winningless and goalless

October 15th, 2008 | By: Nando | 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 [...]

What could be say about the draw?

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 [...]

Hi all! My name is Hernando Díaz, I’m a new blogger here on worldcupblog.org and I will be writing about Colombian National Team and the South-American World Cup Qualifying round. So let’s get started.
After the America Cup deception, where Colombia gave a really poor performance, losing 2 (5-0 against Paraguay and 4-2 against Argentina) of [...]
