Edgar Castillo ( born in Las Cruces, New Mexico) was not deemed good enough to play for United States Olympic Development Team....plus lack of money ..detered him....father took him to try out for Santos when he was about 15 years old...he has started all Santos games and played brilliantly for each ninety minutes...I sure am happy I was able to see his talent when he was 10 years old playing in the Hispanic soccer leagues of El Paso......once again US soccer unable to recognize home grown hispanic talent.....oh by the way ..."GO SANTOS!!!!!!!!!!!"
