Rodríguez asegura haber sido el único representante tico de jugadores acreditado como agente en el torneo. Rodríguez trabaja con varios futbolistas convocados a este Mundial, incluyendo a Yerlan Sosa, Ethan Barley y Marcus Brown, y viajó acompañado de clubes y visores europeos para evaluar talento nacional.

[description] => Este jueves el equipo de Pumas, con el portero costarricense Keylor Navas titular, perdió 3-1 en casa de Pachuca en duelo por el repechaje en la Liga de México. La escuadra local se llevó la victoria con un gol del ecuatoriano Enner Valencia (33') y un doblete del brasileño Kenedy (40' - 55'). Para Pumas convirtió el ecuatoriano Pedro Vite (65'). En el primer gol de Valencia el guardameta tico poco pudo hacer tras un fuerte remate cruzado desde fuera del área. La reacción en el 2-0 no fue la mejor ante un potente disparo de Kenedy. Donde más tuvo responsabilidad el tico fue en el tercer gol. El brasileño sacó un remate de zurda dentro del área y la reacción de Keylor fue muy floja. Pumas se despide del campeonato dejando una pobre imagen.
