 After proving himself as Colombia’s top goal scorer with Atletico Junior, Teofilo Gutierez was finally placed on the starting line-up to face El Salvador in Houston, Texas. With no surprise at all, Teo scored  a goal 14 minutes into the game and answered any doubts that concerned him. Colombia ended up winning 2-1 and has [...]

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

                                          Darwin Quintero – Macnelly Torres – Vladimir Marín

Are there any flaws with this line-up? Yes I believe so. First of all, [...]

A decade ago, the Colombian national team was considered to be one of the dark horses of the South American continent. A dream squad with hardcore defenders and lightning rapid attackers who during that time were greater than strikers of the Samuel Eto quality. However during these past years, it has been hard for Colombia to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

What could I say about the game? It wasn’t a great game but it was o.k. In the first half Tevez was sent off at the 24th minute for kicking Bustos. I’ve heard that Bustos should be sent off too because he kicked Tevez first, but I really didn’t see the play. Argentina were playing [...]

We won, we won and I really enjoyed the game. But everything can’t be joy and happiness, I must say that Colombia didn’t play well during the first half and some players did an awful job, that’s disappointing.
Pinto’s lineup was the one I gave on my previous post, so there were no surprises on the [...]

First of all, Rentería is fully recovered of his injury and will play on tomorrow’s game, that’s really great!. On the other hand, Amaranto Perea (Atlético de Madrid, Spain) is injured and won’t be able to play tomorrow. Humberto Mendoza (Atlético Nacional) was called last night but he won’t be on the pitch tomorrow (he [...]

Pinto finally gave his list and called 22 players for the games against Venezuela and Argentina, to be played in 2 weeks. Juan Pablo Angel was left out due medical issues.
The list includes 5 new players: Amaranto Perea, Tressor Moreno, Rubén Bustos, Macnelly Torres and Dayro Moreno. Nobody expected that T. Moreno were called after [...]
