Pre-match: 2026 World Cup (Group K): Colombia vs. Uzbekistan (6/17/26 – Wednesday – 10 PM EST)

I think we'll need Lerma's physicality for Uzbek.

Also #prayforjames because he's going to get hammered by these guys

 

Khusanov is the man btw. Lightning quick and strong as hell, he is not afraid to bully people around

Genuine world class cb in the making

 

I mean we did call Puerta beating rios to the starting line up

just didn’t think it would happen this fast

 

Puerta has been solid in the friendlies. Noticeably better and more dynamic than Rios

 

Have to seize the moment.

 

a whole lot of yellow in the stands

 

Puerta has been good, happy to see him play but the sample size is small and its friendlies against really weak opposition. Rios dropped is crazy, he's better defensively than Lerma in duels and 10x better at everything offensively.

 

A sea of yellow. Our people will always show up.

 

Who sponsors Uzbekistan's jersey? I can't seem to find any info.

Edit: 7SABER, a domestic sportswear company founded in 2021.

 

classic Khusanov lol, already claimed his first victim

 

Not ten minutes in and we get a yellow.

 

Mojica being bullied already, never going to out body these guys

 

Mojica with a yellow solo early…

 

I think we are nervous; we aren't pushing as much as we should, especially with the buildup.

 

pretty strange to see a british ref allowing less than other refs

 

11 minutes in but im not overly impressed by Uzbek, not sure what I was expecting but I was thinking a little more

at least not in comparison to most of the other teams ive seen this tournament

 

Right before our free kick, Lucho was angry that no one sent the ball while he made a run. We need to trust the players who have the means to outpace most players at this cup.

 

Finally we take a shot. Keep feeding the fire parceros!

 

I like Jhon Arias in that part of the field, more centrally

 

I thought Uzbek would have been pressing a bit more

 

They don't have the balls. Come on Doogs.

 

That was a terrible cross...

 

from what ive seen we should definitely be winning this, not impressed by Uzbek.
