So far this year a certain MLS forward has these statistics:
12 games, 1 goal, 566 minutes
Also this year, a certain forward has the following statistics during World Cup Qualifying:
5 games, 6 goals, 441 minutes
The name of these forwards? Carlos Ruiz and... Carlos Ruiz. That's right, the same player who can't seem to buy a goal for Los Angeles or Toronto this year is a scoring machine for Guatemala.
So what's the difference? Are CONCACAF defenses that much worse than those in Major League Soccer? Does Guatemala's midfield give him that much better service than David Beckham or Amado Guevara have this year in league play? Is he pining for the Hooters he helped open instead of attending the All-Star Game? Only El Pescadito knows for sure.
