Celtic ruined his progress despite having a good first season with the club. I just pray that he doesn’t leave Europe
Seems his next club could be Dynamo Kiev. Dynamo along with Shaktar are two big European clubs but the Ukrainian league has really suffered since the war with Russia, it's slide down the rankings which is understandable. I imagine they probably pay similar to what they do in Greece but seems a shame he's bouncing to yet another league. In hindsight landing with Panathanikos, who he was linked to before moving to Olimpiacos, might have been the better choice.... on a similar note, I wonder what would have been if Suazo signed with AC, instead of Inter - he would have had much less competition at AC. Anyway, seems like they're something deficient in Palma's game that elite managers don't like.
He's not fast and to me seems like he holds the ball up too much. Doesn't comes off as much of a team player if I'm being frank. Who really knows, but I feel like he's only a good player if he's one of the focal points of an attack which hasn't been the case since Athens.
Well Joseph Rosales is now in the center of controversy for allegedly saying a Racial slur to a Black player on the Vancouver Whitecaps team, we will see what he actually said after an investigation. Might be a nothing burger like the German U23 Team accusing us of racism because the one black player on their team got upset that one of our guys referred to him as negro in Spanish, despite the fact we also had many black players on our team.
Luis Vega rejects contract extension with Motagua and will be a free agent this summer. https://www.deportestvc.com/liga-nacional/luis-vega-toma-decision-final-con-motagua-2025-05-08
I wish that more players would start doing this, there are like a handful at Olimpia that should have tried their luck abroad.
https://www.deportestvc.com/selecci...a-convocado-honduras-eliminatorias-2025-05-12 Looks like they are actually going to try to get Agustin Azumendi to the NT, FIFA would have to approve because the only thing that would hold him back is that he didn’t live in Honduras for 5 years.
I think they said, with his daughter being born in Honduras, he qualifies for Honduran Citizenship. But idk if that's true or not.
Btw, "We are going up! We are going up!" Had Leeds gone up one season sooner, I would've fancied the attack more than the one we're actually going up with, but we'll see what happens this summer on the recruitment side.
He might not be as good but he is still one of the top scorers in the league and Motagua’s best player atm. I’m all for more talent options especially at the Forward position, if he wants to try to follow his brother at the NT then I say that would be another plus.
He's not Motagua's best player at the moment. Thats Zapatilla Mejia. Rodrigo doesn't hardly move the needle as much as his brother Augustine. There's a reason why he's in Argentina while Rodrigo is rumored to go to Costa Rica.
Joseph Rosales only gets a 3 game suspension but still declares in an apology that he didn’t use discriminatory language toward the opposing player.
Not comparing him to his brother who is obviously the better player at least right now but he is also 4 years younger and is going to break a 20 goal season this year for Motagua.
Yea his goal ratio against smaller teams versus the big 4 is telling. He has two more years in his current contract, so plenty of time to prove himself like his brother in crunch time scenarios.
So the rumors of Policia Nacional buying their way into the League turned out to be true, reportedly they have bought 70% of Genesis and the Clubs will merge the team will leave Comayagua and will play in La Paz.
Nah that extra year was a blessing in disguise, just look at how Southampton faired. The roller coaster of a season and Champions on the last day can't be topped by an extra season in the Prem... for many the journey might even have been more fun than the destination, ha.
Let's be honest, we'd take both of them if we could! Don't want to end up like el "Tri-nacion" Mexico back in the day but any one who plays and builds a life for the required time is un Hondureno mas, in my book. Feels it's a bit different then players that go and end up living in more desirable countries.
We make it out of the group but not 1st and get knocked out the next round, we always play like crap at the Gold Cup.
