VANCOUVER, BC – Christian Bolaños is “aging like fine wine.”
That was the headline of a Costa Rican newspaper this week after the Vancouver Whitecaps FC midfielder played a lead role for the Ticos in their World Cup qualifying victories over Trinidad & Tobago and the United States, recording a goal and an assist in both matches.
Bolaños, 32, is no stranger to the international scene.
He has already represented Costa Rica in two FIFA World Cups, including their memorable run to the quarterfinals in 2014 when he led the team in assists and chances created.
