y esos equipos que nos dejan... ya estan cansones con eso de los amistosos... ya Pekerman lo dijo: los amistosos no son partidos de jugar x jugar... y ninguno de esos equipos nos ofrece nada ni en primera ronda ni en las sgtes... ya que Pekerman pula al equipo en los entrenamientos y preube una que otra cosa contra un rival suave
a ver, Senegal jugo los partidos decisivos de tercera fase de la eliminatoria de la CAF contra Costa de Marfil, global 4-2 en dos partidos a favor de Costa de Marfil y Jordania perdio estripitosamente frente a Japon en la ultima fase de eliminatorias de la AFC 6-0 el primer partido y luego gano 2-1 el segundo, ademas de jugar el repechaje frente a Uruguay. Algo tuvo que haber visto Pekerman para solicitar ese par de partidos.
Senegal will be the only test. It really time to see if Jackson/Teo - Bacca/Teo up front or if we will go with 1 striker in a 4-2-3-1 which we kind of played in the belgium game and prob our best formation w/o Falcao. Will also be the last chance some guys have to make the squad. Guarin, Valdez, Balanta, Quintero, Darwin if he gets called, Muriel, Adrian Ramos don't get minutes in this game they are good as cut from the team. I really want to see him bring Alex Meija to the WC. Guy is beastly at DM and can see him being our starter for next Copa America but not sure if he will get Sanchez or Valencia to get the boot. Jordon will be another test subs but we have to have our last 23 for this game which is crazy its such a weak team but better then nothing. Again here will will see who will be our strikers for the tourney and what we finally decide as a formation. I remember being really sad watching the 2010 WC. Thought all the teams sucked and if we had made the WC we would have gone very far in the tourney.
escorpion, yo creo que leiste lo que escribi pero en otro contexto... esa frase era para los que pedian amistosos contra Alemania, Italia y en general perdir amistosos x pedirlos
yo creo que un amistoso contra Alemania Espana Brasil Argentina Real Madrid y el Bayern es un buen calentamiento pre-mundial
lo dudo que sea bueno y los mismo tecnicos lo dicen... Incluso Pekerman que es de no mostrar sus cartas... Los partidos antes del mundial son con rivales que no le "maten" el autoestima al equipo... eso en la ultima rueda de prensa lo hablo Pekerman... Los rivales que tu nombras son buenos quiza bajo otras circunstancias.. unas semanitas antes del mundial
siii tambien!!! igualito como en el 94! que fundieron al equipo con la cantidad de amistosos pre-mundial. Por cierto oeee inscribete en la pg de la Fifa para que llenes el album online http://en.stickeralbum.fifa.com/game/flash?start_view=start despues seleccionas arriba Collectors Group y te unes a este grupo Team ID : 187131 Password : Colombia
lol estaba mamando gallo por cierto estoy invitando aca pa los que quieran a que se pongan a llenar el album enlinea, cree un grupo pa intercambiar stikers y toda la vaina
Hay que encontrar un balance. Los rivales de los amistosos tienen que ofrecer algo parecido a los rivales del mundial y Pekerman algo tendra que ensayar, pero tienes razon, no puede mostrar todo el arsenal antes del mundial. El ultimo rival si tienen que ser un equipo de la 3ra division.

What Are Your Expectations for the World Cup? LLego tarde a este thread... para responder la pregunta: Si no pasamos de la fase de grupos: Muy mal, decepción... debemos pasar. Si pasamos a ronda de 16 (1°o 2° no me importa): Igualariamos nuestra mejor marca. No esta mal, no me sentiría triste. Si llegamos a cuartos o adelante: FUCKING GREAT
Man i just want to get out of the group stages to be honest.... 1 game at a time but if we me make it to the round of 16 we would either play Italy, England, or Uruguay. I think we can beat Uruguay and England... Italy would be a very tough game but not impossible!
Most of our players are familiar with Italian players and tactics so that could help us against them big time. That said, one game at a time as you said KLopez. Group stage should be fun.
that's what I been saying all along in this thread, yes this Team has a lot of potential and we can see them going far. But is the first world cup for these guys and the other teams are not precisely pushovers, so we could get an ugly surprise; but here we are talking about who we could encounter in quarter finals. In the whole history of the NT we only manage to pass group stages only once (by being the best 3rd btw) so our aim right now should be surpassing that, after that we will try to go further. But lets focus on just passing group stages. Personally we have the tools to beat anyone, but like I said the lack of experience plays a factor and we are rating this team based on the great qualifiers that are already long gone. Im not saying that this team is worst that the one in the qualifiers, maybe is better, but that's the whole point!! ITS different and because is different we could get surprises, and once again I dont mean bad surprises, it could be good surprises also. All Im saying is dont rate the team solely on the qualifiers, expect changes, low level or high level of playing....
well the Italians are familiar with our players too ; Which now that i think about it, I think it does help because they will shut down Cuadrado with a bunch of players leaving spaces for James.... and you know what happen if you leave spaces to James
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...roups-fixtures-stars-to-watch-and-predictions Wow, they think that it's going to be a final between us and Spain.
It's very possible; all they need is one goal while outsmarting us. But I don't think that Spain will make it to the finals.
If we got to the Finals and lost i would still feel great... that is one heck of a run for an underdog! YA GOTTA BELIEVE!
Yea but Germany, Italy and Brazil are much better than Spain. Would be awful to beat the best teams historically then trip against spain. Only closers drink coffee in the morning and we are the Cafeteros... We need to go all the way !!!
