We have until May 13 to have 30 players for the WC. Not until June 2 do we need 23. Who are your 30? Def going unless horribly injured obviously Gks - 3 1.) Ospina 2.) Mondragon 3.) Vargas DF 4.) Zuniga 5.) Armero 6.) Arias 7.) Yepes - been solid for Atlanta maybe Perea is what makes him look like shit in Yellow 8.) Zapata MF 9.) Cuadrado 10.) James 11.) Abel 12.) Aldo 13.) Valencia CF 14.) Jackson 15.) Bacca 16.) Teo 17.) Ibarbo 18.) Falcao - as long as he is able to run I think he will get called up Maybes - the other players who get called up consistently 19.) Perea - been pretty much shit forever but limited choices unless he calls new guys and don't see him calling 3-4 new CBs that can take his spot. Only 4 months till we never hear this clowns name again 20.) Carlos Valdez - hope he didn't get called last games to adapt to new club because he was great in all the games he played. Good partnership with Zapata and Yepes 21.) Balanta - Sub LB and CB possibility? Pekerman will take 1 player for the future that won't get many minutes and I see that being Quintero 22.) Macnelly - Can't see him not going unless Quintero starts all the next Porto games and does something special 23.) Sanchez - we don't have much talent in DM so think his and Valencias spots are safe until Copa America. 24.) Medina - With how well Arias is doing I see it hard for him to come but he can play RB/RM/CB so I wouldn't be shocked if he gets called 25.) Meija - staying home 26.) Adrian Ramos - Falcao goes to the WC then Ramos watches it from home. I doubt that no matter how many goals he scores that he will get Pekerman to drop Teo. 27.) Muriel - I see him watching it from TV. Bad season and with Ramos and Ibarbos form it will be the end of him. 28.) Guarin - banned 1st game and been bad for Club/Country. Watching us lift the title from home 29.) Quintero - Huge wild card for me. I like to think its him or Macnelly and Pekerman will bring him but I have a feeling Quintero will come. 30.) Darwin Quintero - Not many minutes but gets called up consistently Wild Cards 31.) Murillo - Please have him replace Perea !!! 32.) Angulo of Granada - Armero sub. Tho his defending isn't very good at all 33.) Aquivaldo - tho think he retired from the team 34.) Another GK Delgado of Millos or Neko? 35.) Daryo Moreno - media is talking him up but has little shot of making the team 36.) Pedro Franco - need CBs but see his call up as a huge huge wild card 37.) Carbonero - If he calls Teo and Balanta why not Carbonero? 38.) Cardona - to me much better than Macnelly but what can you do. 39.) Freddy Montero - he hasn't scored in 2014 yet haha but imagine this kid when he hits his on fire form at a WC 40.) Oscar Murillo - Nacional CB 41.) Meza - Santa Fe CB
I'm going to add to your list Craz Super Wild Cards 42.) Dorlan Pabon - Getting minutes for Sao Paolo but has a nack for inconsistency. RW/CAM/ST/LW/RM 43.) Pedro Franco - great youth player hasn't been mentioned by Pekerman. CB 44.) Hugo Rodallega - Would love to see the reaction of people faces when is called up haha. Seriously doubt he'll be called up. 45.) Gustavo Cuellar - another youth player who has yet to be called to the NT, would be awesome to see him 46.) Gustavo Bolivar - haha just thought he was an honorable mention. 47.) Jhon Viafara - 40 yard shot to win against Spain in the Final. 48.) Hector Quinones - LB, better player than Angulo but has disappeared. 49.) Vlad Marin - Power freekick but old not call up 50.) Carlos Carbonero - has potential to get call up actually but I doubt it anyways 51.) Juan Pablo Angel - ehhh not a chance in hell but then again just seeing him makes me feel bad that he never lived the dream. 52.) Diego Chara - actually a consistent player and plays very well. Too bad he doesn't get a call him and Cuellar would be spectacular. 53.) Gio Moreno - the 6'3 wonder is living life in China. Hopefully he comes back as a monk 54.) David Ferreira - mmmmmmm nah next! 55.) Sergio Romero - ST Deportivo Cali, has decent outings. 56.) Brayan Pera - ST Lazio, good tall player. 57.) John Mosquera - since Union Berlin the dude just disappeared. 58.) Fabian Vargas - the mother of all demons that Crazy hate. Fantasy Wild Cards 1.) Rick Grimes - dude is funny when he cries 2.) Walter White - badass 3.) Goku - just cause I love DB 4.) Ash - random idk... 5.) Spongebob and Patrick - can be our CB's if yepes and co are injured.
OMG, did Czd take over Tio's account? This is a very Czd type list. My Fav: 47.) Jhon Viafara - 40 yard shot to win against Spain in the Final. can you imagine if this ever happened.
por ahi salio la noticia que Aquivaldo soluciono los inconvenientes con Pekerman y que seguira siendo llamado a seleccion.... pa mi que Falcao va al mundial... eso significa que la lista de 23 se pone mas dificl de sacar.. yo la veo fea pa Muriel, Ramos y JFQ y es mas ... algo me dice que Armero la puede ver pesada pa llegar a los 23
Well, isnt Perea injured? Not sure how long Perea's out but at least Aquivaldo understands el 'proceso' so I wouldnt be so surprised by the move. Most of our starting defenders are in some type of trouble: 1)Zuniga - finally back on the 1st team awaiting his chance to get minutes 2)Armero - finally getting solid minutes @WHU, although not with very good performances (as could be expected considering he's just getting settling in) 3) Zapata - bench 4) Perea - just coming back from injury with CAzul. 5) Valdez - has had an injury plagued season with CASL. Not playing the minutes he probably would have wanted at this point. Yepes is playing full 90 minutes pretty much every week so that's a huge +. Arias is also doing the same. So with all the above uncertainties I would not be surprised if Mosquera returns. I do wish we had a little bit more pace in that CB position.
“Hablé con Pékerman y estoy listo para volver a la Selección”: Aquivaldo Mosquera. what do you think guys? Deserves a call or not? I herd that there's a chance that Pekerman will invite Jeison Murillo and now Aquivaldo can be an option as well. I didn't do bad in Mexico, he was decent and still is, but I don't know, I wasn't impress too much by him in yellow. On the other hand, Murillo and also Medina, have good season so far and can be very good options on the bench, not to mention Balanta as well.
i like aquivaldo - i would not have an issue with him on the team, but my current concern is more with zapata who has been riding the bench the past 7 games...on the flipside at least Yepes is playing regularly at the club level
He wants to go to a WC before he retires.... I say F U and stay in Mexico. Seriously how many players that are about to retire are we bringing? Yepes should go and is our CB with the best form currently. Dude is beastly in Atlanta. I have given up on hating his inclusion on the team. I just hate the whole he needs to go because of experience argument and not he needs to go because he is the best that we got in a very limited position. Aquivaldo and Perea..... here is where I get angry. Both suck and both cost us silly points in qualifiers. Are we just bringing these 2 because they never been to one? Mexico isn't any better then the Colombian league I don't get why these 2 get so much love. Aquivaldo is defiantly the least of 2 evils but I don't want to see either of these 2 assholes in the last 23. Mondragon? Did he have a good season? He is retired...... I don't see us not bringing him. I just have to still ask why? !!!
when does the team start to meet/train? A lot of teams are starting at the beginning of May as many leagues end at that point.
crzd did u get your degree online? How r u a Boston Univ grad? seriously Again, go to the PEKERMAN press conference only a couple weeks ago....all these BS questions will be answered.
haha and MBA my GF went to MIT. She is wicket smartt. Its kind of funny BU was rated 23rd in the US and I don't think the people there are all that smart. Its a crazy huge campus.
These were his words: El defensor confesó que habló con el técnico de la selección tras el partido en Paraguay por Eliminatoria: “yo le dije a Pékerman que contara conmigo para lo que necesitara. Me considero buen jugador y que puedo aportar dentro de la cancha y no fuera de ella. Siempre quiero estar en todas las convocatorias de la selección, pero siempre digo lo que siento”.
So Medina is getting surgery and I don't think he'll be favored by Pekerman despite him able to recover in time. http://comutricolor.com/se-confirmo-lesion-stefan-medina-sera-operado/
Who knows? What I do know is that he is not a RB. He is more of a natural CB and even moves forward almost like a Midfielder for Nacional at times. That adds to his value that he is versatile. The injury though could seal his fate. We shall see.
Well it's basically the city. My roommates little brother lives in one of the new buildings where the top floor you can see Fenway or all of Boston.
