7 months till the next Qualifier !! FED GIVE US SOME FRIENDLIES !!!!

[crzdcolombian]

Ok guys I am really excited obviously !!! Ran outside my house in the snow in my Batman PJs and my Colombian NT jersey ..... think i got frost bite any way

when are the next fifa days?
how many friendlies can we have?? I want as many as we can get !!!
its 7 months away so if we can get 2 a month thats 14 !!

Ok what players u think need to be given a chance?
Also these friendlies should be to strengthen the team and chemistry ? or test our new players?

I want to see
Ospina-gk
Neko Martinez - gk
Josmier Mosquera- CB (arsenal)
Cristian Zapata - CB
Mao Molina - MF
Juan Toja - MF
Edwin Valencia - DM ( ath Parm)
Robayo - MF (Millos)
Juan Pablo Pino - MF
Freddy Guarin - MF
Stallin Motta
Mosquera - QUindo(think he is going to Santa fe?) - FW
Carlos Hilgado - FW

and a shit load of America de Cali, Equipdad players... sorry I dont know their names

[crzdcolombian]

Ok guys yes I have alot of time in my hands as I am in comp class haha and its a joke any way

December - dont think any fifa day's but hopefully we can have another Panama style friendly which is just of home based players, even a friendly against Mexico in Mexico so we can use some of those players can be key as welll

Janurary - its The African Cup
-US, and many African teams, Swiss all have friendlies around this time think the 18th is a fifa day
-Also a home based team game w/o euro stars wouldnt be bad either we have great talented players at home and should use them
-After Jan, no african team has friendlies hopefully we can play a Nigeria, Cameroon, or Costa Marfil type team

Feb- finally fifa days
-2/6 and 2/26 seem to be when most teams are playing friendlies
- Italy only has 1 friendly all next year throwing that out their to the fed, they did play Ecuador and we are better so why not, and have 2/26 free, play Spain 2/28

March - fifa days
-3/26 another fifa day

Its great that we have 8 points but we need to try out new players and to fix and build up on our team chemistry that at times seems to be lacking.

I dont want to go to Peru thinking that Macnelly is our 10, and Aldo sucks and shouldnt be on the team only to find out that Macnelly is only a 1/2 time player. We need these games to see if he is the 10 we are looking for as well as to replace the 3 players who won be able to play next game

we need to have clear CB choices sure we have great candiantes but they need to play.

A new DM and we have many choices again but they need to be given shots.... NO MORE BANGUERO !!

NEW Lbs PLEASE NO More Vallejo

Build up Striker Chemistry, I want Falcao and Renteria to finish each other sentences they know each other so well

[minus]

Yo chill out... One game does't determine if a player sucks or not. Aldo played bad but it doesn't mean he sucks... Breath a little and relax....:p

never said Aldo sucks just I dont want people saying Macnelly is Pibe #2 and Aldo sucks after 1 game. Macnelly starting also doesnt make the team do anything!!!

We need friendlies to see where these guys are at as I see them as the best 2 #10s in Colombia, think Stallin Motta is up there too. these guys all need to be given time and friendlies to prove themselves and see if they work or not. One thing is for sure we dont need Gio and it looks like Tessor shouldnt come back either

we need games to build our chemistry. Maybe that 4-3-2-1 formation isnt bad but because no team in colombia uses it and our players havent played it ever its too much to ask for b4 a huge game like Argentina to be like k ferrira no u and Tessor never play'd together but I want u guys to be magic

ferrira also gets the short hand of the stick but Pinto doesnt use him correctly, same with Tessor, Chitiva and Castrillon

Another thing Colombia needs to stop removing their shirts after we score I know it was a big game and moment but WE CANT LOSE BUSTOS HE IS OUR RIQUELME !!! If a Yellow against Peru then its going to be a real hard game against Ecuador.

[minus]

All three game Mcnelly has started for Colombia has won.... He isn ot Pibe but he is he is Mcnelly Torres the player who has all the talent to be a great player..

agreed! Our boys aren't being used correctly and they need to settle down a little with the celebrations. I know it's a big thing and it's not like you get to score on Argentina everyday and win and i'm not going to lie i probably would've done the same. But we are going to lose players cause of too many yellow cards. It was funny last night it went from celebrating and hugs and beer going everywhere to yelling and bitching about why the hell did he take off his shirt and so on and so forth.

True! Macnelly is going be Macnelly not El Pibe and he is going to make a name for himself. just watch! He needs time to build up his game, just all our players do and you'll see them go far...

Hernández: "La selección tiene que seguir siendo convocada”

Colombia.com (21/Nov/2007): La selección colombiana de fútbol, temporalmente en el segundo puesto en las eliminatorias sudamericanas, se entrenará por lo menos una vez al mes hasta junio de 2008, cuando se reanudará la serie de clasificación con miras al Mundial de Sudáfrica 2010, dijo una fuente deportiva.

El asistente del seleccionador Jorge Luis Pinto, José 'Cheché' Hernández, señaló que la suspensión de más de seis meses de las eliminatorias obliga a que el equipo colombiano sea convocado "por lo menos una vez por mes para jugar partidos amistosos".

"La selección tiene que seguir siendo convocada de alguna manera para jugar amistosos. Por ahora se está hablando de que habría uno el 20 de diciembre y otro el 28, según lo que ha comentado el profesor Pinto", señaló Hernández a los medios de comunicación locales.

Añadió que "a partir de febrero, deberá haber una serie de partidos (de preparación), por lo menos uno o dos cada mes".

Por su parte, la oficina de prensa de la Federación Colombiana de Fútbol (FCF) señaló que hay "invitaciones" para jugar en España el fin de año, aunque aún no hay nada oficial ni se ofrecieron más detalles.

"Se han recibido unas invitaciones para jugar el fin de año en España, con catalanes y valencianos, en torneos amistosos que se hacen allá, pero aún no se ha confirmado nada", señaló el jefe de prensa de la FCF, Víctor Rosas.

"De todas maneras, siempre se ha hablado de la idea de hacer concentraciones por lo menos una semana cada mes, mientras se reanuda la eliminatoria", agregó Rosas.

La selección colombiana se ubicó temporalmente en el segundo puesto de las eliminatorias sudamericanas tras vencer el martes (2-1) a Argentina, líder con nueve puntos, uno más que el equipo 'cafetero'.

Colombia venció a Argentina en un partido correspondiente a la cuarta fecha de la serie de la clasificación, que se completa con los partidos Ecuador-Perú, Brasil-Uruguay y Chile-Paraguay, y que cerrará las eliminatorias en 2007.

Los compromisos entre las selecciones sudamericanas se reanudarán en junio de 2008. EFE

alli esta lo que tu andavas pidiendo crazy.. :D te mereses una galleta

[efernandez9]

los juegos de diciembre estan buenos para ensayar a esos PINO, zapata, aguilar, de laCuesta, hidalgo, Rivas de Inter, promocionar bustos y mas minutos de seguridad para W Moreno - tressor y macnelly juntos?

[crzdcolombian]

alli esta lo que tu andavas pidiendo crazy.. :D te mereses una galleta

I dont like cookies, send me a cute girl and that would be cool haha .... I just want us to build chemistry up and to know each other perfectly

los juegos de diciembre estan buenos para ensayar a esos PINO, zapata, aguilar, de laCuesta, hidalgo, Rivas de Inter, promocionar bustos y mas minutos de seguridad para W Moreno - tressor y macnelly juntos?

Macnelly/Tessor wouldnt work.... think start tessor in 1st half and Macnelly in the 2nd. We need 1 #10

Walter Moreno is just a short term answer to a long term problem that should be solved by either Josmier Mosquera or Cristian Zapata.

De La Cuesta is in the 2nd Division, and there are so many other great players that can be our CBs

Rivas needs to prove himself in Italy, hopefully loaned to a smaller club as he did impress during champs league but he has brain farts guys much like cordoba

Cassiera,Pino,Guarin,Toja, Oltavaro... hell just send out the 2005 sub 20 team that arent starters right now :) haha

Best thing is in 7 months we will have ELKIN SOTO !!!:D and nothing makes me happier than if Falcao was a starter at Barca or something haha

[MrPaisa]

i see us beating ecuador and peru, which would give us 14 points, already half way through classification and we would have only played 6 games, which is less than half of the games played.


Remember when we were saying the home games against Argentina were points we had to make up away...lol, those silly days.

[ryu79]

Crazy! You must be the only person I know that doesn't like cookies. Have you ever tried white chocolate macadamia nut? They are awesome.

With regard to the friendlies - I agree with you that we need to give Juan Pablo Pino and Cristian Zapata a chance to integrate with the side, but I think its vital that the core of the side get more time together and in that way maintain the style of play we've seen in the first four fixtures.

[efernandez9]

[crzdcolombian]

Pinto said no to these games he wants real NTs

[mcruic]

Basque Country are playing Catalonia in a friendly on 29th December in Bilbao anyway, so Colombia would not be able to play either of them. Basque Country would be a good game - they are similar in strength to Colombia. Catalonia are not quite as good. Regardless of how good opponents these teams would be, the fact is that they won't bring FIFA ranking points - hence I think it is a good idea to play FIFA members on these 2 dates.

Any news on who the December friendlies will be against?
