My Take
Bryan Ruiz strikes me as Costa Rican football's quiet aristocrat. Standing 188 cm with a wonderfully soft left foot, he operated as an attacking midfielder and second striker with a grace that always set him apart. The detail that floors me is that he is the only Central American to have played in the Champions League, the Europa League, and the Copa Libertadores, a footprint that is frankly extraordinary for someone from a small footballing nation. I see his career as a roadmap for the kids coming after him, and as he moves into coaching, he keeps my admiration and my support.
