    I have an idea: Stay home with the baby and send your wife to the game. Case solved. ;)

    those ticket prices are through the roof, feels like WC prices not a post WC friendly, bizarre.

    I paid $150 x 2 for mid level midfield seats. Not thrilled about it but how often do we get to see Colombia live?!!!

    I saw Colombia play Haiti in Miami not too long ago. I know Haiti are not Venezuela but its not like Venezuela warrants me paying all that money to sit on the roof of the stadium, especially right after the WC when most likely none of the players will really care

    I paid that for our friendly against Brazil in 2013 in NYC. It was so cold and in New England we had a real bad blackout most places didnt have power. That game was awful neither team even ran

    The other game I remember going to with my dad was the Colombia v Venezuela game. I remember someone threw a beer bottle at Falcao. It hit him in the head. he was very cool..... and was like bro WTF ! If it was Barrios he would have eaten him :)

    Two teams that give us trouble in different ways.

    Not too excited about these matches.

    It will give whoever is the new manager a first look at the talent pool.
    That is about it i am expecting.

    We should make a bet on how many players Osorio will pick by this game?

    Another thing I hope for with Osorio is we will play none Fifa day friendlies. Having a January mini cup between the USA, Mexico and Colombia would be magical.

    Fine 70% of these guys we call won’t be in the main team. But if we can find 1-2 guys every game that would be awesome. Like we need goalies. A non-fifa day would force us to use someone other then Ospina.

    And not triple down on Vargas who never plays. We probably could have called Montero or Huilas goalie. Much sooner.

    ^ Cucho debut hat-trick. The Argentine media call him the Colombian Tevez and he gets transfered to Manchester United by the Winter.

    @crzdcolombian

    Are you satisfied with our opponents (Argentina and Venezuela) for our first set of friendlies in the 18-22 cycle?

    Would like to track your level of satisfaction on who we play since you were often frustrated with our friendlies (or lack thereof as you claim).

    We are playing 2 of them. Already better then most fifa days.

    Also both these teams we are notoriously bad against. So that’s good

    One issue is our 1st 4 friendlies are in the US. Against American teams.

    With the 12 million why didn’t we get 2 of these to be in Colombia.

    Would like to start facing euro teams tho. When people were posting Pekermans stats against euros it was like 6 games in 6 years.

    We need to be able to play with bigger teams then us and in the air.

    Think it's prob logistically easier to do friendlies in Europe than US or Colombia given where must of the team lives and plays. NY is prob somewhere in middle...

    Looking forward to the Argentina match and hope we get good weather. It was brick cold at the Brasil game after the last WC.
