@rebabenzir @80s90sfootball I think the greatest is probably El Pibe Valderrama. My favourite was always Tino. Higuita, Rincon, Ivan Cordoba, James all legends. Andres Escobar will never be forgotten. Lucho and Muñoz are both world class.

@breakthru50 I know people will probably look at LB & GK, but so far I’d argue no one has done enough to dislodge two players who have always done the job when I’ve watched them. Hopefully Lorenzo uses the friendlies wisely: settle on a team, get form and confidence but also explore options.

If Lorenzo is going to continue to ignore Deossa then this would probably be my first choice Colombia starting XI too now… at least most of the debate/disquiet is really about squad players (for now at least). ❤️⚽️🇨🇴

Christhian Mosquera finally gets a full call up for Spain. Looks like he won’t end up representing Colombia then. He would have been a real asset for Los Cafeteros for WC 26 and beyond.

It’s still a good squad. But Deossa & Cucho should be there and I just don’t see the point in Castaño, Borré & Córdoba at all. Asprilla, Portilla & Mina also unlucky to miss out. Feels a CB light. At least Jhon Arias is back playing and in form. ❤️⚽️🇨🇴

The game has gone if that was a foul on the goalkeeper by Van Dijk.

How much will Galatasary miss Davinson Sanchez tonight? And will they turn to Yaser Asprilla if they need a late goal?

@retrofootballnw Remember it like it was yesterday. The first truly great moment for Colombian football in the modern era?

Back at Italia 90, West Germany had just taken a late lead vs. Colombia in their group game. But it wasn't over yet... The late Freddy Rincon finished off a lovely move to equalise in added time. Those kits! Thanks #adidas

Len Deighton was a masterful writer, someone whose Game, Set and Match trilogy I devoured as a teen alongside Le Carré. Go well.
