José Miguel Cubero Loría (born 14 February 1987) is a Costa Rican professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga de Ascenso club A.D. Sarchí.

Club career

Cubero was born in Sarchí. He made his professional debut for Herediano on 26 March 2006 against Santacruceña and had a spell on loan at Puntarenas in 2009. He signed a three-year contract extension with Herediano in April 2013.

On 31 July 2014, Cubero signed for Championship side Blackpool on a one-year contract with the option of a further twelve months. He made his Blackpool debut on 27 September in a 3–1 home defeat to Norwich City. In August 2015 it was claimed that Blackpool had snubbed an offer for Cubero from MLS club Seattle Sounders FC and that they had activated a 12-month extension to his contract.

On 31 July 2017, he signed a contract with CD Alcoyano.

International career

Cubero participated in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Canada.

He made his senior debut for Costa Rica in an August 2010 friendly match against Paraguay. He has represented his country in nine FIFA World Cup qualification matches and played at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the 2011 Copa Centroamericana as well as at the 2011 Copa América and was a non-playing squad member at the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Cubero played 54 matches with Costa Rica, scoring two goals. One of those occurred during a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification match against El Salvador, which resulted in a crucial victory for the Costa Ricans; Cubero considers it the most important goal of his career.

After Costa Rica defeated Greece to advance to the 2014 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals, Cubero was spotted crying profusely, while Waylon Francis tried to celebrate with him by yelling "¡Llore conmigo, papi!" ("Cry with me, daddy!"), a phrase now famous in Costa Rica.
