Professional career

Cantillo, a native of

Team America. That year, the U.S. Soccer Federation attempted to create a more successful U.S. national team by entering the team into the NASL as a franchise. However, the team stumbled to a 10-20 record and the bottom of the league standings and USSF pulled the national team from the NASL at the end of the season. In 1984, Cantillo returned to the Tea Men who by then played in the United Soccer League.[9]

National team

Cantillo earned eleven

caps with the U.S. national soccer team between 1979 and 1982. He has represented his country in four FIFA World Cup qualification matches.[10] Although part of Team America in 1983 he was never called up for the U.S. games that year. Cantillo played his first game with the U.S. in its only 1979 match, a 3-1 win over Barbados.[11] He played his last game on March 21, 1982, in a 2-1 win over Trinidad and Tobago.[12]
