What’s that I hear in the distance? Chanting? Fireworks? Homophobic epithets? Ah, yes. Soccer season is again upon us. To get you back into the swing of things after last season’s championship, our R&D (Research and Drinking) department hit the games and the bottle to get you ready for this year’s pursuit of la quinta luna.

FEBRUARY 2008

January Wrap-Up

Xela started off the season strong by defeating Heredia 1-0 at home and followed up with a 0-0 tie in Jalapa, a solid outcome considering our abysmal record away from the friendly confines of Mario Camposeco stadium over the past few seasons. The tie was a pyrrhic victory; however, as midfielders Carlos Quiñónez and Walter Alegría and fullback Édgar Herrera were all injured in the game.

What’s New?

Ghanan James Owussu has been signed to a one year deal to team up with Costa Rican Jhonny Cubero at forward after the defection of Brazilian fan favorite Israel Silva to Municipal.
