Speaking of…
Really wonderful feature from @elpasomatters’ @AlxHinojosa on the first Loco and, arguably, the first soccer player from #ElPaso to break through, @Omaresalgado. The quote from his dad, Eduardo, is spot on.
Nice profile of @Omaresalgado, the El Pasoan who was the first pick in the MLS draft, then the first player signed by @eplocomotivefc, and now a law student. By @AlxHinojosa.
“He opened the eyes of the soccer people to El Paso. There are a lot of kids in El Paso that played in the early 2000s that are now professional players.” – Eduardo Salgado on his son, former @MLS & @eplocomotivefc player @Omaresalgado
