Jakir Hossain Jiku shot led the consolation own goal for Arambagh, who have turned from mediocre to minnow after the casino crackdown in the capital. https://www.dhakatribune.com/sport/football/2019/12/21/underprepared-arambagh-no-match-for-police EDIT: I think that makes him a teammate of this guy: https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/sanjay-karim-in-bangladesh.2107688/

Truly, it's the world's game. He is a big dude, but he looks like an absolute monster out there! The goal at 2:00 in that video is probably one of those the article above calls "world class."
