Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008...next goal in 700 more minutes I'm talking about Colombia performing well. I want them to perform well in by winning the key games, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador etc etc. Of course we hardly qualifying but I am talking about winning those specific key games. What is this mess with I'm going all the way? Can't I say IF we qualify that we should perform well?
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 sounds to me like going all the way sounds like an aberration at this point.... argentina? soñar no cuesta nada, ellos necesitan los puntos al igual que nosotros y diego esta mostrandole al mundo que no es pura fama, un empate sera mas sensato pensar hoy en dia. Esperemos ganarle a Bolivia y por goleada, despues podemos sonar.....pero el problema es que ya dependemos de los demas tambien!!!
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 bueno dije yo k prefiero ver Colombia jugar mejor si clasificamos al mundial. Si un empate contra Argentina es logico pa nosotros, pero el sueño es ganar contra ellos, y creo si ganamos en Buenos Aires podemos clasificar. Con el nuevo director de Argentina pienso k es muy posible. Si o No? Es claro k los triunfos contra Bolivia y Venezuela son importantes. Pero un triunfo contra Argentina es gigante pa el pais pero mas con el moral del equipo.
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 si todos los colombianos pensaramos como nicci, colombia estaria mucho mejor... tenemos talento, voluntad, entrega pero nos ha faltado ambicion... tipico de los colombianos menospreciarnos. No se trata de ser sonadores, ni realistas... Nada... es positivismo, creer en nosotros mismos y siempre ir por el primer puesto en todo lo q hacemos, esa es la idea no ? el sueno de todo jugador de futbol... No siempre los ''grandes'' estan arriba...
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 Ahh ser positivo es muy bueno...pero ser realista nos ayuda a ver las cosas claras. La ultima vez que estuvimos "positivos" y pensando que podiamos ganar un mundial fue despues del 5-0 a Argentina, y ya saben como nos bajaron de esa nube!!!
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 despues del 5-0 ya colombia penso que era campeon del mundo, no que iba ser, ya eran en sus cabesas ..... yo no digo eso solo que Colombia tiene para que ganarlo como dijo Pele, Espana es como Colombia dos equipos con jugadores de clase mundial pero nunca jugan como la promesa y son los unicos dos equipos que no han ganado un mundial que lo pueden hacer... Colombia tiene con que, pero primero es llegar y depues salir del groupo y depuse lo que sea puede pasar
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 señores, se que muy tarde y todo pero bueno he estado un poco ocupado..... vi el partido en persona...y llegue a pensar que la sele iba a empatar ante una palidisima nigeria cosas por decir el problema de gol en la seleccion es de no creerse, darwin podra ser una culebra cuando se mueve, pero de ahi no pàsa. falcao es un muy buen definidor,pero que problemita si no tiene un armador, no se pelea una. gio moreno es un lento que no sabe que es tener la camiseta de la seleccion. armero es un carroloco, es gracioso verlo tratar de gambetear, pero ante un rival de mas talla no seria ni 5 de chistoso yepes definitivamente es la joya de la seleccion, nada que hacer el estadio es muy bonito, le falta pues los acabados finales y listo, pero que verguenza decirlo, el publico caleño es de lo peorcito, todo el partido madrearon a falcao y a gio hdez. en general disfrute bastante el encuentro, el estadio y el momento. saludos muchachos
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 Yeah I have faith with Lara, I just hope Lara can puts some good plays just in case.
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 Crzd, you always miss the point. In your comment you didn't understand how crappy team like the Koreans reached to the 4th place in the world? You just answered yourself!!! With help from the refs and for being the host. I didn't talk about big teams, the big teams can win without the refs...But the fact that Korea, who as I recall, didn't won any game in their WC tournaments until 2002 suddenly reaching the 4th place, it's only home games and refs help' not necesarry in this order. Don't know if Rueda is the best coach for Colombia. Maybe. He definitly has done wonderful things with NT like Honduras. But I think Quintabani can do well also and in my opinion also Bolillo or Suarez. By the way, even that I don't like him, I think Diego Umana does an excellent job for few years now in America (they were garbage before he came, in danger to relegated), but I don't think that he gets exposure from the media, he always looks antipat, anti-social, maybe the media doesn't like him. But no doubt that he is a good coach. I catually think that the coach does matter for a football team and you have an excellent example from our NT. Look how Colombia played in the CA 2007 and at the beginning of the qualifiers (except Brazil and Argentina matches) nuder Pinto, and look how we play now under Lara. Look how we played 4 games with Maturana and how we played the rest of the qualifiers with Rueda. Definitly the players have to do 80% of the job, but you also need a coach who will understand the players and let them play and not one like Pinto, who didn't get along with any of the players. (just to see what we missed from Yepes who fought with idiot Pinto).
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 I hope IRC can recieve a call. I think he always been consistent, he just had a bad run in copa 2007. But he is Vice Capt of Inter and is fast and has leadership qualities, plus him and Yepes make a great 1-2 defense. Of course with Mosquera and Zuñiga as supporting defenders.
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 Well Zuniga could never be CD so if we had Mosquera, IRC, Yepes and Luis Amaranto we are fine. If anything Walter Moreno who has started to improve will be the replacement. I guess that the defenders on the wings is being contested with Zuniga and Armero. I dont know if we will ever see Velez again.
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 Pibe, I usually agree with your comments but can't agree here. Korea, like any host nation, received a lot of support from the refs in 2002, but my view was that their team also over-performed on the pitch and were very well coached by Hiddink. This is to say, Korea did well in 02 for a lot of reasons, and I wouldn't attribute all their success to homefield advantage. Japan had all the same advantages, but played horribly....
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 tonces, diganme los mods?? q opino acerca del gol de falcao? me debe gustar o no???
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 CRAZY+10 Rueda's first move was to eliminate reliance on a lone 10 and play with multiple creative players - with particular emphasis on the wings. He tried to move things forward from a strategic standpoint and then he was dropped after pretty much doing a great job. I liked that he was pragmatic and learned along the way, shifting to two strikers when he saw it got more out of JPA, for example. Given the style Lara's sides at the U20 level have played, I hope he continues in that tradition.
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 Te gusto? A mi me encanto, y le doy gracias a los que lo postearon aca en el foro. No pude ver el partido por estar en luna de miel, pero ahora lo pude disfrutar.
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 exactly, I never want to rely on the 10 but the 10 should be there, but it is nice to see with two wing men and a striker, with guarin as a stopper.
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 I agree with you. Maybe I was misunderstood. Of course that no team can succee only because refs mistake, and it's obvious that a team which coached by world class coach like Guus, must play good football. But they achieved their only winning matches in the WC only in 2002, and in the knock-out stage it was 80% because of the refs. I answered Crzd for not understand how crapy team like Korea reached the semi final. But to tell you the truth, if it wasn't on their home stadium, I don't think they would pass the first round. But I do agree that they played much better then previous WC's maybe to show their fans that they can play good in the WC.
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 Guarin is not a stopper..... or a DM ... he plays there because its the only way to be on the NT he is a CM or a ARM taking him out of that position is just wasting what makes Guarin speacial which is his rocket foot... what u have left is a tall brute, that is sort of fast a better DM would be Abel or Carlos Sanchez.... also Edwin Valencia and Robayo of Millos should be given a shot but GUarin is not a DM, also he needs to get time at Porto or dropped from the NT he isnt even a bench player which is making me nervous hopefully he goes to another team to get more time because with Lucho at Porto Guarins never going to play
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 Its still his first year, give him some time, I know he not a pure DM, which is why Carlos Sanchez I would perfer more in that position, but I would make Guarin in the Right Mid and take out the wingmen from that.
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 Para mi hasta ahora le ha ido bien en la seleccion. Lara lo invento en el futbol... creo que tiene el derecho de ponerlo si le esta rindiendo...
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 Coincido...pero que yo recuerda a Lara le encantaba ponerlo por la franja derecha, no? O quizas solo lo veo asi en mi memoria por los goles que marco arancando de ahi? De todas formas, el mismo argumento respaldaria a Abel Aguilar (quizas MAS a Abel), ya que como al Crazy+10 le encanta recordarnos, Aguilar es un jugador distinto con la camiseta de su pais puesta que sin ella...
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 Yo tambien siempre recuerdo a Guarin como volante por los costados no como doble 5, quien sabe donde lo re-intentaron. Pero bueno el man puede jugar en esas dos posiciones
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 entre Guarin Y Carlos San...? Creo que la ventaja es la relacion del exEnvigado con Lara, y como argumento futbolistico tiene que freddy es de una pegada mucho mas fuerte y segura que la de Carlos San cada DT tiene su gente de confianza, pero no me extranaria si Lara llama al exdanubio a su equipo.... me parece que el 11 de febrero es fecha FIFA, algun rumor sobre partidos para el 2009
Re: Colombia vs Nigeria- amistoso 2008 mmm un amistoso q quiere concretar el pibe contra israel alla, solamente
