News on Gustavo Cabrera from Guatemala

edaw33 · 06-25-2005, 03:42 PM

The Guatemalan Newspaper "Nuestro Diario" is reporting in it's issue today that Gustavo Cabrera will travel to Salt Lake City MONDAY for a three day training/review with RSL. This news together with Spence Checkettes stating on the post game show that they will have a few roster changes this week, mean he is one of the changes.

Being the ANTI-BEHNKE, may i officially wish him good luck in the womens league.

I cut the page out and put it on my webpage if you read spanish!

Can we sign him now? Is Guatemala in the Gold Cup?

Yes Guatamala is in the Gold Cup.
But after supposedly getting a "own goal" against Mexico in the WCQ, I don't know if he is on the roster anymore.

He's still on the roster. He is the best defender Guate has probabbly ever had.

According to Seattle fans, Leighton stunk it up there this weekend (he got ejected).

Consider him gone (hopefully).

Good info.

Kind of odd that United has shied away from Central Americans. They make up a large percentage of their fan base.

I admit I don't recall seeing this guy play. So I'll defer to those who have.

Great quote from Cabrera this morning...

...I'm picking up a little [english] but on the field the ball does most of the talking.

He will be here another day then goes with the Guatemalan NT.
