Apparently Cubans don't like Cuba either. At least not in the current state it's in. Reports are that 2 Cubans are missing from their hotel in Arlington and presumed defecting to the US. The Cuban National Team in in town to play the US National Team in a World Cup qualifying match. This seems to happen everytime a Cuban sports team touches American soil. It would seem that the Castro regime would not allow their team to travel to the US for any sporting events.

The current slate of missing players, while not confirmed as defections, reminds us of baseball players like Livan and Orlando Hernandez with their defections. Even Fidel Castro was a great baseball prospect who let his political aspirations get in the way of a Major League career.
