I wonder why Gustavo decided not to play with his national team. Maybe he wants to stick with RSL and help develop the back line, especially since he's the main man on defense when Eddie and Douglas are gone?

Debate on BS pondered this question too.
Another idea is that Chris Brown has been playing Cabrera's spot more and more with Ellinger heaping praise upon everyone's fav journeyman.
Add this to the fact that one of the 5 SIs on RSL (Sequira, Scarlett, Torres, Walsh and Cabrera) must either get a green card or leave makes one wonder if perhaps Cabrera isn't just trying to save his real job at this point.

I'll bet he'd be going if they were preparing for the WC. He may miss games in 08 and 09 preparing for 2010.
