I was thinking that too but I just don't think he would go that route against Uruguay. Maybe against a team that knows how to keep the ball but those guys are really bad at keeping possession.
I was thinking the same thing. He could have been a dancer in Hollywood based on those moves. At least a backup dancer for someone like Justin Timberlake or something.
Colombia-Uruguay will be played on Friday, November 13th at 3:30 PM Colombian time. Gonna be a hot one in Barranquilla.
According to the google machine the average temperature in November is high of 89 low of 76 degrees F.
It's that Caribbean humidity that makes the air thick with a real feel of +15 degrees higher.... However with such little time to get settled I feel both teams will struggle in heat. Regarding RB, I would much rather have Alzate play RB and move Cuadrado in that internal MF position where he's been thriving with the NT. We lose much more with him not playing MF.
Against Uruguay, I'd also lean toward the more physical guy like Cuadrado. Then again, we play in Quito for the following match. That's also a game where I'd want guys who can run and pressure for 90 minutes. Having Lerma and Cuadrado start both those games would be pretty demanding.
It sure seemed like we struggled with the climate as much as our opponents last cycle. This time around though I think it will work to our advantage. Queiroz wants us to play fast and be in peak physical condition and we have the guys on the wings that can drive Uruguay crazy. (5 subs helps us out a lot too.) Not sure I want Alzate at Rb but he is an option. I'd am leaning towards Munoz or Orejuela.
Lerma is still relatively young and has been waiting for this moment his whole life. I think he has the engine and stamina to play both matches. Cuadrado though may need to be taken out at like the 60 or 70 minute mark against Uruguay.
I would prefer Munoz hands down over Alzate in RB but if it was up to Cuadrado or Alzate I would keep Alzate in RB.
Well, it is going to be interesting to see which route Queiroz goes. Medina is officially out. Hope he calls up Munoz and Orejuela.
Crazy rumor. Colombia is looking into playing Uruguay in Miami with fans: La @FCFSeleccionCol recibirá una propuesta para que el partido ante Uruguy en la Eliminatoria el 13 de noviembre sea en Miami con público. El gobernador de la Florida autorizó desde la semana pasada la entrada de espectadores a los estadios sin restricciones— Cesar Augusto Londoño (@cesaralo) October 20, 2020
And a few minutes ago the crazy rumor has been squashed. The Uruguay match will be in Barranquilla. (That being said, who knows what will happen in the future? Miami or some other neutral site may be still in play as a plan "B".)
haha if Colombia can't have fans because of Covid in Barranquilla .... so they will go to Miami instead haha that's like going I don't want to be shot at with a pistol..... shoot me at me with a rocket launcher instead

Glad I was wrong about Cardona assuming he does play. I did not think it would happen this soon but Queiroz seems to be giving him a chance and it makes me happy. His creative spark and passing can be used. Last cycle he played very well in both matches against Ecuador. And he could also give us something against Uruguay if they close down shop and play too defensive.
Agree. We need another creative other than James. Unfortunatelly Quintero will go to China so this won't do, at least Cardona is still here. I would also think that el Rifle Andrade can contribute. One of the best players in Nacional. Ricaurte could have been if he wouldn't go to the US.
