Guatemalan Football News, Info. & Women's NT(XI)

Hopefully they get scouted by colleges in the states so they can play at a higher level.

 

That would be awesome. Alot of talent in that group of girls.

 

Or Canada, especially since two Guatemalans have already played there: Maria Fernanda Rossell and Diana Burmester, both who were part of the first ever Women's national tam that won the UNCAF Cup in 1999. Rossell is the founder, president, and still player of Futsal Club Champions CFS, the current national champions.

The top scorer of the Apertura tournament, Rocío Velásquez, was dropped from the squad. Calderon must not have been impressed with her (but the line of forwards selected seems quite good).

As long as it's not the goalkeeper. That chick is built like a brick sh*thouse. LOL

 

^ Actually the keeper for that game was Ana Spross who is no longer active and was quite the veteran. The current keepers are bit more fit.

 

"quite the veteran" Cha Cha's P.C. way of saying fat and out of shape.

 

Oh, she was fat, no P.C. needed. But she really was a veteran, at 28, compared with the rest of the team, who were mostly 18 to 20 year olds.

 

Here's my best guess of how the ladies' team is going to look:

------------------Lemus------------------
Rivera----C.Monterroso----Brooks----Ramos
-----------------Lohaiza-----------------
---Martinez-------Perez------Suriano-----
-------M.Monterroso----Pineda------------

 

Larguísimo viaje para la sele femenina. Todo sea por irva demostrar algo bueno.

BC Place, Vancouver, Canada



Stream: http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/concacaf_woq/

Temperatures are about -7 ºC (29º F) outside ,but about 18 ºC (64º F) inside the stadium, so they should be comfortable enough I think. The other teams in Guate's group are the US and Rep. Dom., who will face each other right after Gua-Mex.Tournament started today with CRC 2-0 CUB and CAN 6-0 HAI in the other group. Costa Rica looked very, very good against Cuba.

I was watching Jorge Ramos y su banda and they said Guate wants to host the 2017 U-17 world cup
That would be huge if it happens

 

UY!!!!! Perdieron las chavas, 5-0. Sucks.

 

Falló Calderón al esperar tanto para hacer los cambios. No se puede esperar a ir perdiendo por goleada cuando se ve claramente donde estan los problemas. Idania Perez inexistente (la marcaron bien, seguro vieron videos). La contencion y la defensa central problemas graves. No estoy seguro de porqué Coralia Monterroso no jugó. No creo que hubiera estado peor que Barrios. Brooks es combativa y móvil pero se fue de largo tratando de interceptar en dos de los goles. Hubiera sido mejor correr al lado de la atacante para estorbar. El problema es que parece que entre todo el equipo no se llega a 3 defensas decentes.

Las demas jugadoras casi todas jugaron bien. La capitana Wendy Pineda fue la mejor, se le noto la experiencia y el liderazgo, y paso la bola con seguridad.

 

How many goals did my baby Alex Morgan score? =P
