Everyone´s pissed at how we did in qualifying. We know we have the talent, but our federation just can´t seem to get the right man to organize it.
Tomorrow Ronald Gonzalez will call up the players that will be playing against Argentina on January 26 in Argentina. Since it's only a local based team i hope he calls up our U-20 team with a few other additions like Keylor Navas, Josimar Arias, and Dario Delgado. Maradona will also be calling up his team which will also be local based players most likely including "La Brujita" Veron, Martin Palermo, and Clemente Rodriguez.
Ronald Gonzalez calls up 22 players....if Argentina calls up an experienced team...we're going to get owned since we have a lot of scrubs...some key U-20 players weren't called up like Roy Smith, David Guzman, Josue Martinez, Daniel Varela, Carlos Hernandez, and Allen Guevara. Porteros Keylor Navas (Saprissa) - Of Course Luis Diego Sequiera (Brujas F.C.) - Good young Keeper Defensas Dario Delgado (Puntarenas) - Good young defender Heinor Mora (Brujas F.C.) - ??? Bryan Oviedo (Saprissa) - Excellent but he might go on trial in Europe Esteban Maitland (Brujas F.C.) - ???? Jose Mena (Saprissa) - Excellent Douglas Sequiera (Saprissa) - hahaha wtf??? He makes Marin look like the Cannavaro of 2006. Cristian Gamboa (Liberia) - Excellent Volantes Cristian Blanco (Herediano) - NO...talented but injured all the time Esteban Sirias (Liberia) - Good Michael Barrantes (Saprissa) - Good when consistent Jose Cubero (Herediano) - nice young call up Esteban Granados (Cartagines) - Sucks Juan Gabriel Guzman (Perez Zeledon) - Should've been David Guzman. Josimar Arias (Brujas F.C.) - Excellent Diego Estrada (Alajuelense) - Excellent Delanteros Diego Madrigal (UCR) - Excellent Juan Monge (Perez Zeledon) - Showed talent at the end of last season. Marcos Urena (Alajuelense) - Excellent when he doesn't ball hog Argenis Fernandez (Alajuelense) - Good but too skinny and weak for Argentina Daniel Jimenez (Brujas F.C.) - Ball Hog....wheres Josue Martinez???
Costa Rica will play Switzerland on June 1st and will look for another Euro team for their Euro trip this summer. http://encuentrodeportivocr.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=153&catid=62&Itemid=203
Rumor is that Dario Delgado might be coming to the Sounders... but it's hard to find out ANY information on him. We're all a little confused because in the MLS Expansion Draft we protected Ianni, Tyrone Marshall, AND Hurtado (all CBs) while leaving our starting RB exposed (even though we wasn't taken)... So getting a 4th CB is odd news. Has he played outside back or midfield at all? We are all extremely happy with Leo Gonzalez out at LB. Is anyone here familiar with him?
