Real Maryland in World Cup qualifying
World Cup qualifying in CONCACAF had a busy weekend. Former D.C. United players Ronald Cerritos and Eliseo Quintanilla both scored in El Salvador’s 12-0 embarrassment Anguilla. Cerritos scored a hat-trick while Quintanilla scored once.
With Cerritos planning to continue his professional career in our area with upstart Real Maryland of United Soccer Leagues, his scoring efforts are a positive sign, and plenty to get the sizable local Salvadoran population excited.
However, the completely lopsided score couldn’t have made organizers of the next leg at RFK Stadium happy, as it’s hard to imagine many people will pay to watch another drubbing. Will Anguilla even send a team?
Wouldn't it be great if the El Salvadoran team gave some local DC talent the dream chance at earning a cap? If they spent the right amount of time here scouting area men's leagues, no doubt they could field a full team easily capable of not giving up 12 goals in what is supposed to be a home game for Anguilla at RFK stadium on March 26th.
Why is a game at RFK a home game for Anguilla? Apparently, they could not offer a suitable facility to host an international match, but couldn't have been happy that CONCACAF approved RFK. The Washington D.C. region boasts the 2nd largest concentration of Salvadorans in the world.
Speaking of Real Maryland, Daryl Ferguson was not called in by Barbados for their World Cup qualifing draw against Dominca. The new USL pro team making their home at the Maryland Soccerplex kicks off pre-season training this Sunday at 9 am on field 20. The public is welcome.Labels: Anguilla, Barbados, daryl ferguson, Dominica, El Salvador, Eliseo Quintanilla, Maryland Soccerplex, real maryland, RFK, Ronald Cerritos, World Cup
