Wilmar Barrios -news and comments

Would this force teams to update stadiums.

While a cool idea. Imagine if you have to play in La paz or Barranquilla. And aren’t use to the heat or altitude might be a unfair advantage

 

I believe this is the last libertadores with the 2 legs. Starting next year it will be one game.

 

Hope he goes to a good team in Europe and isn’t wasted.

 

he's at a prime age and has been refined in the Argentina league for one of the top teams for 2 years. I would prefer to see him in one of the top leagues. But he can make a difference in teams that are struggling on that part of the field, ex: Tottenham.

 

Man I’m torn. Barrios/Villa to win Libertadores or Quintero/Borre?

Quintero is going to have to step up big time bc barrios will probably tell his teammates how best to play JFQ.

Should be an exciting two game series

 

Always River for me. But it's great to know some Colombian flag we'll be shown in the team trophy pic

 

Would prefer a Colombian team winning but River has recovered 2 incredible prospects and made them better and more consistent. Fk they even helped Quintero’s shit stamina(which is fking pathetic for someone his age).

I always preferred River becauae of Yepes and Angel. Then Falcao.

 

Idk cause if Wilmar wins the cops with Boca he will be remembered as a legend if he’s not already. Kid has worked his ass off for what he’s achieved.

 

I tend to lean Boca but its win win imo, I think for the Colombian national team River winning would be better for us, Quintero and specifically Borre would benefit from the attention more career wise at this point.

Barrios can be a big player for a big club the guy doesn't shy away from anything and that personality will help him wherever he goes, honestly I could see him at Man City but he may be too much of a destroyer to be fully utilized there even though he's very good on the ball. A team like AC Milan would also be a good spot for him where he can take over for Biglia.

 

My only live Argentina game was at Monumental back in 2008 so my heart is with river but typically I usually support the team with Our boys. In this case it’s a tie with 2 each (excluding Fabra/Empa-dona). Which is why I’m torn.

 

Online says Cardona is 6 ft 180. Not exactly the ass people make him out to be

 

I know. It’s all in good fun

I do recall the time when I saw him play in person in 2016 against Peru in the CA and he the way he ran/waddled down the left wing made me wonder if he was 280

With that said I do enjoy/admire his ability to create and be integral to several important goals last cycle.

 

180lbs at 6ft = leaning toward the heavy side for a prof athlete, specifically soccer, unless it's a lot of muscle. Should be closer to 160-170lbs

 

Unless you are Hulk from Brazil lol

 

My views on illegal immigration hasn't changed. Get over it. Despite my sympathy for those who struggle, I am not gonna have another discussion about this.

Anyway, Cardona was really unprofessional during a time where he was rising into a very important figure. So much potential and excitement. Only for him to make some stupid mistakes. Especially with that incident when we played Sout Korea in that friendly.

 

Holy shit remember that dude? Jesus I actually forgot about him when he left Porto to play in Russia.

My friend in Brazil was really frustrated with how he was especially in the 2012 Olympics.

 

Feel bad for Barrios today....

Not a good day at the office

 

Totally wasn't a red card...

 

Felt that was a weak 2nd yellow. Ended the game

 

I’m sure we have all seen worse where no card was given.
