Since Reinaldo Rueda took Honduras to the World Cup in 2010 After 28 years and later, Jorge Luis Pinto will take Costa Rica to the best participation of a selection of Concacaf in the history of a World Cup in 2014there was always talk of the Colombian seal to bring Central American football to another level.
However, today that is just a reference. Even the veteran Hernán Darío ‘El Bolillo’ Gómez who so far is the only one to qualify and direct Panama in the World Cup panorama, today lives a moment of uncertainty in front of El Salvador.
The latest results in Cup Gold have questioned if the synergy of the past Colombia-CentroMérica can leave good revenues. And talking about results, Honduras was beaten by Canada (6-0), while El Salvador did not go from a goalless draw against Curacao in what everyone considers the worst game of the Gold Cup so far.
The catrachos have suffered more in the second stage of Rueda and already, locally, begin to lose patience with the technician who as of September must play in theory the direct pass to the World Cup with the favorite Costa Rica.
Some consider that the wheel shapes are not updated and that could cost the classification to Honduras, which still has two more games in the group phase of the Gold Cup.
In El Salvador, the story is not so distant, since a ‘Bolillo’ Gomez who is an old acquaintance on the world football stage for his participations with Colombia and Ecuador, in the Central American region and few remember what was done in front of Panama and question themselves because they added almost consecutive failures in front of Guatemala and Honduras.
Today, with a very limited Salvadoran team in terms of figures, the ‘Bolillo’ begins to depend a lot on the usual strong game of the Cuscatlecos and there is little hope that raising level in the Gold Cup and the final home run where it must face Panama, Guatemala and Surinam.
Otherwise it happens now with Mexican technicians who now live an unusual phenomenon in the region since there was always a separation of sports culture between Mexico and the rest of the countries in the area.
Luis Fernando Tena starred in the most important triumph so far at the head of Guatemala against Jamaica, while Miguel ‘El Piojo’ Herrera won with Sparks to Surinam.
The luxury exam for Herrera will arrive this Sunday when he must first be measured to his country, Mexico, which is directed by the experienced Javier ‘El Vasco’ Aguirre. Apparently, the replacement on the benches of Central America has arrived in favor of Mexico over Colombia.
