A Deal With The Devil- Nery Castillo and MLS

I admit, I am extremely excited about watching Nery Castillo playing in MLS, and as excited as I am, I am also very afraid that this kid will disappoint greatly. I do not doubt that he has the talent and skill to really put his stamp on this league, but at the same time, he also has shown in the past that he could really screw up a good thing.

3 years ago this kid was killing it on the world stage, with remarkable performances during the Gold Cup and Copa America, including one of the best goals ever scored vs Brazil by a player wearing the TriColor or any other colors for that matter.

His performance during these tournaments drew so much attention that Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk came knocking on the door and paid what was then a record transfer fee for a Ukrainian Club of 20 million Euros!

20 million Euros! For a kid that was an unknown to even some of the most die-hard fans, writers, and sports analysts in Mexico!
