Snip: With full college scholarships nearly impossible to land in men’s soccer, Edgar Nava has secured a tryout in Slovenia and will likely play for one of the country’s lower-level professional teams, Bonabian said. The same for Irvin Gijon in Belgium.http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/jul/11/players-sc-soccer-team-ready/ Presumably he's this '94 who is part of the YNT program: http://www.ussoccer.com/teams/u-17-mnt/g/irvin-gijon.aspx
I've always wondered what happen to this Kid. He was part of the USA U-17 team who played on 2009 Nike International Friendlies. We played along side Marc Pelosi, Alfred Koroma, Mario Rodriguez and Andrew Oliver. If remember correctly he was the captain of the team throughout the tournament. He was one of the best players in the team IMO. But that was the last I saw from him. http://www.ussoccer.com/News/U-17-M...nal-Friendlies-with-1-2-Loss-to-Portugal.aspx
Yeah, he was captain and scored penalty against Portugal. Gulley scored against brasil. I not sure details bc I froze my brain that night it was so cold. Last I heard he was in Belgium
Back in Vegas playing adult league indoor soccer last summer: http://www.iloveindoorsoccer.com/adult-leagues/vegas-indoor-premier-league/vip-summer-season
Gijon has left Belgium and signed with Toluca, according to this tweet. 553749149515259904 is not a valid tweet id Toluca has signed Irvin Gijon Rico, a 20 year old midfielder from the United States, coming from Mechelen in Belgium. ESPN article with some confirmation at the bottom. I imagine he'll be starting out with the reserves/U20s, rather than going straight into the first-team. @bungadiri @Friedel'sAccent I think a title change is in order, and potentially a move to the academy. Irvin Gijon at Toluca should suffice.
He's moved again, now to Monarcas Morelia Premier: Monarcas Morelia Premier (Segunda División) http://www.ligamx.net/cancha/jugador/109029/eyJpZENsdWIiOiAxMDc0MX0=
His smilin' face (from the link above): http://www.ligamx.net/cancha/jugador/109029/eyJpZENsdWIiOiAxMDc0MX0=
A goal in 16 games (15 starts) for Morelia's Liga Premier team in the Apertura. Also sat on the bench for the first team in the Copa MX 1 time. He started and went 77 minutes for Morelia's Liga Premier team in their Clausura opener. @bungadiri Irvin Gijon at Morelia should suffice
Actually the "should suffice" was already in the title after bungadiri decided to put it in as a joke (posts 5 and 6). I meant for it to stay there.
Wasn't the "should suffice" a reference to some past thread (on another player) that spiraled out of control? My hazy memory says Mo Edu, but I'm probably wrong.
Could be. That wasn't in my mind when I was trying to be clever, though. That said, my mind is pretty free of occupant thoughts most of the time.
