Colombia, the short trip to Brazil

ThisDrinkingLife and The World Cup: Colombia

Colombia after a break are back at this years World Cup. A team that always entertains and always make the headlines both on and off the field. But I think they will struggle badly. With the striker Radamel Falcao of Monaco out injured, I just cant see any goals in this team. Who else will score the goals? That and a lack of experience in top international football is what will hurt them.

And whats worse is they have José Pékerman at the helm Might as well have a dead dog in charge. Not going to be tactically astute to get out of this group I’m afraid, even if they are top seeds.

if they have a chance its that Colombia is so close to Brazil so for adapting to the climate and the conditions that’s a huge bonus for this team. And they did come second in South American qualifying, so maybe I am too hard on them? But have they played a team as clever as Greece in South America or as physically daunting as Ivory Coast? I dont think so. Sorry Colombia, I dont think you will get out of the group, but hell at least its a short journey home.
