    more on the fed. they should have fired him before the Ecuador game and didn't we had like 5 ties at that point and played like utter shit. Even with 2 games to go they could have fired him.... they just kept letting him make excuses

    Going on a goalless streak with the national team in qualifiers is the only highlight we will ever need.

    he made WC with 2 teams and won a copa lib and Suda america cup no? Both teams were weak or at least not super teams.

    he had done very well at youth level in the past.

    his last 4 years with chile and Colombia was not good but for a mid table team or a bottom feeder in Spain, Italy, Germany he would be a great option. These clubs sometimes give a player who just retired a shot. Why not Rueda

    honestly wish he goes to a good team and opens doors for other Colombian coach’s? Who is the last Colombian to coach in Europe other than Maturana like 30-40 years ago?

    He is saying that calling an inappropriate player to >40% of the games might be sufficient for FIFA to punish Ecuador completely rather than just removing those games. In that scenario, Colombia would qualify and with a healthy goal difference I would think...

    But that s a long shot scenario.

    unfortunately FIFA doesn't make these court ruling public, which I think they should.. at least for transparency.

    I mean so many what ifs at that point. Ecuador losing the points... and Paraguay having a chance in the last couple games would that have changed things?

    I think Ecuador should go and get fined. If he isn't Ecuadorian. Then he gets nationalized and can go to the next Copa America or WC if he makes the team

    Frankfurt got absolutely humiliated by Bayern in their opening match of the season. 6-1.

    The guy who subbed in for Borre for the 2nd half scored Frankfurt's lone goal and Rafa needs to be careful because that kid looked dangerous.

    First start in a long while for Santos Borre.
    Hope he takes advantage of it.

    Played like 15 minutes of garbage time, Frankfurt was already up 4-1 and Leverkusen was playing with 10: still nice assist for Hilario’s goal.

    Man, Dortmund could really use him with Haller out indefinitely and Modeste struggling at the 9. And Borre knows the league and would really thrive with the creative talent he'd be surrounded with there.

    He's already had a bad experience with La Liga....I hope he stays in Germany at Frankfurt or BvB pounces on the opp.

    Would be fine with Seria A but can't think of a clear gap at 9 where he would get more minutes which is what he wants.

    Some mid-table level Italian team probably would need some help.
