San Jose - Costa Rica.

In an emotional soccer game celebrated yesterday in the national stadium of San Jose Costa Rica between the selections of Costa Rica vs Honduras played at 4:00 pm local time, 6:00 pm Eastern time of the United States.

Costa Rica qualified to the world championship Russia 2018, managing to get into the group of already 13 selections that will be in the maximum competition of the world-wide soccer.

That if the TICOS were not easy to play the game before his former coach Jorge Luis Pinto Afanador tactically raised a game very smart of a Honduras that until the 93 minute was getting the victory.

It was in a play of those magic, crack, to pull out an ace sleeve a brushstroke player top the captain Bryan Ruiz was invented by hooking a ball and make feints inside and out was taking off several players Hondurans and make another hitch forward to center a perfect ball with his leg less skilled (right) and find the front of Kendall Waston who jump and win a ball between three defenders in Honduras, to madness and joy of 38.000 people who blew up literally the national stadium of San Jose, with the head of the giant of 1.95 cm that gave the classification to his team and joy to more than five million Costa Ricans around the world.

Bryan Ruiz arrives in Costa Rica

By : Jose Alvarado Sandoval ( Dj Malanga )

San Jose - Costa Rica ( Watch the Video below )

Bryan Ruiz: "I really miss playing games, I come here to give everything" 

The captain of the national team, Bryan Ruiz, could not hide that his moment in Portugal is complicated, where he misses playing regularly but hopes that everything will be solved soon and is now focused on sealing the ticket to Russia.

How it arrives?

Glad to be here, to join the national team, last two matches, we hope to seal this against Honduras. It's a point, we are a mature group, it's 90 minutes, we do not think about the point, it's winning against Honduras.

Without regularity?

I have worked three strong weeks, I feel happy, I wish I could celebrate with the country and the group.

Do you take it as a relief come to the Selection?

It is always an illusion to come to the national team, my situation there is one, when I played there I also came with great enthusiasm, I do not use the national team, I always come forward.

How do you assume that party?

Quietly but with intelligence that we have had in recent years, it is 90 minutes, they must make a smart game, we want to attack them when we see fit.

Morbid by Pinto?

We leave that for the fans and the press, we do not get involved, I have nothing against him, I know they have that morbid, lends itself to everything, focused on the games, looking to win regardless of the coach.

Strange not to play?

Every player likes to be playing games, personally I'm not in that, I need, I'm strange playing games, I come to give my best effort.

Additional and without wanting to bother I want to add that yesterday I saw the game Sporting CP vs Porto, wanted to look because Bryan Ruiz did not enter into the plans of Jorge Jesus and the truth without offending, but Sporting does not have a player like Ruiz in his current squad. I think that this decision of the coach passes more for an outlet of nail, than for football.

In the world there are good and bad players, Bryan Ruiz is good, this is the best stage of a soccer player at 32 years.

I think that from what I saw yesterday in the game in Alvalade, Sporting more to Ruiz, than the player to the club.


Each head a world, and the head of the president and the coach are of stubborn and arrogant people.

So far Paddock's motivations are unknown, and even his family members said they have no idea what happened to the discreet retiree.

His brother Eric Paddock told the Las Vegas Review-Journal: "We have no idea what happened. It's as if an asteroid had made an impact on the family. "

According to him, his brother had no political or religious ties. "He was just a normal guy. Something broke in him, something happened, "he said.

"We are in a state of shock," he added.

Meanwhile, on NBC the man said that his brother enjoyed making trips to Las Vegas to attend shows and bet on casinos.

According to police reports, Paddock had no police record or arrest record. In addition to being a certified public accountant, he had a pilot's license and held a major hunting permit, valid for the territory of Alaska.


The public information available indicates that he lived in a residence next to a golf course in the small town of Mesquite, near the division of Nevada with Arizona, about 130 kilometers from Las Vegas.
