    I agree it was a mistake to take Abel, but then we would've had only one mixto (Uribe) on the squad? Izquierdo wasn't even part of the team until the last set of friendlies, and other than drawing a penalty vs France, wasn't much of a factor.

    Simplemente no me convence ese pelao.

    Because izzy is attackling midfielder....at the end cardona lost the position with him


    All players have back lezcano.....from aris to falcao....even they prepared a secret bbq for him,...........he is respected, is the sport manager.......something like maturana was before

    Bad choicing happens....lezcano is an invention of the press........they made an history in russi with and agent in the trainings...that then people discovered that he wasnt even the same city with colombia.

    If we are to focus in this history our football will be the same

    well, that's sort of what have many folks are scratching their heads. Lerma, as well, while we were all wanting for him to earn a call up, also came up during the same set of friendlies and earned a WC spot and went from limited minutes to a full game vs England. Consequently those string of games allows him to play EPL. Just seems like we were a little all over the place and things just arent in place. I mean, Cardona, was up to that point one of the main reasons we made it to the WC. Not having him really hurt our chances, specially with James out.

    I know the press makes up A LOT to stir the pot. But I also think that where's there's smoke there's fire. I know Lezcano is respected by the players but he wasnt hired by the federation as the sports manager. I just know that when I looked at that bench going into that match vs England we needed Cardona as there was no one that could offer what he could offer.

    I dont think he'll play under Pekerman. I mean that was a big blow to him.We'll see.

    It's a matter of what could've been. If Croatia made the final then we surely could've as well. Then I question myself if we'll always be underachievers, but at the same time I wasn't surprised, we are Colombia after all.

    Love Pekerman, always will. Having said that, I think hes taken us as far as he can. Some of his decisions and his big game line ups have directly kept us from making it far and will do so again.

    Pues por este tipo de creencias es que se difunden mentiras histrocias y se repitan en todos los ambitos........cuando hay alguien malintencionado, no tienen problema a inventar de cero, como el señor carlos antonio velez.

    Que todas las mentiras tienen "fire":...y tienen algo de verdad...hmmm me cuesta creelo.

    no creo

    hope you're right. These federations are just ripe with corruption. Is it true that there will be a new Exec board coming in after Aug 31 but the choice of the new DT (including Pekerman as a choice) will be decided by the current board members? That doesnt seem to make a lot of sense if that's the case. Too easy for the new regime to just say it was the 'other board's fault', if we dont garner results.

    This discussion we have had before.
    I would have liked to have seen both Cardona and Quinterito on the roster but it was just not going to happen. Not with all the baggage Cardona brought to the table since November.

    Let's move on.

    Pekerman was the one that finished the veto to colombian players like valencia and soto.......dont think so, that he agrees with these corruptions practices of the board,

    Lezcano was the scape goat of Carlos Antonio

    dont confuse....guys

    Came on as a sub, took a corner that Tevez ended up scoring, and converted a penalty.

    With Benedetto back, Boca may have the deepest, most talented squad in South America. Actually, I don't think anybody comes close

    rumor is Schelotto will be sacked following the libertadores regardless of result. This was said on TyC.

    no doubt about that squad, but they underperform a lot for some reason. I'm a fan of Ramon Abila I know he is inconsistent but I really like him. Benedetto's a talented forward with a great shot on him but I have a weakness for those old school number 9's.

    That penalty was sweet. It is how I used to do it in FIFA 2017.
