This thread is dedicated to all the past greats of our game. That is players like Cienfuegos, Barraza, Rodriguez, Zapata, Huezo etc. Feel free to post info/pics/videos on these players here. I really don't know what the criteria should be classify as a "great" but i think anyone who was part of the squads that got us to either World Cup should be accepted. Also any player who is now retired and had a "successful" career abroad or at home should also be considered. On a final note, if you wish to discuss Magico Gonzalez please don't do it here. He has his own thread (to see click here), and any comments on him should be left there. Also any comments on Hugo Perez should not be listed in his thread (located here). And finally, to view the old Barraza thread, click here.
Raúl Díaz Arce up for DC United Hall of Tradition http://voices.washingtonpost.com/so...ds_hall_of_tradition.html?wprss=soccerinsider Go vote for Raúl Díaz Arce to be inducted into the DC United Hall of Tradition. This would be nice after Hugo Pérez was inducted into the US National Soccer Hall of Fame.
Re: Raúl Díaz Arce up for DC United Hall of Tradition He definitely should be voted in...makes me sick to read those comments that he wasn't a special player for DC...sad how people have forgotten his great memorys, and yet these are the same fans who adore Luciano Emilo.
Re: Raúl Díaz Arce up for DC United Hall of Tradition I voted. I stop being a "D.C. United fan" ever since they stop bringing in players from El Salvador. Mostly because RDA stop playing with them. But yeah I don't like how people forgot about him and how great he was. RDA would use to score more than 2 or 3 goals in most games can Moreno do that during the time RDA was playing .....no . Moreno in my opinion is overrated. Most people think Moreno was better than him since he has more goals than him. Thing is Moreno was younger so he lasted longer in the league and that's why he has all those goals.
Re: Raúl Díaz Arce up for DC United Hall of Tradition D.C. United to induct Raúl Díaz Arce and Danilo Noel Dirón to Hall of Tradition Very Happy to see this!
Re: Raúl Díaz Arce up for DC United Hall of Tradition GOOD 4 HIM.. OH' SHI* LA MAQUINA GOING 2 BE UP IN THERE
Re: Raúl Díaz Arce up for DC United Hall of Tradition So RDA was honored last night before the DCU-Seattle game...here's his new banner that will forever be inside whereever stadium DC plays... Thank you Raul!
Mauricio Cienfuegos Coaching An MLS Team? "In soccer you never stop learning, and I have the capacity to run an MLS team. I've had many years in this league and I know a lot about the players and the managers, and hopefully I am given an opportunity after this season." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sounders/2009881668_sounders17.html
Re: Mauricio Cienfuegos Coaching An MLS Team? I may be crucified for this but: I don´t like the guy. Hes arrogant, and hes a terrible coach. I respecthim cause he was a good player but that's it. He's no DT. But hey...If somebody goes with it, good for him
Re: Mauricio Cienfuegos Coaching An MLS Team? Somewhat agree, although i've never met him so can't really judge. I also feel the same way about RDA. On the other hand though, in my biased opinion , Cerritos is clearly the "nicest" and level headed player, when it comes to our past MLS stars.
Re: Mauricio Cienfuegos Coaching An MLS Team? The arrogant part is exactly my feelings, by I think he likes to play as the most humble guy in the block, until is too late to turn back I can see one day, the LA Galaxshit giving him some kind of coaching staff position, but not the main coach (at least not yet)
Re: Mauricio Cienfuegos Coaching An MLS Team? yes his arrogant but when he coached nejapa i saw a very disclipined side take the field when he was management
Tribute to Raul arana magana one of el salvador greatest players lost his fight with cancer, he passed away last night. Raul Magana played for fas, alianza, municipal de guatemala, tornoto falcons of canada, atletico marte, once municipal he was considered by most people as the best goalkeeper ever produced by el salvador he played all 3 games at the 1970 world cup in mexico after retiring from playing he coached several clubs in el salvador and recently alongside with ramiro cepeda helped atletico marte get promoted to the first division he was also part of the fifa coaching comission for several years, he was a big advocate for change in el salvador during those bleak peroids condolscence goes to his family a great player hopefully by me posting this people will read up, look for information and admire the work he did for el salvador football
Re: Tribute to Raul arana magana did you know he was'nt the goalie who got us to wc mexico 70, it was another guy. Managa started the world cup because of popular demand.

Re: Mauricio Cienfuegos Coaching An MLS Team? 2 questions 1.how do you know he's arrogant? 2.how do you know hes a terrible coach?
Re: Mauricio Cienfuegos Coaching An MLS Team? maybe he asked for an autrograph and he refused and the terrible coach i guess what happen to nejapa
Re: Mauricio Cienfuegos Coaching An MLS Team? well nejapa were a decent squad when he took charge considering the squad mwas made up of young players , he only quit nejapa because nejapa weren't willing to pay the players and assitant coach better pay and if anyone has been reading up the situation with nejapa they are struggling finacially for a month most people werent sure iof they were going to be in the first division and also they struggled to pay the rent to their staduim so they moved to chalatenango old stadium
Óscar Quiteño es más que un héroe en el FAS. Murió en el estadio que hoy lleva su nombre y es más que un símbolo del equipo asociado....... Link: Reservado para los grandes

Casi en sus 55 años, Fagoaga conserva la misma pasión por el fútbol. Dice que ya hay pocos defensas con su estilo, y se identifica con Carles Puyol....... Link: ¿Que paso con Ramón Fagoaga?
