Colombia NT

[crzdcolombian]

Ok for Slovenia as we have some people from there here

Teo of River was sent back to Argentina for the Sudamericana as well as Cardona of Nacional. Cardona crossed for Teos header in the only real goal of the 2-1 win.

This game same team but Jackson of Porto for Teo. RAmos of Dortmund for Bacca( so pissed he isn't starting Bacca). Meija of Nacional for Sanchez( not bad think Meija is much better)

Colombia will switch to a 4-2-2-2

-------------------Vargas----------------
Arias---------Murillo---Zapata----Armero
-------Meija--------Aguilar------
James------------------------Cuadrado
---------------Jackson------RAmos---------

Also might bench Armero and use Angulo who was a starter at Granada last season but went to Bulgaria because he is owned by some investment company that has totally fd his career

If you want to see the game real good quality golcaracol.com is showing the game online.

No Handa today tho. Kind of bummed

 

[monster09]

Was so excited when we signed Falcao but he looks worse than Torres. He was among the worst players yesterday in ManUtd U21 vs Spurs U21.

Dude has to fire Mendes as his agent. His agent doesn't stop talking shit and pissed off the coach.

Um last game the pk was on Falcao and Rooney took it. Hadn't scored in forever. Boosted Rooneys confidence. Falcao hasn't been that bad compared to everyone else on the team. Van Gal just doesn't seem like a good club coach.

O and making a player you are paying 10 million pounds + this season is retarded.

Dude should just take a huge wage hit and join Juve this summer or try to get Atletico to buy him. He has to be worth 25-30 million euro at this point.

Also what pisses me off is now that we are ranked 3rd our greedy fat cat federation is making
The nt play 2 shit middle eastern teams for that oil money.

Good thing Copa America is in 3 months all our players are either injured or in shit form

He is our worst striker, he was decent at the start but regressed in every game. He has no pace at all and every single CB has outpaced him.

 

[crzdcolombian]

He was never fast. Was just always at the right place at the right time and a great header. He was never a striker that out ran people .All your players suck under Van Gal. RVP and Rooneys numbers are shit too and dude just came back from almost career ending injury. The fact Man U would pay the amount they did for him blew my mind.

I knew EPL wasn't for him he would be great in Itay(Juve, Napoli,Roma) or Spain in Atletico or Valencia. Barca and Real don't really use steikers as its let Messi or Ronaldo hit 50 this season haha

 

[Willie Miller]

I agree, EPL was the wrong league for Falcao. He doesn't suit the 100 mph English game. Back to Spain or Italy would have been a far better move. And he really needed time to get over the knee injury. He is a great talent, and Van Gaal has wasted him. Di Maria too. I blame Van Gaal for the poor performances of both players.

- - - Updated - - -

Crzd: Was the knee he injured the same one he injured when he was at River Plate? If so, we may have sadly seen the best of him.

 

[thatdude]

It's a shame that many players who are best suited to a certain league can't go there because moneu controls football. No one wants to take a loss even if it's best for the career of the player. Falcao should be at Ateltico Madrid right now if the world was a perfect place.

I also blame Van Gaal for the poor form of Di Maria and Falcao especially. It seems to me like poor treatment of both. Falcao ever start multiple matches back to back? Get a run of 5 games? Di Maria plays best in midfield so you make him play SS? I mean come on.

 

[Willie Miller]

He's a stubborn old goat, Van Gaal. He was correct in choosing a formation that suited his players with Holland. But then, when it worked, he decided the 3 at the back was the way to domination and introduced it at Man Utd before he got to know his players first. Now it hasn't worked, he's lost and is fumbling around with formations and starring line ups each week, and quality players such as Falcao are suffering as a consequence.

[crzdcolombian]

Falcao injured both of his knees before he turned 21 very badly it's one of the big reasons best team who would buy him was Porto. Arsenal and AC Milan were always super interested in him but neither of them wanted to take the risk because of his injury history.

Italy has historically been the best for Colombian players. Adapt easily to it even more so then Spain. We have now been doing very well in Portugal but to me it's not a very good league. Some pretty shitty Colombian league players go there and are 10x the player they were in colombia.

He is shit and done at top level, forget his numbers, his overall play is so average it's so painful to watch him. He can't hold the ball, his first touch is of championship player and physically he doesn't offer much either. I don't see him offering anything better than Hernandez and Hernandez was miles better.

Rooney's number as striker is excellent.

Falcao got plenty of games in a row, just that he was shit he was taken off at 60th min mark. To play him as striker Rooney was played as Midfielder.

Why you talking about rooney in the colombia thread?

Wicked wizard. You're relentless man. I have to give it to you, you're devoted.

Which of the 250 million euro players you guys bought is actually doing well under Van Gal?

Blind, Rojo, Herrera.

Shaw is injured most of the time, Di Maria started the season brilliantly then faded away. Still he sits second in the assists in PL.

Falcao is by far the worst signing, good thing is it's just a loan.

Did you see how Rooney streched the game and played with so much pace? With Falcao and RVP we look like a pub team and without both of them we play with very good tempo. Fellaini is doing 10X better than Falcao as striker and it's not just with his chest and head, ball at his feet is lot more safer than Falcao.

Falcao couldn't even dominate U21s, maybe a confidence thing but can't see him turning it around as there are only 9 games left and all are very very important games

Btw looks like we are still signing him.

What makes you say that? The general consensus within the British press is that he's a gonner.

Van Gaal said in United Review: "We mustn't forget the severe injury he suffered last year and how it kept him out for such a long period and resulted in him not having a good preseason, which is always the catalyst for the campaign ahead.

"I believe he just needs a little time to build his confidence and match sharpness, and it won't be long until he is showing everybody the talent that we all know he has."

This is what Van Gaal said before the game and I believe the transfer is all but done and loan was just a trick for Monaco's FFP. Maybe I'm wrong as his agent said if not United Falcao will play for other big clubs bur from day 1 I thought it was a done deal.

 

[crzdcolombian]

Colombia dropped 11 players from our Copa America squad haha. Falcao not more(he sucks), Cuadrado(coach wants him to get minutes at Juve and be the starter before we start qualifiers)

He called Balanta a 17 year old that plays in our champions. Borre 20 year old who just got sold to Atletico Madrid. Like the squad and called 10 Colombian league guys. Glad I am going to the game. We play Peru for real in a qualifier in 1 month so I didn't want us using our main squad. Starting Strikers, Defense is set(we need a LB), and Ospina is our GK for the next 5+ years at least.

Team is a mix of SNT + U23 as we are playing a play off in October against 3rd place Concacaf team to go to the Olympics.

Crazy and mind blown that he had the balls to Not call Falcao haha. I love Falcao and all but dude went for money. If he had gone to a smaller club like Valencia and taken a massive pay cut he would have more minutes and better form. He just way too fing slow for EPL. I refuse to believe the guy is done(not that it matters he is too old to go to Russia 2018).

 

[Pengo]

if balanta plays like in fm he will be hero

 

[crzdcolombian]

if balanta plays like in fm he will be hero

he doesn't haha. I think Balanta should be moved to a DM or a box to box MF. Some of the attacking runs he makes and his throw ball passes are amazing. Defensively he is pretty good no where near Murillo or Pedro Franco(Besiktas) who are around the same age. Balanta just gets crazy hyped because he plays for River Plate in Argentina.

Colombian players to watch
-Borre - 19 - Atletico Madrid/Dept Cali - Striker utter monster. New Falcao even better at that age then el Tigre was.
-Cardona - AMC plays in Monterrey, Mexico - what people thought Guarin would/could be but 23/24. He just too much of a hot head but his rocket shot actually goes in. Our NT coach trying to make him a Box to box MF. He is a bit fat but might just be like Bacca and Muriel who just have fat faces. Sadly his mexican team asking 15 million euro for him. Shakle 04 in Germany wanted him but they gave a crazy insane price haha
-Arias - our starting RB plays for PSV and looks like Michael Cera. 24 yrs old we have been linked to him a couple times in the past

I think they are the 3 most promising players out of Colombia right now.
