Episode 71- Accepting the Challenge with Pablo Punyed

We go over the La Selecta's dismal performance at the 2025 Gold Cup. Time is ticking. Will an overhaul of personnel help La Selecta's chances for 2026?

La Selecta is in the final round of qualifying. We go over el Bolillo's first matches at the helm, and what to look forward to between now and November. Will Panamá, Guatemala, and Suriname keep us from reaching the World Cup, or will La Selecta itself get in the way?

The Bolillo Era begins, the honeymoon has started, the clock keeps ticking... what does this mean for the national team? We break it down.

The word of the day is inevitable.  Despite a short window of preparation and little to no hype heading into qualifiers, El Salvador's U17 squad has qualified to another youth world cup.  We talk about Fito's retirement, Norberto Huezo's legacy, and the storm brewing in El Salvador heading into March.

The results continue to go La Selecta's way as they hack their way into League A and Copa Oro for the upcoming year.  We break down the good, bad, and the ugly... a lot of ugly.  Plus Hugo gives us his scouting report on recent call-up Gabriel Pereira.

Another opt-out affects La Selecta while heading into the 2nd Nations League window.  It's become a thing.  We discuss that, Dóniga's tactics, Gama's "legacy,"  and the overall appeal of watching La Selecta when playing away in the Caribbean.

The road to Gold Cup 2025 starts off... "perfectly"?

We sit down with Pablo Punyed, our 1st guest ever to talk about his comeback, staying ready, getting Concacaf'd, and his outlook for the future. 

The winless streak is over.  La Selecta avoids disaster in Suriname by taking a 3-1 win over St. Vincent and the Grenadines.  Is it time to cheer?

It's the Opening Day of the 2026 World Cup Qualifying campaign. Puerto Rico is first up, we break it down.
