Colombian National Team General Thread

can someone explain to me what happened? I leave to take a shower, decide to check twitter and its 2-2?!?! its like Mexico all over again?

 

The team just woke up and played with energy and purpose.

 

Juan Mosquera a lb or Rb?

I know the coach is expermenting but doesn’t seem like he has his 11 or even 6 yet.

Everyone knows I want us to call 50 players to friendlies but we should still start our best 11 win then bring on subs.


Other than Munoz, Cuesta and Lucumi are any of these dudes starters ? Uribe?

I love James I’m the dudes biggest fan boy but dude is slow when we have Diaz back does it make sense to start him? He just slows up play.

So to me that’s 5 potential starters in Qualifiers.

 

Mosquera is a RB

 

yeah don't be surprised if you see a totally different formation, set of players for WCQ.

makes me happy to see Munoz though, im a big fan of his

 

this is literally like the mexico friendly, im satisfied with Castano too. Pleased to see new players emerge

 

I know a lot of people hate him but...
...Uribe is the captain and has played better in this second half so do not be surprised to see him start during Qualifiers.

 

Falcao is coming in.

 

he's hated because he was absolutely atrocious in several critical games.

if he performs well, he can play. (something similar to Stefan Medina in his first few games)

 

here come the goals

 

Barrero coming in

 

a few headers that Borre missed would have def gone in if Falao had been on the field. Neither should be called tho. Also with Duran those are the best 3 #9s we have? Lets play with a false #9 like we did at the 2014 WC then

 

Duran keeps on drifting to the wings. I do not like that as a 9.
Need someone else to emerge.

 

thats because Falcao is on the field

 

Castano looks like a bit like Chicharito from Mexico.

 

Nah, seems like every match I have seen him play. Except for my Fire.

 

2-2.

All things considered not a bad match.
Hopefully we see many changes on Tuesday in Japan.

 

Agreed. Duran likes to drift to the wing. I saw him do that against Guatemala too (in person)

 

is it too late to call up another #9?

I would like to see Montero at goal next game, Machado at LB or 3 in the back, and Dylan or Arias for Valyoyes.

 

Agreed on your changes.

And yes it is too late. I expect Falcao to start at 9 next match.

 

Surprisingly Uribe played well int he second half . They need to chill with that tying/winning the game at second half lmao

 

I'm going to try to find the match later.

Did the absence of a Lerma/Barrios in midfield have an effect?

Seeing the highlights, both of Korea's gols are not products of superiority play. A stupid giveaway from a player I believe never had business being on the seleccion and a free kick just outside the box.

 

Glass half empty - sucks we give up two goals to teams like Mexico and Korea and look so nervous and flustered.
Glass half full- we battled through the adversity and played very well to come back in both matches.

 

Mojica is gifted that spot . He def has no business getting called up .

 

game is worth watching. Good luck getting through that first half

yeah it was like what happened with the U20's. Although imo Korea's pressure mixed with colombia's lethargy caused both goals

I don't think they would have made a difference here, Uribe and Castano were pretty good all things considered
