    Right now we just need guys to put shots on target. I guess we are a little desperate which is why someone like Suarez is being mentioned but desperate times call for desperate measures.
    I would not mind him being on the roster but yes, he does not do anything that moves the needle.
    He is not a great hold up player with his back to goal which is why he was tried out at wing when he was last called up for the seleccion. That would be his main weakness to me.

    If we want to take chances on new players I'd rather we call up Neyser than guys like Suarez. But really I think we have enough guys in our pool, just need to give Cucho, Cassierra a chance, but idk an off form Duran is still much better than Suarez and I'd rather play the younger guys who will be the future and get them more experience.

    Man. Jairo Castillo is such a cautionary. He was the most talented offensive player on that team by a country mile and due to la rosca de Maturana barely saw the field that tournament. (Notably, JPA wasnt even called!)

    Just a few months later he destroyed his knee and killed two women in his drink driving accident and never really was the same again.

    Prior to the injury he was absolutely electrifying and a fantastic, cold blooded finisher. Remember the Chilena he scored (I think against Chile!) off the cross from Angel? At the moment they looked like such a fantastic young pairing to build up...

    It is official. Vargas has undergone surgery and will not play Qualifiers in June.

    Reports are Mier will be called up to the roster.

    After what I've seen in libertadores I'd be all for Ospina in goal vs peru. He looks a lot better now than he did last time he played for us.

    Sure Mier would be interesting too but I seriously doubt Lorenzo would let him start, he'd probably even let Vargas start over Mier.

    Yes. I think Lorenzo will go with Ospina.

    Glad to see Mier is being considered to be on the roster though.

    I would ratter see Mier than Ospina, and I am a Ospina fan. Nothing against the guy, he has been doing a great job in Nacional. But I do think we need to go younger for goalkeeper and give him minutes.

    I think many of us would rather see the younger guy get a real chance but within the context and high pressure circumstances of June the chances of it seem slim to none. Mier has never even started a Non-FIFA friendly, which would mean Montero would have priority based on that. (And Montero started a qualifier.)
    Cannot just throw a young keeper into the fire like that without any chemistry with the team.

    IT is being reported by GOLGOLGOL Caracol that Santi Arias is doubtful to be called up due to a nagging injury.

    As crazy as it sounds, I think Ocampo from MLS should be called up and given a chance due to his current form.
    Not sure who Lorenzo will call up though.

    Arias is injured, idk the severity.

    He hasn't played with Bahia either

    Sadly it has been his story. Constant injuries have been his fall from grace. A Shame for such an spectacular player.

    You know we are in dire need for goal scorers when many Colombian media outlets are debating whether or not we should callup Dayro.

    I never, ever would have imaged we would even be having this kind of discussion in 2025.

    Cuesta and Davinson also clinch the league trophy if they win today, I believe. They're up 2-0 at halftime.

    According to Brazilian media Kevin Serna of Fluminense is on the preliminary roster.

    The actual final roster should be released to the public by Friday. Could be as early as tomorrow.

    Brazilian media is also reporting that Santi Arias is training with Bahia. Quicker recovery than expected.
    Let's see if he gets called up.
