PBP: Match #56, FIFA 2018 World Cup: R16 - Colombia vs. England - 7/3/18 [R]

I went to the 3-2 game wasn’t that Aldo’s 1st game or goal?

Those goals were all offside haha

 

5 days is plenty of recovery time for James. He will be fine and we will win.

 

Will be fun listening to the English media all week.

 

My only concern is James over working himself. He needs to be as well rested as possible even though Quintero can play his role easily. Its frustrating that we only got to really experience both of them against poland.

England's style of play does open up more, perhaps more than what Poland was but they're likely not going to defend as they won't see us as a threat and have no worries playing regularly.

 

I believe I saw this correctly, that England is at the bottom with tackles made.

If so, they won't be as physical with us(not they don't need to, plenty of talent to win out) so perhaps this is a chance we can use against them.

Got to get them confuse and hopefully score early. I don't think the handle pressure very well at this moment.

 

We have to be careful with England's speed. They are similar to Japan in that aspect. But they are weak at the back and a naive team of young players who have never played in an international tournament.

We should have an advantage over them from that alone.

 

A good follow up to breaking my fast~ Dinner is wonderful!

 

Our record against Europe since we got Pekerman has been promising; undefeated so far.

Belgium - Colombia 0 - 2 - 2013
Netherlands - Colombia 0 - 0 - 2014
Colombia - Greece 3 - 0 - 2014
Spain - Colombia 2 - 2 - 2017
France - Colombia 2 - 3 - 2018
Poland - Colombia 0 - 3 - 2018

 

I would love for us to knock england out. I can't stand them

 

I would love it because we advance...like we really give a ******** who we face and are going to be biased in loving who we beat...

 

speak for yourself, Because im going to be biased.

 

Hey do what you want.

 

I don’t care if it’s not a reliable source. just want to be optimistic lol

 

Good, he'll be able to do this again.

1011794271714922497 is not a valid tweet id

 

He brings good luck!

 

Barrios instead of sanchez please.....

 

It is going to be fun.

Hopefully we get our revenge for '98 with Quinterito bending a FK into the back of the net Beckham style.

 

That would be sweet actually...but a win is a win so I am only caring of us making our chances count. The earlier we score the easier the match will go for us.

 

I have been Roc's biggest supporter but his timing today was very off.

3 games with sooo much chaos for Colombia,

specifically in 1st half:

vs Japan - Red Card minute 4. Barrios eventually subbed in --
vs Poland - Abel injury
vs Senegal - James injury


something special going on boys....something special. We're making something out of nothing.

However I Pray that:
1. James is Ok to play vs Eng
2. That if James is NOT Ok that JFQ is Ok and that doesnt get injured - no plan "c" --talk about a time where Cardona might have come in handy.
3. Cuadrado looks back at his Poland match. He could play better, we all know it. He has to show up when others don't.
4. Uribe if starting has to mark the difference.

 

I realized something...
