Osorio is a great coach but at club lvl; with Atletico Nacional he basically dominated our league for a whole year (while playing Copa Libertadores!!), he never coached a National team which could be an issue; however if I were you guys I would deff will go for the guy. I dont think there is another Colombian coach with more study than this guy he coached in MLS and he was an assistant coach in Manchester City. But once again his success is at club level, i dont know how he will do at his first experience at National team. If we were without Pekerman I'm pretty sure Colombia would go for the guy.
I felt that he changes the formation depending on the rival; and even his team adapts during the game depending on the scenario during the game (you know that there are many scenarios during the game). @pibe10 you are Atletico Nacional Fan you can give these guys more in depth info about Osorio
The Colombian coaches have been very good for us in qualifying. They have both tried to implement a very organized side and I think we will finally start seeing the fruits of this strategy in our next cycle. We can't just throw it all away and start from scratch. I am heartbroken with the showing of this and the last world cup, but some of these guys will become coaches eventually and having played two world cups under their belt will only help our young players. We will do better in Russia. Thank you for all the memories Costly, we might have a hard time finding another goal scorer.
lol @ having a hard time finding another goal scorer.. Pick your poison, Bryan Rochez, Jonas Mejia, Junior Lacayo, Alberth Elis.
Those guys are not sure things man. Listen to Pavon and let's not crown these guys before they are ready. I hope they get it done outside the league and continue to grow technically and tactically. Our league cannot fully develop players, we need them to leave young and be groomed in other leagues.
I think Pavon was alluding to non-youth players. Moreso our league's "stars". Lacayo is at Santos Laguna, and Jonas is at Granada CF of La Liga.. df more do you want. They're also NOT troncos and not completely useless infront of goal or with the ball on their feet. Rochez looked miles better than Costly at Real Espana while Alberth Elis is young but is supposed to be bumped up to the first team for good this season, he's not even going to stay long. His management is taking him to Europe this summer.
Hey hermanos, muy dolorosa nuestras eliminaciones hoy, yo rezaba que uds empaten pero bueno no se dio, una lastima por Suarez a quien se quiere mucho en mi pais, lastima que Ecuas y Catrachos dejamos mal a nuestras confederaciones. igualmente, saludos a uds y nos vemos en Russia 2018
http://www.diez.hn/laseleccion/723217-99/carlo-costly-se-despide-de-la-selección-de-honduras From the mouth of the horse himself. Costly retires from the NT for good in favor of the younger guys, unless its an emergency.. like a true hero lol. Muma, Costly... Noel plz do your civil duty and call it quits in favor of El Buba.
Beginning of a new one, Costly was important to Suarez's style of play, but I'm more than confident Jonas Mejia can pick up from where he left off as a goal scorer.
Well, I don't see Juan Carlos Osorio leaving us for the head coach of Honduras with all due respect. He already stated not so while ago that He will leave only to coach Colombia (assuming that no other NT will want him) and he already rejected an offer from the Canadian federation. As for his formation, he usually try different formations and go with what works the best at the moment. For example, last year he tried in one game a formation of 3-3-3-1 and the club had ana amazing run with this system. This tournamet it was more of a 4-2-3-1 type of play. These are his usual favorites formations.
Hate to break it to you, but with the recommendations of Suarez and Rueda, anythings possible especially Osorio taking this job. He almost took it before Suarez did, but the two parties couldn't agree to the set date for him to take the job, so it fell through. His name is buzzing among other candidates.
How stupid is Suarez. And I don't mean the one who bites. Andy Najar looked as fit as possible and all he got in the games v. Ecuador and Switzerland was ********ing 10 minutes. Muma Bernardez was piss poor and I severely hope that this was the last match for him. Same for Beckeles. And Jerry "hey I'll try and head this ball which is 10 cm off the ground" Bengtson. Izaguirre better be injured, I hope Suarez is not that stupid. Sad to see Costly injured in his last match. I thought in the middle of the game that it would be awesome to see Mario and Rony Martinez just for your reaction over here Catracho. The scenes if one of them scored. But yeah it's time for a new era. I think Roger Rojas will turn out as a beast for La H in the next qualifiers. Rochez seems like a brilliant talent and I hope Lacayo can also fulfill his potential. Not to even mention Jona Mejia and the main man Najar. Leveron in the defence, Lopez in the goal, and also Alex Lopez in the midfield. How is Lacayo doing btw?
Too many things happened since he was candidate especially our success. Also, like I said, he already rejected one NT and already declared that he will leave only to coach Colombia. Of course that anything can happen, but he has a contract with us until 2016 and I don't see him going anywhere.
With Honduras he have a really good chance to play World cup... With Canada is way harder. While Pekerman is in charge he wont receive an invitation from Colombia, maybe he is waiting the end of the world cup, to see his options.
I don't think that his goal is to appear in the WC with Honduras, Canada or Costa Rica. Don't want to sound disrespectful and of course anything can happen, but there's a reason why he signed foanother 2 years in the club, to continue his process which is going extremly well. And again, with all due respect to our friends here, I think that Osorio can be easily the coach of Colombia, Chile or Uruguay other then the Concacaf NT's.
No offense taken pibe. We know that the job is not the most prestigious but he might want to prove himself with a national team in the biggest of stages and we might be the team that is willing to give him a shot. Keep in mind that it is very rare for a prestigious national team to give someone a nt newbie coach a shot. There is a big difference between coaching a club and coaching a national team.
Honestly guys, we've qualified to the World Cup twice in a row now and haven't had positive results (maybe just flashes of attractive attacking ball). This tells me two things: 1- we have to have a good amount of funds at our disposal (especially since Colombian coaches aren't the most expensive) 2- our soccer isn't progressing at the intercontinental level. I feel like Honduras and Ecuador have the same issue. They've fallen in love with that boring goal lacking Colombian style of play. If we really want to evolve or at least begin to make a positive transition to a new seleccion we need to hire a coach with a little more weight and aggressive mindset. No offense to the Colombians on this board, but even their national team opted out of national coaches and looks miles better than they did with Eduardo Lara, even with a handful of the same exact players from that 2010 cycle (the man did wonders with their youth teams but he didn't complete the job at the highest level).
