Colombian National Team General Thread

I wish I had that space to put such a TV. I have a 55" in my apartment but I've had it for half a decade and want to significantly upgrade in size.

 

Be prepared to be disappointed and spend a lot of money.

 

Bro Colombias games are always busy

 

Depending how far we go. Lol. I was willing to spend over 6k for 4 matches; if going by selective games location wise I would be shocked if it goes even close to that.

 

We're a fam of 5 - I was figuring about a $24k budget which is the average vacation cost for a family of 5. But i think I might have to pick a favorite kid and for this WC and just travel together . This is absurd pricing levels and doesnt include the $500-$1000 you'll spend on parking and food!

 

That's optimistic if drivable distance; if I have to fly to the location and take an Uber. Also something tells me that the stadium food will not get any better even with the world cup.

 

yes, I was specifically thinking about Giants stadium. I live 20 minutes away

 

Hope you get a chance; if we play in Mexico it would save me A LOT of trouble travel wise. If USA i would like a match in LA...

Those prices are the VIP Hospitality packages. There are going to be a less expensive version of the “Follow Your Team” when the primary ticket sale happens next month.

in my case, I am going to apply for games in NY/NJ (home), Philly (2 hour car ride), Miami (3 hour flight to stay with my mom/bro use their car), or Monterrey (wife’s relatives live there allegedly)

 

In addition to the Nigeria and New Zealand friendlies there's still talk of Croatia and Belgium in March.
Caracol is speculating that those games in the spring will occur depending on the draw. If we get either team in our Group then there will be no Friendlies against that team obviously.

 

Colombia vs Auckland City

 

no more Kevin Mierda please, guy is a clown. He's nothing but BS, we need a serious gk, no more games. We need someone who can do the basics

 

If we would have been eliminated we would have one of the "youth taxi driver" interim managers call up mostly Nacional players and MLS dudes.(Kidding, kinda).

It is probably going to be Vargas from here on out. Unless Mier wakes up.
Alexei is not going to be called up because hopefully his team will be making a deep run in the Sub 20 World Cup. (And he may not even start in that tournament.)

I love Monsalve but I think he is injured. Chances of him being called up this cycle may be slim.

Sini is playing so maybe he will get a chance again.

Would love to see Deossa.

 

Sometimes you go to extremes like CrzD does.
Mier played pretty well against Peru and was not bad against Argentina.
One match should not eliminate him from being called up again.

 

Nah, hes been doing this stuff from the beginning. In Mexico too and what happened the other day was just more of the same, should not have been a surprise to anyone.

If this guy keeps playing, he'll keep doing the same stupid stuff. He hasn't even mastered the basics, he cant be relied on and he isn't a serious gk. We put him in an important game, where he costs us actual results is when people will finally take this stuff serious, better to stop it now before there's actual consequences

 

Uh, we did put him in a real game. A real important game and he did not cost us in Argentina.
Again, one match should not eliminate him from being in the mix.

 

Montero did get some minutes the other day and is expected to start the next game for Velez. He can be the possible replacement for Mier but the options after that are almost non-existent.

 

Lucumi cost us a title and the Argentina game. Same with Cuesta. Guys are too nice

lautaros Martinez leg should have been broken in half and we should have tried to stop a pk or ate a red card

Things reversed and otemendi breaks our forwards leg in a second.

 

when the performance is this shit, it does.

 

Nope.
We need someone else to be playing and in form to replace him. Cannot just say thanks but no thanks cause you had a bad game in a meaningless game against Venezuela.

 

well I'll say it

thanks but no thanks.

 

Let's see what Lorenzo says
As I said, maybe Montero get's called but there's not too many other options getting minutes.

 

I feel more confident with our usual trio of grandpa's, Ospina, Vargas and Montero.

If they can get us through the upcoming world cup, we can take our time after.

right now, not a good idea to fool around with clowns. Just someone who will parry the ball away correctly, someone who can hold a ball in his hands when its shot at him, its all I want. Just do the basics.

even Pep Guardiola got sick of Ederson's nonsense and sent him packing, he brought in a no nonsense goalkeeper in Donnarumma because he got sick of having to worry about a guy messing up the basics every other game.
