Marlon Rojas
I found this profile of Marlon Rojas. It has some quotes from Pastorino. I'm excited to see how this guy plays next week against the USNats.
Quote:
29-Jan-2005 - Marlon Rojas will now join the list of overseas pros as he signed a contract with new American MLS side Real Salt Lake on Wednesday. Having been snapped up by coach John Ellinger, Real general manager Steve Pastorino announced Thursday that Rojas has signed and the chances are that he will be on the field when the team kicks off for the first time against the NY/NJ MetroStars on April 2.
"Rojas is another example of the network that John has among other coaches," Pastorino said. "He is a player that has been overlooked by the other MLS teams."

Now Rojas is a Done Deal

It looks like Rojas was not officially signed until now.

Our defense looks pretty strong. As long as Pope doesn't have International duty and Dunseth is healthy. So I'd put Rojas in the midfield.

Rojas is the fifth international to join RSL in advance of its inaugural campaign. Pope, Mathis, Williams and Zimbabwean forward Dipsy Selolwane are the others.


Huh? Pope and Mathis are internationals? Dipsy is from Zimbabwe? Call me crazy but I'm pretty sure both Pope and Mathis are American and Dipsy is from Botswana.

I agree with him that it might be a good idea to play Rojas at left mid. Then they could just slide him back when Pope is gone (and he's not).

You are right, that is worded funny and Dipsy is Botswanan. But I think he means those are the players who are "internationals" in the sense that they play for their national teams.

Anyone who plays on a national team is an "international." Mathis and Pope are "American internationals."
