- a keeper the whole barrio prays for in goal · a defender with a 1982 poster on his wall at the back · Mágico González, but he keeps sensible hours in midfield · a striker auditioning to be the next Mágico up front
One World Cup, forty-odd decisions, no second leg. Pick the shape, name the squad, make the calls from the touchline, and see how far El Salvador can go. Free to play, one sitting, no sign-up.
