FIFA 2014 WORLD CUP FIXTURE: QUARTER-FINALS COLOMBIA VS BRAZIL

La falta de experiencia de tipos que llevan como mínimo 5 años en Europa?
Colombia no se dejo llevar por la presión, entro en el juego de Brasil, que no es el nuestro. Pero cagarse hubiese sido meterse todo atrás.

 

Ahora siendo consecuentes fuimos totalmente James y Cuadrado dependientes. Nos tapan a esos dos y somos inútiles. Los delanteros dieron pena todo el mundial. No nos hizo falta Falcao porque apareció un James goleador, pero ninguno reemplazo bien a Radamel.

 

Yo si que lo vi, como también vi la zarta de patadas en 30 primeros minutos. Y que también ver como poblo Brasil el medio campo. Fácil tampoco era.

Igual lo que me da risa por no decir patetico. Es que ahí si ellos se cagaron, pero el resto del mundial ganamos todos verdad?

 

Pero si aporto mas que el en eliminatorias................si se me hizo descache no llevarlo.

 

Bacca entro bien ayer

 

Hey muchachones, a couple of questions:

Why did Pekerman replace Aguilar with Guarin, when Aguilar had been one of the best central mids the whole tournament? Has he given a reason why the change?

Is it just me, or the foul on Hulk that led to David Luiz's goal was a shameless dive? I don't think James even touched him, and he got a yellow for it!

By the way, Quinteros and Bacca should have come in at the half for Guarin and Gutierrez. It would have been very possible to equalize then.

 

@elviejomen - Was that you causing all that trouble on Roosevelt Avenue yesterday?

I watched one half at "Hairos" and the other at "Abuelo Gozon", the Colombians partied even after the loss

 

I see, thanks for the explanation. A potentially costly mistake by Pekerman, sadly.

 

Llore en el estadio porque me senti robado. Lo peor fue la falta de humildad de algunos hinchas de Brasil que les dio por insultarnos y reirse de nosotros. Horrible la falta de respeto. Especialmente porque NO fue mejor Brasil. Me dejo mal sabor del pais.

 

That's how Brazilian fans are in general, which is why it will be awesome when they cry after losing. They won't win the WC.

 

Darle las gracias eternas a este grupo de jugadores y a DON JOSE NESTOR PEKERMAN y su grupo de colaboradores, no hay mas nada que hacer.

 

First time I almost cried in front of my girlfriend. Only football can do that to me

 

Las veces que he llorado por futbol fue cuando no clasificamos a Corea Japon 2002, cuando Junior perdio las finales del 2003 y la ultima ahora en el 2014 y cuando quedo campeon en 2010. Ayer estuve a punto, pero me acorde que no valia la pena, este equipo nos dio mucho. Aplausos de pie y con el sombrero quitado.

 

Yo si llore como niña jajajaja

 

I think we all recognize that Guarin was absent and that Teo may not have warranted starting throughout all these matches (although i know he did not start vs Japan). But the player that disappointed the most for me was Ibarbo. He was so impressive in all our 5 pre WC friendlies going back to the Belgium friendly that we all saw him as our new super sub/cuadrado type of player that would wreck defenses and be an X factor in games. He seems to have lost all his confidence and never truly used his speed, ability or height to make a big impact.

But besides all that we came into this world cup without Aldo, Falcao and Valencia, 3 regular starters in Pekerman's
mix. All these 3 players would have had a major influence on that final QF match.

I expect our guys to be in great form during these upcoming qualifiers and with the hopes of Pekerman still leading our team and with this experience now with us, having a deeper run in the next WC.

Last but not least, we were VERY unlucky to be drawn in the hardest bracket to make it to that final. Truly unbalanced brackets.

 

Ibarbo played okay but not great. I don't think he is a left wing sort of player. I think he is best suited to be a player off the bench or staring more on the right as a supporting striker.

Let's give the guy a pass. He was thrown in there with just some friendlies here and there.
He was not a part of the process as long as other players who looked pretty bad.

 

Yea maybe it's cause I've seen ibarbo since his nacional days but I'm confident he can come back strong. He's a player that needs space and against brazil. Well they just didn't give us any. He would've been way more dangerous in that game had he came on as a sub

 

No doubt Ibarbo will play for the NT in qualifiers but my point is that no player (outside of Guarin) had such a big drop in quality from those friendly match ups to the games played at the WC. He played that winger position in some of those friendlies. He would have been the guy actually covering Silva in that goal. My point is that he was relentless and never stopped running. In the WC play he was just your average player at best. Pekerman likely felt that given his raw talent all he needed was confidence. But he never came to be that player that we all expected.

 

Argentina va a ganar!
