    La Dorada y Barrancabermeja are hellholes, with temperatures reaching 110F+.

    What kills you in the US during the summer is how long the fvcking days are. In Colombia you know that sunset comes around 6 pm and that after that things get reasonable, but here, you have the sun hitting your face from 2pm all the way to 8 or 9 pm.

    Orlando humidity in late July is brutal. Miami at least is by the water.

    A few years back, after a storm our power went down for about a week. The first couple of days were fine, since the rain and the wind cooled the air down.. The third day was bearable, but after the fourth day, we went to stay with friends that got their power back...

    I think my AC was broke my entire childhood in SoFla. It took me until college to realize that no one ever wanted to come the house bc my parents were too cheap to use the AC LOL

    I had a fan in my room that my cousins would fight over to sleep next to for sleepovers

    Yeah I can't do it, it's miserable without AC with that kind of humidity.

    so Duvan's move to Rome has been difficult because Rome don't have a lot of money and the demands from Atalanta have been a bit complicated but it looks like the move will be completed this upcoming week.

    Im watching his game against Sassuolo and he looks great, very hardworking player and his physical presence is outstanding. Hopefully he can maintain himself and he should be set in Serie A for many more years despite his age. I'm excited to see whether Mou can get more out of him

    Atalanta quietly keep doing great business. That's an elegant exit for a guy they appreciate in Duvan and they keep getting younger and stronger - snagging De Ketelaere to replace Hojlund (who they thought was Duvan's heir apparent but were able to flip for crazy money after one year) is nuts. De Ketelaere was wanted by a few Prem teams last summer to start.

    CDK looked good when he came on, I think Scamacca and Toure are more similar to Zapata though. Honestly they have lots of good forwards now.

    Oh man. I totally forgot they signed Toure too. They really loaded up this summer. So impressive.

    so Andrea Belotti is back for Rome and scored twice, last season he scored a grand total of 0 goals. Against Salernitana he scored 2 excellent goals and had another ruled out via VAR. If Belotti is truly back then suddenly its going to be harder for Duvan to be a regular starter as both him and Belotti are pretty similar in many aspects.

    Some reports coming out that Duvan is changing his personal terms with Roma and this might ruin the deal altogether

    Romelu Lukaku the backup option

    Sierra claiming that Duvan is asking for a multi year deal.

    If Toure is hurt I'm fine with it. Gasperini is a genius and loves Duvan.

    Atalanta have the better team for me anyway and he is a hero there. Would be great for him to retire with La Dea.

    As much as I love Duvan, I think Borré has been meshing well with the wingers so I really hope he gets a team soon.

    Absolutely the best thing for Duvan's career is Atalanta, the player and the coach know and appreciate each other extremely well and Mourinho is the biggest wild card coach in the world and Duvan has a chance to have a legendary career in Atalanta.
