Updated Costa Rica National Team
To Pategato and Goalgerd: okay guys, this is the proper squad update for the Costa Rica National Team. But first, I would like to express the enormous satisfaction that being part of all this gives me. I am glad to be able to provide you with a relevant and updated representation of this national squad. This team is based upon the 23 players that were called just a few days ago, to compete in the Gold Cup, the CONCACAF regional cup. Source
http://www.fedefutbol.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1214 These updates and corrections should be done taking into account the 2.5 version of the OF. Now without further ado:
First of all, we should kick out the retired players out of the team. Those players are:
-Marin
-Wanchope
Those two players will not represent Costa Rica anymore, that's for sure.
We will now proceed to the proper name corrections for the players that need them in the file. These corrections mostly consist of accent marks and reemplacing "n" with the letter "ñ". But there's something else: I should clarify one thing about the Costa Rican players' names. Most of the Costa Rican last names are extremely common ammong soccer players. When I say extremely, I mean it (small country). The thing is, well, suppose you're a Costa Rican: if you were just told the last name of a national soccer player, even if you were told that the player is in the national team, you will most likely not know which player it could be, you would need to be told his first name also. Of course, this is not always the case because not everyone has a common last name. My point here is, that when the costa rican commentators refer to these kind of players, they will never just say their last names, they will ALWAYS call out their first and last names. I feel that this is an aspect that should be taken into account for the player's screen names (of course, their shirt names are allright. Also, the shirts don't need the accent marks, but you should reemplace "n" for "ñ" when necessary).
So, these are the players that need name correction:
Player old screen name---Player correct screen name---Shirt (when necessary)
Umana--------------------Micheal Umaña-------------------UMAÑA
Martinez-----------------Martínez
Gonzalez-----------------Leonardo González
Gomez--------------------Gómez
Alfaro-------------------Wardy Alfaro
Badilla------------------Gabriel Badilla
Rodriguez----------------Rodolfo Rodríguez
Bolanos------------------Bolaños----------------------BOLAÑOS
Hernandez----------------Carlos Hernández
Nunez--------------------V. Núñez---------------------NUÑEZ
Saborio------------------Saborío
Fonseca------------------Danny Fonseca
Solis--------------------Mauricio Solís
Okay, what we'll do now is remove from the squad the players that were not called among the 23 nationals for the Gold Cup. These players should be put in the reserve section:
-Sequeira
-Martínez
-Gómez
-Mesen
-V. Núñez
-Bernard
-Danny Fonseca
-Mauricio Solis
And now, we will proceed to create the 10 players needed to reemplace the 10 players that we just reserved and retired (8 and 2 respectively).
For each new player I will provide name, age, height, weight, position, and a face picture. I do not know anything about stats so I will not give those to you, but what I will provide instead is a brief description of each players' ability and style so you can get a rough idea of how to give the stats.
Screen name: Lewis
Shirt: LEWIS
Age: 26
Height: 1,8
Weight: 73
Foot: Right
Position: Goalkeeper
Description: Lewis is just a third GK... with, you know, third GK stats.
Screen name: Cordero
Shirt: CORDERO
Age: 32
Height: 1,83
Weight: 75
Foot: Right
Position: Centre Back
Description: He reemplaces Marin in the main team and should have similar stats. Not much going for him.
Screen name: Chinchilla
Shirt: CHINCHILLA
Age: 28
Height: 1,85
Weight: 83
Foot: Left
Position: Lateral Back, left side
Description: he's okay (fat), I guess he used to be better. It has been a while since he was last called. He had been playing in Austria and made an impression worthy of a recall for the national team. Precise long passing.
Screen name: A. Núñez
Shirt: NUÑEZ
Age: 30
Height: 1,76
Weight: 71
Foot: Right
Position: WB (Wing Back Right of Left)
Description: generico player
Screen Name: Micheal Barrantes
Shirt: BARRANTES
Age: 23
Height: 1,77
Weight: 71
Foot: Left
Position: DMF (Defensive Mid-fielder)
Description: good! above average, attacker despite his position, shoots from afar, talented, that's it...
Screen Name: Ruiz
Shirt: RUIZ
Age: 22
Height: 1,86
Weight: 70
Foot: Left
Position: Offensive Midfielder
Description: AWESOME PLAYER. Before going to Europe, this guy was just a shabby, skinny, tall kid. Now he's got the shape for football and he's an outstanding dribbler with good scoring instinct. Very good overall.
Screen Name: Allan Alemán
Shirt: ALEMAN
Age: 23
Height: 1,64
Weight: 60
Foot: Right
Position: Forward
Description: this guy is a first timer and his calling was a surprise. He is known as the savior of his club, the strategy was to put him on the game with just 25-20 minutes left, and he would always score, twice even. Very fast, good scoring chance, shooting from afar, but not so good dribbling.
Screen Name: Myrie
Shirt: MYRIE
Age: 24
Height: 1,83
Weight: 77
Foot: Right
Position: WBL (Wing Back Left)
Description: Great player, very much above average, excellent dribbling, and the ability to go on the offense when needed.
Screen Name: Fonseca
Shirt: FONSECA
Age: 33
Height: 1,72
Weight: 70
Foot: Right
Position: Forward
Description: a returning player, you can find him in previous versions of PES, his false name was Funcheka. Very good overall, the player who has scored the most goals in this national team.
Screen Name: Alonso Solís
Shirt: SOLIS
Age: 27
Height: 1,78
Weight: 68
Foot: Left
Position: Forward
Descrption: just above average, head scoring, his shots nearly always travel close to the ground, with decent scoring chances, even from out of the box.
