Oh yeah the glorious competitive copa america that the players all definitely care about and aren't just going through the motions, hoping they can get back to a 1st world country without getting attacked by a stray dog.
are you implying that there are no stray dogs in Brazil South Africa or Russia?

Because a team is 11 players not 9 or 8?

Only 3 of Colombia's current team start for their club. 4 today because Arias played instead of Zuniga.

You guys really don't know loving football. You can't analyze matches tactically at all. Colombia was all over Peru until Valencia got injured because we had a functional midfielder who can actually pass the Ball.

--------------------Ospina----------------
Arias---Zapata--Murillo--Armero
----------Sanchez--Valencia--------
Cuadrado-------------------James
----------------Falcao--Teo-----------

How the gently caress does the ball get to the wingers, much less the loving forwards if the two midfielders can't pass a ball forward? Mejia certainly loving can't. Pekerman knew he had problems with this position for over a loving YEAR and FLAT OUT REFUSED to try and find another player. Abel Aguilar injured right before the tournament and we have NO MIDFIELDERS meaning NO ONE TO PASS THE BALL FORWARD FROM THE DEFENSE. Which naturally means HOOFBALL AND PRAY.

And it was poo poo.

Learn loving a thing or two about loving tactics you manchild instead of posting in a forum like you think you understand the god drat sport. Having 11 good players (And they're not 11 good players because Falcao, Cuadrado, Valencia, Sanchez, Armero, Zapata and Murillo have all started a total of 3-4 matches each in the past 3 months. ) means jack loving all poo poo. Tactics is what win you a game. Knowing WHERE to play a player WHEN.

Pekerman hosed up. He played too many players only because they were good in the world cup and didn't give chances to new young talent who are actually starting for their teams like Jose Izquierdo, Felipe Pardo, Freddy Montero, Daniel Torres, Carlos Carbonero, Freddy Hinestroza, or Sebastian Perez.

Still this wasn't THAT BAD because last tournament we LOST during this match. Our defense looked good. Murillo is only 22 and getting good experience against some of the best strikers in the world. Unfortunately just like the World Cup our team is not in the best form right now for this tournament.

I like how serious tactical analysis and discussion of what could be done is called meltdowns on this forum. All it is is a big circlejerk of retards who know jack poo poo about football making stupid comments about "Failcow" and lovely banter.

Brazil has some good defenders though, Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, Miranda, Filipe Luis and Marcelo are all really good, even David Luiz when they don't make him actually defend. And Diego Alves is a great GK too he's just unlucky and gets injured every time he has to play for Brazil.

The problem is the midfield and non-Neymar forwards.
Julio Cesar is legit good now too. He's still a fat old man but he's no longer depressed and suuuper fat. He actually has decent reflexes and confidence now!

You know if I were a player I'd report it as sexual assault (which it is) and try to raise a global stink about it. Call out FIFA by name (which will only work to your advantage) come out crying and poo poo saying it was basically rape.

I can not see that not working in the current climate. Sure CONMEBOL may ignore you, south american news may rip you to shreds, but globally you're gonna win.
football, specially latin american football, isn't really a LGBT friendly sport so if you did come out like that you'd be justified but you'd be immediatly ostracized by fans, players, coaches teams and your career would end. if you turned and elbowed that hosed right in the face you would've come off much better (and he should've IMO).

When will football players learn that, unless you are Pirlo, when taking a penalty just loving leather it. All this changing side or stoping on the run up results in a miss 95% of the time
