When you are passed over for a national team place in favor of guys from a league where players are paid about as much as Blitzz players made, then there are issues.

Actually, Cabrera WAS called up. He declined the call up, presumably to cement his spot with RSL rather than play a meaningless friendly with his national team since he had to earn his contract out of the gate this spring with 5 SIs in training camp.

Also, Cabrera is a center piece for the National Selection, so his job is not in jeopardy there.

I'm confounded by what this means. The club issued this press release the other day. I just posted it above. Again, I became a fan of the Guate national team after the 2000 WC Qualies when they had a young team that took it to the US at home in an impressive fashion. Ruiz and Cabrera were two of the most noteworthy guys in that match.

Edit: Just found this from the Guate fan supporter sight from weeks ago - just in case the MLSNET website is not enough: http://www.lared.com.gt/internaCont.asp?idc=71214&id_cat=219
