Agree to disagree. When it comes to mentality and the way we approach things Brasil and Argentina turned out to be the way it usually goes. Behind the proverbial 8 ball of elimination. Much rather have played a team like Ecuador first and had those teams spread out a bit but it may not have mattered in the end. This team probably could not score on the sub 17 with the way they are playing.
First half vs. Ecuador, 0-0. This time we played a bit better, just a bit, but still without real danger. Alvarado, Angulo playing well but not enough. If we created tons of opportunities in the first three matches, now in the last games we have difficulties to even create. Really without explanation what's happening here in this tournament.
********ing pathetic. They don't deserve to be in this final round. Ecuador gets their one shot and they score.
Honestly, with this lost I have lost complete confidence in this U20 squad. Venezuela and Uruguay are going to destroy us easily.
I'm really speechless. Not because of the loss, but because of our 2 goals in 7 matches. Even today, when we played a bit better, created more chances, we couldn't score. This is unbelievable. The last minute was a mirror to all this tournament. But really, in my worst thoughts I never thought that this is how we will look in the tournament. So either this team is not good enough as we thought at first, or it is simply lack of confidence. Based on the fact that we played 7 matches, I believe it is reason no. 1. we shouldn't beat Chile because we started to develop hopes that he we are, going to Poland and will improve in the final round. We actually the only team who still haven't score in this round after 3 matches. Truly pathetic.
Nobody wants to say it but it all goes up the chain of command to the manager. Which pains me to say it because I thought Reyes would at least put our players in better positions to score tactically than Restrepo the last couple cycles. This team just does not have any clue how to score.
Bueno, soy perfectamente consciente de que hablamos de un equipo que anoto dos goles en siete partidos, y que calcular no es oportuno cuando se ve el desarollo del torneo de Colombia... Pero bueno, mismo si es dificil de tener esperanzas, aun se puede clasificar para Polonia. Una cosa : Colombia jugando en primero en la ultima fecha (pero en ultimo en la proxima fecha) , ahora no depende de si mismo. Puede clasificar con 4 puntos (!) pero dos victorias (7 puntos al final) no aseguran la clasificacion... Hice mathematica caminando con mi perro esta mañana lol. Entonces para resumir : - si no hay victoria contra Venezuela, Colombia eliminada - para volver a depender de si mismo antes de jugar contra Venezuela y Uruguay (imaginando 7 puntos al final) , Colombia necesita una victoria de Argentina contra Uruguay ; o la unica otra combinacion para volver a depender de si mismo es una victoria de Uruguay contra Argentina ademas de una victoria de... Brasil contra Ecuador (lo sé, es muy paradoxal) - no obstante, el escenario ideal antes de la ultima fecha, si no me equivoco, seria una victoria de Argentina contra Uruguay ademas de una victoria de Ecuador contra Brasil. Y, claro, una victoria de Colombia frente a Venezuela. Lo que significa anotar al menos un gol... Esperando darle un minimo de minimo de minimo de esperanzas amigos
I really appreciate your math skills but honestly, this team doesn't deserve to qualify and it's better that they don't. 7 matches are not coincidence anymore: This team sucks, maybe Reyes didn't pick all the good players he should've pick (Not talking about Cucho) but the bottom line is that we suck, but truly suck. The worst I've seen, more than 2007 & 2009 teams. I won't pray for Colombia's loss, but I hate to see us traveling to Poland looking like this.
Yea fk all of you!! We going to go find a way to win the next 2 and make it to the WC At the WC we can bring the euro kids and actually score This team just doesn’t have anyone who can put the ball in the back of the net
The only way we pass through is if we get revenge against Venezuela and score on some sort of miracle goal on them. Then beat Uruguay because they are benching everyone and don't care because they have already qualified. Even so, we probably will just get 0-0's in both matches.
Any of these guys redeemable? The goalie is good and so is Cuesta. The attacking MFs are good but the strikers are absolute shit or can’t handle pressure. Should Reyes be fired? There really does need to be accountability here. Who’s fault is this! I mean one thing to suck but another to not being able to score at all
The defense seem like good players and the goalie is decent. Honestly this team isn’t that bad it just can’t score so makes it look much much worse then it actually is. Just really disappointed because this team was hyped to be better then the 2005 team. Defensively are very good, solid mf even the attack other the scoring will come hopefully for these guys later in their careers. I don’t know if it’s Reyes fault for not picking the right guys. The fed for not giving him enough friendlies or taking him out of the u20 for 2 months to save money. So not going to the WC a bigger loss financially then not paying a coach for 6 months?
Playing a 4-3-2-1 today. -----------Mier Palacios-Reyes-Cuesta-Vera Goez-------Balanta------Alvarado Carbonero----------------Angulo ---------------Sandoval
Finally without Tolosa. I had my expectations from him before the tournament. He is talented but his decisions during the matches were incredibly poor. Last chance to qualify or to keep the our option alive.
