This Costa Rican commentator was right yesterday then (they're 18 hours behind us):
Kenny Cunningham began the process to obtain VISA to travel to NZ where he played with the Wellington Phoenix
AND THIS ONE HAD IT RIGHT TOO::
Kenny Cunningham arranged in Australia and will not play with Saprissa. It is better to go to a country with a mediocre football and paying well, than stay in a mediocre team, I say, in a mediocre and low-wage Championship.

I reckon it's a great signing and he's going to be one of the best imports in the A-League this season.
Current Costa Rican international (sitting second in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying) coming off a Gold Cup quarter-final just days ago.
Played in the Copa Libertadores, the South American club championship, for his Bolivian team, the Strongest earlier this year against Brazilian powerhouse Sao Paulo etc.
Highest status player to ever sign for the Nix in my books.
Will be good for Carlos to have a countryman to keep him company and make it more likely both Costa Ricans will stay around for a while. Always works better when you have two imports who speak the same language etc. (Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricky Villa at Spurs late 70's)
Yes, we have our own Ardiles and Villa pair now !!!
May also be a portent that Costa Rica will invade the Kermadecs in a few years time.
We will have to retaliate by sending a taskforce of ex- America's Cup yachts or the Cook Straight ferry.
