Mauricio Wright

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mauricio Wright Reynolds (born December 20, 1970 in San José, Costa Rica) is a Costa Rican soccer defender, a key member of the Costa Rican national team for over ten years.

As of early 2005, Wright has been capped 62 times for his country. After not playing at all in qualifying, he started in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and even scored a goal. He also played — and scored — in the 1997 and 2004 Copa Américas.

Wright played three seasons (1999-2001) in Major League Soccer, split between the San Jose Clash (later Earthquakes) and the New England Revolution. He scored six goals and added three assists in MLS league play. Wright has also played for Deportivo Saprissa and Club Sport Herediano in his native Costa Rica, Comunicaciones in Guatemala, and AEK in Greece. With Saprissa, he has won three national championships and two CONCACAF Champions Cup, and just returned to the team to play his last season as a professional, accomplishing his dream of retiring as a 'morado'.

During the team's opening match against China in the 2002 World Cup, Wright was wearing a jersey with an incorrectly-spelt name on the back (WRIGTH). Nevertheless, the spelling mistake didn't affect his performance and he even scored the second goal in a 2-0 victory.
