Colombian National Team General Thread

You act as if someone who makes a prediction of any team and it doesn't happen is somehow as infamous as Pele lol.

 

That is one of the coolest yet creepiest thing I have seen a fan do in many years.

Was it a Colombian or a Bolivian fan?

 

Italy should not be ahead of us

just saying

 

They won the Euro 4 years ago and they play a ton of punctuable matches. Maybe their present is not very good, but they have won their last 3 matches, eventough they had a rough start in 2025. OTOH, we lost the CA final, and until the last two matches we had not won a game in almost a year. I really can't say we're clearly better than them.

 

But now we have Suarez. He would score five on them.

 

We are better than them

 

Morocco is a good team with good tactics. I think we can play better than them but they do know how to play good team defense and counter. Very dangerous. I would not want to play them in a knockout.

 

That's one thing with the WC format (and I think next year is even worse), is that a team could win 2 or 3 games, grind through Knockout rounds with draws and PKs, then lose the semifinal and 3rd place game, and still be considered a great campaign.

Morocco 3W 2D 2L
England 3W 1D 3L
Brazil 3W 2D 2L
Uruguay 3W 2D 2L

 

Radame on his stint in Millonarios


“Yo cuando llegué a Bogotá, la gente estaba muy encima, me sentía muy abrumado, me sentía asfixiado y llegué a tener episodios de ansiedad. No puedes respirar, sientes que no respiras y terminaba pasando la noche entera sin dormir. Me sentía abrumado y me mataba que no sabía qué me sucedía y entraba en más ansiedad. Hubo un día que le dije al entrenador, ‘no dormí nada, pasé la noche despierto; déjame descansar’. Y la gente no ve esas cosas”.

Por último, Radamel Falcao García hizo una crítica directa contra el fútbol colombiano, dejando en claro que sus canchas se encuentran en terrible estado, aspecto que afecta al espectáculo y la salud de todos los deportistas. “En la mayoría de los estadios hubo mucho respeto. Conocer el fútbol me ha llevado tiempo, los campos no son como en Europa, lo sufres, hay unos campos que parece que entrenas en la arena de Miami. El juego se termina haciendo lento, pero el campo no te da velocidad, te come las piernas”.

 

I imagine playing on some of those is like playing at the park by my house.

 

Pro footballers have become too spoiled. Tell players from the 1980s that today fields are horrible.

 

Back in my day we practiced in cow pastures and it helped us get better.

 

I mean, I understand that having billiard table like fields helps to make the sport more appealing, and that if spectators want a better product, a proper field is a needed ingredient, but if you're a pro and you are playing on a terrible pitch, aren't you suppossed to know how to adapt, and aren't all the 22 players affected by it?

 

I do agree some players are soft. But our fields are really bad too. Specially on small teams. I'vew seen better cow pastures than some fields here. And that is embarrassing. It show the lack of professionalism in the sport and culture in general.

Watch interviews of field managers in England or other countries and watch the absolute pride in their jobs and their pristine fields.

 

I saw clips of the bernabeu before, even that one looked crappy

 

isn't falcao rich enough to buy Millos? Or another Colombian team? Like dude put your money where your mouth is.

Buy a team make shit better. Falcao, James, Duran, Diaz can just buy the league at this point and fix shit

 

This guy is a clown, he cant keep playing

 

It was bound to happen. Playing a high line and him coming out so far all the time was going to make him let in one like that eventually.

Surprised it took this long quite frankly.

 

The clown had the nerve to yell at his right back lol
