Guyana took a pretty bad beating at home against Costa Rica today 4-0 pretty much getting eliminated in the process though not officially. We have 2 games against them next the first at home (Sept 7) the next away (Sept 11). Hopefully we get some players back by then. Xavi will miss the game so we get to see what is looks like to have someone else at RB
If we take both games we'll be at 7 points. I say Mexico ties in CR and wins in Mexico. The standings I expect at the end of the next round might look like Mexico 10 points, El Salvador 7, CR 5 and Guyana 0. Just hoping.
Guyana's call up for their friendly this Wednesday against Bolivia http://www.es.concacaf.com/page/AsociacionesNoticiasDetalle/0,,12814~2879128,00.html ARQUEROS: Colin Edwards, Richard Reynolds DEFENSORES: Walter Moore, Colin Nelson, John Paul "JP" Rodrigues, Jamaal Smith MEDIOCAMPISTAS: Dwain Jacobs, Kestor Jacobs, Konata Mannings, Kayode McKinnon, Nick Millington, Andrew Murray, Dwight Peters DELANTEROS: Anthony Abrams, Sheldon Holder, Vurlon Mills, Daniel Wilson
The players will be called in August 27th so they will have a little over a week to work together if there aren't any problems with the call ups
Call ups are out http://www.elsalvadorfc.com/2012-08-23-nueva-lista-seleccion-cuate-castillo-no-esta-arturo-alvarez 1. Dagoberto Portillo (Firpo) 2. Benji Villalobos (Águila) 3. Carlos Romeo Monteagudo (Firpo) 4. Dennis Alas (Firpo) 5. Isidro Gutiérrez (Águila) 6. Osael Romero (Águila) 7. Elder Figueroa (FAS) 8. Alexander Larin (FAS) 9. Ramon Alfredo Sanchez (Metapán) 10. Eliseo Quintanilla (Metapán) 11. Nelson Bonilla (Alianza) 12. Christian Castillo (Alianza) 13. Alfredo Pacheco (Metapán) 14. Darwin Cerén (Juventud) 15. Steven Francis Purdy (Portland Timbers) 16. Víctor Turcios (RoPS) 17. Herbert Sosa (Alianza) 18. Mark Lester Blanco (KIL) 19. Jaime Alas (Rosenborg) 20. Rafael Burgos (Ostrava) 21. Milton Molina (Metapán) 22. Ricardo Ulloa (FAS) 23. Xavier Garcia (Firpo) 24. Jonathan Aguila Joya (FAS) 25. Derby Carrillo (Santa Tecla) 26. Yimmi Cuellar (Alianza) 27. Irving Valdez (Juventud) 28. Julio Martínez (Metapán) 29. Omar Mejía (Metapán) Still wonder what he is seeing that is having Bautista out of call-ups? Also what do you guys now of Valdez, Mejia, Martinez & Carillo.
carrillo is a beast he was playing for cal fc earlier this year but glad to see him get a cap for es but the line up looks solid ... sad to see fito and flores not fit to play
Guess from what he has seen Benji & Dagoberto might not be to his liking. But yeah four is odd well he will dwindle the list down, I wonder if there are any other Santa Tecla players worth looking at also should have seen if Orlando could be called up.
Martinez shouldn't be called up he has looked awful for a while now there are much better options then him at RM. There is nothing that Martinez brings that is positive right now he is doing everything bad. Carillo deserves a look given our other gk options he should loose some weight though and his distribution of the ball is shaky.
Well Sosa is out three weeks due to injury. http://www.elsalvadorfc.com/2012-08-24-herbert-sosa-lesionado-tres-semanas
omar mejia ? julio martinez?? as for carrillo portillo is garbage benji villalobos is always coming out of the goalie box like crazy there are few call ups who dont really play like yimmy
That's what's always bothered me about Benji he comes off his line too soon, too often, I think Castillo might lean toward Dagoberto starting I hope not but it's looking like it.
For me Carillo should be starting knowing that were not gonna play vs big team no disrespect to Guyana i think Derby deserves a chance.
Arturo Albarran in place of Herbert is being called in to the NT http://www.elsalvadorfc.com/2012-08-24-arturo-albarran-llamado-a-seleccion
Is there a reason why mesias does not get called up. It would appear that his size would benefit us against big athletic teams like Guyana. Or his he not to the level of turcius and Purdy?? Just asking
Mesias was really unstable in both of his two games he was called up for. I'm all for him being call up for some friendlies so he can have a chance to fit in, I remember Denis Alas sucked at first and looked out of sync but he eventually came thru. Hes also a dedicated player that's for sure.
i heard bein bought concacaf rights for all the team games buy yet i still see both games of el salvador will be on ppv http://www.integratedsportsnet.com/article.php?article_id=232 get ready to get $60 bucks taken away
With Turcios injured who do we see alongside Purdy from what I read Castillo did like using Elder at CB alongside Purdy but who else do you see taking that spot.
