Well done lads some great penalties even Henderson was unlucky not to score. Agreed. Heard some people say it was a crap penalty. Not for me. Was well placed but Ospina did well to get down and get that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Colombia always like that in national matches ie vociferously disrespectful and over the top with some of their actions?? They are fannies, but I haven't seen them lose their head like they did yesterday. That was a different level. They have been wank for 3 years now, but it wasn't that bad before. However, its not the first time they approached with a conservative game plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say every other game, but yes it happens a lot here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if he didn't telegraph it on the run up he probably would have scored, Think his run up allowed the keeper to read where it was gonna go. It wasn't a bad penalty at all.

It's also a thing in the Portuguese and Spanish leagues but it's not quite as bad. Mostly the big clubs doing it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of behavior is common in south american football. For example, Brazil vs Colombia in Copa América 2015 was much worse. And if Brazil and Uruguay meet in the semi-finals, it´ll be also much worse. I don´t know, for me that kind of attitude on the pitch is not shocking. We see football in a different way. The real problem for Colombia, and @Blue was right all along, is that Pékerman was too conservative and should have started Uribe instead of Lerma.

Guest Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I was pissed last night but could Colombia have a penalty in extra time. The player couldn't tell who had his arm up but not sure where it hit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about that Brazil - Colombia game, but that was more on the Brazilians than the Colombians. The latter tried to stick up for Neymar, who wasn't having it!

El Profesor 1,457 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 There are always fights in Copa Libertadores. It´s part of what makes the tournament fun. Peñarol vs Palmeiras in 2017. The uruguyans closed the entrance to the dressing room so they could beat Palmeiras players, in special Felipe Melo. The match @Blue mentioned, Atlético Nacional vs Rosario Central. Davinson provoked the goalkeeper when they scored. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I've just seen the Maradona full quotes. One for @Eco Talking about how the ref is American as the reason Colombia lost "The referee will know a lot about baseball, but he has no idea about football. The Colombian players asked for VAR and he did not give it to them" The bloke is thick as his own stomach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is probably worried about where his next lot of drugs is coming from now all the connected sides are out... he will have to start sucking up to the Brazil players if he hopes to make it through to the final..

But we were still better than them, they just looked fancy on the ball but didn't actually create anything until the end and even then other than their goal and long range shot didn't really create anything.
