El Salvador U23’s - Road to 2021 Olympics (Japan)

God our players allergic to passing, I see too many holding on to the ball and allowing the defense to settle.

Dueñas did not have a good game, he is partly to blame on the Haiti goal with that turnouver

Enrico Hernandez coming off for Eric Calvillo.

He was unlucky to contribute towards the Haiti goal, but other than that he was fun to watch IMO. Made some good passes and showed off his skills.

The U23 midfield does not know how to open the field for him, he would do much better on the NT imo.

4 mins extra, we just need one more to get out of negative GD

Unless Honduras curbstomps Canada by a goals differential of 4-0 that that’s it.

Perez and Dueñas are the standouts and need to be given opportunities in the NT.

Hope that Haiti goal doesn’t come back to bite us, and I think we could’ve squeezed in a third goal.

I think Romero was the other standout too. Made some great saves.

Well 2-1. It’s extremely frustrating to see players come into the second half and be ‘gassed’ (more like half ass) like Castillo. The worst PRT is he’s good.

perez shows quality but also shows why the US wasn’t calling him up anymore. He’s slow compres to their wingers. Dueñas I feel got a bit in his own head. Tried to do too much at times when it was easier to release. Marquez is gonna go the Puma Peña route & not be the target man we needed :/

claros, menjivar, el motorcito, & Renderos are the local players that stuck out to me. Rivas is good but too small, & Martagena looks promising but ehh. We already have Ceren & Narciso. The other 4 I would start calling up to every NT call up. The legionaries depending but they def looked good. Romero btw looked great in goal for me.

Now we need Honduras to route Canada.

SamKnight · Mar 25, 2021

USA is deep as hell and Perez plays in 3rd Division Europe a league that is a lower level than MLS, he is obviously talented but USA is too stacked for him to make it.

SamKnight · Mar 25, 2021

It’s over now, the best option was for Honduras to win because they had a +1 GD over Canada.

La Trucha · Mar 26, 2021

Canada and Honduras’ 1-1 tie means ES is officially eliminated.

This team was fun to watch, and I’m especially excited to see more of Enrico Hernandez, Joshua Perez, Tomas Romero and Eric Calvillo in the future and with the senior ES squad. I hope Hugo Perez can stay with us for a little longer.

Additionally, we have to commend @Hugo7346 and FESFUT for the efforts they made to bring in our expat players. Enrico really does look like one of SelectaTalent’s best findings.

Grimmjow316 · Mar 26, 2021

Now if only more defenders can be found we would be golden.

Really liked Redneros & menjivar. The CBs are a bit rough. Villalobos was decent but he tired way too fast. Maybe some CBS from abroad

Good call. I was super impressed with Claros in game 2 when he played RB. They moved him to CB for game 3 and was solid. I think he is one to look out for.

Him too he was great. I wouldn’t mind Renderos, Claros, Dominguez, & Menjivar in the back for our future.

Love their attitudes. Did you guys catch Perez in tears after the win against Haiti? That was heartwarming to watch.

It’s been a pleasure to wear this jersey and represent this country! All I can say is this team is special and these players are unique, warriors, and the future! Thank you my family, this isn’t the end of our history. pic.twitter.com/kzUyMo5oUN
