Henderson clearly stuck the head in on some Colombian, so he should have gone as well then, yeah? Was that in extra time or normal?

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.

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.
Guest Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 3 hours ago, Machado said: It's the typical South American mentality and what happened on the pitch yesterday is largely what happens in every other of South American league game. I wouldn't say every other game, but yes it happens a lot here.

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.

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 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.

I saw a meme once, it was something like this In Europe, scoring a goal you get this In South America, scoring a goal gets you this The meme was 2 years ago so I can't find the exact thing, but its pretty accurate

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 Posted July 4, 2018 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
Guest Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 My memory might be off, but wasn't it Orlando Berrio who provoked him?

Guest Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Argentinians are sore losers - Atletico Nacional after the Huracan game. God I love the Colombian accent
Honey Honey Posted July 4, 2018 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
SirBalon Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I’ll post the full transcript and I’ll translate it for everyone later. This way we don’t get any meddling from other news sources. I haven’t got time right now. But it’s juicy!

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..
Marc Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 That was amazing. Always wondered what it'd be like to win a pen shoot out in a WC, fucking incredible. Love our Gareth.

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.

Not sure when that happened the last but pretty sure @Bluewolf and @SirBalon were alive as football wasn't even invented when they were born
Storts Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Little known fact, @Bluewolf was actually in the 1966 world cup winning squad.
Honey Honey Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I remember a bloke with a funny tash saving some pens against Spain in 96, haven't seen him in public life for some time, could be @Bluewolf

Dave Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Legend has it Bobby Moore was converted to a ball playing defensive midfielder in his career due to the influence of @Bluewolf.
