Houston Dynamo forward Erick “Cubo” Torres has been called up the Mexican U-23 national team for the upcoming Toulon Tournament. The tournament is a prelude to the 2016 Olympic games. Torres is the only Major League player to be called to the team.
What does Mexico see in him that our coaching staff does not? Yes, he finally got a start this Saturday at home against Sporting Kansas City but it remains to be seen if he “showed enough” to get consecutive starts. Torres has been here since last July and at first, the excuse for lack of playing time was that he was out of shape.
