Episode 80- ES v GT WCQ

Hugo fills us in as he joins the coaching staff and team in Guate.  Is something brewing in Guatemala City?PS We going on five years and counting! Thanks to everyone for listening/watching us for the past five years!

Hugo's been called up, we go over his experiences being re-introduced as Official Scout, the job ahead, the status with el Cusca, and sensations as the last round of qualifiers start in less than a month.

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.
