Big, Big Football News: Verdes at the top of the League, On Uncaf's Home Page, & Belize World Cup Qualifier VS Mexico

Yes thats right!! Huge Football News!!! For Belize and For the Verdes.

Verdes Leading the League, Featured on UNCAF’s Home Page

Verdes Leads the Leagueyou’ve heard right, somehow after a couple dissapointing losses and  some draws Verdes gained it’s rythm and are now serious contenders for the top spot in the league.  It all happened when they won over local rivals Santels 2-0, with two goals from Danny Jimenez. Then they went on to rally a win in Dangriga, and to the Revolutionary Conquerors no less (the Belize team that won the Honduran Champions, Real Espana), once again with a hat trick from Danny 3-2. You know whats scary is that this guy went on local TV and said he’d score 3.. how’d he do it? and against one of the most difficult teams in the league?  They then beat Suga Boys Juventus at home 2-1. Unfortunately i havn’t been able to go to all the games, but I’ve gone to the San Pedro Game, the Juventus game and to what i consider one of the most controversial and exciting game VS F.C. Belize at the MCC Grounds in Belize. The game ended with a tie of 2-2 with verdes rallying back from a 2-0 deficit. In the end of the game, the F.C Belize fans got violent and wanted to go after the Referees for a late penalty call in favor of the Verdes. It also ended in a sad note as Verdes’ Striker Danny Jimenez was escorted out by the police, this seemingly for  a non football issue.

It was a productive visit, as the Team’s Manager Sergio Chuc came up to me and asked if i had posted on about the Verdes on the Internet. After confessing that it was me, he gave me a heads up about the UNCAF article which is currently featured on the home page (http://uncaf.net/portal/modules/futbolmasculino/item.php?itemid=159 )  He also mentioned that its the first time UNCAF has featured a Belizean Team or the Leauge!! Way to go Verdes, another hightlight to add to their history books!! I also managed to get a chance to speak to him briefly about an offical website for the team, so look out for this .. It might be in the works soon!! In the Meantime the unoffical website is at http://www.verdes.bz   where you can leave your email to be notified when the site will be launched.

 Belize World Cup Qualifier VS Mexico? Strong Possibility!!

If we can manage to beat St. Kitts and Nevis that is!! I think  if the guys begin to train now, they can certainly have a good chance at trying to beat St. Kitts  & Nevis which ranks at 159 in the latest fifa rankings. If we do win the home and away series we get to play against the #1 concacaf team Mexico!! Wow, what an experience for the Belize Men’s National Team. what do you think we could try to upset Mexico like out neighbours Guatemala did? I think its highly unlikely but it doesn’t hurt to dream.
