    Colombia and Ecuador both went into France and lost their games...I think Honduras needs to play European teams and WIN in order for ppl to call them "Giants"....a 4-0 win against PR doesnt make the "Giants"....

    I was trying to be nice to Houndurans, but im happy and im proud of our boys, Boss played very well so did Gores which is not what I expected. I was impressed with Cabrera de boy is good if he had a better team around him he could of scored one, he showed sparks of brilliance and his just in the infancie of his career, his not gona stay in the Islanders for long.

    Cabrero and the youngsters from the island are the future of PR. I've been saying it for a while and I'll continue to say it.

    A Question: On the Fifa site it lists the motto of the Puerto Rican as "John is my name".

    Could someone please explain what this means? How did they come up with motto? etc.

    gracias!

    It's the script on the bottom of the Puertorrican Coat of Arms.

    Well that dosnt explain anything, it comes from the original name of the island, San Juan Bautista, later it was switch to the name of the capital city, Puerto Rico. So the motto comes from the old name for the island.

    lol no no thats surprisngly true...the giants part is well off but 3rd is true..

    and we all enjoyed watching PR even if it was 4-0, if it didnt rain maybe things couldv been different who knows but a dogfight game nonetheless and fingers will be crossed PR pulls off a miracle maybe of 4-0 in PR :p

    I think you guys will have a future just like Cuba is growing, but you should (sudar la gota gorda primero), we have been doing it for years. Players are everywhere in the world and this is making a huge difference on how the face their success and pressure to win. Players are learning what it takes to win at a real professional level with all its different pressures it entails. Regardless of the rain Puerto Rico did a good job in holding the score at nil for as long as they did. Our mid field and forwards can play anywhere in world and be successful so thats an immense amount of pressure on your defense. Please don't get discouraged with the result or even the result of the game in Bayamon, I think the team is going to come in for a killing even if the bench goes in. I wish I could go but have doubt's for my expenses if I go. Although Fort Lauderdale to PR is not bad. I never been to PR but there people are great and women are gorgeous(little crazy but aren't they all).

    Good luck guys and keep going forward, Hopefully you find some motivation out of this.

    Well, at least you guys are going in the right way. As for motivation, just look at Panama. They use to be complete crap a decade ago.

    Fui al juego de TFC y Dynamo. Con mi jersey del equipo nacional y mi badera de PR. Salude a MArcos de lejitos antes del juego. El jugo solo la primera mitad se veia cansado y no mantuvo buena cobertura. TFC lo usa muchos en "set peices". Concedio un goal en Stoppage al final de la primera mitad y no regreso a la cancha.

    Try tryouts for USL 1 and 2 teams, to see if you make it in a squad, that way you can have a better chance of making the PR squad.
