It seems to me that of all the foreign imports, Colombians and Argentines do the best in MLS. Not really sure why as the MLS style is nothing like what you see in South America.
Your able to bring in better players. There are so many Argies abroad and in youth systems that you can bring in decent ones. With Colombians our teams have no scouting ability, and just want proven players and they let good youth players slip by, or the teams are going bankrupt and let very decent players slip by like the Case of Roger Torres.
Edit: Solid debut. The team and the stadium looked practically dead until he came on. He is FAST and the crowd really got excited when he made a few Galaxy defenders look foolish. Bright future for this kid.
Milton Rodriguez (Real Cartagena) to FC Dallas when the transfer window opens on July 15th. Visa process already in the works, and he will begin training with the team in June.
I know! He needs to grow another 4 inches which I doubt, but he at least needs to put on 15 pounds which is very difficult for a young football player.
not really make him drink beer for a month during the off season gain like 15-20 pounds then start working out normally and it will hopefully become muscle he is too short, green and skinny right now
short and skinny, ok. But green? He plays like a veteran. Perfect vision, perfect touch, perfect sense of the field.
hoy lei lo siguiente en el colombiano.com Así como produce satisfacción tener 26 jugadores en las grandes ligas del fútbol (7 en Italia, 6 en España, 4 en Alemania, 4 en Portugal, 3 en Francia y 2 en Inglaterra) y genera orgullo apreciar a Yepes al nivel del brasileño Ronaldinho, Juan José Peláez recomienda no conformarse con ello les falto citar y respetar a MLS pero me pregunto: cuales son los 7 de italia y cuales los 2 de EPL?
EPL David Gonzalez - Manchester City Hugo Rodallega - Wigan Seria A Cristian Zapata - Udinese Juan G. Cuadrado - Udinese Mario Yepez - Milan Camilo Zuñiga - Napoli Ivan Cordoba - Inter Nelson Rivas - ? Ricardo Chara - Udinese (?) ERsos me imagino que son los de italia

Timbers supposedly close to signing Colombian forward http://www.oregonlive.com/timbers/index.ssf/2011/01/mls_combine_timbers_linked_to.html Any ideas on who might be headed up this way?
Re: Timbers supposedly close to signing Columbian forward Colombian, it wouldn't hurt to look at the the forum before posting.
Re: Timbers supposedly close to signing Columbian forward There are two colombian players about to join MLS teams, both are strikers and supposedly both will travel in the next days to USA, Yessy Mena and Faider Burbano from Envigado. Is Portland Timbers an MLS team?
Re: Timbers supposedly close to signing Columbian forward My apologies if I've broken forum decorum. I don't speak much Spanish, and so much of the discussion on this board is in Spanish, that I felt like a more direct approach was warranted. Baal88: The Timbers are a MLS team who are in the process of joining the league up from second division. I believe Faider Burbano is in the MLS Superdraft (a player allocation process for most young incoming MLS players), but this is supposedly a signing that would circumvent that. Huh, actually after looking him up, both Burbano and Mena were supposed to be in the Superdraft, but their status as of right now seems unclear.
Re: Timbers supposedly close to signing Columbian forward Two stickies and a subforum have the correct word(in english), more like lazy to me.
Re: Timbers supposedly close to signing Columbian forward do not worry mate - it will not happen again you are WELCOME WITH ANY QUESTIONS HERE AND THERE.....
Re: Timbers supposedly close to signing Columbian forward Sorry man no rumors if you are getting one it probably not a very famous one and an up and coming one unless your buying a sub 20 striker or Cristian Nazarit who it seems agents are really gasing the kid up and saying Chelsea and Real want him which is BS. Argie teams also want him but think his transfer is 1.5 million which MLS is not going to pay
