Edgar Castillo is already gringo (almost)

Finally carried out his threat. A few months ago, defender Edgar Castillo said he was considering defending the U.S. shirt instead of that of Mexico, as the Tricolor had received very little attention. On Monday received an express invitation for the friendly against Denmark, and today has aligned for 30 minutes with all the stars and stripes. While this game does not mean that Castillo can not slip into the shirt of Mexico in the future (because the meeting was of a friendly nature), if it shows the breakdown of defense combined with the Aztecs.

Castillo was called up to the Mexican national team in the era of Hugo Sanchez, who gave him his first minutes with the Tricolor. With Sven-Goran Eriksson played another game, while Javier Aguirre summoned him but the defender did not play because he lost his passport. The alleged loss of documents raised suspicions among media and fans as having played the Gold Cup (official competition ), its future would have been hopelessly to Mexico. Castilo Will received any calls from across the border to wait for an opportunity?

Now the Tigers side will fight for a place in the 23 players that Bob Bradley will take on South Africa. From my perspective, has very little chance of plunging into the template the World Cup. On the other hand has the advantage of their youth, that can be achieved (at suitable) to arrive at Brazil 2014. Are you missing an important element in Mexico: A resounding no. I could enumerate at least five or six most talented and best. So it only remains to wish him Edgar. Would not have missed their choice.
