PBP: FIFA 2018 World Cup - Group H - Colombia vs. Poland - 6/24/18

OF course it wasn't his fault. We were down a man well before he came on and that was going to take it's toll eventually.

That said, as a sub, you have got to press defenders and make runs off the ball like mad so that the man disadvantage doesn't get exposed. He barely even jogged.

What's worse, James is our most fiery player and he has been since he debuted. Today, more than ever, we needed that fire. He had NONE of it. And that's the most concerning part. If he could barely jog around, then he must have known before coming on that couldn't possibly add the spark. Not good...

 

Anybody catch Poland Senegal? I saw most of the match before and after the goals. Even though I missed what matter most, I'd say the two teams were of about the same level. Senegal was definitely stronger on the counter, but they were also a little sloppy at times.

I'm glad we're facing Poland first and not Senegal. We need to play a team that'll try to play us straight up and is less likely to shock us on counters (our defense looks rough). Their match looked very open. NO REASON to play with a double 5 against them. We need to bring in Uribe and try to take the game to them.

 

Senegal has nothing. Poland like us let their hype get to their heads

Their defense is utter shit

With all 11 men and playing with more then 1 up top should be an easy game

Both goals for Senegal were laughable defending from Poland

 

You're ridiculous.

 

Did you watch the game?

Both teams were trash. Fine we lost but because of a harsh call and a idiotic coach that you guys are getting off your knees for. Finally seeing the light.

We don’t beat Poland and it’s over. But Poland’s defense was laughablely bad. Their offense wasn’t anything. To write about either

Senegal’s 1st goal was a own goal. 2nd was a idiotic back pass that the other team stole and jogged in the goal.

 

You complain about our team constantly and about how bad we play. How on earth is Poland possibly going to be an easy game? You're out of your mind.

Can we win? Sure. Should we? Debatable; I think we should. An easy game? Today was our "easy" game. You saw what happened...

You have a weird sense of logic. If we lost because of an idiotic coach and a bad call, don't those same exceptions apply to Poland? That 2nd goal was on a much more controversial play than Sanchez' red. If the first was an own goal, doesn't that just highlight that Senegal wasn't able to score in open play?

You've been on this forum far too long to have these teenage-esque lapses in logic, dude.

 

I'd have to see the match again to be sure, but if the rest of the team is super tired, I don't think it's a good idea for one player to press the opposing team alone. It's basically impossible.

 

This guy has the most accurate analysis of the Poland-Senegal match.

 

I feel we we're in the game, quintero was starting to really get into the flow, thats how.

 

Do you guys think Quintero and James should have stayed in at the same time?

 

Who the ******** made this...

 

I never liked morcilla. Ima have my revenge on Japan this Friday by tearing up some Japanese food

 

You guys think that Senegal will beat Japan? Personally, I feel like it's very possible but it would be quite troublesome if Japan won again because we wouldn't be able to influence their last game.

 

Japan almost tied to a team with 10 guys for 90 minutes.....

The last 2 subs made by Colombia did not work. And cost us the game

I cant see Japan winning all 3 games but it doesnt matter as we need to win the next 2 games. As we need to win by goal difference right now both teams with 3 points have 1+. We have -1 as well as poland but because we got a red card that is a tie breaker. So we are last.

If we beat Poland 1-0. We still have to beat Senegal because of the tie breaker. .....

All the levels/ways that Carlos Sanchez FKd us today.... only thing we can do is win both games

 

Despite us losing to them, I was not too impressed by Japan. Mind you we still made them look pretty good.

Id like to watch the Senegal game once i've cooled down to see what they're like.

who knows anymore, today was supposed to be a solid win for us and look at what we got instead.

 

It was still Oscar Murillo's mistake which led to Sanchez rushing back to attempt (and fail) at cleaning up his mess.

 

well James started off strong in the first few minutes but he faded rather quickly.

I think I agree with Azu, I expected a bit more from him, I didn't think he was particularly bad though, he was probably one of the better ones if that's saying anything in a game like this.

Japan pressed very well and they knew who to target, they closed down all our attacking outlets, Falcao, Cuadrado, James and Sanchez (the 3 minutes he played anyway)

 

I love morcilla, sadly for some reason none of the bandeja paisa's they sell here in miami seem to have any morcilla, really irritating.

 

the more I think about this game the more upset I get. I have no clue what happened.

I have to remind myself that we were a man down the whole game and I think there needs to be more blame on Oscar Murillo who caused this whole situation to happen.

 

Morcilla is usually not part of bandeja paisa and it’s rather cumbersome to prepare, reason why I think restaurants go with easier sides. If you’re around Kendall or Pinecrest I strongly recommend Macita’s bandeja, enough to to feed a family of four.
