Homie, better not give us bad luck.

 

Fro’s fasting helped us in the 2018 World Cup

 

Alright, throw your starting formation :

----------Ospina

Munoz-------D.Sanchez-----Mina -----Tesillo


Cardona --Barrios----Cuellar -----Diaz


Borre ----Zapata -----


I know what we lose with Cardona. But he's the only clutch player we have in the NT and shows up when we most need it. Even if he's not at 100%, 1 pass, 1 shot that's all it takes. Look at Uruguay's win vs Paraguay. Stupid push in the box earns the penalty and eventually the win.

No matter what, these guys have to bring it.

 

I thought about Fabra as well but if Rueda didnt use him in less important matches I just don't know if he'll trust the hole he's going to leave behind his flank. I guess if we're going to leave this tournament, I'd rather we do it with a dominant team on offense.

 

Yeah in the group stage. I tried again for against England but I guess it's one run per competition.

 

Beat the Charruas

Valverde is the danger for them

guy can run for days and is always going forward

 

Fabra isn’t going to start Rueda has given him 0 minutes.

I wonder if he will play Munoz in Cuadrado spot or Medina.

 

Valverde's game has been improving in this Copa, but between Nandez and DeLaCruz they are giving their team a lot of width. I don't see Tabarez taking the game to us the way he did it vs Paraguay. He knows our team is prone to make a mistake in the back. There have been some close calls with Ospina's clearance and we all know that Mina trusts his feet a little more than he should.

Regardless of what they do we can't just possess the ball for 90 minutes and wait for the1 minute of inspiration. Most of our goals/threat start from outside the box but need to see a bit more threat from balls thru the middle/ground (something Cardona can do well). Godin + Jimenez are locks high in the air and we need to use our player's agility and speed to beat them down low or at least a mix of it all.

Colombia needs to stop/slow down the game. I feel it works against us and the rhythm of play. I would have to guess not having Cuadrado will help us in this dept somewhat.

 

No cuadrado, feels like its going to hurt us.

 

Honestly Cuadrado needed thr long deserved break. It was annoying not seeing hum subbed and given a chance to recover. 90 minutes games multiple times in the same week would have caught up to him.

 

I really hope we win and the guy who replaced him does incredible.

I really really want to not see Cuadrado any longer in yellow

 

Shut.up.

 

Cardona?

 

How has the players been doing? I assume resting and training well enough?
