    So Mexico in Pereira the 22nd and Senegal somewhere else the 25th .

    Glad there's two matches and not just the lone one.


    The whole quotes about people wanting us to play like Porto or Racing or Jaguares was weird.

    And since he mentioned Teo and Jackson is it safe to say those guys are in his plans?

    He seemed to close the door shut on James as promised with the no sub 20 mention.
    Also he mentioned Manchester United and their style of play which was very weird.

    El Pibe finally grows some balls and a back bone and says Bolillo/the Fed f'd up by not playing games the 3rd and 7th of June. That they just couldn't get teams to play us..... starting to hate El Pibe a little less now unless he calls J-Rod the next Pibe and jinxs him forever.

    Great article

    You see crazy....

    you and Pibe aren't so different, in reality you guys are the same, both have unconditional love for Colombia


    and 2, you both always find something to complain about. :)

    Segun abola.pt el porto ya fue notificado por Guarin y Falcao para la copa america...

    está claro ke su llamado no sorpende a nadie... lo interesante es ke si el fax ya fue mandado al porto , es muy probable ke tambien haya sido mandado a todos los demás ekipos europeos...

    atento a noticias al respecto del restos de "europeos" ke se cuelen por la prensa

    I am not the biggest Teo fan but I am happy for him and will admit he is in good form. Plus playing in Argentina could work to his advantage since he is familiar with the stadiums and atmosphere.

    Let's see what he can do.

    On the negative side of this...

    ...Wason will probabaly be left off the squad. I don't like that. Also Jackson may not get as much playing time. But we shall see.

    You know, for motivation, they need to watch "The 2 escobars" to remind them how much the sport means to the Identity of our country and people.

    Our identity needs to be made by winning and playing well. At that time we had the best passer in the game playing a gay little hot potato soccer. Now we have the worlds best header and we do not want to change. This is what scares me!!!!

    The we are Colombia not Porto. I get thy but at least cross the ball one time to Falcao to see what happens

    He's good making goals on assist moves yes. Guarin has done well with him in those assist passes but we need our other Colombian players to learn from that example of effective team work.

    Controlling the ball with passes and assisting is the Colombian style that made Pibe the best assist/passer in history.

    Good to hear about Teo getting his call up, let's hope he brings his best.

    Curious now on who will be called up in midfield for the cup to surround Freddy. Biggest mystery in this call up for me.

    I just find it abit odd that Teo is guaranteed a spot while havent even played or trained with the team in about a year.

    Re: Copa America 2011 (Colombia Related Items)

    I think he will have to earn a slot in the xi in these friendlies. Given Bolillo s recent comments on preferring a 4 1 4 1, he'll prob have to bbe excellent to get the formation switched or bench Falcao and play himself into the team.

    la otra formacion que el prefiere es el 4-4-2:)

    teo fits there...next to falcao
    in any case - he has to earn the spot, and 2 amistosos, will show us his current form.

    I wonder if he can be free for 6/22....week earlier? AFA done by then? they have 3 or 4 more games to go.

    Esta semana dijo que tiene en mente un 442 pero prefiere 4141. A eso me estaba refiriendo.

    Veremos como lucen las cosas en las amistosos como decis, ojala que el tiempo juntos en esta convocatoria nos prepare bien para la copa y la eliminatoria que se viene.

    recordemos exactamente lo que dijo Hernan D




    "Hay un equipo que tiene mucho equilibrio, y es el Manchester United. Veo que Rooney y Chicharito vienen y ayudan a recuperar, y tienen gente desde atrás, como Toño Valencia, como Park, que ayudan a salir, laterales que van al ataque", analizó.

    "Pero nosotros tenemos una dificultad grande, y es llegar al fondo y tirar un centro a lo europeo. En eso vamos a tener que trabajar", comento.

    En cuanto al esquema táctico, Gómez dejó en claro que el que utilizará en la Copa América, será el mismo de la eliminatoria.

    "Yo tengo un 4-4-2 que me gusta y tengo un 4-1-4-1 que me gusta, incluso más, vamos a ver que pasa. Eso sí, el de la Copa América será el mismo esquema táctico que el de la eliminatoria", afirmó.
