Colombian National Team General Thread

Yup.

Hopefully we beat Venezuela again to start off but this time not have to rely on Falcao to save us in Santiago.

Lol Venezuela you guys called it.

 

Didn't the defending champion get an automatic bid the following world cup?

 

oh thats right i forgot Argentina won the world cup

they still have to qualify regardless? guess its just the home team who gets a free pass

 

Yes , they still have to qualify.

 

that sucks ass

id prefer it if they got a free pass instead of us giving them guaranteed 6 points every WCQ.

 

that more Pekerman bending over for them…… and shit coaches after thaf

 

Champions have had to qualify since 1994 IIRC.

 

Carbonero came out injured last night. He's probably out of the callup...

 

Cue Doogs saying "not surprised" or something similar.

Sucks for Carbonero if he is out for an extended period. This was his chance to get acclimated into the setup before Qualifiers.

 

People are mad he got called because he beat his gf up or rapes someone

 

He allegedly harassed a hotel worker and invited her to fix something in his room wearing nothing.

If that is true then the courts should prosecute him and should be punished. Until then he is innocent until proven guilty.

 

just normal colombian stuff

 

So who’s playing left wing or are we playing two strikers down middle?

 

arias might be on the left. I really feel bad for carbonero. this and that scandal must be hard for him, hopefully he pulls through and comes back stronger

 

after calling Falcao and Quintero really no one should be complaining about anything else. Would say to complain about Vargas at 34 getting called as well

Velazquez to me was the only player that was noticeable trying against the US. Sometimes he seemed pretty good other times like a Corre loco… prefer younger players get a chance than guys who should be retiring

 

Lerma being out sucks too. He has played well for us for the most part and Lorenzo seems to trust him.
The only positive from it is at least it gives the younger guys a chance to play and show what they have from the Colombian League.

 

I like Velazquez's potential and thought he looked okay against USA too.
Shows you how much he does not like Alzate though.
Agudelo he may view more as attacking mid/winger.

 

yea… too slow for a winger and if you will put him in a 10 role you have James, Quintero and Carrascal a head of him.
