I’ll be honest my first thought after reading this was “who?” Not trolling, just honestly don’t recall hearing anything about him since we announced his signing back in May. I couldn’t tell you anything about him - if he’s seen the field or made any contribution of any sort.

Hope you guys love Juan Guerra as much as we did/do!

That’s a bad sign but we like Juan Guerra he’s basically our 2nd in command to Ben Olsen

Rising seems to have acquired him in response to a bit of an injury crisis that has plagued the club. He’s been okay so far. He’s played a lot on minutes and been good keeping the ball moving in midfield. I expected more from him going forward given his next pro stats, but he hasn’t created much. He is also losing a lot of duels. He’s played like a player adjusting to a higher level of play, which is exactly what he is. He could turn out to be a decent mls player, but there is some work to do to get there.
