Colombia vs. Venezuela “The real Test of time”

By: Emmanuel | March 31st, 2009 | No Comments »

Colombia vs. Venezuela (tonight)  

Alright, so the line up for tonight’s game is as follows:  1-4-2-3-1

                                                                            David Ospina

                                Camilo Zúñiga – Cristian Zapata – Mario Yepes – Luis Núñez

                                                              Abel Aguilar-  Gerardo Bedoya

                                          Darwin Quintero – Macnelly Torres – Vladimir Marín

                                                                          Falcao García

Are there any flaws with this line-up? Yes I believe so. First of all, Gerardo Bedoya is known for being a really dirty player and has received a lot of cards for fouls in the past. I have no idea why he is starting but hopefully Lara knows what he is doing. In addition, we have the left back, Luis Nunez who hasn’t had any experience with the national team in the past. Unfortunately, Wason Renteria, who scored against Bolivia, Pablo Armero, and Fabian Vargas, will be missing. Up to now, Colombia has come up with 14 points, thanks to 3 wins, 3 losses, and 5 ties. The team has scored 6 goals and has taken in 8 goals. This is Colombia’s game to prove to their country that they are capable of still dreaming.

winningless and goalless

By: Nando | October 15th, 2008 | No Comments »

6 games in a row without winning and 5 without scoring goals… at least we didn’t lose tonight against Brazil. I couldn’t be happier with Pinto being fired a month ago, but that was just one part of the problem. We still fail to generate goal chances and when we finally get near the goal area, we fail to score…

What could be say about the draw?

By: Nando | June 16th, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I can’t deny that after the game with Peru I felt disappointed in some way, and also pissed off with Pinto. I don’t get why he had to defend a draw when we could have won the game in the first half?? why are playing Rodallega and Perea together since both of them play alike and didn’t get along well ...

Colombia will face Ireland (May 29th) and France (June 3th), preparing its games against Peru and Ecuador for the World Cup Qualifying Round, who will be held later on. Pinto’s list doesn’t include any surprises and it’s based on the team who played last World Cup Qualifiers games (Venezuela and Argentina). I really like the list, the only one I ... [read]


We lost again: 1 - 2

Colombia lost tonight’s game against Honduras at Fort Lauderdale. Suazo and Thomas scored for Honduras, meanwhile Rentería did the same thing for us. I didn’t find highlights on youtube nor any similar web.
The last time we beat Honduras was back in 2001 (Cup America Semifinal) when we won 2-0. Since then, both teams have played each other 4 times (including ... [read]

By: Nando | March 25th, 2008 | 1 Comment »

The final list for tomorrow’s game included just 17 names (as I said on my previous post), and the only new player on it was J. Mosquera (Arsenal, Arg). Hugo Rodallega was called instead of Falcao Garcia (River Plate, Arg), who will be playing with his club on Libertadores Cup game against Universidad Católica (Chile). (more…)

Getting ready for Honduras

By: Nando | March 14th, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Colombia is going to play with Honduras on March 26th, and Jorge Luis Pinto thinks is a good chance to test some players. So he called 4 men who haven’t been capped before. The lucky ones are Stalin Motta (La Equidad),  Paulo Arango (América), Giovanny Moreno (Envigado) and Yossimar Mosquera (Arsenal, Arg). The full list has 25 names, nevertheless, only ... [read]


All ended in a draw

By: Nando | February 6th, 2008 | No Comments »

Colombia probably had the better chances to win the game, we even were winning 0-2 until the 75th minute. Nevertheless, Uruguay scored 2 goals on the final minutes (77th and 86th) and as the title says, the match ended in a draw.
Pinto’s lineup for this game was almost the same I gave you on my previous post (actually juan were ... [read]
