Found Three! The Cubans have resurfaced…
…in Los Angeles. But not with Chivas USA as expected.
Defender Yenier Bermudez, midfielder Yordany Alvarez, and goalkeeper (hero of the 1-1 tie vs. the US U-23s) Jose Manuel Miranda - the all-star of the bunch - are now on trial with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
With WIcks and Cronin, I see Galaxy giving a long look at Miranda and most likely signing him. Bermudez was fantastic in the backline, while Alvarez showed some decent stuff. If anyone, expect Miranda and Bermudez to join the team on developmental contracts.
Hope these guys can latch on somewhere in the US. Just saw that Osvaldo Alonso - of the 2005 Gold Cup defectors - landed a contract with the Charleston Battery of the USL First Division. Alonso joins Lester More who signed for the Battery earlier this year.
Now where are the other four??
